I got bots working in Counter-Strike: Source!!!

P.S. That video isn't going to stay there long. Somebody might want to mirror it before this time tomorrow.

(source code coming soon)

EDIT: Viva la revolution!

can always count on the bot-man 8D

As promised, here is the server plugin source code...

www.botman2.com/downloads/HPB_bot2_Alpha_1.zip

You will need to have created a Mod first (using Steam "Play Games" and double-clicking on "Source SDK", then double-clicking on "Create a Mod", and choosing "Start a mod from scratch").

Unzip the .zip file into your "MyMod/src/utils" folder and read the ReadMe.txt file found in the "MyMod/src/utils/HPB_bot2" folder.

Have fun!!!

hmmm... I wonder who suggested this ...

gameclients->ProcessUsercmds(pBot->edict, &read_buf, 1, 1, 0, false, false);

I'm still going to one-up you by figuring out how to get at the baseclass though.
If the client can do it I still think the plugin can.

GO FOR IT! I'd love to see somebody get that working reliably inside a plugin. I still think it's impossible (at least to maintain it over various upgrades to the engine and game DLL files) since you assume that you know what is contained in the CBaseEntity and CBasePlayer classes based on what's in the SDK. There is nothing that forces MOD authors to use either of these classes as they exist in the SDK (MODs can add or remove stuff from them without your knowledge and this will break things because function pointers and member variables won't match up anymore).

BUT HEY! Give it a shot and see what you can do!

I don't believe you can change cbaseentity without crashing the engine. Since there are engine funcs to get to this (which I thought I could use, but I can't ).

If they change cbaseentity & engine then you'll have to recompile anyway.

cbaseplayer can obviously change and I would expect it to.

[cannonfodder]

So it appears that
CSDKPlayer* pPlayer = ((CSDKPlayer *)CBaseEntity::Instance( g_pEdict ));

actually returns a REAL pointer to cbaseentity. Even when called in a plugin. I was able to create a bot and get him to move by calling

pPlayer->PlayerRunCommand( &cmd, MoveHelperServer() );

This calls back into server.dll, since the function pointers were set up there !

I had to stub out MoveHelperServer since I don't have one in the plugin, but everything else appears to work. I was able to kill the bot, and it would respawn
right away.

Ah and yes botman , is the plugin can only be compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET ? I only have MSVC 6

nice work botman ! ( who expected anything else but this development ?! )
