HPB_bot2_i486.so, HPBot2 ver 0.5 release 106 Options

[Xairoo]

maybe 2 .so files are linked bad. i'll check this later this day.
go to your orangebox/bin folder and try this:

CODE

cp libtier0.so tier0_i486.so
cp libvstdlib.so vstdlib_i486.so

if it works, run this command after an update too!

Thanks for the follow-up! But, still not working...

CODE

Unable to load plugin "../bin/HPB_bot2"
Unable to load plugin "../bin/HPB_bot2"

Seems kind of weird that it says that twice also. I double-checked and I do not have a .VDF file for this, it's just being done with the command-line +plugin_load option.

Can somebody compile rcbot 0.71 for linux? I find it hard to compile it under linux... Manual how to compile under linux would be also good.

bir3yk is the guy we'd need to talk to but he hasn't been active for more than a year.

bir3yk is the guy we'd need to talk to but he hasn't been active for more than a year.

I've managed to build and run the latest version on Ubuntu. Some changes had to be made to get it to build as the latest version of GCC is a bit more strict regarding syntax.

I also discovered that the RunPlayeroveCommand detouring code for LINUX was causing a segmentation fault since the memory address passed to mprotect needs to be page aligned.

After fixing that issue, I managed to add a bot, but it just stands around. Any idea what may be causing this?

Also for the changes I made, should I send those to you as a diff or do you want the updated files?

I'd like the code you used for mprotect as i'm not sure how it works in linux

As for bots standing around. Runplayermove hook is the most important function needed, so perhaps its not hooking to the correct address or it's an mprotect problem

have a look at sourcemod to see if its the same

CODE

    void Protect(void *addr, size_t length, int prot)
    {
# if defined PLATFORM_WINDOWS
        DWORD ignore;
        VirtualProtect(addr, length, prot, &ignore);
# else
        uintptr_t startPage = AddrToPage(uintptr_t(addr));
        length += (uintptr_t(addr) - startPage);
        mprotect((void*)startPage, length, prot);
# endif
    }

    static inline uintptr_t AddrToPage(uintptr_t address)
    {
        return (address & ~(uintptr_t(sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) - 1)));
    }

    {

    }

    static inline uintptr_t AddrToPage(uintptr_t address)
    {
        return (address & ~(uintptr_t(sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) - 1)));
    }

I believe that does the same as what I posted. An address is page aligned if it is a multiple of the page size. Mprotect will throw an EINVAL if a none-page aligned address is given as the input. To page align the address you want to supply mprotect, you decrease the address by the address modulus page size: addr - (addr % page_size).
The snippet from SourceMod uses a bit operator trick to get the same result. For example:

CODE

address    = 6             = 0110
page_size = 4             = 0100

page_size - 1 = 3         = 0011
~(page_size - 1)         = 1100
address & ~(page_size -1) = 4     = 0100
6 - 6 % 4 = 4            = 0100

I believe the reason that they chose this (if I remember correctly from my assembler class) method is that it's an optimized way of getting this calculation because modulus requires more CPU cycles to perform. But the result of this optimization will probably be not noticeable for your case as the calculation is done at most 31 times per game.

Hey Ted. Yeah I thought so too. I've been trying to compile myself on linux so I can test it myself. I've edited the rcbot files so that it compiles under linux however running into frustrations compiling the latest sdk from http://hg.alliedmods.net/hl2sdks/hl2sdk-ob-valve/

had to put

CODE

#if defined(_LINUX) || defined(__APPLE__)
#define NO_MALLOC_OVERRIDE
#endif

in memoverride.cpp as it came up with g_pMemAlloc not defined errors

now coming up with errors in memstack.cpp

I don't really want to be editing non-rcbot files as I'm not sure about all this tier stuff

[Ted]

Actually, I found that you don't really need to include the memoverride and memstack objects for compilation. The current LINUX RCBot2 code base does not use any of the functions from those objects.

Also I found it easier to just specify the project as a plugin object rather than go through the mod project route as specified by the Makefile posted in the forum. This allows you skip building vcpm project, which is severely outdated. The only draw back is that you will have to manually update the Makeifle.plugin file.

well i've updated the source files on the svn to fix the linux compile issues, and removed dependencies on the tier1 source, (just use the lib). I've run into compile problems yet again where it says "libtier0_srv.so could not read symbols: File in wrong format " garrh, I'm compiling in 64-bit ubuntu but using lib32 libs with -m32 flag, dunno what else I need to check.

cheers Ted, I had to make a few changes though, and for some reason says "gcc-4.7 -shared false -o ..." unknown command false . obv something missing, and couldn't find that in the makefile. Anyway I just copied and pasted it into the terminal and removed 'false' and it compiled.

Would anyone care to try? For dods in linux: the rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods must be 415 for non steampipe otherwise it will crash

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/downloads/HPB..._i486.so.tar.gz

[RMCvik]

hi guys new to this
downloaded the bots for dods

followed all th einstructions fo rinstalling to a rented linux server

when i ran the command i got this show up in concole any help would be appreciated im dying to get these running

] rcon plugin_load HPB_bot2_i486.so<<<< was the command i used

failed to dlopen /home/games/dods/1071250/178.32.80.157:27015/orangebox/bin/HPB_bot2_i486.so error=/home/games/dods/1071250/178.32.80.157:27015/orangebox/bin/HPB_bot2_i486.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid
failed to dlopen HPB_bot2_i486.so error=bin/HPB_bot2_i486.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid
Unable to load plugin "HPB_bot2_i486.so"
U

so what went worng
what does ELF file OS ABI invalid mean. im stuck and dont know how to get the bots to work:(

[RMCvik]

ok now i did this in console

] rcon plugin_load rcbot_mm_i586 .so

this is what appeared inthe console

Loaded plugin "rcbot_mm_i586"

then i added this line


rcbotd addbot

server shut down and rebooted itself

plz help as i ma lost now

[madmax2]

Hi RMCvik,

I'm not sure if there is a linux build that will work on rented servers right now? I believe the last release for linux was .75r2. The rcbot folder must still be installed to your home folder with that version, which may not be accessable on a rented server?

A few things to check:

I think the rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods & rcbot_runplayer_cmd_tf2 settings are currently the same, the sourcemodplugins.org site for dods is wrong. currently windows=417 & linux=418

If it crashes when adding a bot, do this manually... start the game server running and load the rcbot2 plugin with the -insecure switch, then manually enter the rcbot_runplayer_cmd & variable (rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods 418), then try rcbotd addbot. Cross your fingers...

Check these threads, it's windows but still good info...

See Cheesehs Post #9

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....amp;#entry12150

and this one on steamcmd, rcbot .76 is the solution for windows, the rcbot folder can be relocated to the server folder instead of the user/home folder...

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....amp;#entry12321

Again, I'm not sure this will work on a rented linux server, even if you do have access to the home folder...? rcbot2 .76 is suppose to fix this issue (rented servers)...

Good Luck,
max

If it crashes when adding a bot, do this manually... start the game server running and load the rcbot2 plugin with the -insecure switch, then manually enter the rcbot_runplayer_cmd & variable (rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods 418), then try rcbotd addbot. Cross your fingers...

Check these threads, it's windows but still good info...

See Cheesehs Post #9

and this one on steamcmd, rcbot .76 is the solution for windows, the rcbot folder can be relocated to the server folder instead of the user/home folder...

Again, I'm not sure this will work on a rented linux server, even if you do have access to the home folder...? rcbot2 .76 is suppose to fix this issue (rented servers)...

Good Luck,

whats the -insecure swich plz? and thanks for replaying thought i was talking to a dead world lol

-insecure disables "Valve Anti Cheat" (VAC) for your game server. Rcbot2 needs sv_cheats enabled to work. RCbot2 is not an "approved" plugin...

Heh heh, well it's not quite a dead world... Activity here seems to go up & down with the seasons...

I'm not the greatest techie either, I feel like the blind leading the blind when it comes to this stuff...

Don't think I can be much more help on this, as I don't know linux, or Source engine dedi setups or rented servers. Just been going by what I've read here & HL1 LAN dedi experience. I haven't seen any confirmation anyone has got the linux build of rcbot2 running correctly on a rented server. I haven't even seen positive feedback for the latest windows build (.76) running on a rented server. Although Cheeseh did provide a dll with .76 that looks for the rcbot2 folder above the mod folder, .75r2 won't do that...

Where has the rcbot2 folder been installed on your server, what path?

The path to the hpb_bot2_i486.so looks odd to me, with the IP address & i guess an account number inbedded into the path, but maybe thats ok? The hpb_bot2_i486.so should be in the bin folder next to the dod game/mod folder.

What does your bot_mods.ini dod part say?

Just so you know, this could be a complete waist of time, you may need a rcbot2 .76 linux build, to make it work... I take it that you don't have a windows option for the rented server?
