Hi everyone, this is my first bot(ched
) attempt so have mercy plz 9_9
I am trying to write a bot for the rival species mod. (An older non steam version, which I will later hopefully port to steam)
So far I have managed to:
1. Extract source code and build HPB_bot project using M$ Visual C++ v.6 (yay)
2. I have updated the linkfunc.cpp file with the new entity functions
3. The h_export.cpp file has been updated with the new mod path info.
4. The bot.h file has also been updated with a new #define RIVALSPECIES_DLL 6
5. The project was build successfully.
6. Moved HPB_Bot.dll to rspecies/dlls
7. Edited liblist.gam file (gamedll "dlls/HPB_bot.dll)"
As you can see I followed the Readme/tutorial which came with HPB_Bot.
Now the fun starts
When I try to load the mod I get an exception. (Looks like a null pointer exception : application tried to reference something near zero)
I can't seem to get the debugger going (even with the dedicated server as suggested in another post [hlds tried to execute privileged instuction])
As far as I can tell none of the code I have added has executed so I believe I have either set up msvc incorrectly or I am missing some step.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thx in advance
(I code better than I spell ... I hope
)
