hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

download hpb template 4 converted to metamod & cleaned from http://dubb-coding.8bit.co.uk/botman_template_4_mm.7z :D .
"you might need to download 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org to decompress the archive".

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

What do you mean by "cleaned" ? Were there bugs ?

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

wow , great job dude !

By the way , there are severe bug , you should reset the msec stuff every round ( I advised you to do so )

And this is an old bug of HPB_template

in bot_navigate.cpp the function BotChangePitch

pEdict->v.v_angle.x = current;

We have to add this line below the above line else the pitch angle we set wont have any use

pEdict->v.angles.x = pEdict->v.v_angle.x / 3;

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

just take a look no extern vars every where now all defined in bot.h it`s so much more readable enjoy ;).

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

added a couple of fixes thanks to rifleman & cleaned a little bit more.

done reset the msec at worldspawn when the gpGlobals->time starts from 0.0.

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

hmm, you'd better call this your own template, and not the "HPB template" anymore. This because botman did not want his bot to support Counter-Strike, and the msec problem you're talking about affects Counter-Strike (and thus round-based games) only.

No, this is not needed because the bot's body angles are set already at the end of each BotThink, before the RunPlayerMove call. Doing it again here is redundant.

It's nice that you care about CS players, though, but I think you should fork from the official HPB template and call this another name instead.

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

actually there's no need to reset the msec value every round at all, but if you defined the msec as global variable instead of the way the original HPB bot did you need to reset them to zero every map start.

Code:

   // make the body face the same way the bot is looking

   pEdict->v.angles.y = pEdict->v.v_angle.y;

 

   // save the previous speed (for checking if stuck)

   pBot->prev_speed = pBot->f_move_speed;

 

   BotFixIdealPitch (pEdict);

   BotFixIdealYaw (pEdict);

   BotFixBodyAngles (pEdict);

   BotFixViewAngles (pEdict);

 

   g_engfuncs.pfnRunPlayerMove (pEdict, pEdict->v.v_angle, pBot->f_move_speed,

                                                                0, 0, pEdict->v.button, 0, g_fMsecVal);

   return;

}

Pardon ?

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

well yes, you are right, it's my fault. I said this because it was really planned to put it there when botman allowed me to update his template but looks like I forgot to do it. And Whistler is right about the msecval too. The global msecval needs to be reset each time a new map starts. But since this is done in StartFrame already, there's no need to do it again in DispatchSpawn.

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

forget about it ... PMB , but maybe you mean the HPB_bot not the template :)

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

Yes man , I found another bug , you didn't intercept the hltv message at all in engine.cpp...

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

uploaded the botman template 4 metamod final (fixed not hooking hltv bug)
http://dubb-coding.8bit.co.uk, added hlai_mm template v1.0 (much more easier to add mod support) & bot10 updated for HL SDK v2.3
Dubb :D.

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

the link does not work

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

botman doesn't need to intercept the HLTV network message because the HPB_bot is not meant for Counter-Strike, and this network message is Counter-Strike specific only.

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

log onto http://dubb-coding.8bit.co.uk for downloads.
intalling hl2 right now went out and bought it today hopefully by the end of the week i will be able to get a bot template working, need to download the huge sdk first:'(.

pm hooked for other bot coder`s the might want to do a CS bot.

He can make a check function if we are running the bots on CS then to unclude HLTV.
Simple :)

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

the template only hooks hltv message if mod id is cs, just been playing cs:source the new hl engine is amazing love the havoc physics engine.

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

I think you didn't intercept it correctly , I try logging sth when the hltv msg is sent , but nothing response , maybe its not your fault

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

my bad typo error "HTLV" to "HLTV" all is fixed now.

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

Why always double-post ??!! Ignore this

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

no it isn't , your pfnStart.. should look like this , for CS

Code:

  if (ed)

          {

         index = UTIL_GetBotIndex (ed);

   

   // is this message for a bot?

   if (index != -1)

   {

        botMsgFunction = NULL;         // no msg function until known otherwise

        botMsgEndFunction = NULL;  // no msg end function until known otherwise

        botMsgIndex = index;           // index of bot receiving message

        

        if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "VGUIMenu", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_VGUI;

        else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "ShowMenu", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_ShowMenu;

        else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "CurWeapon", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_CurrentWeapon;

        else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "AmmoX", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_AmmoX;

        else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "AmmoPickup", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_AmmoPickup;

        else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "Damage", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_Damage;

        else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "Money", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_Money;

        else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "ScreenFade", NULL))

         botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_ScreenFade;

                        }

          }

   else if (msg_dest == MSG_ALL)

          {

                 botMsgFunction = NULL;  // no msg function until known otherwise

                 botMsgIndex = -1;           // index of bot receiving message (none)

   

                 if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "DeathMsg", NULL))

                        botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_DeathMsg;

          }

   else

   {

   // Steam makes the WeaponList message be sent differently

                 botMsgFunction = NULL;  // no msg function until known otherwise

                 botMsgIndex = -1;           // index of bot receiving message (none)

   if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "WeaponList", NULL))

          botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_WeaponList;

                 else if (msg_type == GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "HLTV", NULL))

   botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_HLTV;

   }

And theres some problem with the template hltv intercepting function (bot_client.cpp) , look for fixed one in the HPB_bot forum

And yes , another big bug in your template , all command like "waypoint" , "pathwaypoint", "observer" etc etc are unusable , only those you register with metamod is usable

Re: hpb template 4 metamod & cleaned

uploaded a fixed version, hltv message bug fixed & added a simple cmd parser
the only major problem is steam keeps exiting cs when i start up a lan server similar to what happens with an invalid game dll in liblist.gam maybe it`s a buffer overrun in metamod because the dir is very deep for steam.
