Wait, reading at the first page I saw this. Is NS 2 already released? How come I havent noticed?
Weird. I've never had the pick-up and break problem before.
When I installed RCBot it worked nearly flawlessly.
I assume you've installed all the necessary stuff, like metamod, correct? Also, note that RCBot only works on certain NS maps. Specifically, the 3.1 maps. They don't have updated grids (last time I checked) for the 3.2 maps. Although I think someone was doing some work on that. Search around for it.
Also, make sure you're using the Steam version of HL. NS3.2 doesn't work on the older versions. If you need to, register your HL copy on steam, then install NS on that copy.
Well you see i have NS 3.1 and i dont have metamod [nor do i know what it is >.<] my half life is a pirated one [downloaded from torrent] If i had a legel copy of Half Life with steam registered i wouldnt been asking the questions. Right now im playing with Whichbot against the aliens.NS mod is the most boring mode ever. you build, your enemy builds when you kill the alien when its near its spawn he attacks you as a skulk. but i gotta say over all it would have been fun to play Ns_metal with Rcbots :D but i still got the other problem which the Marine Bots try to knife skulks [already sayed in one of the front pages]
If I recall correctly, metamod is bundled with RCBot. But, I always got the most recent version from the metamod website to make sure it works.
Also, note that NS (even v3.1) doesn't mesh great with the out-of-date HL1, so that's probably where most of the problems are coming from.
Something else to note. RCBot bots are really, really stupid. They basically start with a blank slate for a brain and the mesh grid on the map so that they can walk around. Then, they try to survive and get points. If they do well (get lots of points) the algorithm chooses those AIs, plants it in the next spawned bots, and does this again. So, you'll be working with pretty dumb bots for several generations (like weeks when I tried it and then quit). There may be some people out there that can bootstrap your bots with more advanced AIs but I don't know where to find them and I've deleted mine.

Hey guys as someone who played ns1 so much and recently got into ns2 it's great! But I'm in Australia.. And there is hardly anyone ever playing..
So I've been playing with bots but they aren't that good.. Aliens don't evolve etc.. Is there anyway to get better bots? Like workshop? Or somehow get smarter Ai bots? Thanks!

yup. Yay neural networking + evolutionary algorithms.
