don't jump through the roof yet, they said: "for adding bots to your mod".

See what I mean ?

[Whistler]

it seems to be something like botman's old HL bot or CZero bot...

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

my SDK is updated.

http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Code/bots.html

I'm on it.

C:\bleh\src\dlls\sdk\sdk_bot_temp.cpp

I was right with the CUserCmd : that's all you need for everything.

[botman]

...and just to be clear, the server plugin bot example is...

C:\MyMod\src\utils\serverplugin_sample\serverplugi n_bot.cpp

botman

it`s good that we have acess to CGlobalVars too now.

as far as i can tell , the bot sample plugin should work with the current mod you create. But i don't know if its working for CSS for example, but i did not test this either! (cant!)

If it works for CSS; its definatly NOT creating the turtlerock version, because the command in the plugin is different afaik.

Looks nice so far, can't wait to do something with it...

I tried the plugin bot example in HL2DM.
It can't load some interfaces:
Unable to load playerinfomanager, ignoring
Unable to load botcontroller, ignoring

I guess we still can't create bots for HL2DM.

Edit: The pluginbot works in CSS! So I guess it's CSS only (for now).

how the hell do you get the source for the sample bot plugin? I've refreshed sdk content about twenty times already, still no joy
never mind forget that. just made a new mod

anyway gotta update my bot now with all this new non hacky stuff. Still one thing though, I don't know how to get a players edict's flags without CBasePlayer (im removing all cbaseplayer stuff) (im looking for gettign these from normal players or even other entites, not bots)
