Default Re: bot coding in CS? - 23-03-2004

I learned the HL BOT code by just looking at it for hours and hours.
Browsing through the code and flowing functions in the code looking up variable names. writing down what they mean or stand for (as i thought as it was), then again looking at it for hours and hours. and browsing more through the code. again absorbing variable and funtion names (etc etc.)

After weeks (months) i tried to change one little thingy.
Eureka it worked.

By then the story repeated it self.
Trying to understand the code (what variables mean and where they come from in the code.)

Valve VERC
botmans forums
various other C and C++ sites
and now .::Bots United::.
Where most helpfull, they all helped me in understanding wtf i was doing.

The SDK or Bot code has some comments in them that help also.
Reading Botmans "readme" was/is the BEST ever that got me started.
Thanks again botman ( I think every body should read that file once before starting to code bots.)

I don't think there are tuts about how to code bots.
Hence that why we are all here.
It is C code rest is just made up variables and funtions by a VALVE coder or botman.
Only the comments or the coder him self can explain it.
It's all about figuring it out.
