Guide : Classic bot framework

[koraX]

This document deals with framework for Half-life 1 plugin (e.g. bot) running without Metamod.

This guide is good for understanding structure of a plugin. It describes connections between the Half-Life, game and plugin. It deals with exported functions, game API and engine API. It shows how these functions are called and how they cooperate. It also helps If you're lost in all these calls and hooks.

Nice
I believe you should have made clear the differences between both interfaces. Anything can be a GameDLL provided it exports a GiveFnptrsToDll and either GetEntityAPI or GetEntityAPI2 (the rest is facultative). The engine, on the other hand, needs to provide a fixed set of functions, all of which being in a fixed order. The difference between engine versions (starting from the SDK 2.0 version) being the length in bytes of this function table.

you may also look at my "cleaned" version of HPB bot source code which has all of the bot code stripped...
