hello , can anyone please tell me:

1) I created my own server, edited everything according to the server manual, double clicked on subgame2 and after 1 minute came out error:cannot connect to billing server
starting in stand alone mode
what is going on, and when i load up continuum and downloaded zones, mine was shown up there and i am able to play in it. Is that right?

2) Dunno nothing about the bots, does it create fake players in the game for u or what?

1) At first you have to run Subbill.exe, after that subgame2.exe and then bots if you have some. That leads me to your second question.

2) Dont think of CounterStrike bots if you talk about Continuum bots

. Bots for Continuum can't play; They are there to manage the zone and make life easier for mods+. This is the case with MervBot. I don't know other bots but i don't think they can 'play'.

Of course they can play. Probably nobody will bother coding such a bot, though.

I made a bot that used logic as a turret driver. I was able to ignore physics by using *watchdamage on the driver, and able to ignore who got hit before by choosing my targets with *energy viewing on. It did aim (ignoring walls) pretty damn good, and had a bit of control over how often to shoot (got to work on a safe level for "if below this nrg, do NOT shoot unless you have a 80% chance of a kill"). It used recharge correctly (not hard to do), so was able to die. Course, if driver died first, the bot was screwed to not take damage till driver respawned (eheh, that was fun, because bot still shot from the middle of no where). But nevertheless, it isn't that hard to make a playing bot. Now, to make one that plays like Couterstrike bots, that requires work that people should get paid for.
