Buytable SCREWED.

[V or 'Tex]

All my CTs buy Shields first, then MAYBE buy something else.

Ts are fine, they usually get AKs and whatnot but that's normal.

[stefanhendriks]

hehe, yep... i changed some shield compatible code. I wanted to let them buy shields... you should change the source for that.

[stefanhendriks]

The bots do not screw up buying at all, i have a nice buytable which lets CT's buy shields, but not too much. Quite fun. I will lower it a bit and provide a buytable.ini file, perhaps just package WIP #11 now... hmm

[V or 'Tex]

Why do my bots always buy shields, then?

If it isn't broken, tell me what stat in the ini files determines how often they buy shields.

[stefanhendriks]

Here is my buytable.ini (note, it is shorter now, because the CS 1.6 bug is fixed)

# REALBOT: COUNTER-STRIKE PRIORITY BUY TABLE
#
# [WEAPON_TYPE]
# Price=<see below>
# Priority=% importance.
#
# Price is important! This is the price they take into account before even checking
# the priority queue. Do NEVER set the price lower then the actual price in Counter-Strike
#
# Priority is also important, but do also mind that the ORDER of weapons is important aswell!
#
# The buy code automaticly understands if its a secondary/primary gun. If the code cannot
# identify a weapon (due an update of Counter-Strike), the weapon type is automaticly
# UNKOWN and not taken into account in the buy code, to prevent odd behaviour.
#
# TIPS:
# Always take ammo money into account with prices, as i did. So a gun is 3000, do + 200 to
# make sure the bot will have money left for ammo.
#
# Do not edit the C4 and the KNIFE!
# !! A maximum of 32 weapon types is allowed in this file !!

I even DELETED the entry for shield.


The bots still buy shields EVERY ROUND. EVERY SINGLE ROUND!

[stefanhendriks]

be more specific, how many bots buy the shields? All of them?

You should not delete the entry for shield btw. Anyway, its odd because they do not buy a dang thing here if i set the priority to 0.

[V or 'Tex]

All of them.


And I tried priority 0.


Sometimes... two or three will not buy the shield. (Out of 8 bots on the team)

But usually 7/8 or all of them buy shields.

Moreover, everybody on the T team thinks that once a shield drops it'd be the sweetest thing in the world to pick it up and use it until they die.

In the same vein, I suspect that some crashes with build 3051 are linked to the weapon system...

On my Linux, I have the following crash info:

0x438bdd09 in CBasePlayer::HasPlayerItem () from .../hlds_l/cstrike/dlls/cs_i386.so

So, it seems that RB could corrupt the data structure of the CS mod (like a NULL pointer instead of a valid one) so that a call to HasPlayerItem (part of the HL engine) fails. ???

Not really useful info..., I know :'(

Well I haven't experienced any crashes... but it is really annoying because I can't use RB anymore... the CTs suck at using the shields but they buy them every single round so there's no point in playing as CT or T. It's either too easy or your allies do absolutely nothing.
