What exactly are you having trouble with? This is taken from the read me. Men do not read instructions haha. It is really simple to get going.

TOP TIP. Both my servers de-ranked from GameTracker because I Never put [bot] in front of the bot names. I never knew about that and while I was testing servers obviously ranked up. Yes in this day and age people are still worried about that :rofl: and of course reported my servers. Get a life.

Anyway give me a shout if you need some help.

Installation

Using CoD4x’s extended functionality requires to use their Dedicated server, as explained here.

You can easily setup a local LAN dedicated server for you to join and play on. Have a look at Setting up a CoD4x server.

  1. Make sure that CoD4x server + client is installed, updated and working properly.
  2. Locate your CoD4x server install folder.
  3. Move the files/folders found in ‘Add to root of CoD4x server’ from the Bot Warfare release archive you downloaded to the root of your CoD4x server folder.
    • The folder/file structure should follow as .CoD4x server folder\main_shared\maps\mp\bots\_bot.gsc.
  4. The mod is now installed, now start your server, change the DVARs and start a map.
  5. Now start your CoD4x client and connect to your server (‘connect 127.0.0.1’ in the console most likely) and play!

hello thank you very much for the guide … I’m doing something wrong … the server works fine for a few hours and then it stops and throws this message … (image) … I think somewhere I read about the file … “_callbacksetup.gsx” …but now I can’t find where I read that … =( … my server uses the “new_experience” mod… and inside the “main_shared\maps\mp\gametypes” folder I already have a file called… “_callbacksetup.gsx”… I remember reading that it has to be replaced… … thank you very much in advance!

2022-11-09 00_10_49-WeWert Server Latam BO2 0_18

my … “_callbacksetup.gsx” …seems to be incomplete…?

CodeCallback_StartGameType()
{
// If the gametype has not beed started, run the startup
if(!isDefined(level.gametypestarted) || !level.gametypestarted)
{
[level.callbackStartGameType];

	level.gametypestarted = true; // so we know that the gametype has been started up

	level thread maps\mp\bots\_bot::init();
	level thread maps\mp\bots\_bot_chat::init();
	level thread maps\mp\bots\_menu::init();
	level thread maps\mp\bots\_wp_editor::init();
}

}

I just realized that this happens when entering a command of the “new experience” mod … example …“$fps” … the server crashes and that message appears (image) … I mean … how do I run the two mods in simultaneous? there are other servers that have both mods

12

I use both New Experience and Bot Warfare Mods and have no issues with $fps

can you post your full _callbacksetup.gsx file and I will compare it with mine

In the past I have run both together with no issues.

Try running it with out the menu, chat and wp editor first and see how it goes.

Personally I did not bother with them. If it for you and friends then do you really need ?

My callbacksetup just had

level thread maps\mp\bots_bot::init();

thanks for answering … ! I leave you here…

thanks for answering ! =) … how do I run it without …“the menu, the chat and the editor”

18

the server is a dedicated server… I mean, it’s public… it’s not just for my friends…

ok so your _callbacksetup.gsx is fine apart from the line to initiate the bots is missing:

Might be worth looking at your configs.

I run the NE config within my command line then at the bottom of this file I have
exec botsofwar.cfg

which then proceeds to run the server config

Are you set up similar?

Downloaded your setup.

You have it loading the server config and then the NE config.

Try it the other way round

In your command line change +exec server.cfg to +exec config.cfg

Remove the entry of exec config.cfg from server.cfg
Add entry of exec server.cfg to bottom of config.cfg

Add the init thread for the bots to your _callbacksetup.gsx file

I did everything you explained to me… but I don’t know how and what to add to the “_callbacksetup.gsx” file… couldn’t you send the content of yours please…?

I don’t know which one is the “NE” configuration.

Thank you very much for your support …

24

your config.cfg is the NE config. Why not rename it config_ne.cfg so you know in future

Top of _callbacksetup.gsx:

CodeCallback_StartGameType()
{
	// If the gametype has not beed started, run the startup
	if(!isDefined(level.gametypestarted) || !level.gametypestarted)
	{
		[[level.callbackStartGameType]]();

		level.gametypestarted = true; // so we know that the gametype has been started up
		
		level thread maps\mp\bots\_bot::init();
		//level thread maps\mp\bots\_menu::init();
		//level thread maps\mp\bots\_wp_editor::init();

	}
}

Oh by the way @CamouflageLvLCat, I have just realised you are not the threads original poster and have hijacked this thread. Any more help needed then please start your own thread as I don’t think the mods here like it when a thread gets hijacked :smile:
