Bot pathing for CS:Source

counter-strikecounter-strike-source

When I load up a new map in CS:Source it has to spend some time analyzing it before it can be played with bots.

On more complex maps, this can take quite a bit of time. And if I go to play on another computer, I have to do the process over again.

Is there a file associated with each map's analysis that I can copy from computer to computer along with the maps themselves?

Best Answer

Figured this out for myself. The app creates a .nav file with the same name as the map. Copy these along with your maps and you're good to go.

What network settings are best for Counter-Strike: Source after the update

Seeing as no-one has answered this question so far, I'll try.

First of all, I wouldn't suggest meddling with cvars to alleviate lag. Valve has worked pretty hard on their networking code, and changing their defaults will usually only make the problem worse.

Do you have ping lag or graphics lag? If it's the former first eliminate all the primary suspects, someone using the connection, or just try a server closer to you.

If it's graphics lag you might want to try getting a better computer if you have such lag with every setting on low.

Change the bot names in CS:Source

A according to source, this is the default template. However, since all values that aren't changed already use default, it would seem that to do what you want you don't actually need to know what default is:

//
// This database defines bot "personalities". 
// Feel free to edit it and define your own bots.
//


//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

//
// All profiles begin with this data and overwrite their own
//
Default
   Skill = 50
   Aggression = 50
   ReactionTime = 0.3
   AttackDelay = 0
   Teamwork = 75
   WeaponPreference = none
   Cost = 0
   Difficulty = NORMAL
   VoicePitch = 100
   Skin = 0
End

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

//
// These templates inherit from Default and override with their values
// The name of the template defines a type that is used by individual bot profiles
