Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Version 6.02.01 for Windows and Linux

Release notes:

• The main manual has been updated to include all of the new commands and CVARS.
  
  
• m_enforceclanteam has been modified as follows:
  
  m_enforceclanteam [ <ct|te> | <relaxed|strict> | <auto|manual> | off ]
  default minimum access level: clan member
  
  Default settings: off, strict, auto
  
  Usage 1:
  m_enforceclanteam [ te | ct ]
  Non clan members who are on the designated clan team, and clan members
  who are not on the designated clan team, will get blown up automatically
  at start of each round. A private message will be displayed telling
  the person they are on the wrong team and how to switch teams.
  
  Usage 2:
  m_enforceclanteam [ relaxed | strict ]
  When set to relaxed, allows clan members to join any team.
  
  Usage 3:
  m_enforceclanteam [ auto | manual ]
  By default, after all clan members leave the game, the enforcement is
  automatically turned off. This is done to allow the server to automatically
  resume normally after all of your clan members leave, otherwise the server
  will be unplayable.
  
  When set to "manual", the clan enforcement will not automatically turn off.
  
  
• Added CVAR m_kickspecbots [on|off]
  When set to "on" the server will kick spectating bots as part of the
  bot balancing feature.
  
  default: off (disabled)
  
  
• Added CVAR m_autobalanceinterval [1 .. 600] (seconds)
  
  default: 90 seconds

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

thanks a lot !!!!
Does this version work with the newest Version of EPODBOT???
or do i have to take PODBOT mm ???

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

It's untested with EPODBOT, but you can try it. Use "epodbot" in the command line to tell mEAn that you are running epodbot.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Well yes i gave it a try, but i think that it doesn´t work because always when i type in the command line that i am using epodbot it crashes:innocent::innocent:

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Wrong installation then... did you follow the instructions given on how to add epb with mean?

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

yeah i did but i´d installed epodbot with metamod don´t know if that is important....

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

I would try it out with epb since I have it already installed... but I can't even run it, and Storm couldn't fix my problem, so he's looking into it. But, if epb doesn't work, podbot_mm certainly does. :)

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

I downloaded the latest version and EPB is not a metamod plugin. To get it to work with mEAn & metamod, you put this in your command line:

+localinfo mgamedll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll +localinfo mm_gamedll epodbot/epb.dll +localinfo mbotmod epodbot

Load mEAn from the liblist.gam file.

The problem I'm having is that the DS commands as shown in the docs don't work - or they've been changed from "pb addbot" or "bot addbot" to something else.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

I guessed the DS cvar for running commands is "epb" so I tried "epb addbot" and the server just crashes, so if that's the right command to add bots, then it won't work. I suggest that you use the new metamod podbot because it definitely works.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Hey guys,

I'm using Mean with metamod (so I can run JoeBot without errors) and am having a problem with the command:
m_enforceclanteam ct
When I try to run it, I get the error:
(mEAn) Usage: m_enforceclanteam [ <ct|te> | <relaxed|strict> | <auto|manual> | off ]
Isn't my command already complying with the syntax???

Please help me out.

P.S. I'm running Mean on a dedicated LAN server.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Plz. note i'm using enforce clan team as part of:
m_botmode humanvshuman
m_clantag "[JOE]"
m_enforceclanteam ct
m_enforceclanteam manual
m_cmdlock on
joebot addbot 1
joebot addbot 1
in server.cfg to keep all joebots on the ct team. i've tried the built-in bot management but it uses old joebot commands that no longer work (like using | between command arguements). if anybody's got a better way to keep humans on one team and joebots on another please suggest it.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

The syntax looks correct. What happens if you type in "te" instead?

Try retyping in the entire command in case there's something hidden going on like use of a tab instead of a space character (the command line interpreter does not convert tabs to spaces).

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Post the new joebot syntax (or post a link to the update docs) and I'll try updating the code when I have the time.

In hindsight, the DS bot command syntax should have been in a user configurable file instead of hard coded.

The source code is available should anyone have the time and programming skills to change it.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Thanks for the reply. I havn't been around for the past 4 days so I could not reply to your post as quickly as I would have liked to.

Below is an addbot guide copied from the JoeBot help files:


addbot syntax:

addbot team model name type prefweapon
(addbot [1/2/5] [1/2/3/4] name )

example : addbot 2 2 @$3.1415rin

write 'default' for the parameter u don't want to specify

I'm no expert, but from looking at the commands mean sends I think it still uses the outdated 'command|parameter1|parameter2' syntax. The new syntax uses 'command parameter1 parameter2', ie. spaces and not bars.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

I checked, and it's using the old syntax. If all I have to do is replace the bars with spaces, then that'll be easy to change.

I'm rather busy atm so it may be a few days b4 I get around to fixing it.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Well I just fixed it since it was so easy. I'll post a beta for you to test out but I need to know if you are running linux or windows? If Linux it'll take a little longer because my linux machine is being reinstalled however the compiler may be ready (dunno). Let me know.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

I'm running Windows XP.

Thanks :)

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Here you go ...

mean_6.02.02.zip

I have not yet tested it with joebot, so give it a try and let me know if it worked.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Is it compatible with PODBot v3 and the new features?

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

I have not been following the POD development for a while now, and I have not been updating mEAn, so I really don't know. Best to ask in the POD forum as someone over there may know.

The mEAn source code is available for download if anyone wants to modify it or take it over as the developer.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

Because the command "pb addbot" has been replaced by "pb add" command (but the syntax is the same) it will not work with V3. There is a cvar pb_version - You can check what is th eversion of pb mm and than - if You can see something as V3Bxx it means it's V3, so there should be "pb add". The rest should work.

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

The source code IS available, but only for 6.02.01 (not for the latest beta - with JoeBot support).

Re: Version 6.02.01 for Linux and Windows
 

So how do I change the source code into the .dll, I think I've made all the required changes to fix the podbot controls.
