Thank you for
downloading RealBot Version 1.0! Frequenly
Asked Questions I always wondered if you
could tell a bit more about yourself? Why
can't i get any Bot Menu? bind
"=" "botmenu" If
that still does not work, i.e. you get an "unknown command" error. You
did not install RealBot properly! A
second answer: Bots will learn where they got stuck. Maps that have just been
mapped, will need some time for the bots to learn them. After a few rounds, you
will notice the bots are acting smarter. On some locations there could be some
bots getting stuck.

My name is Stefan Hendriks. I live in Holland, nearby Amsterdam. I like
programming, it has always been a great hobby. In fact, i don't even play that
much games as many people think. I rather program games. If you like to view
some of them, you can either mail me or visit the following 2 links:

At the moment i'm still searching for a job, and for a relevant study. The
current studies do not provide enough interest to me at the moment. I have a few
hobby's , playing piano and doing some sports. And yes, i have a girlfriend :)
Her nick is "Yoko" so if you ever wondered what that name was in some
news posts.. now you do.
Will you do any bot for other mods?
Only if i'm interested enough. At the moment, i think RealBot is just the
only project i will work on in the coming weeks/months.
What is the difference between RealBot and <fill any other bot name here>?
The only real difference i can tell, is that RealBot is capable to learn almost
any aspect of the game. Like camping, tactics, teamwork, looking, walking etc.
Ofcourse, all bots are differend in the way they are programmed. Even if you let
2 people create a bot with excactly the same features, you will see that there
is always a difference.
Are you sure you pressed the = key? And if so, are you sure that the key is not
bound to an other action yet? You can try binding it again by typing this into
the console:
I just let the installer do everything for me and it still doesnt work!
The installer will find your main folder automaticly, if you did not change
anything and it still does not work then either you did not install Half-Life
properly. Or you did not re-install Half-Life (in case your computer got Windows
re-installed, the registry will be reset and thus the Half-Life folder cannot be
read from it). You can install RealBot properly by specifying your Half-Life
folder manually. Be sure its the main folder and not a sub folder! A correct
folder could be:
<anydrive>:\Sierra\Half-Life\
Or, in case you have the Counter-Strike Retail version. It could be:
<anydrive>:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\
Your bots get stuck at some places, how come?
The navigation of this version is quite new. To keep it short, i tried to put to
much features in to little time. This brings some bugs along with the release.
The next version should have a smooth navigation , as i will totally just
concentrate on the navigation and on bug fixes. I hope to give you much smarter
moving bots in the coming version.
How do i set the skill of a bot?
You can do this by:
1. Using the console command to set a default skill
2. Using the console command to force skills
3. Adding a bot specifying a skill
In case you want to add a bot, you can use the Bot Menu. If you want to do it
via the Botmanu, click here. Else read on: Using the
console commands you simply type the rb_addbot command. You can read the foll
syntax at the Listen Server Console Commands.
If you would like to set the default skill before adding bots, you can use the
rb_skill command. If you want to change the bots skill in game ,you should use
rb_forceskill. For more console commands information, you should read the Listen
Server Console Commands.
Does RealBot work with BotMixer5000?
Yes. It has been tested with other bots using BotMixer5000 and ran without any
problems.
RealBot worked, but suddendly i get Unknown Command errors! Help!
This problem is most of the time caused by updating or re-installing
Counter-Strike. The liblist.gam file gets overwritten. This file tells the
engine what dll to load. Since RealBot is the DLL that should be called , it
doesnt get called at all and thus only the real mod will. To fix this, you can
change the liblist.gam file with a normal text editor (i.e. Notepad). Search for
the line:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
Change it into:
gamedll "realbot\dll\realbot.dll"
Save the file, and RealBot should work again.
Why did you change the H key into the = key? / I want to change the = Key
into the H key again!
Possible. Edit the bot.cfg file and look for the last line. Change the = into
any key you like. You will need to rebind the = key to the action you had
before. This can be done in CS itself using the Controls menu.
Should i send you any map files i made for the bots?
No, at the moment the navigation is still in development. Probably in later
versions you need to redo these files. As soon as the navigation is more stable
and big changes are no more, i will mention it on my website and at this readme.
Can i play on the internet while having RealBot installed?
Yes. There will be no problems when playing on the internet. In fact, you can
even create your own internet server using Bots (if you want to).
Why is my question not here?
Probably because this new version will bring up more questions i can think of.
