Also, used code parts from jk_botti, bsdiconv and nwreckdum.
very nice...love this bots since it's hey days.
oh man it crashes after a few minutes randomly...guess it's either my hl-op4 files and metamod are outdated.
tried it on xash3d ...it still crashes.

Now I'm getting this error...
invalid message: cannot use broadcast message a target entity
I'm using hl + op4 steam, it's a legit copy fully updated.
I'm on WIN10. parabot-mm and jk_botti works fine but i need your version since it supports ctf op4.
same deal on running AG mod i get the invalid message error using hl steam.
op4 ctf runs a little on xash3d but it does randomly crash eventually.
running all my test on a listenserver btw.
Try disable botchat. Seems bug with it.
I tested parabot with xash3d fwgs only.
But mittorn fixed troubles with invalid messages on engine side.
Cool! ...it works. Tnx for the tip.
One comment though...after running around the map to make nav/wpt files and bots seems to use them well but the bots don't cap the flag or atleast goes near it...is there no AI yet to capture flag?
Only in AG and it works bad while. Also, parabot will create waypoints for team with live player only.
Ah yeah seems bots do cap the flag on AG quite well.
Hope you'll soon make the bot cap as well on op4 ctf.
Awesome bot project btw super tnx!
Is there going to be a fix for botchat error, cause this may sound stupid :D, but i like the bots when they're chatting. Thanks
It crashes to desktop without any error messages when I load a map in Deathmatch Classic, any ideas why?
If it crashes with steam HL:
1. Use metamod on windows.
2. Disable botchat.
Or use Xash3D FWGS instead of steam HL.
How to install?
My game crashes with these arguments:
Fatal Error
Invalid message; cannot use broadcast message with a target entity
Disable botchat in parabot.cfg.
It doesn't work with "They Hunger: Trilogy crossplatform v1.0.5" mod on Xash3D engine v4312. It crashes with message "MOD Dll not found (or unsupported MOD)!".
Ну рассказывай, что делал? Под Xash3D FWGS бот работает?
Под FWGS не пробовал. Мне нужно под чистый Xash3D.
Хотя в ХЛ, в ОФ и в ДМЦ эти же боты работают замечательно.
Только что проверил на версиях 4281, 4260, 4150 и 3887.
Везде одно и то же - "MOD Dll not found (or unsupported MOD)!"
awesome, love the bots. Add somethin' playable with Zombie Panic. It will be more awesome!!
Oh man.... it crashes a lot, mostly freezing after 2-5 minutes gameplay in both HL/OP4 deathmatch/teamplay.
Already disabled Botchat, Is there a fix for this?
I own Valve Complete on Steam.
Try to use metamod.
Also, I do not know why It crashes under steam, you can try to use Xash3D FWGS if nothing else helps.
Bots attack team members. Any way to change that?
AFAIR such behavior was disabled at all.
How can i disable botchat ?
В файле Readme.txt к этим ботам, я увидел что они поддерживают мод HolyWars 2.0, это так? (на Xash3D?)
Новые открытия каждый день.
Этот мод даже HPB поддерживает.
Can you tell ua how to set up characters in the characters.cfg file?
how do i add the bots
Thank you for these awesome bots, its the only one which works with Deathmatch Classic and can play custom maps thanks to dynamic waypoint building! =D
Why the archive don't have configuration files?
How do I spawn the bots????

My game crashes, I do everything according to Readme.txt. In liblist.gam I replace gamedll "dlls/hl.dll" with gamedll "addons/parabot/dlls/parabot.dll". I'm doing the latest version on OpenAG. I have Windows 64-bit system.
Can i use it whith windows 11?

Cannot get Parabot to work in any way I try nowadays (haven't been able to since 2009). The 25th anniversary update probably didn't help! :D It was the most entertaining bot out there, on par with UT99. The way Parabot learnt maps on its own is still pure witch craft! I remember the pain of creating waypoints for Jumbot, just to make them... Move. And here comes Parabot, doing parkour after just 10-15 minutes on a map. :)
