Heyyo,

dead_bwoy, there's something similar to that in the makings: Svencoop for HL2. Remember? Svencoop for Hl1 had some maps that were deathmatch-style with npc's. I'm sure some will be made for SvenCoop for Hl2. In the words of Axel Rose, "just a little patience..."

Re: Bots?
 

NPC navigation is based on nodes, so you cant use much of it. The combat code however should have a bunch of things you can use.

I am looking forward to see some kickass bots for CSS and HL2DM.

Re: Bots?
 

can't you do an entrip type thing to add nodes to the map?

Re: Bots?
 

Yes, I think so. Anyway, when a map is first loaded, a nodegraph is built. I thought that Half-life 2 used a navmesh. It may be possible to tweak the system to use waypoints, though.

Re: Bots?
 

Only if it has info_nodes in it.

Re: Bots?
 

I think Half-life 2 actually uses navmeshes. I saw code for it in the SDK.

Re: Bots?
 

Can you tell where ?
I don't have the SDK yet but I'm interested in it anyways...

Re: Bots?
 

Uhh like dlls/nav.h, dlls/nav_area.cpp, etc. Interesting note in them:

There is a pretty good chance that it comes from CS:CZ.

Re: Bots?
 

Can someone upload the src code to the filebase? I'd like a look at it myself.

Re: Bots?
 

i don't know if thats legally possible. We should e-mail valve about this if we may upload parts (or the entire) source for non-hl2-owners (because they verify that on the steam engine).
