Sturmbot and dodbits.com is now on discord - link here.
Update 4th April: A new guide for new players, a dod set up guide.
It also has a large download of file fixes and Sturmbot (single-player mode) to start your training off.
1st April:
Most of my time in February and March was taken up with the various dod:s update that broke a lot of mods.
However, just before that I was trying to get some map downloads and waypoints done that the Competitive players use.
I now have 9 maps/waypoints in this section and all have waypoints now...
To get the best out of this set of maps adjust your bot.cfg file for Sturmbot and get the skill level as high as you can go.
addbot is the command, the team is the number after that, next is the class, then the skill.
They are tougher than normal "8" on the end is the highest skill.
If you find them too tough... reduce that last number "8" down to "3" for dumber bots...or even further.
Then build your way up as you learn.
Here is what to change in dod\sturmbot\bot.cfg ...
#Default for Skill is 75 random_skill 100 # Adjust the bot min and max. # Leave on "0" and use addbot min_bots 0 max_bots 0 #addbot [team] [class] [skill] # [team] 1 = Allies, 2 = Axis # [class] See the manual class numbers. # [skill] 0-8 (0 a low skill , 8 deadly) # The below will give a normal 6X6 match. # Per side: 3 rifles 2 support and a sniper # rifle X 2 addbot 1 1 8 addbot 2 1 8 addbot 1 1 8 addbot 2 1 8 # carbine k43 X 1 addbot 1 2 8 addbot 2 2 8 # sniper X 1 addbot 1 5 8 addbot 2 5 8 # support X 2 addbot 1 6 8 addbot 2 4 8 addbot 1 6 8 addbot 2 4 8

The map section in the downloads have changed, it now has separated sections for Single standard maps. Dev types and a special section for rare maps played by League players. There are 5 maps in that new section, all have waypoints and there are at least 7 more coming.
In this month I am researching and updating Sturmbot commands, there isn't much on older websites, files so I'm looking into those commands and providing more information on each command.
The intent is to provide a guide on this page to what commands you can manipulate in the "bot.cfg" and fine tune the bots to your level.
The new for-mentioned map section: I am, with help from Martee and others in the KTP League, assembling a unique map pack.
The various dod competitive groups have their own maps and most of them are versions of known maps. They are featured in a lot of videos, they play really well so I thought grabbing the latest versions in 2024 and getting waypoints for them for the folks (like me) that don't want to play on servers with 300 ping.
So far I have 15 map targets and half of them have good waypoints. The maps are the same you see on YouTube channels like teamowner and BulletFrenzy.
This website got a upgrade for security, and some pages updated and tidied up.
SturmBot is a easy to install add-on program that adds "bots" to the WW2 based multi-player game Day of Defeat, (also known as "dod", wiki here) making it a single-player game.
If you have Day of Defeat for Steam or the older versions please visit the downloads section for the latest SturmBot packages for dod Steam version or older dod versions.
Most recent package is Sturmbot 1.9 for Steam dod version 2.
Here is a page that shows what version of SturmBot works with each dod version.
Sturmbot has had a few sites over the years and all the places are mostly gone, reasons are below. I hope this site corrects that.
About the creator of SturmBot - Johan Linde:
Johan was the developer of Sturmbot, Johan Linde, AKA... Jowo.
Johan perished while vacationing in Thailand when the 2004 Tsunami hit, he was listed as missing. There are some bits of information on the web that some family members also died. (See Read More below)
However, enough was left to us by Johan for the program to function with the latest steam dod Version 1.3.
While only young, Johan's work was an incredible effort for a person of his age.
This site is dedicated to Johan's work so that does not disappear.
A single-player add-on "bot" modification for a WW2 game Day of Defeat.
SturmBot is about as old as Day of Defeat, Beta versions were in 2001 and full retail around 2003-2005.
The game has a manual that I (INsane - webmaster) have added to that old manual for those that need it.
This site captures all it can for those old files and provides downloads so you can play off-line.
There are waypoint guides (with videos) Server guides... just explore the main menu up there.
Take a look at this video by YouTuber Zerscape for part 1 of all the official maps...
