Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
A couple questions:

As metamod, and all plugins, directly interface with the half life and/or counterstrike engines, what is the need for buy code at all? Wouldnt simply making the bots drop the old and acquire a new weapon by entity management be less laggy than forcing it to work through the counterstrike buy system? Just wondering.

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
@Vor'Tex: that would be cheating, bad boy :)

@Austin: I'd say... according to the expertise my nose gives me, a few hours of work (to do something clean, I mean. It's the entire aiming code that needs to be changed, I don't want to "patch" it). But have you tried the bot yet ?

Nobody else tried podbot with linux?

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
no, sorry this install marathons get to time consuming, i failed for joebot and IvPBot, i just don tget all the file in the needed places, and time is an issue, i cant shutdown the server for too long, ppl. get pissed ...

Terran 26-02-2004 11:07
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Joebot was easy:
- install joebot 1.6.1
- copy the MM version of joebot into the $hlserver/joebot directory
- add "linux ../joebot/joebot_mm_i586.so JoeBot" to plugins.ini
- restart server =)

But I'm totaly glueless what's causing my problems with this new version of podbot - I even deactivated all other MM plugins...

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
I think the problem is in the pathfinding code of realbot because hlds crashes when a realbot joins.

DreamLord34 26-02-2004 20:25
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
eAnic, that's gotta be it. Every time I tried to run podbot with RB, as soon as RB joins it crashes. Now if Stefan can come up with a fix. Or anyone for that matter.

stefanhendriks 26-02-2004 20:42
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
it seems RB does not like other bots yet... gonna hunt tha bugs for that.

DreamLord34 26-02-2004 21:01
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Stefan, RB seems to like IVP since that's what I'm using atm to train RB. Now & then the IVP.dll will crash but it's random & never the realbot_mm.dll as of yet.

No I havn't, but I can't wait to try it. This week has been terrible work wise but I get some relief starting tomorrow and promise I will try the bot on friday and this weekend and give some feedback. I will grab and complie the latest version from your site as of late tonight around 10pm my time. I like to run new plugins under th debugger!

I will send some feedback soon and thanks agian!

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Hey all,

I'm really glad to see that podbot for Linux has not died.
However, I'm trying to run the metamod version on my 1.5 server and when I try to add a bot, here's the crash I get:

status

I'm using metamod ver 1.17 from the metamod.org site
Anything I can do to fix this?

Like I tell you, RealBot will work fine with all the other bots which use the FL_THIRDPARTYBOT flag and NOT the FL_FAKECLIENT one, for the reason I told you one page or two before. But since TurtleRocker told us to put the FL_FAKECLIENT flag back (for engine consistency reasons) your bot is confused about which edict is a RealBot and which other is a third-party one. If I was to put the FL_THIRDPARTYBOT flag in POD-bot these two bots would get along together quite nicely, but since it is RECOMMENDED to put the FL_FAKECLIENT flag back, you have to check your code and fix it the way I told you.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, email me your latest RealBot source code and I'll do the changes for you. It's a matter of 5 minutes.

Pierre-Marie Baty 27-02-2004 01:23
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
@Dethpod: the bot is probably not installed correctly, and it couldn't find the files called "BotNames.txt". Ensure you have the "podbot" folder in your "cstrike" folder and ensure that all your config files are present and look okay.

DreamLord34 27-02-2004 01:23
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
That other podbot dll file that was fixed by someone here is able to work with realbot.

Dethpod 27-02-2004 01:52
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Pierre-Marie Baty,

Thanks for the help. It was a case issue. My file was botnames.txt.
I changed it to BotNames.txt and that did the trick.
And it runs with RB WIP#9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much,

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
PM, the bot seems to run fine.
The main problem was that all bots always took the exact same route. I was playing dust and started with no pxp files.

All 4 bots on my team would run around the perimeter of the t's spawn and then head for the long hallway overpass / tunnel and then go up and around and then through the short tunnel to the bomb site.

I was on a LAN with 1.5 and I did several rounds.
Is there something I am missing with their navigation?

Nice job.
They seem to run great!

Pierre-Marie Baty 27-02-2004 10:00
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
If they always took the same route that's precisely because they have no experience yet, so the pathfinder can't "weighten" the returned paths. As a consequence, as long as the bots didn't notice that this path was dangerous for them, they will keep using the shortest path. Just wait for them with a grenade or two at hand to temperate their pretentions in this area and they should start to think again :)

Or perhaps what could be done is to lower the heuristic of the A* algorithm according to the age of the .pxp files...

stefanhendriks 27-02-2004 12:02
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
i see, i have to eliminate the checks based upon FL_Fakeclient but run then om UTIL_BotPointer() so i am sure it is a realbot and not an other bot ;)

Dethpod 28-02-2004 03:28
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Pierre-Marie Baty,

podbot works pretty good but it's crashing after a map change.

Especially after a map vote.

Here's what my log says:

L 02/27/2004 - 17:22:20: Server cvar "sv_voiceenable" = "0"
L 02/27/2004 - 17:22:20: Server cvar "sv_wateraccelerate" = "10"
L 02/27/2004 - 17:22:20: Server cvar "sv_waterfriction" = "1"
L 02/27/2004 - 17:22:20: Server cvars end
No Experience Data File or old one - starting new !

And then the server reloads.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Hello,

Here's another strange thing that started to happen on two of my servers. When a podbot dies my cpu goes to 100%. So they are pretty much useless now. That is really weird becasue it was working great on my 1.5 servers.

anyways, just to clarify things, how exactly do I install podbot-metamod? I think I may be using the wrong metamod.

Which version of metamod do I use?

Any advice would be much appreciated,

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
I just created a post in the NukeBox forums linking to this thread. You have done some amazing work, Pierre! Keep it up and I hope your new bot will pwn the rest :D

Pierre-Marie Baty 01-03-2004 00:48
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
@Dethpod: I got your email but I'll reply here if you don't mind...

The bot should work with any metamod version equal or above 1.17. The official metamod DLL is fine. I have personally tested this bot on CS 1.5 (Windows) and CS 1.6 (Windows), but not in Linux.

Does it happen if you try to run the bot without any config files ?

Are there other Linux users to experience the same bugs ?

Dethpod 01-03-2004 20:00
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Pierre,

"Does it happen if you try to run the bot without any config files ?"

Yes, it does. I renamed podbot.cfg to podbot.cfg.orig.

I didn't load any other plugins other than podbot and as soon as
a bot is killed, the cpu spikes to 100%.

The really weird thing is this is happening only on my Intel platform.

I have a test cs-server that is an Intel machine and two production cs-servers that run on an AMD machine.

I have had podbot-mm running on my private AMD cs-server and it seems stable. But the public cs-server running on the same AMD machine experiences 'hang-ups' at map changes and then crash.

Also, the cpu spiking doesn't happen on my AMD machine.

very very strange.

If you need a linux test server just let me know and I'll build one for you. This could be my way of contributing to keeping podbot for linux alive.

Thanks for your help,

Pierre-Marie Baty 02-03-2004 02:06
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Strange, indeed.

Does it happen when you disable bot chat ? There might be something messed up there.

Does it happen when you force bots to kill themselves ? (using the podbot menu or the kill command)

At wild guess I'd bet it's a bot chat problem, when the bot wants to whine at its killer. I need your confirmation though.

Dethpod 02-03-2004 02:43
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Pierre,

You are right, it was a bot chat problem. I turned it off and now it's running great. As in the cpu does not spike anymore.

Any ideas about the server crashing during a map change?

And did you need a linux server for testing?

Let me know how I can help,

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Really no idea about the server crashing during a map change. I've switched this and am currently coding other stuff, but since you're telling me there is at least a bug in the bot chat I'll probably get my hands back in this mud again soon.

It would be great to have a linux server for testing, indeed. Ensure I can also compile the bot on it if you put one together :)

Dethpod 02-03-2004 20:13
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Pierre,

I'll email you directly for security reasons concerning your login & access to my linux box.

As for the crashes during map changes I have an intersting scenario.

My private cs server does not crash on map changes. But my public server does crash on map changes.

I deleted all pxp files in the waypoint directory.

Here's what the log says for different crashes:

Crash type#1
No Experience Data File or old one - starting new !

Crash type#2
Old POD Bot waypoint file version (V6)!
Trying to convert...
Loading & decompressing Experience Data
Experience Data loaded from File...

Crash type#3
Loading & decompressing Experience Data
Experience Data loaded from File...

And then it crashes.
Maybe this will help.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Dethpod is trying to put together a Linux bot to help debugging the bot. Once this will be done I'll have a quick look and fix all the Linux issues that have been mentioned. I can't devote much time to this bot as I already have mine to grow, hope you understand. :)

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Try YaPB, you can find it in the Off-Topic forum. It's a modified podbot and works very well at my linux server 8)

Pierre-Marie Baty 10-03-2004 11:52
Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Actually I redid the ClampAngle() functions in a nicer way
Code:
void UTIL_ClampAngle (float *fAngle)
{
  if (*fAngle >= 180)
          *fAngle -= 360 * ((int) (*fAngle / 360) + 1);
  if (*fAngle < -180)
          *fAngle += 360 * ((int) (-*fAngle / 360) + 1);
}

void UTIL_ClampVector (Vector *vecAngles)
{
  if (vecAngles->x >= 180)
          vecAngles->x -= 360 * ((int) (vecAngles->x / 360) + 1);
  if (vecAngles->x < -180)
          vecAngles->x += 360 * ((int) (-vecAngles->x / 360) + 1);
  if (vecAngles->y >= 180)
          vecAngles->y -= 360 * ((int) (vecAngles->y / 360) + 1);
  if (vecAngles->y < -180)
          vecAngles->y += 360 * ((int) (-vecAngles->y / 360) + 1);
  vecAngles->z = 0.0;
}
And I added two ClampAngle() calls on idealpitch and ideal_yaw at the bottom of BotThink(), this way the assertion can't fail anymore.

I updated the podbot DLL

Re: POD-bot back into shape.
 
Pisses me off. I've added this barbarian fix.
Code:
void UTIL_ClampAngle (float *fAngle)
{
  if (*fAngle >= 180)
          *fAngle -= 360 * ((int) (*fAngle / 360) + 1);
  if (*fAngle < -180)
          *fAngle += 360 * ((int) (-*fAngle / 360) + 1);
 
  // if we're still above the limit then something's REALLY fuckedup!!!
  if ((*fAngle >= 180) || (*fAngle < -180))
          *fAngle = 0; // no mercy.
}
try this one now.
