DoG-MeAt

<div class="IPBDescription">Anyone know where to get some?</div> I am sure that loads of people have asked this same question before but does anyone know where i can download some bots for NS? If this has been covered before can someone just give me a link....because i couldnt find any info on this or even better a link to some bots. Thnx

Yes, it was covered before, but I can't recall where or when, but I got a lead from some thread that I think was in the Newbie forum. Anyhow...
<a href='http://www.rcbot.net/' target='_blank'>RCBot</a>, a general bot for Half-Life mods. Can play both sides.
<a href='http://www.whichbot.com/' target='_blank'>WhichBot</a>, specializes in Aliens only.
I am sure there may be more, but those where the two that the one thread pointed to.
I have yet to figure out how to get them to actually work. I wanted them on my own server so I could have something to play against while learning the game, but when I type in the command to launch them I get a message saying it isn't a valid Half-Life command.

Thnx....i installed RCbot and it worked fine it just the AI doesnt seem to work very well...maybe its NS v2.01 but they keep falling off edges. I didnt use the commands in the console i used the - key (near to backspace) this gives you a little command thing that allows you to add and remove bots. Also make sure that you put the folder of RCbot into the same one where hl.exe is. You can only play the bots on a LAN game (go to internet, Lan game then create one). Ill check out whichbot...but i am usually an alien so it wont be much use to me. I downloaded my RCbot off of Fileplanet (gamespy) maybe your version is old or something. Anyways thnx for the help.

BTW i downloaded rocketcrowbot....i think thats RC bot i am guessing.

It looks like Rocket Crowbot may be a different bot from RCBot, based on version numbers.
I got RC Bot and WhichBot both working fine now myself. I wasn't using RCBot addbot command, just addbot...

yeah
basically thats what happens, from what i heard rcbot uses the world map to drive its bots anywere it wants there is no waypoint system (unless u get them) for the bot to follow therefore the only instructions it gets are marine : build grab ammo and attack
alein : attack , rarley build, morph
thats all

RCBot is an abbreviation <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Just download the latest 1.1 version, I think you've both got the old version or something, (from fileplanet... I think someone just uploaded one ages ago, it's quite an old one on fileplanet)
<a href='http://www.rcbot.net' target='_blank'>http://www.rcbot.net</a> btw

I recommened using whichbot with rcbot, and put rcbots on marines, whichbots on aliens if you want by using the latest rcbot 1.1 metamod dlls. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo-->
