Can I create a tremulous server that I can add bots to??

You have to put it to your qvm i think. Then compile it. Say if im wrong.

Sounds about right. Kiwi already made one.

As I understand it, server does not read autogen.cfg

autogen.cfg is client-side only.

You need to create a local server so.
You can use the bots only with a specific qvm.
You should use the Invasion qvm with the MG Client.

Ok, I uploaded my qvm to here.  But its for linux os.  What operating system did you use?  I hope it works.  Let me know if it doesn't.

QVMs are OS independent

I didn't know that.  But now that I think about it, it does make sense.  Thanks, good to know.

It's interpreted bytecode. You can build (faster) binary libraries, which I typically do, but a QVM can be distributed.

Yeah, it makes sense.  Thanks!

Yeah, thanks, the qvm you uploaded fixed the turret damage and the spawning delay, but stuff still builds instantly. Maybe I just need to compile my own qvm.

Stuff still builds randomly sounds like marked deconen... aka ''e'' says when you build something new then decon this.  So add

Code Select Expand

set g_markDeconstruct 0
to your server.cfg

I had this same problem with the pbot qvm.

I keep getting "permission denied" when trying to add bots.  I use windows and do not know if the qvm that I am using for ambush bot is Linux or Windows or if that even makes a difference.  Anyone know.  I did put in the rcon password.

It could be that you didn't give yourself permission to add bots in you admin.dat.  Try:

Code Select Expand

/rcon [your rcon] !bot add bot aliens
If that works, then you need to add permissions in you admin.dat.  To do that you should open you admin.dat and add z to the line that corresponds with your level.  Here is a quick explanation of an admin.dat and some default flags.  You just need to add z to the levels you want to use !bot.

Now I get:  "Bad corpseNum on corpse entity: -1"  "RE- shutdown (0)" and throws me to the main menu.

I will take a look at your link below and see, in the meantime if you think of anything, it would be appreciated.

Now I am able to add the bots, finally, thanks to you Kiwi!  However, they do not do anything, just sit there.  In the ambush map I know the aliens are there because it shows up on the screen, but they must be hiding up in the area you cannot see.  So now....I thought they sort of ambushed you or attacked you.  I am using the qvm and cfg file which I believe took care of that?

Sorry for the pain...

Ok, to make the bots ''attack'' you, you need to add paths.  Theres a great guide on creating paths found here.  But you could always test it first, because they released the paths for atcs in that link too.  But then you could turn ambushed mode on.  Ambush mode uses the paths, but adds extra features, you should decide how far you would like to mod your server.  And its no pain at all 

BTW: I just realised that I use double single quotes instead of one double quote for ''attack''.  I've been playing tremulous too long
