Custom Configuration File

A custom config file that allows you to change some hard-coded things in the bot code.

It’s located in addons/yapb/conf/custom.cfg.

Note

All changes to this file take effect only on server restart.

Note

Keys may live either inside their section (as in the shipped config) or at the root level of the file – both layouts are accepted.

Connectivity

Setting	Default	Description
CheckConnectivityHost	google.com:443	Specifies the hostname the bot will attempt to connect to for checking network availability and enabling graph download/upload features. An optional :port suffix is supported (default 80), e.g. google.com:443.

Game

Setting	Default	Description
C4ModelName	c4.mdl	Sets a custom name for the C4 model, for servers that replace the C4 model with their own. By default it’s c4.mdl (the models/path is omitted), so if you need to use models/mybomb/mybomb.mdl, you should specify mybomb/mybomb.mdl.
AMXParachuteCvar	sv_parachute	Sets a custom CVAR name for parachute handling. There are various plugins that handle parachutes (AMX Parachute, AMX Parachute Lite, etc.), you can specify the needed CVAR here.

Mods

Setting	Default	Description
CustomCSDMSpawnPoint	view_spawn	Sets a custom spawn point classname for CSDM mods that add custom spawn points other than info_player_start and info_player_deathmatch. So bots will be able to join the game without default spawn entities.
CSDMDetectCvar	csdm_active	Sets a CVAR to detect the CSDM mod if it is activated in the game.
ZMDetectCvar	zp_delay,zp_on	Sets CVARs to detect the Zombie mod. Multiple CVARs can be listed comma-separated; the mod is considered active if any of them exists on the server.
ZMDelayCvar	zp_delay	Sets a CVAR that deals with time before any game mode starts.
ZMInfectedTeam	T	Determines the team on which infected players are on. Valid values: T, CT.

Features

Setting	Default	Description
EnableFakeBotFeatures	no	Decides if fake features (like a fake time, fake SID (avatar), fakeping) should be enabled within bot code on a dedicated server. By default it’s off. To enable it you should provide a variable with: i'm confident for what i'm doing as the value. Its value doesn’t affect the listen server.
DisableLogFile	no	Disables any writing activity to log files. All errors and warnings are just sent to the server console.
DisableSpawnControl	no	Disables enforcement of player spawn limits during bot creation and quota management, allowing the use of custom spawn editors.
UnlockThinkFPS	no	Allows to control the bot’s think rate (tick rate) with the yb_think_fps CVAR. By default the bot’s tick rate is locked to the internal value, and yb_think_fps is ignored.

Mode Walls

The ModeWalls section supports map-restricting plugins (e.g. AMXX “Mode 2x2”), which seal off parts of the map with wall entities when online is low.

Setting	Default	Description
ModeWallClassname	test_effect	Classname of the wall entities the plugin spawns (default test_effect). Bots treat entities with this classname and solid bbox as blockers for pathfinding.

Bot

Setting	Default	Description
BlockedClientCommands	lastinv	Comma or space separated list of client commands that bots must never be forced to execute. The default lastinv avoids a gamedll SelectLastItem crash on a stale weapon pointer.

Graph Database Endpoints

The GraphDatabase section holds the endpoints behind the @aliases of the yb_graph_url / yb_graph_url_upload CVARs (see CVARs). Change them here to relocate the graph database without rebuilding the bot.

Setting	Default	Description
GraphGithubDownload	https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yapb/graph/refs/heads/master	Download base behind @github of yb_graph_url (CDN raw over https).
GraphRussiaDownload	https://sourcecraft.dev/api/file/yapb/graph	Download base behind @russia of yb_graph_url (sourcecraft over https).
GraphWorkersUpload	https://graph-worker.yapb.workers.dev	Upload base behind @workers of yb_graph_url_upload (cloudflare worker over https).
GraphRussiaWorker	https://d5d5lttn6kg3uqou32ei.g4vq2kuy.apigw.yandexcloud.net	Upload base behind @russia of yb_graph_url_upload (yandex worker copy over https).
GraphLegacyBase	http://yapb.jeefo.net	Base behind @http / @legacy (legacy plain http server).
GraphLegacyUpload	http://yapb.jeefo.net/upload	Upload base used as a no-TLS fallback for @workers and @russia.

Downloads append graph/<map>.graph to the base URL; uploads POST the graph file to the base URL as-is. Automatic collection is only available over https.
