I keep getting an AAS not initialized error while trying to add bots in to my game. If any one could enlighten me on how to fix this it would be very appreciated.

bot navigation file missing. The map you were trying doesnt have the file.
Try
Ridyah
Turnpike
Uptown
Abbey (and ctf version)
Austria
Prague
Ramelle
Casa (but its unstable)

There is more but i cant give linkys to the page you can find all. Read thread about adding bots.

Also someone made more these navigation files.

In alpha you can also try Urban Horror and Company.

Some maps might have bot support but they are not finished so bots stand still in the spawn.

You should play FFA if possible since in many maps bots may got stuck in the spawn.

thanks for the help, but I must ask is is posibal to add in a bot navigation file to a map?

[thewonderboy]

yes but i dont think that you know how to make one. I dont but never even wanted to search.

If you have guided some bots that use nodes, i think it doesnt work so in urt like that. Well partly.

I understood that you set point in the map. Those points are interesting for bots. They got curious and travell there. You can make a working network (net or that what spiders does...) of those points.

So map is full of them and bots find many places very interesting and start exploring.

But i do think there is some extra rules and some complications.

But there you have something to think.

Bots won't compile on all maps so if there is no AAS file then the compiler couldn't compile them. The bots don't understand spawn doors. We stopped supporting bots years ago. We left the code in at the communities request but with the caveate that they do not work very well and we do not support them.

Quite right, they don't understand spawn doors but theres and VERY easy work around and thats to place a bot roam entity with a value of about 200-300 inside the trigger which opens the door, they work 200% fine in cambridge, to prove my point is valid I did an entity compile with other maps to see if it wasn't just my 1 map and 9 times out of 10 it worked, else you had to direct the bot to the door with more bot roam entities.
The same thing with the flag in CAH and CTF. bots in nearly all maps will just run to the bot roam entity and wont realise they have captured flag.

Thanks for the tip, Delirium. I'll give that a try on the map I'm working on, atm.

This is very encouraging - to those of us who like the bots.

I can also confirm this works, it was proposed as a solution a while ago by Ronald Lee to fix uptown... except I think he suggested putting attractors outside the spawn door. Also Valkover did something similar in coldwar, I think.
