Hey all just wanted to give a heads up.

The fortress survival host bot doesn't close the observer slot when hosting fs games and this can be annoying for games that actually fill up quick (ie someone becomes the observer and then whines about it and leaves right before the game starts and this happens again etc)

Also can we get a listing of bot commands somewhere or can someone pm them to me if i would want to host an fs game with it? Or would i have to be a clan member?

[Prodigy]

can we just remove the observer? I don't think anyone trys to use that position anyways. if they did all they have to do is not move their guy. go back to having 10 players and no observers please.
if i posted in the wrong spot move this post please.

Im making the Ob. just like a regular player later on. They will get a survivor afterwards...

[Prodigy]

then whats the point of being an observer?

[Balonator1992]

i think its a glitch.. in the bot or the map

[ElderKingpin]

hes not playing anyway o.O so it doesnt matter if he leaves. The observer slot is number 10. if you want to close it

[Prodigy]

y can't we have ten players and no observer again?

[Brainneater]

I honestly don't understand why we have an observer slot at all.

For bot access / commands talk to halithor?

[Prodigy]

when is he on?

[Brainneater]

I wouldn't know. I haven't been on in a while, sorry.

[Link8675309]

alright ill talk to halthior when i see him otherwise if you see this halth please pm me the command list, so i can close the obv slot in hosted games and force start when people wish to go

[ElderKingpin]

i just said the observer slot is 10. listen damnit. so

-close 10

i had no idea that -close was a bot command, so sue me lol

i have seen things used from !close to ~closeslot so yeah every bot is different, dont just assume a person knows the command

assuming things makes an ass out of you and me

[ElderKingpin]

..how could you use the -pub command if you didnt know the - command.

[Link8675309]

Again you assume.

I guess i should have been more clear in my opening post.

I am referring to games that i have joined while they were hosted by the fort survival host bot.

Now i must make my own assumption and state that "Can you only do bot commands if you're in red's spot?".

[Prodigy]

maybe i should say why can't we have no observer and ten builders without that observer slot.

[ElderKingpin]

No. you dont have to. but you DO have to whisper the FortSurvHostBot. that means you have to add him and do /f m. You can do this anytime, even during the game. Except you cant kick during the game. You can only close their slot while they are in the lobby. You cant kick during the game.

You can ban during the game, but the person is still going to play :/

>You can't kick during the game.
Oh yes you can. It just so happens that the -kick command is identical to the one used in the map itself.

There are three levels of access you can have to a GHost bot (unless it's a modded bot): Root admin (i.e. the bot owner), admin, and game owner. Games can be started only by admins and the root admin. Admins can set any other user as the game owner which allows them to use in-game commands (game lobby and in game). Game owners can lock games to prevent other admins from running commands during the game (except the root admin). In all cases a spoofcheck is required to use commands in game (whisper the bot while in game, doesn't need to be an /f m).

GHost bots allow the owner to change the command trigger from the default ! to anything else (i.e. . , $ or in the case of FortSurvHostBot, -). That's why you see different command strings for different bots. To test what the trigger is try the version command (which can be used by any user, spoofchecked or not) i.e. .version, !version, -version etc until you receive a response.

Command list: http://ghostplusplus...runk/readme.txt (scroll down to section titled 'Commands', about three-quarters of the way down the page).

There that should clear up a few things.

[Nevo]

OB is made for someone who doesnt know how to play, but you know what, your right, maybe we dont even need it. :/

[CrumbliNherb]

wow thank you saw, I sat here reading all the other bs then that just cleared it up =P
