the hpb source (and the 3-in1 pack sdk-metamod-hpb source) does not include a file named linkfunc.cpp
Also, it looks as though the HPB source from the 3-in-1 source pack hooks into metamod? What would be an appropiate source to use for a non metamod hook? (non metamod bot source)
well, since I have no coding experience and lack the patience for a forum walkthrough, if ne1 is willing to create this thingy, they will get full credit for the design/coding of the thing, to be used in a new mod. PM me if ne1's interested! It's not an esential part of the mod, but it sure would make a nice feature!
You're writing about a new mod but have no coding experience? Than I assume you assist somebody else who is actually programming the mod? If it's a real mod like DOD, CS etc. with a new client.dll than you should integrate this feature directly into the mod...
actually if you just install HPB_bot version 3.0 and set it to not actually load any bots you can use HPB_bots map specific config stuff to exec server commands. This was really intended to have diff bot settings for each map but can also be used to exec other server commands. So you probably wouldn't need to write any code at all. Assuming you can get HPB_bot to load under czero.
There are other utilities around that already allow you to have map specific configs. One is halfd I can think of top my head but it is linux only.
