you most likely do not have the latest version im guessing... <a href='http://rcbot.houstondod.com' target='_blank'>http://rcbot.houstondod.com</a>

that one is 2.0 compatible

i had this prob with the latest version that supports 2.0

most likely u have dialup and the bots somehow make you want connect to the internet to authenticate, which will crash your comp if ur running ns at the same time.

go to ctrl panel-> int ops-> connections
and check "never dial a connection"

Vri

thx for the responses but i do have the latest version for 2.0 and crunchy that option is already selected on my comp, if i figure out a way around it or fix it i'll post it up here incase anyone else might have the same problem

Never seen this problem occuring, make sure all the config files etc are in the right place on your hard-drive... I've seen a lot of servers run it for hours on end. But I will have to reproduce it to ever try and fix it. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yeah, I've gotten this problem when using the latest version for 2.0. What happen was when I was in the ready room, I added a bot to the aliens team. As soon I entered the marines team, the game crashed. Maybe next time I should try to add bots when I'm already on a team. I always have my DSL connected to the internet and I don't have a "dial connection" option set at all so I doubt that's the problem.

I've had a game crash on NVOPENGL (open gl) when joining marines/aliens before, I don't know why, I can't see why it's a bot fault, maybe an NS bug somewhere? I've managed to run a debugger on it and skip a few lines of assembly and then the game runs fine though.

Vri

well actualy savage i should have also mentioned it but skipped it.. if im on a team and then i add a bot it still crashes

this is sorta a tangential question -- I don't crash when I use rcBots, but the bots don't seem to do anything... that is, they either stand around doing nothing, or ferociously attack their nearest friendly RTs with knives... I intended to use them for commander practice, but they weren't listening to my orders... never saw them build any structures I dropped, nor did they go toward my waypoints... I think I saw the aliens build a structure or two before they, too, decided to just stand in place... anyway I'm not dissing the bot -- just wondering if I'm doing something wrong? maybe the waypoint file didn't load right? this was on ns_hera but I think I tried tanith too...

You haven't got the NS 2.0 compatible bot(s) installed <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

maybe you're right; maybe I didn't uninstall the old version the right way before installing the new version :> I'll check again when I get home. thanx <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

the bots suck, there not really good. all they do is walk around follow u build tfs, prototype labs, obs, and armourys all over the place and the aliens jus walk around the hive and they build 1 dc and 1 oc near it thats all. the skulks jus run around the hive area.

RaVe

well,it's just a portover of the first bot system

right now he is most likely doing more of his new code,the old one = ditched

Go into a team first and make sure that the game started!
The game only starts when both sides have players.....
Then add a bot!
Or try the <a href='http://www.whichbot.com' target='_blank'>whichbot</a>!

Can both bots be run at once? I usually only use RC for skulk fodder...And they are completely screwed if they encounter a lift...

clamatius

Yeah, you can run both bots at once. See the FAQ at <a href='http://whichbot.com' target='_blank'>whichbot.com</a>.
