GameBot not reacting in Custom Level

Author: dirkmalta

Hi All
I’ve been using this forum to help in developing a tool for my thesis. And I keep on coming back and you guys always provide me great information to solve my issues. So I must give a big thanks to the development team of Pogamut!

I’ve come in contact with another problem.

I installed Pogamut Gamebots in UDK (Dec 2010 Edition) and preformed the following steps to create my level and a custom pickup:
STEP 1:
Inside C:\UDK\UDK-2010-12\Development\Src\UTGame\Classes, I created the following UC files:
class MyCustomItem extends UTItemPickupFactory
class MyCustomItem _Item01 extends MyCustomItem
With these I am able to create my own custom pickups which are shown in UDK Editor. I understand this is not directly related to Bots, but eventually I will need the Pogamut Gamebots to pick my custom items.

STEP 2:
I created a basic DM level by setting World Properties -> World_Info -> Game Type for PIE to BotDeatchmatch. Then I created several path_nodes and PlayerStarts in the level. Also create UTWeapon_Pickup_Factory for each weapon for the player and Bots to pick up.

Step 3
I named the level I created to DM-Deck for the reason that this is the name of the default map. Once done I COOK and MAKE everything with UDK Front-End tool.

Step 4:
Open Netbeans and create a new project. For this test I created a Hunter bot type from UDK Sample file.

Step 5:
Switch on server by going into Command Promptand got the following.

Step 5:
I go back to Netbeans and RUN the Hunter file.
Netbeans Output:

Step 7:
Open UDK Game and enter the game by going into “open 127.0.0.1”.

ScriptLog: ServerSetSpectatorLocation UTPlayerController_0 GetStateName():'PlayerWalking' GetViewTarget():'GBPawn_2'

This process loads the game and lets me traverse through the level I created with no problems letting me pick the CustomItems I added in the level. However the Hunter bot is simple standing there doing nothing. It does not react when I go next to it or when I shoot at it. And if I kill it another one will simple be created.

Could someone please help in solving this problem.

Kind Regards,

P.S. I tried doing this same process for previous versions of UDK with the same result. I also noticed that using earlier version from UDK-07-2010 actually cause the level to crash when initially started.
