What are the exact steps to add bot support to a map? I've got that ctf_greatwall_rev2 map and the bots just don't want to take the flag.

I'm using bspc version 2.1h and gtkradiant release 95 (recent 1.5.0 pre-release).

Could it be that the bots don't know how to cross the "great wall"?

I'm creating the bsp file using q3map2, and then run bspc on it by entering

bspc -bsp2aas ctf_greatwall_rev2.bsp

There's an in-game waypoint editor that is what is used to make sure the bots know where to go, but I don't know the specifics of it off the top of my head.

Nexuiz bots need waypoints to navigate the maps.
You can create waypoints fairly easy ingame:
create a new file Nexuiz/data/autoexec.cfg and copy the following lines in there:

Code: Select all

bind i g_waypointeditor_spawn
bind o g_waypointeditor_remove
bind l g_waypointeditor_relinkall
bind k g_waypointeditor_saveall

Now start Nexuiz and load the map. Open the console (shift+esc) and enter

Code: Select all

g_waypointeditor 1

Just run around and press "i" to add waypoints, if you want to delete one, aim at it and press "o". If you think some waypoints are not connected properly (can happen sometimes), press "l". When you're done, press "k" to save all waypoints.
All waypoints will be saved to Nexuiz/data/data/<mapname>.waypoints (Windows) or ~/.nexuiz/data/data/<mapname>.waypoints (Linux/MacOS).

I might go ahead and do that myself and release the waypoint file in the map's thread, since I'm the original author

That would be great.

By the way, I have created a few ebuilds for Nexuiz (just in case someone is running Gentoo Linux here):

ok, I tried that with ctf_dismal. It works. But on that map, the bots just don't want to jump off of the central platform. They always take the teleporters. When one removes the waypoints to the teleporters, they get stuck on the platform: the waypoints between the different platforms don't get linked. Is there a way to force a link between points or to set up special jump waypoints?

A first waypoint file version for ctf_greatwalls_rev2 is here:

Bots don't know how to jump, they can only walk around and use jumppads/teleporters atm.
