Turn any map into a bot map: Bot map maker / script writer

[Yarik]

What do code do you have set for the "write script" button?
are you using an editor for the menu? or are you doing it all by hand?

Wow those pics are outstanding. This was unimaginable when we first started out with mohaa, way to lead the way man.

This is a menu and script system Yarik . It does not actually write the whole script just the bot stuff needed to make the map a bot map . When you use the writescript button it prints to the log file the stuff you have added to the map .Here is a sample of the output to the log

//<------------------ Bot pathnode writeout---------------------->
//<------------------ Spawn menu writeout------------------------>
level.obj_model[0] = spawn script_origin

[hogleg]

That is way cool bdb...nice job
I suppose you'll keep us updated.

[jv_map]

I would love to help test bdb

btw nice pic hogleg

[bdbodger]

Ok I am just testing the output some more to make sure it is right then it will be ready for testing

[bdbodger]

Well beta testing has started will let you all know how it goes .

[hogleg]

I hope you write a good idiot proof readme.txt !

I think its better for someone else to write it, beta tester cause the
designer knows it to well.

[bdbodger]

I hate writeing docs but I have a sample for you . You see there is a write script button and a save script button . The write script button outputs a script that you paste into the level scirpt at the top tha looks like this

//<------------------------------------------------------------->
level.obj_model[43] = spawn info_pathnode
level.obj_model[43].targetname = bombcamp
level.obj_model[43].origin = ( 3611.004 -492.440 -312.322 )
level.obj_model[43].angles = ( 0.000 0.000 0.000 )
level.obj_model[43].target = scriptorg_44
level.obj_model[43].set = 2
level.obj_model[43].route = "myroute"
level.obj_model[43].noaxis = 0
level.obj_model[43].noallies = 0
//<------------------------------------------------------------->
level.obj_model[44] = spawn script_origin
level.obj_model[44].targetname = scriptorg_44
level.obj_model[44].origin = ( 3611.004 -421.440 -274.322 )
level.obj_model[44].angles = ( 0.000 0.000 0.000 )
level.obj_model[44].set = 0
//<------------------------------------------------------------->

but the out put of the save script looks like this

//<------------------------------------------------------------->
level.obj_model[43] = spawn script_model model models/fx/bdb_bombcampnode.tik spawnflags 1
level.obj_model[43].targetname = bombcamp
level.obj_model[43].origin = ( 3611.004 -492.440 -312.322 )
level.obj_model[43].angles = ( 0.000 0.000 0.000 )
level.obj_model[43].target = scriptorg_44
level.obj_model[43].set = 2
level.obj_model[43].route = "myroute"
level.obj_model[43].noaxis = 0
level.obj_model[43].noallies = 0
level.obj_model[43].type = bombcamp
level.obj_model[43].menu_item = bomb_camp
//<------------------------------------------------------------->
level.obj_model[44] = spawn script_model model models/fx/bdb_scriptorigin.tik spawnflags 1
level.obj_model[44].targetname = scriptorg_44
level.obj_model[44].origin = ( 3611.004 -421.440 -274.322 )
level.obj_model[44].angles = ( 0.000 0.000 0.000 )
level.obj_model[44].set = 0
level.obj_model[44].type = scriptorigin
level.obj_model[44].menu_item = script_origin
//<------------------------------------------------------------->

You see the save script repawns the temp models so you can edit it and move them around again you can't move spawned pathnodes . As I said there is a premade save script for The hunt that you can look at to see how some of it is done .

[nuggets]

great work!!!, i'd of said so earlier but don't look in bragging a lot, something like this should be in every forum

[Jack Ruby]

Superb work, its very cool when people amaze you with their talent.

Superb work, its very cool when people amaze you with their talent.

I aggree fully

[bdbodger]

Well it is ready to go . I think every thing works ok any problems let me know and have fun with it . I have included a sample for you to get started . The sample is for the hunt . The zip has 4 files in it 3 for the sample .

obj_team1.scr
obj_team1_bot.scr
obj_team1_save.scr
user_Bdboger_botmapper.pk3

the obj_team1.scr is set up so that if you start it with the other 2 files in the
obj directory it will run the obj_team1_save.scr and the botmapper.scr . Read the readme on how to setup the menu by binding it to a key or you can launch it from the console either way you need to execute the script for it to work .

//waitexec maps/obj/obj_team1_bot.scr

waitexec maps/obj/obj_team1_save.scr

exec global/Botsmapper.scr

uncomment the first line to play the test map and comment out the other two lines . This works for 1 round only read the readme to see why . If you edit the map and add pathnodes don't forget to delete the .pth file before you run it again . You can download it Here

Thank you, bdbodger. You are saving me a lot of work. Now I can try bots on Bloody Ridge.
