@Bitiregou @Pedro Can't confirm, all things mentioned work for me on Linux. Try unsubscribe/resubscribe and make sure you use custom lobby with localhost server

NVM, I have no problem with this at all since I only played with this last year a couple times. Good to see its being maintained well and looking forward to see it getting better

@Yggdrasil, I didn't say he was playing with another script. I said he needs to check for any files from other scripts that are not supposed to be merged with mine, which would, in your words, "indirectly make them too cautious". I have had people do this in the past which is why I troubleshooting it this way now.

@Big Booty Latina

He is apparently playing your script since only your script would say the words like Let's kill Tormentor.

You may not changed anything about it directly intentionally, but there can be many places affecting the bots behavior that made them too cautious about the environment thus act like what that dude was saying
ms  [author] Mar 24 @ 8:57am 
I haven’t changed anything recently in regards to the behaviors you are talking about so I don’t know where the issue lies. If you’re playing with the bot installed in your local directory make sure you don’t have files from any other bots in there.

I don't know what happened but the ally bots became so dumb. They can't decide what to do. Pushing top > walk top then > Pushing mid > walk mid > Let's go kill Tormentor > walk again > Can't kill it because they are too weak > Walk and feed because they have low health. They keep wasting time. I could wipe out entire enemy team in other side of the map while they push and they can't beat Tier 3s. Sometimes they don't right click towers. They just say 3 heroes missing then walk back while entire enemy team is dead.

I've played this script for years and prefer when the bots would push on their own. Now, they don't even defend Tier 2 tower unless you ping even if entire enemy team is attacking.

Before, old bots can end the game because the offlane would split push and hit throne. Now, I can't even win below 20 mins with zoo heroes because the enemy is too good and will all TP to defend/smoke while allies are useless and won't join or have no farm because they keep walking.

@Dhomochevsky, my bots do not play Keeper of the Light. You're using another script that's not mine.

@Keibl, Until Valve decides they want to continue bot support and install my script on their dedicated servers, your computer is the host of the server, which means you take on the load of bot code. I recommend setting your graphics to the lowest settings and if it's still an issue then commenting out summon heroes that produce a large amount of units (i.e. Phantom Lancer, Broodmother, etc.).
Dhomochevsky Mar 21 @ 5:17pm 
why enemy bots are so clever but bots on your team are so GODAMN DUMB!?

ps: i dont want to have and advantage, i just want a fair play. e.g.: enemy bots always get the best gear of his hero but team bots buy the dumbest stuff, some times they dont even complete the item they are crafting even if they have the money for...

ps2: can you fix somehow keeper of the light teleporting you on the randomest times?
Keibl Mar 7 @ 2:38pm 
I have a strong fps drop with these bots, especially towards the middle and end of the match. How can I fix this?
Reara Feb 26 @ 12:21pm 
Я люблю тебя, бро :cure: Спасибо за интересных ботов!
ms  [author] Feb 22 @ 7:39pm 
I didn't make that happen. 7.38 made it to where bots use the last facet of every hero by default as opposed to the first one, so a lot of changes were needed.
Ilia Kontrolnaya Feb 22 @ 5:09am 
How you changed that Ringmaster use right facet, i heard from other bot developers that valve doesn't share API to do that
Me_Meow_Rise Feb 19 @ 6:19pm 
as someone who only play against bot since Dota 1, this is the best bots available!
Pablo Discobar Feb 19 @ 1:27am 
Still the sexiest bot/script out there. Great work.

Additional game modes are not a priority right now, unfortunately

Best! Thank you!

If you want to play on both Radiant and Dire here is a script for that: https://gist.github.com/tmakij/2eec26bf5314c136c1008dc91e31c227

Add it to the bots folder and replace the previous file.
It is inspired by the previous bot role selection CM mode posted here previously.

It works by taking the pick order when deciding the role. The first to pick gets safe support, then off support, off core, mid, safe core.
It appears to work for multiple players (well at least for two).

Hopefully the mod author is fine with me posting this here.
milkandciggies Jan 4 @ 8:08am 
anyway to ban certain hero picks ?
Pablo Discobar Jan 4 @ 1:29am 
OH man, BIG thanks for taking out gyro from support roles! Hahahaha
ms  [author] Nov 4, 2024 @ 4:58pm 
Nope, but I am much more active in the Discord

Is development on these bots done?
Mr. BrightSide Oct 22, 2024 @ 8:49am 
update please

Here is the github link for captain's mode.
https://github.com/icydevelopment/PhalanxBot-CM

I only share it to assist people and it is a simple addition to hero_selection file. If the author requests, I can remove it from here.
hongln Oct 17, 2024 @ 3:20am 
@actias can you share it to me?
Volatile Oct 15, 2024 @ 1:35pm 
At least I am interested in the dire position fix. This is really annoying when playing versus.
actias Oct 15, 2024 @ 5:52am 
I have added captain's mode by modifying hero_selection, both sides have to have human captains though. It now also allows to take desired position in dire since bots now use picks order for laning instead of player IDs. If the author approves, I can share the file.
actias Sep 28, 2024 @ 12:28am 
Thank you for the bot and maintaining it. One question, my friends and I are very interested in captains mode. If we choose the heroes and choose only the heroes the bots can play, would it work? Do we have list of bots that are currently working and not broken? Thanks!
Pittman Sep 7, 2024 @ 4:07am 
Anti-mage has been bugged for quite a few versions. Every time the bot levels up to about level 6 and then it's nowhere to be found. Likely stuck at the base
hongln Aug 31, 2024 @ 6:06am 
@juko thx

@hongln Near the top of hero_selection.lua. Bot names are constructed from prefix, bn, and suffix.
hongln Aug 27, 2024 @ 11:18pm 
how can i change thr names of bots?
تفوح منه رائحة عف Aug 27, 2024 @ 6:05pm 
excuse me but I have to say, your bots just never stick together and push, no matter how many enemies died. Even 5 enemies all died, they just spread out.
ms  [author] Jul 24, 2024 @ 5:59am 
Just move yourself to spectator and start the game

How to create a game where bots play against bots? I can't add bots to the free slots, but I need bots to play against bots.
Richard? Jul 22, 2024 @ 12:46am 
Is it just me or the (enemy)bot suddenly much more difficult ?:steamfacepalm:
potato <(=o=<) Jul 10, 2024 @ 1:58am 
@Pablo, yeah. I experience that too, and do the same to manage with the issue xD
@Manslaughter, love this bot script you made brother.
ms  [author] Jul 3, 2024 @ 1:56pm 
You need to play all pick
Eternal Night Jul 3, 2024 @ 11:13am 
Bots do not purchase items at all. I have no idea what causes this, sometimes they buy, sometimes they dont buy at all.
Pablo Discobar Jul 3, 2024 @ 6:22am 
Love the XD chatter when a teamfight goes sideways hahahaha
Pablo Discobar Jun 27, 2024 @ 12:51am 
Alright then, I see now. It's fine really!
ms  [author] Jun 25, 2024 @ 5:57am 
@Pablo, this is a valve bug in general and it happens in pubs as well
