Several important wiki pages missing about omni-bot HOT 24 OPEN

Full HTML export of Omni-bot 0.86 wiki can be downloaded from dropbox. Use 7-zip to extract the archive and then open file index4875.html in folder omni-bot.invisionzone.com/wiki.
XML markup of Omni-bot 0.87 can be downloaded from my Google drive.
I think it would be too much work and waste of time to covert the wiki to GitHub pages format. @hellreturm offered to host the wiki on his silEnT mod website.
I have installed MediaWiki on my PC so I could share its MySQL database. But I don't have GameMonkey scripts syntax highlighter. All scripts are displayed on one line and are unreadable. Does anybody know how to install and configure syntax highlighter in MediaWiki ? We already have syntax highlighters for Notepad++ and other text editors.

If you have installed 64-bit iorctw (iortcw-1.51c-linux-x86_64.zip), you must install 64-bit omni-bot (omni-bot_0_87_RTCW_64bit.zip).

I created a new online wiki on https://omnibot-enemy-territory.fandom.com

Is it possible to open something like an official Discord channel so people could interact meanwhile?

Wiki has been moved to https://mygamingtalk.com/wiki

Addendum #1. I'm actually on Linux, and using iortcw.

from omni-bot.

I have the wiki enabled here on github because I had planned/hoped someone might be open to taking the reigns on building up a new repository of knowledge here in the bots new home. I know it sucks to not have access to the old bot site forums and such, but so far I have been unable to get my hands on that old data. I did not pay for that hosting nor have access to its administration, and it is difficult to get in touch with the one who did.

from omni-bot.

Ah. I would like to try and volunteer for it, adding what I can make out of what experience I can get out of this. As for the old webpage, did you try the Internet Archive? From there you can copy the text from the content div, maybe copy the HTML as a reference for the Markdown version. It is most likely the best shot you have at it.

Either way, perhaps continued support to the issue of spawning the bots would be best in a separate issue, or through emails. It does work with Wine and the standard WolfMP executable, so it's probably an iortcw issue, anyway. Most likely trying to just load DLLs wacks it up, hah!

That DropBox link looks like an old mine, here's a more recent one from 2020 (comments section): https://app.assembla.com/spaces/omnibot/subversion/commits/3528

I can't check rn on my personal computer to confirm so, but I'm quite sure

Thank you! I can't wait to delve into the madly maniac and awesomely awkward world of blowing up the beach walls with a squad of 7 other bots! (Side note, I've always noticed mp-beach is awfully similar to Unreal Tournament's AS-Overlord map.)

I will figure out, with this additional material, how to add those bots to a game, then I will add to the wiki with whatever experience I can gather out of it.

from omni-bot.

Hm, that is actually technical documentation. I can't find other docs there. I remember there also being more general documentation in that same website, though. I truly remember that little doll guy on the top left there...

Running iortcw with bots is easy:

• Download and extract iortcw-1.51c-linux-x86.zip and omni-bot_0_87_RTCW.zip
• ./iowolfmp.x86 +set fs_game omnibot +set omnibot_path omni-bot
• load any map, for example /map mp_beach
• type command /bot maxbots 15

The command 'bot' was missing from my iortcw version. Maybe it has to do with the latter being x86_64 (AMD64), or some specific version thereof? That's for another issue, though; besides, I probably am missing something obvious!

Thank you for the suggestions, though! I will try again, but this time I'll follow the steps (save for the first one) to see if it works any better. Then I'll try again with the x86 (IA32) build of iortcw.

I can offer up some web space, if that would be helpful ?

from omni-bot.

The "bot" command is built into the mod, so if it was missing then the mod doesn't have bot support. Even if Omni-bot isn't installed that command will be present, and just print an error if the bot is not loaded.

It's possible but I don't know how many people would be available that knows enough about stuff to be helpful on it.

We have a new discussion forum at https://mygamingtalk.com/forums/forum/82-omnibot-development-and-discussion/

It gives an error whenever I try to access it.
"You do not have permission to view this forum."

Is that intentional?

Mod? Are you talking about iortcw? It is just a source port of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which reuses some of the ioquake3 code and whatnot. I think it has more to do with mismatching architectures. I will take a more in-depth look when I can.

Would it be possible to give this sub-forum the read access to non-registered users?
So it could be read without the account requirement

Ah, I see, thanks!

If you have installed 64-bit iorctw (iortcw-1.51c-linux-x86_64.zip), you must install 64-bit omni-bot (omni-bot_0_87_RTCW_64bit.zip).

I think I had that one, though. Not the 32-bit versin. Or maybe not. Odd. Go figure. :P
But thank you!

That sounds like a nifty idea! It would also allow archival by bots/crawlers like the Internet Archive's.
