How do bots identify teams?

[zanyspydude]

I'm using the admin model plug in for amx x....

The bots act fine if i join the terrorist and am the admin(which i am)...

when i join the ct team as the admin the problem comes in....the ct bots shoot me, the terrorist bots ignore me (so i knife them ). I've looked at the script and talked w/ the developer...the issue is def. the pod bots.

that is the link to the plugin incase you wanna check this out for your self...probally wouuldn't use this unless you use http server for your counterstrike games.

Thanks

anyway i can add the model? I've had some trouble finding the pod bot source, this is an open source project isnt it?

[zanyspydude]

lol, ok i found the source code and i don't know what the fuck i was thinking when i thought i would be able to do anything. Would someone be willing to help me out, or is this a big change?

Does anyone know of a better method?

Yes I've been trying to intercept "TeamInfo" messages but they seem unreliable. AMX and StatsMe seems to be able to use the messages reliably though.
From what I logged of it. It gets sent for each player everytime a client (well I tested with bots but AMX and StatsMe seems to detect bot teams just fine too) CONNECTs to the server. It's supposed to be sent for each player each time there is a team change. Since it only got sent for each player each time a player connects the last player to connect will always have the team named "UNASSIGNED" while every other player gets either "TERRORIST" or "CT"

Next release will contain this new detection. I've fixed it and it works. Custom models will now work without affecting the bot's ability to determine what time a player is on.

Sry to open an old post. I was just wanting to see if there is a fix for this problem yet. I just installed the admin model plugin. I have the same problems. I have the latest version of podbot_mm_i386.so Just checking.

Its already fixed, but not yet released. Still in beta testing. You need to wait a bit until I'll finish re-write docs and splorygon will have time to finish work on PODBot 3.
