Yes, I think the most commonly asked question was how to add bots to a game, so it's good that it's mostly working (thankfully Solokiller has posted what looks like a better solution at GitHub).

No, I tried adding MetaMod support a while ago and it broke things - unless someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I probably won't bother trying to fix it.

Please make autowaypointing. or something.

@tschumann I will look on to fix the Metamod issue you have but it will be around the end of the next week, if you haven't fixed it yourself by then.

P.S. Please update the Github documentation with instructions to build the project. Should I use HPB_bot.vcproj for MSVC and the Makefile directly under Linux?

It's something I'll look at further down the track - I might change some waypointing stuff yet so I don't want to get in too deep.

Oh thanks - pretty sure when I tried it last everything was too fast and the bounce pads on bounce in Half-Life were way too bouncy. It was a bit frustrating because I couldn't find any good documentation but it looked like what I'd done was right.
I'll update the docs and see about updating the metamod branch. Many thanks!

edit: build instructions updated, and the metamod branch is up to date with master (clean merge!) - diff is at https://github.com/tschumann/sandbot/compare/metamod

[The Storm]

You have massive CRLF line endings which is not recommended for a git repo of portable project.

Anyway perhaps I will do the metamod port from scratch, it will be easier for me to track issues.

[tschumann]

Yeah I downloaded the Windows version of the source code but it looked like all the line endings were screwed up. Not sure what's up with that.

I think https://github.com/tschumann/sandbot...d334e946643f37 was the only file that I created/added myself and it seemed right but I don't know.

[The Storm]

It is mixed with both Unix and Windows line endings...
The ^M character that you see on some lines is the carriage return that is used under Windows. It will be good if you go and fix all endings. There is tools like dos2unix that will do that for you.

P.S. Also could you give me developer rights to the repo to skip the step of making a fork... My profile is 'TheStormN'.
P.S. 2. I will have to postpone the Metamod port due to HDD change. I will need some time to recover my stuff and setup my environment again. Sorry.

[tschumann]

All good - I've added you as a collaborator.
I've created a new branch to try again myself. Does what is in https://github.com/tschumann/sandbot...ls/metamod.cpp look right at least?
Also, I might try downgrading back to the stable version of Half-Life. http://steamcommunity.com/games/70/a...55100987797270 probably shouldn't affect things but who knows...
