new maps crash bots

Hi,

I am using iw4x 0.7.5 with iw4x_bot_warfare 2.1.0. In Search & Destroy and especially third-person Search & Destroy, on certain maps, the bots get "stuck" like they don't have waypoints or something. The only settings I change are killcam off and third-person on.

On the defending side of Backlot in S&D, bots often get stuck in corners, like this one:

On the attacking side of Backlot in S&D, especially third-person S&D but also sometimes first-person S&D, the bots get stuck in the spawn area:

In third-person S&D, it's like the bots don't even try to destroy the objective, just run in circles - do they require first-person camera for waypoints or something?

This happens to a lesser extent on Bloc, at least Block still remains playable but is still a bit "weird" in terms of third-person S&D waypointing vs first-person S&D.

It's a shame that this mostly seems to affect third-person S&D since it's my favorite game mode.

Bots are also getting stuck on these maps in S&D as well: Chinatown at spawn running around looking at the ground, Countdown at spawn running around looking at the ground, Pipeline at spawn and on the other side they get stuck on walls, and Downpour stuck behind objects.

I have installed the mod no worries, all the options work. I can spawn in all bots.

BUT, when they get close to each other or me, they target but do not do anything and usually get stuck. Sometimes a random bot will run around knifing here and there, but they do not shoot guns at all.

There ping is 999 not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Im trying to play here but the bots are just randomly finding everyones position with wallhacks and killing them with aimbot.

map selection screen seems to have repeating listings of maps, along with some missing ones, not sure what causes this but its quite inconvenient if you arent using dedicated server

As far as my observations go, bot pathing is likely to fail if one waypoint to another crosses a sabotage or demolition objective which leads into the bots jumping around the objective, until they decide to do something different or get killed.

I imagine it could be hard to fix due to how the waypoint-system works.

I try to run with votemap mod... But its not working with your mod... When i copy and paste all of the files for userraw folder...

i'm using iw4m but i've also tried using iw4x and each time i tried to load a map it gives me this error for both...any fix :D
https://prnt.sc/1sct70y

I love your bot mods but would like to ask if it is possible to add some features to your iw4x bots.
If you could add a menu that when connecting a player could choose if he wants to play with streaks or specialist and could choose his specialist configuration.
I am Cuban and I play in lan mode with friends here in my country due to the difficult access to the internet and we had a lot of fun with that game and your mods. Thanks in advance this has been translated from Spanish to English with the google translator

I need more unique weapons for drop it from bots. Is it real? For example, I need autorifle with more than two perks.

I am on iw4x version 0.7.2

I have installed bot warfare in my mods folder but it doesn't matter if I run it on a dedicated server or via private match. It just doesn't work. Pressing '5' on my keyboard doesn't do anything.

while setting up the dedicated server, I made sure to set the DVAR "fs_game" to "mods/bots" but it doesn't seem to do anything.

When starting the dedicated server, I get this error (See screenshot)

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I try and play with bots and load in I get an error that says "script compile error unknown function httpgetmaps/mp/bots/_bot_http.gsc" not sure how to fix

Hello, I'm trying to implement the bots into a mod, I have them set to only go to allies and be 1 bot only, he keeps spinning in random directions aiming in and out of his gun and walking backwards and forwards. sometimes he will follow the waypoints for 1 second then go back to spinning in random directions.

Clearly the bot is following the waypoints, it is on shipment and the waypoints loaded correct.
I'm trying to ascertain as to what the bot is trying to target or follow but keeps getting stuck in a loop somewhere trying to find a nonexistent target?

However when I try to print bot.target or bot.script_target or bot.script_goal they all return undefined.

I would love to get in contact on discord if possible, I highly appreciate your project my friend.
My discord is Locates#4189

I have installed cod4x. I can see the version in the bottom right.
I have installed bot warfare.
I have loaded bots from the mod menu.
I "Start New Server", let the default settings and click "Start" (default map is Ambush)
Once the map loaded, no bots are added.
Pressed default action slot 2 key (5) nothing happens.
Typed \bots_manage_add in console, get Unknown cmd bots_manage_add
Typed /bots_manage_add in console, get Unknown cmd bots_manage_add
Typed /set bots_manage_add in console, nothing happens
Typed \set bots_manage_add in console, nothing happens

How to play with bots?

Hi! I get this on a dedicated server multiple maps, when loaded spamming this line forewer...

This is for bad waypoints? I pulled all of your waypoints from here: https://github.com/ineedbots/iw4x_waypoints

Thanks.

In the instructions, you point out to your release page to download the latest version, but it seems empty:
https://github.com/ineedbots/iw4x_bot_warfare/releases

This happens with the minecraft map and with all the others I hope it is fixed
https://streamable.com/r6ugis

This error happen when the mod add bots in the next map rotation. I have no advance knowledge on programing, sorry for any inconvenience

When I load the map, the bots wants to walk through the wall. It seems the waypoint have issue.
I install iw4x_full_game and use official release of BotWarfare(z_svr_bots.iwd).

Any advise? Thanks.

Bots getting stuck in spawn or moving then getting stuck on mp_compact (Salvage)

When I try to load a map using the map iw4x crashes with this error. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/501613855345213443/883956775219494912/unknown.png

class names arent showing up in the create a class menu, while this doesnt need fixing, mainly because they still highlight, it would be nice to see them. I have also noticed that the bots can be absolute laser beams from a distance, if the bots could be a little less accurate based on range at least with weapons that arent snipers, i think this mod would be a lot closer to treyarch's bots

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically add a preset number of bots to every game that one starts without having to wait for opening the menu once a game is started by hitting the '5' key and selecting manually the amount of bots to add. I was looking at _bot_utility.gsc file and the bots_main_waitForHostTime and bots_main_firstIsHost functions but I am not sure what needs to be changed. In the wiki it also states that bots_main_waitForHostTime default is 10 seconds. I was not able to find where this 10 seconds is being set at. If anyone can help me to add this automatically add bots to a new local LAN game functionality it would be greatly appreciated.

The game runs fine with 7 bots on my laptop with 300fps, but adding more bots lower the fps to 150, and the mouse feels very laggy. Is there a way to improve it, or can I add more bots as enemy, like 6v2 instead of 4v4?

Hi, loved this mod btw its so refreshing to see no more of those glitchy bots.

Was wondering if you could add an option to name your bots instead of singular alphabet named bots.

Thanks!

I have the base game and all of the dlc installed from steam, i did a clean install of iw4x and the bots mod from github. However every time i try and load up a map i get this. "script error unknown function botweapon maps/mp/bots/bot.http.gsc"

I've asked on the discord for iw4x and they have no idea either, only happens with this mod, and no antivirus is blocking anything

Decided to share my waypoints here.

• Generally added more routes
• Added more camp spots
• Bots navigate around bomb spots
  waypoints.zip

On most maps except Afghan, brecourt and complex there could be more waypoints for grenades, claymores, javelins

Currently bot-names are taken from the top to the bottom of the bots.txt file. It would be better in my opinion if these are selected randomly.

Current bot naming if 4 bots are spawned:
a
b
c
d

Desired bot naming if 4 bots are spawned:
a
z
b
k

Does the mod have autoupdate implemented? Or do I need to update it manually?

Thanks.

Hi! I'm using iw4x latest version and bots warfare latest version. So i noticed that bots stucks on map Winter Crash, also "bots.txt" in userraw folder nothing changes in game:|

Spectated some bots and they often hold a predator or harrier killstreak without using it. In fact I never have seen one of these killstreaks in my current playtime (around 8 hours).

I hate to spam here but ive noticed another issue with these dudes, they dont seem to be very aggressive in objective based modes, a good example of this is S&D, 9 rounds out of 10 they seem to just deathmatch, instead of sprinting to the objective with the bomb, another example is in domination, where it's way too easy to corner the opposite team, they seem to go for caps very slowly instead of sprinting and i feel like if they did there would be a lot more challenge here. they do the killing just fine, they just need to have a higher priority when it comes to objectives like flags and bombs. just a thought.

Hello, I used to play with bot in private third person mode. But today I finally noticed that Bot's aim is inaccurate while ADS in 3rd Person Team Tactical mode. You know third person mode is official game mode in MW2.

As you can see in snap shot I captured, while ADS bot aim sideways not aim direct on my head. This happen bots with AR, LMG, SMG automatic weapon and bot with sniper aim and shot well in third person mode.

Hi there.

Got a quick question. I noticed that this mod is included in the IW4X Modern Warfare 2 distribution, which is cool. However, after setting my server up for bots (setting fs_game, etc), I loaded into the server and had bots spawn. However, this server instance was not running with "thereisacow" and "sv_cheats 1" or "devmap".

The bots were doing really weird stuff, like some would do nothing until I shot an enemy that it saw and then it would start running somewhere else, some would slowly move, some would traverse the map but then seem to be attracted to me and would follow me like a companion, some would have a party at a waypoint.

Bots are configured to do things and they are set to do them (I double checked it to make sure the settings stuck).

Is this a known bug with the IW4X shipped copy of Bot Warfare? The files seem fairly recent from January 2021 in the package.

Can upload a video to show what behaviour they perform. Hope to get this working so I can have a LAN server with bots for a good time.

With a few maps; particularly Karachi and Strike are two I'm certain of, they do not seem to load user created/saved wp files. Even as dirt simple as the waypoints I'll link below, it simply just doesnt load it. In the console upon initializing the game, it strictly states

attempting to read waypoints from waypoints/mp_checkpoint_wp.csv

and proceeds to load the default 196 waypoint file from http.

I have other maps that load waypoints totally fine, however I'm still not 100% that I can isolate it to being map specific, though it does appear to be.

here's the very simple karachi wp file I created, in which it does fail to load (though no errors are provided in console)

I'm really unsure if there is potentially any error I'm creating but I'd venture to guess not... I usually load the default waypoints, then go around deleting numerous waypoint markers that are more or less out of the way, so that bots route to higher traffic areas of the map.

I play bot warfare on iw5 pluto and it runs very well, but on iw4x I get 350+ fps on a custom game with no bots, and as soon as I add 17 bots (or even less) it gets extremely laggy and the fps drops to 120sh (feels like 40 though). Is there a fix for it without having to create a dedicated server?? I just want to play it in custom games, thx in advance : )

if i can figure how to do it myself i will, but bots have no idea where to go on this map, when i swear the have before.

I dont know whether this is related to your mod or IW4X, but bots are using guns from CoD 4 and its annoying. Please give us option to disable those guns so bots can only use the vanilla (base game) guns.
Also nerf those bloody quick scopes. I swear bots can make a montage of how they quick scope me with that M40A3 from cod4.

Hello!

Is it possible to have further information of the contents that is downloaded from the sv_wwwBaseURL, provided in the default cfg? I wish to change the path to download from another endpoint. 🥰

Vars:

set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://rawcdn.githack.com/ineedbots/www_host/main/iw4x/"
set sv_wwwDownload "1"

Bots get stuck when trying to reach a carepackage outside of map. They stay at edge of map trying to reach it until it despawns. Same case if carepackage is on roof.

I use bot warfare on IW5 and it runs without any problems, but on IW4x it begins to stutter when I add more than 11 bots.

Whenever I play using this mod Offline, the game never saves my progress. I tested out spawning the "dummy" clients in vanilla IW4X and it seems to save the progress I make, but as soon as i switch over to Bot Warfare the game will forget my progress made and revert to an older level and xp amount

I see them shooting killstreaks with an MP too often.

Since the only place where you can have map voting screen is in lobby, is it possible to add support to lobby? Currently, lobby requires at least 2 person before the match can be started (for team based games. not ffa). Is it possible for the bot to join the lobby if player present? and disallow bots to vote map?

Thanks.

It seems to be all but gone from the mod now. Why was it removed? I liked it.
In my opinion, it was one of Bot Warfare's biggest selling points, and it was the reason why I installed the mod to begin with.
It would be great if it could be re-added because it was hilarious watching 5 bots hackusate each other.
If it was removed because people didn't like it, they could've just turned it off. Not that hard to do.
Many thanks from CrazyCSIW6
