<div class="IPBDescription">because today is going to be very long</div> Hello all, I am new here on these forums, so a Quick hi to you all.
Basically I run a Lan gaming shop in Spain, we have a few (34) pc's and tonight I will be busy installing Natural Selection 2 across the Lan.
I have the Server setup already and im in the process of bedding it down as I write..
At some point today hopefully V2 of Natural Selection will be launched and I have the unenviable task of installing it 34 times, not too mention BF1942 needs deleting and reinstalling 34 times as well..
anyway, like all of us I am sure we are all eagerly awaiting the client release, but I do have a question regarding whichbot.
Does the current version support V2?
I would like to install a dedicated server on the lan with bots, 2 reasons, 1) the shop is sometimes three quarters empty and 2) I am sure 80% of the people on the shop will be new to NS so bots will be an ideal training ground for them, I will also setup a seperate dedicated non bot NS server, but again another question.
Does NS support Metamod? will HL ping booster pulg in for metamod be able to be used for NS v2?
I have a few more questions, if I edit the text files in NS on the server, will be clients text boxes also show the changes or will I need to edit all the clients text files? reason for this is I am tempted to edit the on screen messages into Spanish so as to enable the newer players to more easily get into the swing of the game.
Has anyone done this? would the creators of NS be interested in a copy of the edited text files for distribution to other spanish users?
Other than that, thats all, NS is a great game, I have played it online for a good year or so (ever since v1.0) and now V2 is here I decided to install it across the Lan so some fresh people can join the ranks of converts.
so long, and have a great day, as I am sure I will, albeit a very very long one, (ps. I start installing the client at 12 midnight as its the only time I can access all the pc's without interuption).

Anyways, I don't really have any answers to your questions, but I don't believe you'll need to translate anything. Awhile back, they were looking for translators of the various languages to translate stuff. So I don't think you'll have to worry about anyone not understanding English.
I am not sure if whichbot is 2.0 ready, but I am pretty sure that RCBot is (since I saw pics with the target name [RCBOT])

Those shots were very old! VERY (over 1 year old actually) ... like pre 1.0

I thought RCBot was created for NS 3 or so days after NS1.0 came out.... also I believe I saw a HLTV minimap in that picture.
But, whatever, there should be no reason for the bots not working. They might be using 1.0x tactics though. Marine comm probably will not work with the bots though.... I have no idea!
It occurred to me as Flayra was installing NS on the 30 or so adrenzone PC's that I need to add a to-do to my lists for later: an automated install for NS so that people who run manage multiple PC's can quickly do upgrades. Probably with a simple response file. I will look into this later admins...
