bot boxing V4

bot boxing - A map for bots to box on, thats pretty much it

This is a map I made for a livestream, it's sole purpose is to show 4 heavies punching each other.

For some reason RED wins more than BLU, don't know why.

Techincally a King of the Hill map but I removed the logic that starts the timer to make the game go on forever.

Can you add "map_background" support? I want to include this map in my life.

EDIT:
For the record, I've tried putting these commands in koth_botboxing.cfg (via /tf/cfg/ directory):

tf_bot_add 4 heavy
tf_bot_difficulty 3
​

But it doesn't work. The bots spawn too soon and it specs the bot's first-person view.

I beg you to add the logic to add bots to the map without requiring console commands so that we could use this as map_background

I tried that, and I can still do that to a later version I guess, but for the map's current purpose (a livestream of bots fighting) it's a lot easier for me to manage things by manually adding bots than to let the map do it.

I don't know enough about this problem to do much, will look into it later.

It should default to the spectator camera right? theres only 1 on this map.

Update! now the playerclass will change every 10 minutes! Spy is not used because spy bots just stand around doing nothing.

-Added total death counter
-Added icons for what class is playing (still no spy lol)
-Fixed Soldier not being picked.
-Added some extra stuff

You still gotta make your own navmesh via nav_generate, I'm too lazy to pack it.

Thanks for the update. It works for map_background!! Thank you!!



EDIT1: oh wait! It doesn't seem to, yet? hold on... Might've messed something up.

EDIT2: Nope. never mind it doesn't work.

Sorry to double post--To fix the map_background thing, you need to put an input to tf_gamerules to set SetRequiredObserverTarget to the name of the info_observer_point.

Like this (click to enlarge):


In this example I named the info_observer_point to "observer".
tf_gamerules I just named "tf_gamerules"

That'll force the camera to only observe from one point, and not from any of the bots.

(I don't know if that'll completely fix it, but it'll be a first step)

Thanks Yaki, I'll implement that when I can.

V4
- Added SetRequiredObserverTarget as suggested by Yaki
- Made the map spawn 4 TF bots after loading
- Added func_respawnrooms to each spawn
- Moved the spawns back so they don't appear in a 16:9 resolution
- Nav mesh should be packed, idk if it'll work.

still can't get it working as a map background properly.
