OMG!!!!! WHEN IS UPDATE

Also, I don't have much of an interest at keeping my TF2 server up, since I don't play much no more. But I still have the server files, I just need to update them to the latest version of the game, and I'm sure I'll need to do some bot nav updating on any new maps.

I'm sure whenever I get an interest on doing that again, I'll let you know. I host the server on my own, and I gotta deal with whatever service Spectrum provides me. So it may be laggy, but I'll be sure to let you know if the server props up again!

Thanks for enjoying the bots as much as I.

Hey bud, surprised to see any activity here. But I agree, TF2 probably has the best bot experience, since they're so good and mimicing casual play in TF2. CS:S is probably right next to then and L4D1 bots, I feel that L4D2 bots were a bit nerfed. At times they would kind of derp and not help out other survivors, when they were pinned by zombies, as opposed to the first game bots.

I'm more into watching bot behavior in GTA games, or more of Rockstar's games. Also enjoy playing and trying to behave as a bot at times.

Damn.. memories. All the way in 2016? That's just amazing.

This server is what got me into TF2 bots. I've been slowly learning how they function, either with the nav_meshes or their actual coding. I've learned so much since then, and it's expanded to L4D2 and CS:GO's bot systems as well.

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for all of the good times I had. Granted, even if a lot of it was spent spectating these mindless creatures, I enjoyed every moment I had. <3

@It's Berts Birthday Today

Thank you so much, man! I'm sorry work has been tiring you out, but I appreciate the thought of you keeping it up to date! Means a lot for someone like me who enjoys bots! ^^

It also seems like some more people are interested! Believe me, I'll try my hardest to bring lots of people to this server! ^^

I find this server amazing

very nice group i like it

@Salakirby
Oh, it looks like I have an older verion of botnames.txt file on my server. Woops.

Also, you probably are the only one interested in the server. I don't have a whole lot of interest in TF2 as of late, but I do try to keep up with it to keep the server going. As of late, I've been tired from work and not really wanting to much.

But since there is someone who wants to play on it, that does encourage me to keep the server up to date so it can be playable.

Noticed there was a TF2 update a few days ago, so the server is probably out dated. I will go through and update the server and files tomorrow after work.

I've noticed after I assume a new update for the server, most of the names I suggested never appeared! They appeared before, but they suddenly went away? What happened there?

Also, I feel like I'm the only one actively interested in this server ;W;

♥♥♥♥ it, why not.

Heyyyyy! I've been playing in the server for a while, and I thought up TONS of new names we could add for the bots, that me and my friends figured out! It would be awesome if you could add them! >w< Here they all are!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the server is rip, I need to fix that lol.

@Salakirby
Doubtful, the plugin I'm using is a couple years old and it's outdated. The author no longer wants to work on his things, so the plugin does not obtain item data properly anymore. It's using an old method that the game no longer uses... well it still uses it, just slighty different from what the plugin is expecting. I'm not a coding savant so I can't go in there and fix it up my self, so I've been doing my best dealing with it and riding the plugin as long as I can.

I have a quick question. Previously in this server, I remember when it used to display weapon skins correctly for bots. But now, they look like regular weapons, but they have names on skins, and when you pick them up they look normal and you can't inspect it! Is there a way to bring the skins back?

@Salakirby
Yeah I know, sorry about that. My host has been slow as of late at creating update packages for my server. They seem to finally get it updated just a few days before TF2 gets a new update.
At the moment, not much I can do. But I have been trying to see why it has been taking longer and longer to get it updated.
Sorry about that, again.

I tried to join, but it says it runs an older version! D:

@★UP | sgt ghostface
I supose they could, if I went through the effort to see if they understood the game mode. But I enjoy them playing the base game (koth, pl, ctf, ect.).

@custo
oh i see.....well is the bots avable to play in zombie fortress maps?

@sgt ghostface (zipthered)
I don't understand, I don't run an MvM server.

can you make bots for MVM maps?

I highly doubt this will actually happen, but could you add Salabot into the bot names list? X3

@|Gent| Cake Made Of Creamy Sand
TF2 updated, and Metamod:Source was outdated.

Custo what happened to the bots!? They lost the hats, they can't speak anymore, They are just regular bots!

Hey! I just joined the server yesterday, and I love it so much! Playing with bots is fun, playing with bots with hats and weapons is fun, and they even say stuff! (Sometimes multiple times in a row! XD)

I wanted to ask, what Plugin did you use to give the bots names, hats, weapons and such? I'd love to use it!

@AlternatePancake
You really can't take control of the bots, you can only respawn in their place as the class they were playing as and with the health they had.
If your medic key is still bound to E, it would be that key to respawn in their place. Do make sure you're spectating a bot on your team, and make sure it is a bot. You cannot spawn in place of players.
To make sure they're bots, check the scoreboard(TAB) and look at the ping. If it says BOT, then they're a bot. Any number means that they are players.

I don't think it's possible to take control of bots anymore.

@-mlp_flutterz.wav
Where on the map?

pl_badwater_basin: blue bots get stuck on scale in forward spawn.

@Oathkeeeper KK|GU
It's with the map. I do notice the same problem on some other maps as well. If the cart is stopped either before or at the cap, bots may just idle in spawn. This seems to be a problem in maps that have changing spawn locations (doesn't apply if the round ends to change spawn room). I don't really know of a fix, other than Valve fixing up their bots to not bug out in those scenarios. I have reported it to them, but I doubt they care about tf_bot anymore.

having a simiar problem with pl_frontier_fianl bots wont come out of spawn second to last spawn my friend and i wer playing late nite tf2 and we were getting rolled and it wasnt pretty

@KR0NNER
Nothing I can do about that, something with the map its self. If you stop the cart after the second point is capped, the bots will not leave the second spawn room. If you let them push it to at least the third point (without capping it), they won't bug out.

pl_frontier_final the blue bots wont come out of spawn near secound capture area

Lmao RT xD

The ♥♥♥♥?

What if bots are the ghost of dead video gamers that vALVE is harvesting to create their ultimate Bot Ai?

sd_doomsday isn't on the rotation, because the bots don't understand the gamemode.
Also, each time TF2 updates, it ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the mapcycle file so sometimes after an update the server will go to maps that don't work with bots.

Reporting a glitch on sd_doomsday, the bots do not move out of spawn.

boom

I like the group picture.

i can't believe i didn't join this before :s my bad
