BotClient_CS_HLTV in HPB_template 4 does not work !

[Rifleman]

void BotClient_CS_HLTV(void *p, int bot_index)
{
   static int state = 0;   // current state machine state
   static int players;
   int index;
   if (state == 0)
	  players = *(int *) p;
   else if (state == 1)
   {
	  // new round in CS 1.6
	  if ((players == 0) && (*(int *) p == 0))
	  {
		 for (index = 0; index < 32; index++)
		 {
			if (bots[index].is_used)
			   BotSpawnInit (&bots[index]); // reset bots for new round
		 }
	  }
   }
}

NOTE : This code does not work ! I have try it for many times ! Why this happen , please help me to fix this error !:'(

I't might help a bit if you would tell as what error&warning messages do you get

void BotClient_CS_HLTV(void *p, int bot_index)
{
   static int state = 0;   // current state machine state
   static int players;
   int index;
   
   if (state == 0)
	  players = *(int *) p;
   else if (state == 1)
   {
	  // new round in CS 1.6
	  if ((players == 0) && (*(int *) p == 0))
	  {
		 for (index = 0; index < 32; index++)
		 {
			if (bots[index].is_used)
			{
			   BotSpawnInit (&bots[index]); // reset bots for new round   
			   PrintMessage("Round ended\n");
			}
		 }
	  }
   }
}

Okay okay , when I put a PrintMessage function (the function print some kind of text to a file) , I found that the botspawninit are not called for the bot , I dont know why , but I think the problem comes from the code since I sure that there are no problem with the function code

If you log the HLTV messages to a file with the packet details, especially the values for the 2 first packets (state = 0 and state = 1), you will figure out your problem more easily. Maybe the HLTV message changed recently in Counter-Strike.

Sending HLTV messages to players at each start of a new round is very CS specific, also.

Bug FIXED !!! !!!8D

First , I checked the engine function , the hltv is not sent with a edict.But why in hpb_template 4 , the

			 else if (msg_type == message_HLTV)
				 botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_HLTV;

is under the

if (ed)

, I changed its position to

		 if (msg_type == message_WeaponList)
			botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_WeaponList;
else if (msg_type == message_HLTV)
	botMsgFunction = BotClient_CS_HLTV;

and the bot dll intercept the hltv message correctly , then we come to the function code itself :

void BotClient_CS_HLTV(void *p, int bot_index)
{
	static int state = 0; // current state machine state
	static int players = 0;
	int index;
	if (state == 0)
	{
		players = *(int *) p; // check the byte
		state++;
	}
	else if (state == 1)
	{
		  if (players == 0)
		 {
				for (index = 0; index < 32; index++)
				{
					  if (bots[index].is_used)
					  {
							BotSpawnInit (&bots[index]); 
					  }
				 }
		   }
			state = 0;
	 }
}

I changed the original code to the above one , and the result ? It worked ! !!! 8D

Thanks for the hint then, I will change the HPB_bot template ASAP. It's for Counter-Strike, right ? Not for Hostile Intent or anything ?

[Rifleman]

yes , its for cs , I want to try my luck in cs

I hope sourceforge will not reject my project
