Adding Bots to non Coop maps

Post by datoneer »

OK this is a carry over from that other site. I am attempting to add Bots to Berlin CTF Desertcombat. It has gone so well this morning that i want to throw my PC into the street. So here is what the original poster posted...

OK, check this out... i'll be using Kursk TDM as an example:

in the tdm.con file, add "run ai v_arg1" right before you run objectspawns.con so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

run tdm/SpawnpointManagerSettings

run tdm/SoldierSpawnTemplates
run tdm/SoldierSpawns

run tdm/ObjectSpawnTemplates
run tdm/ControlPointTemplates

if v_arg1 == host
   run ai v_arg1
   run tdm/ObjectSpawns
   run tdm/ControlPoints
else

endIf
then, in the file AI.con, you need to add two lines at the top:

Code: Select all

run AI/AIdefault.con v_arg1
run AI/AIbehaviours.con v_arg1

If your map doesn't have an AI.con, then check in the cherry BF version of the map (if this is a mod that just doesn't have the AI.con, then that means noone has made a coop version of the map... go make one!!)

Now, open the game.rfa of either your mod or from cherry BF. your looking for two files and a directory with 4 files. They are:

Bf1942/Game/AIdefault.con
Bf1942/Game/AIbehaviours.con
Bf1942/Game/AI/Strategies.con
Bf1942/Game/AI/radio.con
Bf1942/Game/AI/prerequisites.con
Bf1942/Game/AI/conditions.con


Extract all of these and put them (keeping the same directory structure) in your map RFA.

For example, now in my kursk map, i have:

Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/AIdefault.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/AIbehaviours.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/conditions.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/prerequisites.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/StrategicAreas.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/Strategies.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/AI/Strategies.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/AI/radio.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/AI/prerequisites.con
Bf1942/levels/Kurks/AI/AI/conditions.con


This will get bots in the map, but they wont do anything, and that's because the weapons their holding have no AI stuff on them (for some reason, if you dont run COOP, they dont get run).

Just include the AI files for any weapons you have in any of your kits. For this modded version of Kursk, i have no vehicles and sniper kits only, so here's what i needed (put this at the end of TDM.con, or Conquest.con for CQ mode):

Code: Select all

rem you need these two no matter what
include ../../../../../objects/items/basekit/ai/objects.con
include ../../../../../objects/soldiers/common/AI/Objects.con

rem include all weapons:
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/EliteKnife/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/Tabuk/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/KnifeAllies/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/M82/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/M25/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/Browninghipo/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/KnifeAxis/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/GrenadeAllies/AI/Weapons.con
include ../../../../../objects/HandWeapons/M9_beretta/AI/Weapons.con
Now your set! repack your map as a _002 or whatever, and up it to your server, and look at dee bots go!


this is what i have done and all i get is an Epic CTD on map load at about 2/3 completion
first my CTF.con

Code: Select all

run Ctf/SpawnpointManagerSettings

run Ctf/SoldierSpawnTemplates
run Ctf/SoldierSpawns

run Ctf/ObjectSpawnTemplates

if v_arg1 == host
run ai v_arg1
run Ctf/ObjectSpawns

i did put some bots in conquest coral sea once, but it was a long time ago now so dont remember exactly the procedure. if you want i can upload that map somewhere so you can take a look at it.

Freddy's right. It's definitely SSM. I know. I've done hundreds at this point. CTF, CQ, ObjectiveMode, etc.
If you're adding bots to BOTH CQ and CTF modes, then it gets a bit trickier because you'll probably want different strategies, strategic areas, etc for each mode. Can you post your AI.CON and CTF.con?

P.S. Hiya fellas! FoOK just let me know where you've all been hiding since the mass exodus from SSM.COM!

You don't have AI file writed, you will get an error, you must rewrite Strategies.con, if you don't, bots will go to the wrong position(the pos are not Control Point)
What is the meaning of Life?? (Don't think about it!)
