Re: Bots are gone again
VALVe brought out an update a month ago that removes all bots if there is no-one present.
After 10 seconds, I re-add them.
However it is conceivable that someone might join before the timer kicks in and bots don't show.

Re: Bots are gone again
OK. Tseeneth told me there were about 5 people in IV when it crashed kicking everyone. When it came back up there were no bots. So that must have been it. I think i remember reading something about that but i didn't pay enough attention i guess. Thanks Dog.

Re: Bots are gone again
not only were there no bots, but there were no environment effects either. It was weird because I was telling everyone how awesome it is to play with zombies. Some players had connected with no idea that server IV was the amazing Left4DoD mod. One such person switched to server IX and had a fun time for the next few hours. I can't remember when server IV came back up as Left4Dod but it wasn't down for very long, maybe an hour.
god, save me from your followers.

Re: Bots are gone again
tv4 is very sick.
The latest VALVe update killed the Windows version.
Trying to work through a few offsets as the server crashes once a player dies.

Re: Bots are gone again
maybe you should get a job at valve Dog and show them how to update stuff without breaking everything else.

Re: Bots are gone again
This time it's a SourceMod issue. Valve moved stuff around in their code and SourceMod hooks no longer work for creating entities (Windows only). In other works, drops cannot be created, nor can gas clouds, bombs etc without crashing the server.

Re: Bots are gone again
Screw that noise! Pardon the language but I feel very strongly on this. Dog working for Valve!? Are you out of your ever loving mind! They will take him off L4DOD and DOD:S all together! The game will die! Now if we could somehow stage a coup d'etat making him the owner and run the company, now we're talking!v.o.c wrote:maybe you should get a job at valve Dog and show them how to update stuff without breaking everything else.
Typical. Valve breaks all you hard work with one update. I don't know what use I could be but if you need help, Dog, let me know. I will do what I can.Dog wrote:This time it's a SourceMod issue.

Re: Bots are gone again
Dog, can you run both servers on Linux and avoid the Windows issues?

Re: Bots are gone again
Latest update for TF2 did that.
When they removed the bots listing in MvM, they also removed them for DoDS as well.
I just haven't updated TV9 yet, which is why they are still showing.
I'm tempted to take the non-updated files off TV9 and put them on TV4!

Re: Bots are gone again
Bots are gone on server IV... Anzio map...
And guess who are running the map anyway?
Hey guys... When you start into a party with no bots, just quit...
There is no need to run and cap 30 flags to see that bots aren't there...
You guys really sucks!

Re: Bots are gone again
Like I said, VALVe added this feature when the last person on the server leaves, the bots are removed.
I add them 10s later.
However, if someone leaves and returns within the 10s, then the bots won't reappear.
I'll look at the coding again.
To get them back, you just need to change maps.
