YaPB2 Updates
 

Hello!

Yes, 2.55b is a fail. Buggy, laggy, crashing here and there. So i decided to release updated version for YaPB. Let's say 2.6 :)

Here's the current changelog:

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Nice, keep up a good work. Btw, your site is down - http://yapb.jeefo.net/, can you upload all files again? And on 2.55 beta iirc there was issue with repeating names of bots (16 bots).

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

1) Can you look at cs_havana or cs_backalley? It seems CT are camping near the spawn (for some time). CT likes to camp on hostage maps? 2) Another issue from 2.55 is that bots are stealing my hostages 3) Bots walk into windows with hostages (why?). 4) Bots on cs_assault (and on other maps?) don't care about hostages that much. 5) On cs_assault CT often storm front entrance and die a lot there, is not they should go thru other ways more often? 6) Sometimes bot tries to sit on a place where other bot is sitting.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

This bot camping problem (on at least hostage maps) is severe, both CT and T very often camp in wrong places (often on spawn). Very pronounced problem on cs_backalley. They just don't want to fight :/

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Can you try new version?

http://yapb.jeefo.net/ci/project/release/yapb.dll

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

I will look at it now, just need to change my yapb+pbmm bot config.

EDIT: Ok. I've tested cs_backalley and cs_havana, CT bots leave the spawn much faster now. Btw there is a problem with a tube on cs_backalley, bots often come in numbers and stuck there because some bot just blocks the way sitting in the tube, or they all jump in a tube, trying to unblock, after some time they usually unblock but it is funny to watch and takes time.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

BTW, if you are reviving YAPB site, please, make download links accessible for webarchive (=no javascript for links), so it can archive it and be a backup if server goes offline. There's also this site that you can update with new info and downloads.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

BTW, strange bug: Start local game with bots as spectator, bot quota is 17, adding another bot to 18, at first round I alt-esc into windows while bots are playing, when I came back into CS there were no bots o_0 Can't reproduce.

ALso, just now: alt-tabing back to CS with YAPB at cs_assault (as spec) and it freezes after few sec after the hostage use (takes 1.5GB of RAM and 100% of 1 core), dies after that.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

map? and give me your's waypoint for that map

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

ok, i will

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

cs_assault. waypoint is attached.

EDIT: Another crash, alt-tabbed back to CS when CT was near hostage and it freezed at that moment. Could be hostage related.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

ok, i can reproduce, will try to fix

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

While I'm testing it now, here are few things:

+ bots shooting from vertical ladders (for example on cs_assault), accuracy is nil and bot should either get down or get up and shoot properly.
+ sometimes bot shoots or kills another bot and after that aims at the next enemy that he could not possibly see and even fires few times (usually after killing the enemy).
+ What the obsession with "reporting in", sometimes they like it a lot.
+ On cs_assault in a tube, bot with sniper rifle was trying hard to go to the left tube but failed and went forward instead.

EDIT: No crash so far. Will test more.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Thanks for the reports. If possible, can you report bugs to github issues?

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Have not registered on github yet, but when I do, I will report.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Another problem on de_dust, few bots try constantly to get up on box on spawn behind them and jump to another box that is higher, but after that they go down fast and repeat again (or leave). What the deal?

Waypoint attached.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Can you record demo?

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Here

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

try to use waypoint from podbotmm

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

I've tried and I see they are still obsessed with those spawn boxes but to a lesser degree.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

try new build, same link

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

I think problem persists. If few CTs want to camp at bombsite at spawn = not a problem, but why they don't choose their place (box, corner, whatever) and stop walking/jumping around near boxes/on boxes/between boxes all the time and after that leaving the damn thing/place or be killed when jumping to those boxes. :/

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Ok, I will look into this problem more closely next week.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

@Fixer:
can you verify that all problems you're discribed still persists in current build?

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Let me see:
CT bot camping at spawn: fixed on cs_havana, somewhat crappy on cs_backalley, reintroduced differenly on de_dust after your last change (they freeze at spawn and just stand).
Crash near hostages/Alt-Tab: not observed yet.
CT box problem at de_dust: problem persist.
Tube at cs_assault problem is not fixed: bot goes into the tube, trouble start after that.
Ladder climbing while shooting: probably still problematic.
Some bugs that I forgot:
Bots often walk very closely to each other, following behind (for example) very closely, making traffic jams, can not walk around.
Problems with jumping on unreachable boxes.
Struggle with C4 defuse on boxes on de_dust.

I've added some short demos that could help.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

camping at spawn fixed in current build, crashes to it's seems
the box problem and bomb defuse on boxes is a more waypoint issue, than the bot one, i have added check, so if bot's fails to reach waypoint two times in a row, bot will find new goal for himself.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

Thank you, I will look at it at Friday.

Re: YaPB2 Updates
 

I've looked at it today for a hour on different maps, what I see:
+ My earliest problem with CT bot camping/slow start at cs_backalley and cs_havana is fixed imho.
+ About bot defusing on box on de_dust, interesting is that when on box already, bot can't defuse bomb on it, just jumping above it.
+ CT bot with hostages walks thru window and loosing them (for example from second floor window on cs_mansion).
+ Two bots take knifes and walk in circles around each other endlessly.
+ Tube at cs_assault - bot goes in, I'm not sure it ever leaves it, seems ladder problem for both T/Ct.
+ Tube traffic jam at cs_backalley and possibly other maps.
+ Bot on bot camping (add check here too?).
+ Sometimes (rarely) bot throw frag granades away 180 deg from the enemy (?) not sure o_0 but I caught it few times with frag/flash on cs_assault.
+ Very rarely bot is walking while looking backwards for 5 seconds, this is some kind of tactic? Tunnel in de_dust.
