hacking monster_plugin

ok so I guess I just dont get it...

I've decided I'd like to change monster_plugin in a way that allows for team based monsters. To just test things for now I've changed barney to be assigned to v.team = 1. This works, I see his v.team assignment when I query using pmtools...

so next step is to hack monsters.cpp in the BestVisibleEnemy() function to ignore players on same team as the monsters v.team right?

ok so here is a my modified chunk of that function...

Code:

  edict_t *CMBaseMonster :: BestVisibleEnemy ( void )

  {

          int                                         iNearest;

          int                                         iDist;

          int                                         iBestRelationship;

     edict_t *pReturn;

     edict_t *pEnt;

     int edictList_index = 0;

                  

                  iNearest = 8192;// so first visible entity will become the closest.

     

                  iBestRelationship = R_NO;

            

     pReturn = NULL;

  

     while (edictList_index < m_edictList_count)

                  {

            pEnt = m_edictList[edictList_index];

    

            if ( UTIL_IsPlayer(pEnt) )

            {

                   // it's a player...

  

                            // testing

                            printf("*** MONSTER TEAM IS  %i\n",pev->team);

                          printf("*** MONSTER'S ENEMY TEAM IS %i\n",pEnt->v.team);

  

                          // lets see if this monster shares same team as player if team based mod...

                          if ( ( pev->team != pEnt->v.team ) || ( pEnt->v.team == 0 ) )

                            {

                                          iDist = ( pEnt->v.origin - pev->origin ).Length();

     

                                          if ( iDist <= iNearest )

                                              {  

                                                          iNearest = iDist;

                                                          iBestRelationship = R_NM; // player is always nemsis

                                                          pReturn = pEnt;

                                              }

                            } // end team based checking...

            }

            else if (pEnt->v.euser4 != NULL)

You can see I am printing the monster team and player team to the console, that part works just fine... Just after that I have an if statement to determine if this enemy is actually an enemy (not on my team and not on no team) and it appears that it is THAT if statement that is causing my server to crash. What the heck am I doing wrong?

btw that testing console output does work...

*** MONSTER TEAM IS 1
*** MONSTER'S ENEMY TEAM IS 2

right now I have barneys team statically set to 1... I see no errors before crash, I dont even get that MONSTER TEAM IS part before crash unless I comment the if statement I added... I dont get it. pulling out hair here and know its something simple/stupid

Re: hacking monster_plugin

oh and server dont crash if I dont spawn any barneys if that helps...

Re: hacking monster_plugin

did you check if pev or pEnt is NULL?
[edit]
or maybe a memory error from somewhere else...
[/edit]

Re: hacking monster_plugin

first off keep in mind that I am a php dev and a newbie C hacker...

but

printf("*** MONSTER TEAM IS %i\n",pev->team);
printf("*** MONSTER'S ENEMY TEAM IS %i\n",pEnt->v.team);

these return data...

Re: hacking monster_plugin

comment out the part of the code that is causing the crashing and see if it still crashes..

Re: hacking monster_plugin

yeah did that. see code in first post? If I comment out the if statement all is fine... or if I dont comment it and dont spawn any barneys its fine so I know its that if statement...

// lets see if this monster shares same team as player if team based mod...
if ( ( pev->team != pEnt->v.team ) || ( pEnt->v.team == 0 ) )
{

Re: hacking monster_plugin

weird... this code is NOT crashing...

Code:

          if ( UTIL_IsPlayer(pEnt) )

           {

                  // it's a player...

 

 

                           // lets see if this monster shares same team as player if team based mod...

                           if((pev->team != pEnt->v.team) || (pEnt->v.team == 0))

                           {

                                  // testing

                                  printf("*** MONSTER TEAM IS  %i\n",pev->team);

                                  printf("*** MONSTER'S ENEMY TEAM IS  %i\n",pEnt->v.team);

                           }

 

                                             iDist = ( pEnt->v.origin - pev->origin ).Length();

 

                                             if ( iDist <= iNearest )

                                             {

                                                             iNearest = iDist;

                                                             iBestRelationship = R_NM; // player is always nemsis

                                                             pReturn = pEnt;

                                             }

           }

Re: hacking monster_plugin

i am not entirely sure why it crashes, though something tells me that somehow the information you try to print is not initialized properly.

Try this, first try to output the first sentence, but comment out the second one. Then try the second one only and comment out the first one. DO NOT change team data or whatever, simply try to print out the data.

If that crashes, it means the data is not initialized. Make sure it IS.

The piece of code in the latest post does a check on this data, thats why it is probably not crashing. Though i wonder if it works like you want it to work?

Re: hacking monster_plugin

shouldn't that be

Code:

                                 printf("*** MONSTER TEAM IS %d\n",pev->team);

                                 printf("*** MONSTER'S ENEMY TEAM IS %d\n",pEnt->v.team);

instead ?

Re: hacking monster_plugin

I was under the impression that d and i are both int, but none the less that portion of the test code is working correctly...

Re: hacking monster_plugin

nm took a diff approach and have something working now

Re: hacking monster_plugin

Hello
not sure if this is where I go, I`d like to get the monsters to be TEAM SPECIFIC

I had the "plugin_blatt_monsters3.5" in my listen server & could use "targetteam/1" or "targetteam/2" & they would only attack enemy team.Then I seen that "monster_plug_expension_1.2" and put that in.{I really like the monsters in that}
but I can`t do the specific team thing,is there a way to do it? have the newest
AdminMod
Metamod v1.17.3
monster v3.00.00
chickenmod-1.0.5.1
stripper2 v1.00.00
FoxBot v698
WinXP home with service pk2 Play TFC. If anyone could help me I`d appreciate it.
If I have to I will go back to the 3.5 as a last resort.
Thank you, Mack

Re: hacking monster_plugin

see this:

http://forums.bots-united.com/showth...monster+plugin

Best I can do for ya, I've not worked on monster plugin in ages and probably wont be doing any future work either. You might do a little more searchin round too as someone could have ran with that project since I made that post back in 2004.

Re: hacking monster_plugin

OK,
Thanks for the reply, I will see if I can hunt anything else up
I can always go back to the 3.5, but haven`t decided yet
THANKS AGAIN.

Re: hacking monster_plugin

for the VC 2005...:

On all errors such as:

change such lines from:

Code:

SetThink( AccelerateThink );

Code:

SetThink( CApache::AccelerateThink );

and so on...

but don't forget to change CApache to the class name this functions called from...

THX, i will try this, hope im not going to make bigger mess in the code :p do i should enable optimizations in vs++ 2005?

first goto extdll.h

and after ifndef/defined, add code

do something like that:

Code:

change to:

for (; i < gpGlobals->maxClients; i++)

for other errors like:
