The aliens seem to evolve into gorges(beta2) but doesnt upgrade armor and stuff. I hope the next version will support these and hope they could climb better.

I tried to code something for combat with your source code, but i am a noob C++ coder, so all i do is crap :

So I added this in the middle of the Think function

CODE

if ( gBotGlobals.m_iCurrentMod == MOD_NS && IsMarine())
{
char name[31];
// is it a combat map ?
strncpy(name, STRING(gpGlobals->mapname), 31);
int level = m_iLevel;
/*buggy*/ int points = *NS_GET_PLAYER_POINTS(m_pEdict);
DebugMessage(BOT_DEBUG_THINK_LEVEL,NULL,0,"%s has currently : %i levels and %i points",m_szBotName,level,points);
if ( (level > points + 1) && (name[0] == 'c') )
{
AddPriorityTask(CBotTask(BOT_TASK_MARINE_UPGRADE,0,NULL,level - points - 1 ) );
}
}

if ( bLookForNewTasks ) [etc...]

and this with the other sections with deal with tasks... The bots choose upgrades in this order, using impulses (anyone know which thing indicates whether the bot has taken resuppply ?) the PointsFree may be used to choose upgrades...

CODE

case BOT_TASK_MARINE_UPGRADE:
{
int PointsFree = m_CurrentTask->TaskInt();
DebugMessage(BOT_DEBUG_THINK_LEVEL,NULL,0,"Bot is choosing upgrades");
if ( !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_1) )
{
Impulse(23); // Damage lvl1
}
else if ( !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_4) )
{
Impulse(20); // Armor lvl1
}
else if ( !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_SONIC)) && !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_HMG)) )
{
Impulse(64); // Shotgun
}
else if ( (HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_SONIC)) && !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_HMG)) )
{
Impulse(65); // HMG
}
else if ( !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_5) )
{
Impulse(21); // armor lvl2
}
else if ( !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_WELDER)) )
{
Impulse(62); //welder
}
else if ( !(pev->iuser4 & (MASK_UPGRADE_7 | MASK_UPGRADE_13)) )
{
Impulse(RANDOM_LONG((int)BUILD_HEAVY,(int)BUILD_JETPACK));
}
else // if !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_12) ??? what is the code for resupply ?
{
Impulse(31); // Resupply
}
bDone = TRUE;
}
break;

The result is that marines take upgrades, but as I don't know how to get points, the comparison between level and points become useless, and the bots get stuck in the "marine upgrade task" (which i added with the other tasks)

Actually the offset for getting points may be wrong, or i take it with the wrong edict, i tried with the one which can be found in the 'NS coding FAQ', and also with the one for beta 4a which i found on the modns.org forum.

Oh, and i forgot to tell you, you forgot a star here :

CODE

#define NS_GET_PLAYER_POINTS(player) (int*)((char*)(player)+NS_PLAYER_POINTS_OFFSET)

because the value returned should a pointer.
And in the code which returns level there is a '/100' missing, so it always think the bot has lvl10... But it is the old source code, and you may have fixed all this...

and the impulse codes which are in the ui.txt (already set as constants in your code) :

QUOTE

Shotgun/64
UpgradeDamage2/24

HMG/65
