JK Botti: Bots for HLDM and Multiplayer Mods

Author: Jussi Kivilinna
Version: 1.42
Bots for HLDM and multiplayer mods, implemented as a Metamod plugin.



Goals:

• Lower CPU usage compared to other HLDM bots
  
• Be a more interesting opponent than other bots:
  
• More human-like aiming: loses its aim if
• the bot is moving
  
• More random movement, jumping and improved strafing
  
• Hears players' footsteps and weapon fire
  
• Be bots for dedicated servers only:
  
• Interfaces for client-side listen servers have been removed
  
• Automatic waypoint (navigation point) generation
  

Confirmed supported mods:

• HLDM
  
• Adernaline Gamer
  
• Severian's
  
• Bubblemod
  
• Opposing Force
  

Credits:

• Based on HPB bot 4.0 by botman.
  
• Uses the BotAim aiming code by Pierre-Marie Baty.
  
• Uses code from GraveBot by Caleb 'Ghoul' Delnay (target selection, LJ jumps).
  

Installation:

1. Extract the archive into the /addons/ folder (you should end up with, for example, valve/addons/jk_botti). In the addons/metamod/plugins.ini file
2. add the line: For Windows:
   win32 addons/jk_botti/dlls/jk_botti_mm.dll
   For Linux:
   linux addons/jk_botti/dlls/jk_botti_mm_i386.so
   
   
3. Edit the addons/jk_botti/jk_botti.cfg file:
   
4. Delete the lines
   addbot "" "" 1
   addbot "" "" 2
   addbot "" "" 3
   addbot "" "" 4
   addbot "" "" 5
   
   
5. Replace
   #min_bots 2
   #max_bots 6
   with
   
   min_bots 2
   max_bots 6
   2 is the minimum number of bots, 6 is the maximum
   
6. Set the bot skill (1 is the highest, 5 the lowest) in the line:
   
   botskill 3
   
   

Note:
These bots don't work with DEP (Data Execution Prevention) turned on. So you need to either add the server to the DEP exceptions or turn DEP off.
