It looks okay, yes. :)

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

Thanks! Actually, is my problem that all API calls need a RETURN_META or RETURN_META_VALUE? Whatever documentation I read last time didn't mention it but looking http://metamod-p.sourceforge.net/doc/html/coding.html it looks like everything in enginefuncs_t, GetEntityAPI and GetNewDLLFunctions should have a RETURN_META or RETURN_META_VALUE - is that right? Do I need to worry about OVERRIDE or SUPERCEDE?

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

Yes, you must return meta results and yes you need to worry about OVERRIDE and SUPERCEDE. The Metamod documentation says well how they are used. Please bare in mind that I upgraded the project file to VS 2015, I don't have older VS, so you will have to upgrade also. :P

I created a pull request with my changes. Please compile and test it out before accepting it. The bot can be used with or without Metamod now so everyone should be happy. :)

P.S. I upgraded the FakeClientCommand() function to more modern one used by most of the bots here, now you can use it as the original engine ClientCommand().

EDIT: I just fixed some nasty issue that I missed out. Pull again from the branch using the git pull --rebase command, because I amended the commit.

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

Thanks so much! I've had a look at the code and it all looks good (and reminds me how much I need to tidy it all up).
I've pushed up a patch to add Visual Studio 2008 support (I've got a bunch of other stuff that I don't want to upgrade yet and the Source SDK only works with Visual Studio 2013 or earlier).

I'll test it out next weekend.

Thanks again!

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

I made another push with some optimizations. I don't have VS2008 but I think that I updated the VS2008 project files properly.

Also there is no issue to have multiple Visual Studios installed on your box. You can install VS2015 side-by-side with VS2008 and all will be fine.

Also I think that the SourceSDK shouldn't be too hard to port to VS2015. :)

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

I've pushed several more changes that fixed wrong function calls to the gamedll when the bot is loaded as Metamod plugin. I hope that there will be no more issues.

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

Thanks, I gave it a go today with Half-Life and it all seemed to work just fine (though the bots seemed a lot more violent - maybe I'm just imagining things). I'll hopefully do some more testing with other games/mods and on Linux next weekend then merge it in.
How do I properly test MetaMod anyway? Everything seemed to work but I don't know what kind of problems I should expect.

And yeah, I might go down the path of multiple Visual Studio installs. Need more time...

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

Well, there is no some strong path to test if Metamod is working fine. If the bots join fine and play well it should be ok.

Also test it in non-metamod mode, because I made it with dual compatibility. Normal Metamod plugins cannot be loaded without Metamod but I made Sandbot in a way that it should work in both modes.

About the bots been more violent - I have nothing to do with that. :D

Re: Sandbot v0.3.1
 

Yeah okay - still, the code looks fine so I guess it should work.
I tested it without MetaMod too and it ran fine too.

Many thanks!
