How to add bots to your Urban Terror server via RCON

bot configuration

First enable the use of bots

/rcon bot_enable 1
/rcon reload

1 2	/rcon bot_enable 1 /rcon reload

Next, lets add bots.

/rcon addbot  [level] [team] [ping] [nick]

1	/rcon addbot [level] [team] [ping] [nick]

addbot arguments

type
Define the name of the bot type here, chose one from the list below.
level
Define a number from 1 to 5 here to set how good the bots will try to hunt you down!
team
Define the color name Red or Blue to set the team this bot belongs to.
ping
Define the average ping time the bot will have, if you define this to a low value the bots will respond fast, I recommend setting this to 40 on a local LAN and 75 on a WAN connection.
nick
Define the nickname of the bot, I usually give a simple name like Bot1, Bot2, Bot3, etc…

addbot examples

/rcon addbot Chicken Blue 75 Bot1
/rcon addbot Cockroach Blue 75 Bot2
/rcon addbot Mantis Blue 75 Bot3

/rcon addbot Chicken Blue 75 Bot1

/rcon addbot Cockroach Blue 75 Bot2

/rcon addbot Mantis Blue 75 Bot3

In case you want to get rid of one or all bots, simply kick them!

/rcon kick [nickname]
/rcon kick allbots

1 2	/rcon kick [nickname] /rcon kick allbots

Here is a simple Bash example that you could use to add or remove bots:

#!/bin/bash

# Add bot
echo -e "xFFxFFxFFxFFaddbot Chicken Blue 75 BOTNAMEn" | /usr/bin/nc -D -4 -d -n -u 127.0.0.1 27960

# Remove bot
echo -e "xFFxFFxFFxFFkick BOTNAMEn" | /usr/bin/nc -D -4 -d -n -u 127.0.0.1 27960

#!/bin/bash

# Add bot

echo -e "xFFxFFxFFxFFaddbot Chicken Blue 75 BOTNAMEn" | /usr/bin/nc -D -4 -d -n -u 127.0.0.1 27960

# Remove bot

echo -e "xFFxFFxFFxFFkick BOTNAMEn" | /usr/bin/nc -D -4 -d -n -u 127.0.0.1 27960

How to install an Urban Terror server with bots on FreeBSD

This will install an Urban Terror server running under the user urban with 4 bots enabled on the server.

First of all we install the binaries, I prefer installing them from the ports, in case you don’t have root access you might want to manually download from https://www.urbanterror.info/. The configuration is quite the same so you should be able to install on your own.

For the port install use:

cd /usr/ports/games/iourbanterror/
make WITHOUT_CLIENT=1 
WITHOUT_GAMELIBS=1 
WITH_DEDICATED=1 
WITHOUT_CURL=1 
WITHOUT_OPENAL=1 
WITHOUT_MUMBLE=1 
WITHOUT_VORBIS=1 
WITH_TEAMARENA=1 install clean

cd /usr/ports/games/iourbanterror/

make WITHOUT_CLIENT=1

WITHOUT_GAMELIBS=1

WITH_DEDICATED=1

WITHOUT_CURL=1

WITHOUT_OPENAL=1

WITHOUT_MUMBLE=1

WITHOUT_VORBIS=1

WITH_TEAMARENA=1 install clean

Lets get some coffee, cause this installation might take a while… The installation requires downloading UrbanTerror411.zip from one of the mirrors which is around 1GB in size 🙂

After installing you need to add a user to run the server.

pw user add urban -m

1	pw user add urban -m

I don’t set a password for this account simply because I mostly su into it 😉 So…

su - urban

1	su - urban

First create the required directories

mkdir -p .ioUrbanTerror/q3ut4
cd .ioUrbanTerror/q3ut4

1 2	mkdir -p .ioUrbanTerror/q3ut4 cd .ioUrbanTerror/q3ut4

In this directory you need to add the configuration files: server.cfg / mapcycle.txt / bots.cfg

server.cfg

sets "Admin" "Marius van Witzenburg"
sets "Email" "marius@"
set rconpassword "This_Is_Your_RCON_Password"
set g_gametype "0"
set sv_hostname "Fire in the hole!"
set g_respawndelay "1"
set bot_enable "1"
set g_teamautojoin "1"
set g_maxteamkills "5"
set g_respawnprotection "3"

// (restart/map/nextmap/cyclemap)
set g_allowVote "536870926"

set g_log ""
set g_logroll "0"

set fraglimit "50"
set timelimit "15"

// Startup map
map ut4_turnpike

// Add bots
exec bots.cfg

sets "Admin" "Marius van Witzenburg"

sets "Email" "marius@"

set rconpassword "This_Is_Your_RCON_Password"

set g_gametype "0"

set sv_hostname "Fire in the hole!"

set g_respawndelay "1"

set bot_enable "1"

set g_teamautojoin "1"

set g_maxteamkills "5"

set g_respawnprotection "3"

// (restart/map/nextmap/cyclemap)

set g_allowVote "536870926"

set g_log ""

set g_logroll "0"

set fraglimit "50"

set timelimit "15"

// Startup map

map ut4_turnpike

// Add bots

exec bots.cfg

In case you want to change this configuration, check out: http://www.urbanterror.info/docs/180-/

mapcycle.txt

ut4_turnpike
ut4_abbey
ut4_prague
ut4_mandolin
ut4_algiers
ut4_austria
ut4_sanc
ut4_riyadh
ut4_thingley

ut4_turnpike

ut4_abbey

ut4_prague

ut4_mandolin

ut4_algiers

ut4_austria

ut4_sanc

ut4_riyadh

ut4_thingley

I limited the map list to the maps that work fine with bots.

bots.cfg

kick allbots
addbot boa 4 blue 25 "Bot 1"
addbot chicken 4 blue 25 "Bot 2"
addbot cockroach 4 blue 25 "Bot 3"
addbot goose 5 blue 25 "Bot 4"

kick allbots

addbot boa 4 blue 25 "Bot 1"

addbot chicken 4 blue 25 "Bot 2"

addbot cockroach 4 blue 25 "Bot 3"

addbot goose 5 blue 25 "Bot 4"

You can start the server by manual but I would advice you do run the server with this script in tmux or in GNU Screen.

start.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Dedicated
# 1 don't report
# 2 report to master servers

myExit() {
	kill $
	exit $?
}

trap myExit SIGINT

while true
do
	/usr/local/bin/ioUrTded 
		+set fs_game q3ut4 
		+set dedicated 1 
		+set net_ip 192.168.1.5 
		+set net_port 27960 
		+set com_hunkmegs 128 
		+exec server.cfg

	echo "server crashed on `date`" &gt; /usr/home/urban/last_crash.txt
done

#!/bin/bash

# Dedicated

# 1 don't report

# 2 report to master servers

myExit() {

kill $

exit $?

}

trap myExit SIGINT

while true

/usr/local/bin/ioUrTded

+set fs_game q3ut4

+set dedicated 1

+set net_ip 192.168.1.5

+set net_port 27960

+set com_hunkmegs 128

+exec server.cfg

echo "server crashed on `date`" > /usr/home/urban/last_crash.txt

done

Run it by doing

chmod 700 start.sh
./start.sh

1 2	chmod 700 start.sh ./start.sh

In case you want this server to be reachable for the public, don’t forget to set dedicated to 2.

Good luck! If you have any questions, let me know!
