Iw5 bot naming
-
I know this has been done to death, but I seriously am stumped.
I’ve been working at this for 3 hours trying to crack it and it’s driving me up the wall. The mod downloads fine, it works fine. Latest version of bot warfare, on plutonium. I’ve looked in what seems to be every forum on this topic and even watched a few YouTube tutorials with the bot naming specifically noted and followed it to a tee. But when I open the original file for bot warfare fresh off the download, I open it in winrar to actually dig into the file, and all I have an option for is scripts and maps. No file whatsoever that says bot.txt. I’ve tried making the file (text) for bot.txt and adding it into iw5, mod folder, bot folder, seriously nothing is working whatsoever. Please help a guy out.

In File Explorer, click view from the top and turn off “Hide file extensions” if you have it on. Fix the filename if needed then restart the game and check.
If you’ve disabled hiding the file extension then renamed the file if you had to but it didn’t work, provide a screenshot showing the path of where the file is located, its name, and what’s written inside it.

I’m not sure how to post images. I completely deleted the file, turned off the hide known file extensions, redownloaded the file and still have the same issue. Again I’m sorry I can’t figure out how to upload images, I’m on iOS -

Hadi77KSA sorry it took a few days. So with the winrar screenshot, that's what i see when i open the "bots.iwd" file up. Maps and scripts, even after turning off that hide file function you spoke about before, and as i stated before i did delete and reinstall the file entirely, just to be sure. just for reference, i did try and move the "bots" file to the mod folder as a youtube video suggested, and tried to make my own text file for bot names, but then the mod simply didn't load into the game at all or work whatsoever. When i play with the mod as is, it works fine, but i won't lie, the "bot1" names are driving me up the wall, lol.

McRetnuh I was more so asking about the
bots.txtfile that you created, notz_svr_bots.iwd. Anyway, you have to create thebots.txtfile in thestorage\iw5directory. Make sure it’s “bots”, not “bot”. -

I did do that, and I crammed that text file into every spot I could think of. None of it seemed to work. When I get to my pc in a day or so I will try this out and see how it does. I appreciate the help. I just would really like to get to the bottom of it, you know. -

so i made a fresh text file for the iw5 storage directory, as so. Got 20+ names in it. unfortunately i'm still having the same issue. mod still works beautifully. just still stuck with playing with "bot1" and so on

McRetnuh the screenshot you’ve provided shows the size of
bots.txtas 0 KB, therefore indicating it’s empty. Make sure the one instorage\iw5is not empty.
Also, make sure to delete any otherbots.txtfiles that you placed in any other place. -
Hadi77KSA
I definitely see where it says 0kb, indicating nothing, but I promise when you open the file it’s got the names on each line, basically typed then made a new line, new name, new line etc. I did clear the older .txt files. -
McRetnuh make sure the changes you’re seeing have been saved to the file or try another text editor program, because the file is empty according to the screenshot.

I see what you’re saying. I opened the file and it brought up the notepad, hence why I “saw the names”. I did file it properly and voila, names worked. I appreciate it, seriously thank you for your help these last few days
