Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

YAY!!! I just checked and it wasnt up yet like 5 minutes ago... and wah-la...

I have to work in the morning but I just HAVE to test this new build out NOW!!!
I'll let you all know how it goes...8D :D

Awesome... some minor bugs but you'll always have those... plugin unloaded on mapchange, will work it out in the morning... GOOD WORK!!! At least the bots are playable now. Very smart until a t plants bomb. (stands dead on it with knife out...) Will test on cs map tomorrow... Had a good game, went 57-17 with 3t on 5ct (1 human on t). I imagine it would be even better with a human on each side. Keep up the good work!

(steam)HLDS with:
[ 1] AMX v0.9.7 (with like 30 plugins)
[ 2] WinHL-Booster v1.46
[ 3] Adminmod v2.50.59
[ 4] RealBot v3005
[ 5] CS STATS v0.9.7
[ 6] FUN v0.9.8
[ 7] Vexd Util. Modu v0.2.0.7
[ 8] XtraFun v1.2

PS is statsme incompatible wiith any of these (besides csstats)???

EDIT: I moved the realbot line in my plugins.ini (metamod) to the top and this seems to fix the mapchange AND meta refresh (plugin un-load) problem!!!
good for now! back to work, be back soon!!! I'll leave my server up for anyone who wants to try... 64.218.91.178:27016 de_dust w/ WIP#9

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

When I start with this new .dll. I get hlds.exe has generated errors, then it shuts down. I'll go shut off some amx stuff. The other .dll loaded up ok but the bots were killing themselves.



Thanks,

I turned off all mods and tried it with just cs with no luck. Stops at Assuming you have cs 1.6. I have latest metamod from your site. Windows 2k server.
HLDS.

i added: internet 1 , skill -1 , min_bots 2 and max_bots 10, and I have tried with these commands removed.

NEVER MIND HUMAN ERROR. WHAT ELSE. STILL LEARNING.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

The mapchange unloading problem is back, and meta refresh doesn't fix it any more.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

A$$A$$IN: Did you read my post up there^^^

I moved my realbot line in my metamod plugins.ini to the first line
here:
win32 ..\realbot\dll\realbot_mm.dll
win32 addons\amx\dlls\amx_mm.dll
win32 addons\adminmod\dlls\admin_mm.dll
etc...

Realbot on aim_ak-colt is bad a$$!!! VERY FIERCE fire-fights!:P

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Update: I restarted the server on de_dust, did meta refresh, then changelevel de_dust. The bots survived the level change, and the next 3 map changes (to different maps) as well. Go figure...

Realbot is the only metamod plugin I'm running, so yes it's first on the list.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

what steps exactly did u take to get it to work.

i put the realbot plugin first in plugins.ini
and i start the server on de_dust and add bots
but when i meta refresh they die and the plugin doesn't reload

i'm using linux and metamod and statsme

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

The wander code could use some improving, the bots right now get glitched in spots where a simple jump would solve it. Like on de_train near the T spawn where that right staircase has a railing. The railing can be jumped over, but one bot just stayed there the whole round. Another spot is the bombsite that is indoors-ish (not the tunnel one)... The elevated platforms give the bots a hell of a time, often getting them stuck in one spot going back and forth until end of round.

Those problems aside, they appear to be whuppin my ass.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Get but when I check for new RBN & RBX files in the folder they are written ( Folder for Realbot under hlserver, possible your code is not set to recognize dedicated servers folder?). Finding TE learning nodes ok but CT having problems. CT wanders at spawn point or stuck. TE will hunt down CT and kill them. TE learned to plant bombs right away. Note: I did run around map on both sides to create nodes. Also tried deleting RBN & RBX files.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Ok I extracted the latest WIP to my hlserver/cstrike/dlls folder but in meta list, it shows as 2097 and not 3005. I also tried deleting all copies of the realbot_mm.dll & extracted it again to no avail. What gives?

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

according to the doku, the WIP-DLL does NOT go to [HLserverroot]\[mod]\dlls
but to [HLserverroot]\RealBot\dll

DLL has been planted ;-)
get to test the new version today.
keep up your g00d work!!!

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

well someone else's problem actually solved mine. i had the same problem with the bots still dying with 9.0 installed. I just had to move it to one folder down and the version corrected its self. The bots are dumber than hell though but i guess i gotta take the time to train them.

keep up the good work though.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

stefan godwork! :D

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Nice work.

A bid bug I noticed that in (very) close range fire fights, the bots aim slightly over each others heads, until finally one of those gets a flukey headshot :)


RB is now by far the best bot for CS.

Cant wait till next release :)

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Well, i am glad i see so few 'bug reports' , so i will add new features soon. (soon=when i have time) ;)

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

hiho again...

have done some brief testing.
with steam v1.1.2.3 the server crashed every time i'd added a bot.
however, steam v1.1.2.4 works well with WIP #9.

funny... partly the bots are really intelligent.. but partly they're as
dumb as a log.
they don't manage to open the doors in de_rats (CT side) for example.
by the way...
running only
Metamod 1.17
StatsMe v2.8.0.1
RB WIP #9 (loaded first)
on windoze 2K prof. with Steam CS 1.6

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

The latest STEAM patch changed a lot of functions, including the areas where bots would access data and how it is accessed.

As a result, WIP#9 will only work with the latest version.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

iam still confused in who to stop them from dieing???:( in 1.6

all i got is

-steam
-rb 9.0
-mm.dill
-rb ai 1.0

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Ok I reinstalled realbot then installed the latest WIP 3005 and it's the only metamod plugin loading right now and it STILL shows as 2097?!?! WTH??
Please help.
Yes my realbot folder is under hlserver. Also when I right click on the new dll & go to properties, it says the dll was created on feb 8th. Any ideas?

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

I had the same thing until i moved it outside of the mod folder so that my location is c:\hlserver\realbot.

and make sure that ur location is right in the metamod plugins folder. should be win32 ../realbot/dll/realbot_mm.dll RealBot.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

richel, as mentioned in my post, my re4albot folder is under hlserver & not hlserver/cstrike and also the plugin.ini line is right as well.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Well, if its showing 2097 (created on feb 8th), that is WIP#8.5. wrong dll! un-zip again making sure it un-zips to HLServer\Realbot\dll\ (or whatever your realbot dll folder is named). try deleting the old (8.5) dll. Make sure none of your pathnames have typos as well. If all else fails, re-download the zip file and take it from the top.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Got a bug for ya maby someone else has had the problem too.
I run a dedicated server on a P4 2.66 1gig of ram i have the bots working fine but when I let the bots run wile im not home the bots seem to be getting kicked.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Bliss

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

dead, I did delete the original folder & start over then upgraded to the latest dll which in in hlserver/realbot/dll folder. I've even tried deleting all realbot.dll's & realbot_mm.dlls & replaced with the latest which gave me the same problem.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

What is the size of your realbot_mm.dll ?
Also search for other files with the same name...

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Ok it's taken me several tries but I finally got it. The one time I dled the latest version yesterday, I extracted it to desktop & it said feb 8th not the 17th. Not sure wth was going on with that. But I finally got it now. Ok everything seems to be working fine, bots are reading my original rbn & rbx files & so far not getting kicked.
Bots are still getting randomly kicked.....

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

i havent been able to install WIP9 because my system is screwed, (read about it in the otf) but did stefan change the name, because that might be the problem.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Change what name???

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

DreamLord34: How did you fix it. I have exactly the same issue, right down to ther versioning on the dll. Did you re-download? or just unpack the zip again?

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

I saved my original data folder to desktop, deleted all traces of the realbot_mm.dll then reinstalled RB AI then updated to latest WIP.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Yep. Tried that. Still don't get the versioning or date thing with the DLL though.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Where is your realbot folder?

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

C:\Program Files\Counter Strike\Realbot

My CS Mod folder is at C:\Program Files\Counter Strike\Cstrike,
HLDS is installed to C:\Program Files\Counter Strike

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

So you're running a listenserver I take it?
If I am not mistaken, realbot should be under the counterstrike folder & not the cstrike folder.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Running HLDS Playing Counter Strike. Installed to C:\Program Files\Counter Strike
Installed Metamod v1.17 (Tested with Various Mods OK)
Removed all MODS from Metamod plugins.ini

Installed RBAI 1.0 to C:\Program Files\Counter Strike (definately not C:\Program Files\Counter Strike\cstrike)
DID NOT Activate for any version.
Added admin_bot_protection 1 to server.cfg
Copied realbot.dll to C:\Program Files\Counter Strike\Cstrike\dlls
added localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/realbot.dll to autoexec.cfg

Extracted realbot_mm.dll to C:\Program Files\Counter Strike\RealBot\dll
Added win32 ..\realbot\dll\realbot_mm.dll RealBot to C:\Program Files\Counter Strike\cstrike\addons\metamod\plugins.ini

Launched HLDS.EXE -console -game cstrike
Realbot reported as installed in the correct directory.

Bots initially appear to work until I try to connect then HLDS hangs. Also, if left for long enought the bots start mass suiciding again.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

When you do meta list in console, what version does it show for RB?

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

meta list reports

RealBot RUN - realbot_mm.dll v2097 ini Start ANY

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Try this, search for & delete any & all realbot_mm.dlls that on on the harddrive. Then replace them with the latest version.

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Done, there was only one realbot_mm.dll and it was in the correct place.

I deleted it, then emptied Recycle Bin, then researched the HD No realbot_mm.dll anywhere.

Downloaded the file again, unzipped to C:\Program Files\Counter Strike\Realbot\dll

Ran up HLDS... meta list reports as v2097...

Re: Work In progress (WIP) #9
 

Open the zip file again & tell me what the date beside it says.....
took me a few tries downloading from the wip#9 download link before I got wip#9 dated feb 17th.
