HPB_bot4.0 DOES work for steam

I can confirm that it works just fine with steam. It installs just like any other metamod bot. It does have 1 MAJOR bug that could be fixed though.

When an engineer builds something, bots of the same team will go all out attacking it untill they run out of ammo, then they will proceed to attack with their melee weapon. Even the engineer himself will start shooting with his shotgun after he builds it.

Becides that, the bots play the game and use the class spacific abilities very good, especially the spies...........damn them!

I'm pleased is works as expected :)
since i primarily test on 1.6 due to lak of client software, and none of my fellows plays 1.5.

Re: HPB_bot4.0 DOES work for steam

This might be because the color map of sentry guns have changed since the last TFC update... If someone could display in game the values of pEdict->v.colormap for a sentry gun of each team and change them in the source code (bot_combat.cpp, BotFindEnemy() function), that bug would go away I suppose...

"Even the engineer himself will start shooting with his shotgun after he builds it"

It's my fault :(

I didn't know that the sentry guns and the dispensers also had the FL_MONSTER flag...

To fix this, add these two lines in BotFindEnemy() in the bot_combat.cpp file: (lines starting with "context" are here to show you where to commit the changes)

Code:

(context)  if (!IsAlive (pMonster))

(context)         continue; // discard dead or dying monsters

 

                   if (strncmp ("building_", STRING (pMonster->v.classname), 9) == 0)

                          continue; // TFC: skip sentry guns and dispensers

 

(context)  vecEnd = pMonster->v.origin + pMonster->v.view_ofs;

(context)

Here's included an updated HPB_bot dll... someone gotta compile it for Linux also ;)

and here is an updated hpb_bot_mm_i586.so :D
i skip the i386 build, until someone needs it.

(b.t.w. can you allow .tar.gz and tar.bz2 files for upload too, zip kind of sucks in linux)

Cheers MeMeD

Okay thanks, the new HPB_bot has been repackaged for Windows and Linux and I added a news item on the front page :)

Re: HPB_bot4.0 DOES work for steam

Where can I download the latest HPB package? I looked on botman's site but he only has HPB_bot3.0 there.

Re: HPB_bot4.0 DOES work for steam

Ok I got it up & running but I have one simple question. Waypoints, can we download them or do we have to make them ourselves?
