Ghosts bots and stuck problems....
 

Hi !

I have a little problem with the POD-Bot 2.6mm on a linux rented server... Everything's working fine, except that the bots sometimes get invisible... I'll explain:
When you're dead, you can cycle through player's view. When it comes to a bot, sometimes the camera show you where the bot should be, but he's not there.. The problem is that he is still considered in game so you can't win by kicking him :(

The only way to solve this is to kick the bot, but I have to do this almost each round.... And if I'm not dead, I can't see if the bot has disappeared of if he's just camping somewhere...


The second problem is that bot gets stuck on floors, windows....

Here are two pictures to see the problems:

- stuck bots
- ghosts bots

Thanks,
JULIEN

Re: Ghosts bots ??
 

the stuck bots were already known about... but ghost bots.. hmm...
can you give us the version information of all the plugins and metamod.

Re: Ghosts bots ??
 

Here the information:

And it's MetamodX Linux 1.17.1....

Hope this helps.

Re: Ghosts bots ??
 

perhaps try metamod 1.17.2 and not metamodX...
also if you can..
can you try running podbot alone with mm1.17.2 and see whether it still happens?

Re: Ghosts bots ??
 

I had the same problem once with the RACC preview. It was caused because I was not freeing the pvPrivateData pointer for each new bot created. Anyway, when I handed the PB26mm code over, this code was there... unless someone removed it since 9_9

*edit*
I'm talking about the ghost bots here.

Re: Ghosts bots ??
 

If he uses linux , maybe we can give him this linux so file I got from Daiver? Maybe also for him this version will work much better? Why exactly I can't add any attachement to private message (like at some other forums)?

Hi !

The file you send me works great ! No more ghosts or stuck bots problem....

Thanks again for this !

OK. Then I will wait only for KaszpiR's and PMB's confirmations - if for them also this R2B44 linux version is working OK and I would like release R2B44 as an official version with configs, waypoints and docs
(T Wreeeeeecks... ;) ).

Re: Ghosts bots ??
 

What? The only error left in my part of the documentation is two paragraphs from CF's docs at the end of the "Common Errors" page. I forgot to delete them after finishing the new text; I had them under the new text as a reference, but now they are obsolete. The rest is OK, unless there's some other stuff I'm unaware of.

@PMB: I've never touched that private data and what not stuff...
I usually just touch what I understand or am trying to get an understanding of but not private data..

Also glad to see the stuck bot problem is fixed :D
