How so, you can't get the template 4 to work ?

Re: hpbbot template 3 question
 

it only spawns a green sprite

i use the same code for template 4 as for 3

how can i get it work with steam?

Re: hpbbot template 3 question
 

The unmodified template 4 should work in HL, Steam or not, I tested it myself. The bot spawning code hasn't changed at all between version 3 and 4.

If you really can't make it work, you should consider using metamod, and make your bot a metamod plugin. Get the HL bot developer kit from the filebase, it compiles a metamod bot for HL out of the box.

If the "official" metamod DLL doesn't support your friend's mod, you can use the unofficial metamod-P one that works with all mods.

well
i tried it again

the EXACT same code works for template 3 but for template 4 it doesn´t work

in template 3 the bots spawn in freefighting

in template 4 they only stay as spectators or dont appear.

i´ve done everything which is mentioned in the readme.txt but it doesn´t work with template 4

what do i need to do to make template 3 work with steam

or is there someone who can make me basic bots(that they spawn in team and freefight)

Re: hpbbot template 3 question
 

Are you trying this in HLDM or in your friend's mod ?

Re: hpbbot template 3 question
 

in my friends mod

Re: hpbbot template 3 question
 

try it in HLDM first. The HPB_bot was meant to work for that mod.

If you want to port it to another mod you have to
a) add the missing entities in linkfunc.cpp using the LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS() macro
b) change the way the bot detects a player's team, if appropriate
c) make the relevant changes to the bot code so that the bot can browse the in-game menus, if there are some.

omg you dont get what i mean.

how can it be that the EXACT code works for template 3 but doesn´t for template 4?

i just want to know what to do that template 3 works with steam too

Re: hpbbot template 3 question
 

Compare both templatev3 and templatev4 , as simple as that ...
