POD-bot back into shape.

I just got this error with PODbot on a linux server.


hlds_i686: bot.cpp:8084: void BotThink(bot_t *): Assertion `(pEdict->v.v_angle.x > -181.0) && (pEdict->v
.v_angle.x < 181.0) && (pEdict->v.v_angle.y > -181.0) && (pEdict->v.v_angle.y < 181.0) && (pEdict->v.ang
les.x > -181.0) && (pEdict->v.angles.x < 181.0) && (pEdict->v.angles.y > -181.0) && (pEdict->v.angles.y

Any idea on a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated and nice work on the new version Pierre-Marie Baty.

Dethpod is trying to put together a Linux bot to help debugging the bot. Once this will be done I'll have a quick look and fix all the Linux issues that have been mentioned. I can't devote much time to this bot as I already have mine to grow, hope you understand.

Try YaPB, you can find it in the Off-Topic forum. It's a modified podbot and works very well at my linux server

Actually I redid the ClampAngle() functions in a nicer way

void UTIL_ClampAngle (float *fAngle)
{
   if (*fAngle >= 180)
	  *fAngle -= 360 * ((int) (*fAngle / 360) + 1);
   if (*fAngle < -180)
	  *fAngle += 360 * ((int) (-*fAngle / 360) + 1);
}

void UTIL_ClampVector (Vector *vecAngles)
{
   if (vecAngles->x >= 180)
	  vecAngles->x -= 360 * ((int) (vecAngles->x / 360) + 1);
   if (vecAngles->x < -180)
	  vecAngles->x += 360 * ((int) (-vecAngles->x / 360) + 1);
   if (vecAngles->y >= 180)
	  vecAngles->y -= 360 * ((int) (vecAngles->y / 360) + 1);
   if (vecAngles->y < -180)
	  vecAngles->y += 360 * ((int) (-vecAngles->y / 360) + 1);
   vecAngles->z = 0.0;
}

And I added two ClampAngle() calls on idealpitch and ideal_yaw at the bottom of BotThink(), this way the assertion can't fail anymore.

I updated the podbot DLL

uploading now

Unfortunately I am still getting the same error, but thanks for working on it.

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Pisses me off. I've added this barbarian fix.

void UTIL_ClampAngle (float *fAngle)
{
   if (*fAngle >= 180)
	  *fAngle -= 360 * ((int) (*fAngle / 360) + 1);
   if (*fAngle < -180)
	  *fAngle += 360 * ((int) (-*fAngle / 360) + 1);
 
   // if we're still above the limit then something's REALLY fuckedup!!!
   if ((*fAngle >= 180) || (*fAngle < -180))
	  *fAngle = 0; // no mercy.
}

try this one now.

still uploading as I write this.

*edit* upload finished, go for it.

Sorry still getting


hlds_i686: bot.cpp:8089: void BotThink(bot_t *): Assertion `(pEdict->v.v_angle.x
> -181.0) && (pEdict->v.v_angle.x < 181.0) && (pEdict->v.v_angle.y > -181.0) &&

Now when I try to kill the server with the exit command I get the following error:

L 03/10/2004 - 12:17:56: "Make me Laugh<-1><><CT>" disconnected
Dropped Make me Laugh from server

Thanks for the continued work.

heck, it's IMPOSSIBLE!!! ???
can you try this one ?
http://racc.bots-united.com/podbot_mm_i386.so
it won't work any better but it will help me locate the bug.

Here is the new error


hlds_i686: bot.cpp:8088: void BotThink(bot_t *): Assertion `(pEdict->v.ideal_yaw > -181.0) && (pEdict->v.ideal_yaw < 181.0)' failed.
./hlds_run: line 423: 17605 Aborted $HL_CMD
Add "-debug" to the ./hlds_run command line to generate a debug.log to help with solving this problem

Could these error be related to other metamod plugins (just checking, no programing background). I am running adminmod 2.50.58-beta and StatsMe 2.8.0.

I am running linux and i have no problem getting it up and running. The plugin that is.

That is my meta list.

When i hit my podbotmenu key it says that it is an unknown command.

any ideas
