Plugging in the Tutor Bot to a Custom Mod

[jastolze]

Hey, I've just recently been trying to install the Tutor bot into a WW2 Total Conversion Mod that I found while browsing Gamers.org.

While I understand how to accomplish this, the coding in the WW2 mod is a bit different than the tutor bot explains.

For example, in Client.qc, it tells me, to look for this under the ClientObituary" section: "if (targ.classname == "player")"

and change it to this: if (targ.classname == "player" || targ.classname == "bot")

but nothing of that sort comes up. They must have modified the default. I'll attach the qc files, if anyone wants to have a go at this. It includes the Tutor bots code AND the WW2 Source.

I'm still pretty new to this, and I know it's easy to do, so could someone explain this to me? Thanks!

Nah I got it working. It was written a bit differently that's why I couldn't find it.

Strike what I said above about it working. I modded into a different mod, not the one I posted, and still, no Tutor bot shows up... Please, if anybody knows how to get this working please help.

ClientObituary

IM NO QC EXPERT! I have never installed a bot but from what i know the ClientObituary is just the part that states how you die on the screen. like player was killed by a fish...

i would just skip that part move on and see how it works... sometimes its hard to mod a mod if your not use to that mod.

I think I did skip this, and it ended up compiling just fine. Now, I just need to figure out why it won't add bots...

You CAN spell! (mostly [use~used])

Why "used" instead of "use": Used implies past tense, or the fact that you have done it before, which implies familiarity.

It ought to be something like this:

quake.exe -game WW2 -dedicated 12 -condebug + deathmatch 1

If you use -dedicated you will see it run in a DOS type window, and you may see some error messages there with the condebug option. It creates a log file in the game directory called: qconsole.log that you can open with a text editor.

You might need the deathmatch cvar set to at least 1 when using bots depending on the mod. You can do that in the command line like I noted or bring down the con and type : deathmatch 1.

Make sure no other cvars need setting like teamplay or temp 1, re-read the instructions again. Also, the shortcuts you took to get it to compile may be responsible for not getting them to spawn. You might want to post the code you ' short-cutted ' here, could be important.

I'm playing this on a PSP, so that means -quake.exe will do nothing. I do have the deathmatch thing there, too. I'll try condebug, but I doubt that's going to do a thing to help. Thanks, though.
