- Works with newest TF2 update.

Unofficial 0.4.1:
- Fixed speed on bots, they'll now be the same speed as normal players.
- Doubled sniper zoom FOV to equal that of HL2 crossbow zoom (from 10 FOV to 20 FOV)

if they were more concerned about the modding public, theyd make such changes visible somewhere a week or so BEFORE they went live. instead, they break 2/3 of the mods out there, and everyone just has to wait for them to decide that they want to post the changes. thats why i dont really like valve's style.

well they've also managed to break their own games (I.e. Episode 2) haha, so they dont really care much about the side effects of their changes.

I'm trying so hard through hlcoders....

I'd just like to see an updated SDK content of the interfaces. I have a sneaky feeling IServerPlugin has been altered, or something else crucial to my plugin!

Is it conceivable within the near future to obtain an updated copy of the interface headers???

Thanks!!!!

Or maybe someone can tell me why my plugin crashes after adding a bot just after GameFrame is finished... ?

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Purpose: called once per server frame, do recurring work here (like checking for timeouts)
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void CRCBotPlugin::GameFrame( bool simulating )
{
if ( simulating && CBotGlobals::IsMapRunning() )
{
CBots::botThink(); // All that this is doing is fake client command join class
}
}// <--------- crashing after call

What the hell is going on with the call stack ??? Below---

[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for server.dll]
server.dll!14c2fdef()
server.dll!14c2ffc4()
server.dll!14c30062()
server.dll!14af8ca6()
> HPB_Bot2.dll!CRCBotPlugin::GameFrame(bool simulating=true) Line 385 + 0x10 bytes C++
engine.dll!0ea3e61e()
engine.dll!0ea3d50a()

Why are there extra server calls after GameFrame ? Surely there is something hidden which I don't have in my code/something missing???

Help!

Actually I found that the exit of GameFrame through disassembly, the server.dll is messing around with the call stack and is adding my plugin GameFrame function back onto the call stack at code:

server.dll
14978C50 sub esp,10h

(128C50 offset)

And when the call stack comes back to my plugin it crashes because it wasn't expecting that. Why is server.dll doing this?

Any help?
