FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

Fixed the bot not getting the timer_pickup value in podbot.cfg
in dll.cpp in StartFrame where it reads podbot.cfg:

Code:

           else if (FStrEq (cmd, CONSOLE_CMD_TIMEPICKUP))

            {

               g_fTimeSoundUpdate = atof (arg1);  // changing the sound even tho it's pickup is bad

               if (g_fTimePickupUpdate < 0.1)

                  g_fTimePickupUpdate = 0.1;



               UTIL_ServerPrint ("Pickup Update Timer set to %f secs\n", g_fTimePickupUpdate);

               break;

            }

should be:

Code:

           else if (FStrEq (cmd, CONSOLE_CMD_TIMEPICKUP))

            {

               g_fTimePickupUpdate = atof (arg1);  // this is what changed SoUlFaThEr

               if (g_fTimePickupUpdate < 0.1)

                  g_fTimePickupUpdate = 0.1;



               UTIL_ServerPrint ("Pickup Update Timer set to %f secs\n", g_fTimePickupUpdate);

               break;

            }

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

Nice, work sPlOrYgOn vbmenu_register("postmenu_13694", true); , keep it up!

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

would you be so kind and comment the lines you have changed to make it more readable. Thanks;)

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

i dont see a difference in the 2 pieces of code you placed......

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

look closer :D

i'll edit the post and tell you what changed.

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

The second line has changed - has been really quite hard to recognize, this way is much better now.

Except the fact that hopefully nothing has changed SoUlFaThEr so that he's still the same good guy he used to be... ;)

I know, bad joke, just ignore me for now

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

Hehehe, not that bad, actually... but I sure hope SoUlFaThEr's source code won't be published and analyzed here... guess we'd better keep him as he is; he seems to work quite well. :D :D :D

Btw, could somebody explain to me poor coding analphabet in what way the timer pickup affects me when I'm playing CS, or what the timer pickup actually is ? Excuse my ignorance...

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

I think it's the time a bot takes to "think" and react to pickup a gun.
like *thinking* should i pick up that ak or keep this m4...
just to simulate real people..

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

Ah. Thanks for the explanation!

(Btw: If bots were acting as human as me, they'd have an unfailing talent for picking up empty guns seconds before a well-armed enemy comes running around the next corner... :| )

Please, don't laugh at him. After my laughing, regardless of this I was right or not, he doesn't like me. I don't want the same for You. Last month he made a big effort to retype all waypoints in many of maps and he tested new podbot.dll and now he is simply tired and need more relax. Don't stress him more than I stressed him, please http://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Now he is the best and the greatest waypointer in the world and we need hold him in respect. The same for PMB. These two men made for us and for thousands people in the world so big effort and still somebody wants change or add something - they have enough now and they need more relax.
Some people wanting be perfect, sometimes they are too much serious and if somebody is laughing at him and do this at forum, they get this too much to them-self. Others people, when they understood theirs mistakes, they can laugh at them-self and they are not injured. Depanding of a man.

Now I'm not attacking You T Wrecks, but please more patience for SFhttp://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon10.gif.

Especially for You (I hope You mean this correct) I found something on nuclearbox. Look at the Austin's explanation to your question. I hope this can help something8).

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

Well, in a -maybe vain- attempt to get this thread a bit back towards its original topic: Thanks for the info about what the pickup timer actually means, KWo! Austin's explanations were indeed usefula and understandable - as they always are... ;)
So this fix might improve the bots' weapon pickup behaviour... let's see if there are any noticeable changes in the next dll...

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value

The definitive explanation of the pickup timer is even more simple.

This timer sets the time interval during which the bot will NOT worry about collectable items in its field of view.

This timer is periodical. For example, if you set it to 30 seconds, the bot will sample its field of view and check for items at 30s, 1min, 1min30, 2min, 2min30, etc..., but it will ignore all items in between.
Hence if your bot sees an AWP (or a bomb) lying on the ground at 35 seconds and runs past it at 50 seconds, the bot won't even have noticed it.
If however you set this timer to 5 seconds, the bot will see the item at 35 seconds, and will start running towards it at 40 seconds.

Nice avatar KWo btw :)
