FPS dependent code

Hello,
I have started coding my own bot in my free time not very long ago, its based on the sources of yapb 1, still only minor modifications, and what I noticed is that if I use this bot in a dedicated server and try to increase the server FPS with the sys_ticrate command, bots start to behave strange. I Tried a few other bots to see if these are the only ones with this problem, and I noticed problems in all other bots I tested, and the new beta of PODBot MM was the first one that was working properly at higher server FPS. So, if it's possible, could you point me to the part in the code of podbot mm that makes this, and allow me to copy it into my bot? I'm not very good at reading sources and creating new code, so I cant find it myself and I cant code it on my own.

Re: FPS dependent code

In bot.cpp in BotSpawnInit function:

PHP Code:


		
			
   pBot->fTimePrevThink = gpGlobals->time;
   pBot->fTimePrevThink2 = gpGlobals->time;
   pBot->fTimeFrameInterval = 0.0;

   pBot->i_msecval = 0;                // KWo - 17.03.2007
   pBot->f_msecvalrest = 0.0;          // KWo - 17.03.2007

And the clue is somewhere at the end of the function BotThink in bot.cpp (almost at bottom of that file):

PHP Code:


		
			
// this is Leon Hartwig's method for computing the msec value
   f_msecval = (gpGlobals->time - pBot->fTimePrevThink2) * 1000.0;
   pBot->fTimePrevThink2 = gpGlobals->time;

   i_msecvalrest = 0;                         // KWo - 17.03.2007
   i_msecval = (int) (f_msecval);             // KWo - 17.03.2007
   if (i_msecval < 10)                        // KWo - 17.03.2007
   {
      f_msecval = f_msecval - (float)(i_msecval) + pBot->f_msecvalrest;
      i_msecvalrest = (int)(f_msecval);
      pBot->f_msecvalrest = f_msecval - (float)(i_msecvalrest);
   }
   i_msecval = i_msecval + i_msecvalrest;

   if (i_msecval < 1)
      i_msecval = 1; // don't allow the msec delay to be null
   else if (i_msecval > 100)
      i_msecval = 100; // don't allow it to last longer than 100 milliseconds either

   g_engfuncs.pfnRunPlayerMove (pEdict, vecMoveAngles, pBot->f_move_speed, pBot->f_sidemove_speed, 0, pEdict->v.button, 0, (unsigned char) i_msecval);    // KWo - 25.09.2006 - thanks to THE_STORM

thanks a lot :innocent:
