Installation

The mod is installed in two locations; an omnibot folder for the game folder and an omni-bot folder which contains the bot dll as well as waypoints and scripts.

Windows

Unzip the archive to your Return to Castle Wolfenstein folder.

Linux

It is recommended that the zip be copied to the games root folder as a user with root priveledges (default is /usr/local/games/wolfenstein). Extract the zip to this location. Once extracted, the omnibot_path must be set in either the server config or wolfconfig_mp.cfg. It must be set to the exact path of the omni-bot folder. Alternatively, you can start the game and set the value in the console; /seta omnibot_path /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/omi-bot for example. If set with the console, a map_restart is required.

LUA

Copy the lua library from the with_lua folder to the RTCW root directory that contains the game executable ( wolfmp.exe / wolfmp ). Copy the qagame library from the with_lua folder to the omnibot mod folder (replacing the existing qagame). Note that for linux, the file extension is .so while in Windows it is .dll.

Starting Omnibot

There are two ways to start the mod. One way is to start Wolfmp.exe, then select options / mods / omnibot. The other way is to create a shortcut. To do this, copy your Wolfmp.exe to the desktop, then right click it. Select properties, then add +set fs_game omnibot to the target line:

"C:\games\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\WolfMP.exe" +set fs_game omnibot
