rcbot 2 source base

[Cheeseh]

I have uploaded the source I've been working on so far for my HL2 bot.

http://filebase.bots-united.com/inde...on=file&id=259

unfortunately I think I've stuck it in the wrong category, I meant to put it in "Rcbot" but I can't delete or move it, I'm sure you can sort that out ?

here is the readme

RCBot 2 source (v 0.01) (rcbot ver 2.01)

By Cheeseh

--------------

released under GPL license, see licenseGPL.txt

The source so far is very basic in terms of AI, and is currently a bit buggy.
Enemy bots sometimes won't see each other for some reason, still to figure that out.

Anyway, source has:

- OO'd structure
- waypoints & pathwaypoints
- 3d waypoint hash table
- bitwise waypoint visibility table
- allowed clients file (clients to give bot command access to) "config/accessclients.ini"
- tasks & schedules
- bots join random teams in CSS.
- creates folders automatically for waypoints/config files etc in steamapps/email/rcbot2
- concurrent-ish & fast-ish A* waypoint path finding
- concurrent-ish & fast-ish bot visibles
- bot commands
- bot buttons allowing; start press time, end hold time, let go time
- probably more stuff

(waypoint commands are the same as rcbot for hl 1)

Sorted...

You can edit your own files, as a member by going back to the screen where you have the 3 options "add file" "delete file" and "edit file", and as an admin by having the side bar on the left, browsing to the file and clicking edit on the side bar.

wow anyway! do your bots select weapons correctly ? we're having trouble doing that...

[WildPods]

Compile it please!

[Cheeseh]

They don't have weapon code yet That will be the next stuff to work on I think

You know when I compile in Release mode I get all the compile erros I got when adding CBaseentity.h and sutff, obviously a _DEBUG flag was somewhere in those h files messing everything up.. I can post a debug dll somewhere but i'm not sure if it would work if you're not debugging.. steam usaully complains.

nice !

( but next time, please remove the ncb file before, or 56k ppl like pmb will kill you )

[Whistler]

for MSVC6 the .dsw, .opt, .ncb, .plg are all removable
and for VS.net you can also remove the .suo and .sln files

[@$3.1415rin]

if you only have a single project in one workspace you are right about the .dsw or .sln files, otherwise that won't be too much fun recreating them manually

@cheesy: at some classes I asked myself "why dont he use virtual destructors ?" when using polymorphism this might be handy.
another point : why no STL, but own implementations of stack, queue etc. ?

[Cheeseh]

I've had bad experiences with destructuors, sometimes MSVC destructed lots of stuff implicitly which I didn't like, because it messed up my data structures, I just stuck to making my own explicit delete/destroy functions.

I have some STL, but I changed most of the structures to my own because I didn't like the lack of methods (e.g. remove & member functions, adding to begining and end of queues, etc..)

and okay I removed the ncb file, I forgot which ones were unnecessary, the whole zip is now only 94 kb lol

oh, heres a simple de_cbble waypoint file (in the appropriate folders) if you manage to compile it.

[stefanhendriks]

cool Cheeseh i just hope we get weapon support soon, then we'll be having some cool stuff going on.

[Iced_Eagle]

Steam does complain when you use debug, but if you add -allowdebug onto the command line for Half-Life 2 (go into play games, right click on HL2, properites, launch options and add the flag -allowdebug)

Is that what you were talking about?

Thx Cheeseh

*edit* I got MSVC++ .NET from my programming brother (got it at circuit city or something lol) anyways no clue what to do on how to compile, can anyone provide some sort of FAQ or documentation on how to compile custom stuff?

Or rather could someone upload just a compiled copy if they are still in the christmas spirit rofl......o_O
