I trying to run my test map that I created with GtkRadiant 1.4.0, just a small room, with bobots. I want to disable all weapons but medic poison needles. I’ve tried the following:
/sv_pure 0
/set weaponrestriction 0
/g_gametype 2
/devmap test5
But it doesn’t work. My plan is simple, I want a whole room of nothing but medic bots, 20 axis vs 20 allies, poisoning each other.
PS It’s ok to flame me for being a little sadistic with this “death” room experiment.
What next…
Not sure if this is possible with stock W:ET.
Are you using a mod (and if yes which one)?
stock w:et (etmain) isnt using any poison stuff.
the only thing u can do is setting g_knifeonly to 1 so only knives can be selected!
Thanks for the reply guys! I am just getting into mapping, level design and modding with Gtk Radiant 1.4.0. So, bare with me if I don’t quite understand thigns yet. In the mean time:
nUllSkillZ: “Are you using a mod (and if yes which one)?” Yes, I am using the BOBOTS mod and staring my test5 map in it.
Superdreadnought: “u can do is setting g_knifeonly to 1 so only knives can be selected” I will try this out. Is bobots mod using poison kills?
Can I use g_needleonly 1 in bobots? or g_poisonkillonly?
Ok, thanks for the help! I will try out all those suggestions.
Well, I tried the g_needleonly 1 and the bots still spwaned with default weapons…Someone else has suggested to run omnibot scence that is etpub it can use poison needles.
Use etpub and omnibots like was said. if etpub has no specific cvars to limi the weapons (I think that it does not, but I am not too familiar with newer versions, and that is something for you to check out) then you also need to run etadmin and restrict it that way.
There is very much documentation on how to setup etpub and etadmin mods, all located all around the net, the forums for each of the mods, and also within the mod download achive itself. Go abouts getting the tools first, then follow the instructions inside step by step and you will have no troubles. If you have troubles, you missed something…the documentation is quite clear.

Excellent! Thanks! I will diffinetly try that! (whew! this config stuff sure is complicated… 
)
I just learning how to do this and anything that I like and new is always overwelming at first. But thanks for your guy’s help it’s so bad.
If for some reason anything is not clear, just make another post in this topic and someone will help you out. Try to check etpub and etadmin forums first though because likely all questions clearing up anything will already be answered there.
Great! I figuered out what the problem was, I needed to install etadmin_mod. :banghead: But that’s only ONE problem sovled. Now, I have to figure out how to config so I can run my test map w/bots, poison needles only.
One more thing, I can run ANY bot mod w/etadmin_mod right? It seems that when ever I try to run omnibots .0531 I keep getting an error message “Failed to Load Bot Library”??? I 've looked up and down and the main omni-bot site but can’t find any help there. That’s why O want to know if I can run ANY bot mod w/etadmin_mod…
:moo:
Ok, I’ll walk you through this one, one step at a time.
We’ll cover 2 steps initially here to get started however. First of all, clean off your server so there are no extra uneeded files on it that will be confused and are useless.
Next, big important step. Don’t worry about bots yet, just get etpub running on your server, and post back when you have it running. I cannot stress enough that right now we only want pure etpub working at this point.

Ok, I will clean everything out and start fresh.
PS Should would be a whole lot easier if I had some one looking over my shoulder while I was setting it all up. :blah:
Anyway, I can see that this will take a little more time than I anticipated. One baby step at a time.
I would normally be very willing to help out with your configuration of your server, but I simply don’t have the time at the moment. Sorry. I just have many of my own projrcts underway, an et clan to manage, and then personal life lol. However here is a great link that got me started out, and at the time I knew not a thing about setting up a server, so it’s pretty in depth:
http://www.rtcw.jolt.co.uk/content/enemy_territory/server_guide/etpro_server_setup.html
In that link you can ignore the etpro specifics and either substitute with etpub or just select another link at the bottom of the page that will describe certain parts of the server setup in more depth.
I may have skipped a few steps by asking you to go straight to etpub. So, here’s a tad more detail (the link above however shows great detail). Setup a server running etmain, then place the etpub files in the proper directories and add the fs_game entry to the startup command line (set at etpub). That will get etpub working.
I won’t be around tomorrow until the evening sometime due to a meeting, so I’ll leave you with an extra step AFTER you have etpub working properly just in case you get there before I have a chance to respond.
Anyhow, once etpub is running properly, download and install the etadmin mod. Place the files on the server, and carefully read the instructions inside to configure the etadmin mod. It’s been awhle since I used etadmin, but I believe a large amount of the documentation for it is located right inside the configuration files that come with the mod. It has some defaults set up, and many areas that MUST be changed to suit your needs. Look through the etadmin configuration files very, very closely, as some cvars/options may be commented out for temporary purposes only, and they may be difficult to notice with just a quick scroll through.
Because you are only testing a map however, there is no need to set every last cvar to perfection within etpub. Usually the defaults will be perfect, and will save alot of time for now.
