Idea SturmBot v1.7 "Stosstruppe" and "Scharfschütze" Bot Class Fix - 23-10-2012

Hi Folks, First post here in the forums

I've created a fix for SturmBot v1.7 (Windows version) that fixes two annoying bugs. Directly from the included readme:

-------------------------------------------------------------
The Sturmbot v1.7 AI bot addon for Day of Defeat suffers from a problem that causes any bots that are of the Stosstruppe Axis team class (bots with a K43 rifle) to hardly ever attack.

I have previously hosted quite a few games were all of my buddies that were on the Axis team noticed this problem, saying "I've got a SturmBot here who has 0 kills and 20 deaths!"... but I simply chalked that up to "luck" (or lack thereof), and was glad that SturmBot wasn't on MY team LOL!

Recently I've performed a few tests on my own that confirm this problem with the "Stosstruppe" axis team class SturmBots. Any bots that are of this class (or have a K43 rifle for their weapon) will only occasionally use grenades, or occasionally attack with a few rifle head-butts or their pistols. But other than that, they will NEVER fire their K43 rifles.

Lastly, there is also a problem with ALL versions of SturmBot that prevents any Scharfschütze Axis team class bots (bots with a K98 sniper rifle) from spawning on any Axis Paratrooper maps.

The "cls_k98s" entry in the "Sturm_Bot.dll" file was inadvertently named "cls_sniper", and is directly responsible for this problem.

The hex-edited "Sturm_Bot.dll" file included in this archive fixes these two problems.

Anyhow, if you're so inclined:

(Edit) P.S. Two of my message threads over in the Steam forums discussing the problems:
