Bots Are...inactive?

[aaronmaxey 0]

So I recently donated to lotus and I went to play on one of the servers I donated to (Turbine-Chicago) and the bots don't ever move from spawn, they shoot at enemies when the spawn doors are open but that's it.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Thanks for letting us know. Sure Mana can work his magic and get them off their lazy asses (I'll point him this way).

Bots on CTF don't really work. I had it working before, but one of valve's updates messed it up. I'll look into it and see if it's possible to fix.

They are "party" bots.

Maybe this? Although, CTF is not officially supported by Valve, not even in the training mode.

The navs are there.

I've noticed the same thing on your degroot keep server.

I've noticed the same thing on the Foundry Server. It seems a bit wide-spread.

Actually, one is moving and playing, others are having party in spawn room.

I've noticed this on all servers running Helltower. 1 bot will be active on each team while the rest sit in spawn and do nothing.

Are bots usually set up to work on event maps?

[LjubicaZubica 5,610]

Today in blu: 5 bots and 1 player

in red: 1 bot and 4 players

Player in blu was playing alone against 4 reds, since bots were sitting in spawn... Dunno, but I think they should play (?)

[Se7en 10,762]

I think they lack way points.

[JMaster299 654]

I think they lack way points.

Then why is it some bots work and others don't? If no bots worked I would understand that explanation, but on the Helltower map some of the bots will do something. I

Bot behavior is inconsistent across the servers. If one is a Medic it will definitely follow an active player out, otherwise it will stay in spawn and heal the inactives. In the random chance that an inactive decides to leave spawn the Medic will usually follow but it's hard to tell what prompts this.

Not sure if they're supposed to work on this map, but just had an admin call about inactive bots (they were sitting in spawn on both teams).

Both teams are moving when I joined just now.

I was on French Payload Race tonight and found 3 in spawn just sat there....when I fired my shotgun at them, no effect....but when I fired a rocket at their feet they started working...weird. They sat still for several minutes before I began firing at them.

Payload race is not officially supported by valve's bots. I added some support for Hightower but in the end it's just a hack and doesn't always work properly. It might also require a few people to be on the server before it activates.
