Bots plugin for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch

[Botrix]

Hi all,

Botrix (BOT's matRIX) is a plugin for HL2DM & TF2, to play with bots. Download[www.famaf.unc.edu.ar].

Alternative download page: use this link[sourceforge.net]

Update: Valve's 20th anniversary update issues are now fixed (only Windows for now), thanks to armaturo.

Feel free to send me your comments here, or if something urgent comes up, please write to:
[e-mail].

Awesome features (check out changelog on my site for more info):
- auto generate waypoints for new maps! (check out 'botrix waypoint analyze toggle' command)
- bots now can open doors and use elevators !!!
- different models for bots (not only combine_soldier!)
- console commands auto-completion
- bunch of new console commands (player protection health / spawn-time, bot's default weapons, map analysis, etc)
- fixed several crashes and bugs

I also added some details for waypoint creation on my home page.

Fast install:
- Unzip contents of zip file into MOD folder, i.e.
<SteamDir>/SteamApps/common/Half-Life 2 Deathmatch/hl2mp
- Launch Half-Life 2 Deathmatch with -insecure parameter (In your steam games right click on Half-Life 2 Deathmatch -> Goto properties, click on Set Launch Options and type in -insecure -console; press Ok, start up the game and create a server). Insecure is not required for dedicated servers. Create new game, map dm_underpass.
- Type "botrix bot add" several times at the console to create bots.

Plugin's source code with needed steps for compilation is at https://github.com/borzh/botrix

Enjoy!

You need to set the beta of the game to "steam_legacy", which can be found by right clicking on the game, then clicking properties and betas.

good work

[Botrix]

Thanks!
Btw, there are people saying that plugin is not loaded on some private servers, although it is working on normal dedicated servers.
Anyone knows what can cause this?

[Botrix]

@rx-8 'AUT, some users confirmed to me that it doesn't work on certain linux distributions, for example an old CentOS. You need to compile it manually,
Follow steps at https://github.com/borzh/botrix
Let me know if you have more issues

[Botrix]

If anyone wants to try plugin without install, there is a dedicated server running TF2 (linux) with Botrix plugin: 108.61.107.20:27015
Need to clarify that plugin depends entirely of how waypoints are made. Waypoints creation for both HL2DM & TF2 are still in progress. If someone wants to contribute to the community, please don't be shy :D

[Botrix]

You need to open shell (terminal) and type:
sudo apt-get install git gcc-multilib ia32-libs cmake
git clone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013.git source- sdk-2013
git clone https://github.com/borzh/botrix botrix
mkdir botrix/build
cd botrix/build
cmake ..
make

Download botrix.zip from home page, unzip it to game directory (hl2mp).
After that, enter in your home directory, botrix/build and move libbotrix.so to hl2mp/addons.
Delete botrix.so and rename libbotrix.so to botrix.so.

Let me know if you could make it work.

[Botrix]

sudo apt-get install git
then
git clone...

If you don't want or can't install git, just download zip files from urls, uncompress them in the same folder and ignore git commands.

[Botrix]

Currently I am adding waypoints for standard HL2DM maps.
Let me know if someone wants waypoints for a particular map.
You can download latest waypoints here[github.com]

[Botrix]

Version 0.0.4 released.
* Fixed crash autocompleting commands (listen server).
* More waypoints added.
* New commands for bot handling (check changelog).

The bots are great, but they sometimes seem to point the gravity gun in wrong positions when they try move a prop out of the way and causes them to get stuck. Meanwhile, I got a dm_runoff.way file I made which I can upload later if you want.

[Botrix]

Thanks a lot. Yeah I am aware of some issues with objects on bot's way, still need to fix those issues.
Please send me waypoints you made to mail, I will upload them to github, so ppl could start to use them.
Right now I am investigating ways for implementing nav mesh instead of waypoints, this will help a lot avoiding objects on the bot's way. But this change is really huge, so really don't know when it will be finished.
First will make bots work on macos anyway.

[Jai "Choccy" Fox]

The update for the nav meshes sound real good. Hopefully, it won't make bots get stuck in every corner like HRC Bots. I'll mail the waypoints soon.

Yeah a big problem with HRC Bots.

Update: works on Mac OS X (compiled for Mavericks).

So, anybody checked this on Gmod maybe?
