New Version :D

hey PM,

now that you're hosted at bots-united and many people will join (I am sure ),
I'll be the first to ask what has changed since the last (playable) version

Well, I remember your very first release when your bots were..erm.. in a VERY early stage Then you released a MUCH better version with many improvements (I like bots I can play all maps with ).
Over the months you got much better at programming I think and you got quite a reputation at botman's

So, I hope you were able to at least partially fullfill your goals for your next version of the RACC bot What I've read in botmans forum from time to time sounds good so far.

Edit: I wish Everyone a Happy New Year

have you tried his latest version(with a l33t navagation) ? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~botman/y...splay&num=4953)

i cant dl the secondary branch racc full or stripped version pity cause i wanna c dis navigation

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

use the primary branch's template #2, it's the same navigation (waypointless). In the template #2, the A* pathfinder is working, but the bots don't use it yet. And the AI is the secondary branch AI (calamitous)... you'll be warned

else wait and see

when opening the template #2 exe theres a windows error saying:

...\racc-template-2.exe not a valid win32 application

its proly not dl'ing properly cause i only get a size of 21kb, i've bin re-dl'ing the last 2 days. 8o

might b my end of the line but dont know. btw i have windows xp if this matters

oh and just so u know, problem for the secondary branch is "http 404 not found"

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Right, looks like it has not been correctly uploaded...

... I must really change my FTP software, it's not the first time this happens ! >

I'm re-uploading it. It does 4 megabytes, and I'm behind a modem so it may take some time. Be patient

np, patient is my middle name!

hey pm nw its working mmm i can taste to goodness.....

cheers!

sorry sorry, me again.

i got it now, set it up for metamod but wen i set up a lan game i get a message saying something like:

inilogfile(): unable to open log file ("racc/release/message.log") :'(

the file is present, full 'o text (dont know if its meant to cause i havent started a game yet). is there something i haven't done? ???



also i found patch exe in 'install/release' folder. wats this for?

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

well how did you install it ?

It is not a metamod plugin, you have to put an entry in the liblist.gam, like this :

gamedll "../racc/release/your_mod/release/racc.dll"

the "messages.log" file is a file I use to send debug messages that help me a lot during the development of the bot. You can safely delete it, as it should be created each time you run the bot.

The "patch.exe" tool is supposed to be a tool to patch the liblist.gam automatically, but I wrote that in a hurry and I never tested if it really works. Look at the source code for details (the .c file) there must be commentings that tell how to use it.
