RCBot with Whichbot 1.04, ...what can I do? :( Options

[IHQ-Reima[DWMH]]

Hi all!

I tested and tested and rip almost every hair from my head..no it hasnt anything to do with amxx plugins or the configs...

What I mean eh? WB + RCBot = crash every 30min-4h, rcbot alone = crash every 4h-32h, Whicbot alone = crashes occur VERY seldom.

Venom compiled me the latest rcbot_mm.dll with debug(?) and the size is 1.2MB. So I have the very latest RCBot running but I am 90% sure that the RCBot crashes my server. Yes...it is still beta but I would really hope that it could crash only twice a day

I have seen an RCBot error message that says something what I can't remember now and it isn't in the hlds log. But it said Fatal error and I assume it had something to do with whicbots...rcbot somehow doesn't understand other bots?

Is this a common problem?

I can reproduce the error message if needed.

EDIT: I deleted the bots megahal files and waypoint visibility files and I got 6,5h uptime without crash (until one map crashed the server...I had accidentaly an old file ). Before I wait another 6h could the problem be with the _hal files?...

EDIT2: No...that didn't help...

Strange truely

Now I did these four things and ran combat only for 6 hours without crash

1) Added Lord Skitch rcbot_mm.dll
2) Installed Whichbot 1.05 (released yesterday)
3) Shut down the HLSW
4) I had in rcbot combat mapconfigs this code:

CODE

config max_bots 4
config min_bots 4
wb add
wb add
wb add
wb add
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 1

now it is:

CODE

config max_bots 4
config min_bots 4
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 1

and in classic maps:

CODE

config max_bots 8
config min_bots 8
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 2
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 2
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 2
rcbot addbot 1
rcbot addbot 2

I put the wb add lines now to the end of the server.cfg and deleted all the whichbot waypoints of maps where I don't want to use whichbot (classic maps).

Cheeseh:
The warning comes when the game is on. It doesnt occur when the bots are joining the game..

---

At the moment it looks much better. I did what shouldn't be done while finding the error...I did too many alterations. But I only made those four so it could be one of them or the combination. But I will report did it help. I had co_combatforts_b2 with 4 wb:s, 4rc:s and 18 human players and no crash during the 44min session. That is a pretty good stability test...MAYBE

I know but what I said is what causes it, not what/when it happens, its still cause by whichbots not being picked up and stored when they join the game

Ah OK. I understood wrong...well english is not my mother tongue

Server seems to run much more stable than before. Thanks you all for the help!
