BotSpawn

Any sign of these options working again ? my server is a bloodbath with Radtown animals and bots slaughtering each other all over the map


"Animal_Safe": true,
"APC_Safe": true,
"Ignore_Animals": true,
"Ignore_HumanNPC": true,
"NPC_Retaliate": false,
"Peace_Keeper": false,

 

Animal_Safe is flat out broken but the rest should be working for murderers - not scientists.
Not ideal, I know.....

 

Have you same error if you set nav_grid to true ?

Code:

(10:37:43) | aimanager.nav_grid: "False"

 

Animals and scientist are not moving, how can i fix this. i tried everything

 

do you have these settings in your startup ?
+backup +nav_grid 1 +ai_dormant false +sqadmanager.squad_disable false

my bots are active and aggressive

 

EDIT!: Bots work if I make custom spawns, but the defaults no longer work.
I used to run this plugin with 220fps on my server, but now I have 20fps.. :/ logs still show no info and all default spawns are broken.


Hello everyone! I was recently playing on my server, it was working amazingly until I changed radiation to false, installed a new plugin (heli control) and walked off, by the time I returned to my freshly started server there were zero ai.. I did the bot.count command multiple times and still got 0 ai.
What I have tried:
Wiping map
Reinstalling addon and config
Disabling/uninstalling heli control mod
Trying launching BotSpawn without Heli Control (still 0 bots..)

My server log has zero changes regardless up until I do bot.count, my server fps (which is horrible right now as well)
However I do get this in my console

Code:

[BotSpawn] There are 0 bots.

I've tried everything, even with default configs (obviously enabling the spawns after getting a new config) etc, I get zero bots on my server, it was working perfectly fine before.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Robot standing still

 

BEFORE posting read previous posts, it might solve your problem

@osus pls I am running 57 plugins on my server and getting 250fps , only missing a few bots (for unknown reason) 137 still there out of 147 but the rest are running around, hiding when first shot then looking for attacker, i have heli control and i also use monument radiation and remove default radiation plugins , all work great, i use these settings (below) in my startup file for the server and have them all set as murderers now with kits and "names" for whatever they are guarding IE: NASA Police, Harbor Patrol etc,
+backup +nav_grid 1 +ai_dormant false +sqadmanager.squad_disable false

 

@pookins Where is the startup file for my server located? I bought my server from a hoster, Also What did you mean about remove default radiation plugins?

 

No worries buddy, I already spent 2 hours yesterday flipping through page by page, I either missed the one solution or found nothing.
Starting off, thank you very much for your reply, I must state your config is odd, very odd, (I only recently downloaded this addon and I don't even have some of the settings you do in my config.. (location wise) meaning entertainingly enough, it just means the defaults aren't properly generating on my map.. Therefore I need to just manually place them I am guessing for now, trying to run the server with all default locations disabled besides airdrop returns an fps of 100-200, consider this solved as I don't mind manually creating spawns. (i have a stable 85 bots on my server )

 

Loading mod I got this error:

What can i do to fix or does someone have a working file

 

delete

 

Are they somewhat broken right now? Accuracy down to 2 and damage down to 0.2 and yet they are still deadshots who just run down everyone.

 

Haven't checked but I can see why those would be broken.
They're both done at the take-damage stage - Nulled or scaled.

Anyone else?

Of course, BotSpawn wont affect any other NPCs that might be on your server.

 

The bots are still shooting the animals when i put "Ignore Animals" : true

 

I think that feature has been broken for some time now.

 

Murderers should respect the setting. Scientists will not.
The same is true for anything that is worked out when NPCs target something.

 

@osus pls . i dont understand why you are not getting all the monuments in your config file, i just deleted plugin and config (after saving it to text file) and then re installed the plugin again, I checked all the monuments and they are all the same as mine !

I deleted config created by plugin and reloaded mine then used rustadmin to reload plugin, all running well,
try deleting all files plugin/config/data (after copying your config changes into text doc) then reload plugin again and see how you go,

I changed all my bots to "murderers" (to enable functions) and they still look the same as they did before (human npc) they have the kit (inc weapons) assigned to them , the only difference is that deathnotes will say you killed a zombie when you shoot them but rust io map or RustAmin will show actual name assigned to them ., they shoot well, will sometimes follow you when attacked , they might take cover when attacked, so all going pretty well,
except of course that they are being killed (and are killing) by radtown animals , which include actual murderers, green zombies, wolves and bears, so quite a little war going on there mind you the other spawns are killing each other off too

 

@ju_kaizen
You will only be able to make start up file changes if you have ftp access on your server , if you are on Multiplay (and maybe Gameservers) you wont have access, If you do have ftp access go to your server "game services" page and open "commandline manager " (or equivalent) and go to edit and then enter the required text into the "custom commands" section then save it,
I am on Streamline servers so your setup might be different but if you have ftp access you should have a page where you edit and change settings. if in doubt open a ticket with your host and ask for help

 

Wait setting them to murderers doesnt change them to zombies? It keeps them as scientists?
