New Version :D
 

hey PM,

now that you're hosted at bots-united and many people will join (I am sure :) ),
I'll be the first to ask what has changed since the last (playable) version =)

Well, I remember your very first release when your bots were..erm.. in a VERY early stage :D Then you released a MUCH better version with many improvements (I like bots I can play all maps with ).
Over the months you got much better at programming I think and you got quite a reputation at botman's ;)

So, I hope you were able to at least partially fullfill your goals for your next version of the RACC bot :) What I've read in botmans forum from time to time sounds good so far.

Edit: I wish Everyone a Happy New Year :)

have you tried his latest version(with a l33t navagation) ? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~botman/y...splay&num=4953)

i cant dl the secondary branch racc full or stripped version :( pity cause i wanna c dis navigation

Re: New Version :D
 

use the primary branch's template #2, it's the same navigation (waypointless). In the template #2, the A* pathfinder is working, but the bots don't use it yet. And the AI is the secondary branch AI (calamitous)... you'll be warned ;)

else wait and see :)

when opening the template #2 exe theres a windows error saying:

...\racc-template-2.exe not a valid win32 application :|

its proly not dl'ing properly cause i only get a size of 21kb, i've bin re-dl'ing the last 2 days. 8o

might b my end of the line but dont know. btw i have windows xp if this matters

oh and just so u know, problem for the secondary branch is "http 404 not found" :D

Re: New Version :D
 

Right, looks like it has not been correctly uploaded...

... I must really change my FTP software, it's not the first time this happens ! >:(

I'm re-uploading it. It does 4 megabytes, and I'm behind a modem so it may take some time. Be patient :)

np, patient is my middle name! ;)

Re: New Version :D
 

sorry sorry, me again.

i got it now, set it up for metamod but wen i set up a lan game i get a message saying something like:

inilogfile(): unable to open log file ("racc/release/message.log") :'(

the file is present, full 'o text (dont know if its meant to cause i havent started a game yet). is there something i haven't done? ???:(



also i found patch exe in 'install/release' folder. wats this for?

Re: New Version :D
 

well how did you install it ?

It is not a metamod plugin, you have to put an entry in the liblist.gam, like this :

gamedll "../racc/release/your_mod/release/racc.dll"

the "messages.log" file is a file I use to send debug messages that help me a lot during the development of the bot. You can safely delete it, as it should be created each time you run the bot.

The "patch.exe" tool is supposed to be a tool to patch the liblist.gam automatically, but I wrote that in a hurry and I never tested if it really works. Look at the source code for details (the .c file) there must be commentings that tell how to use it.
