Work In progress (WIP) #8

[dead bwoy]

Just tried that...


[metamod: command 'realbot' unavailable; plugin unloaded]
still...

Well I did meta refresh, then restarted the server and changed maps. So far, so good...

Still baffled.. now all my names and personalities are loading (magicly?) but still get "plugin unloaded" on mapchange and i have to restart server to change map... disconnecting all my internet guests... hahah yea right, no one comes to my server.

did you use the fastfix already?

And don't give me any bulls*** about Realbot not installed right; I've been running Realbot on my server for nearly 2 years now. I'm not using Steam, either, CS 1.5 dedicated server. Any other ideas?

Actually no I didn't. I'm using the original WIP8 file. Metamod must put some setting in the registry that refresh updates. All the config files haven't changed since the original install. But now it works again. Meta refresh + server restart seems to be the fix.

Will the new unstuck code clean up navigation problem areas from the previous WIP, or should I nuke all the RBX/RBN files?

FYI:

When bots learn, they edit 2 things:
1. The navigational table (RBN files)
2. The experience (danger, contact with enemy, etc) table (RBX)

So, this means, if i change something in the Nodes code, you should delete both RBN and RBX (as both are linked to each other). If i only change experience related code, it is adviced to remove RBX files only.

If you are not sure, simply remove both

how do i change "loadable: at server startup" to load on mapchange...???
I may be retarded... and yes this is the fastfix im talking about...
or... does the source need to be pointed to the dll?
neither meta unload or meta force_unload work after mapchange...

update..

my hlds (1.6) with fix, now crashes on map change
1.5 (and hlds) both keep bots active on map change

thats built into the dll (i think), that needs to be changed i think to loadable anytime (so that it can be started if it crashes on server start)

just a sugestion, and might not be impimented.
