rcbot_const_mstr_offset needs updating? Options

[JRob]

I tried playing around with rcbot again and it keeps crashing at

CTeamControlPointRound *CTeamControlPointMaster:: getCurrentRound ()

CBaseEntity *pent = m_ControlPointRounds[m_iCurrentRoundIndex];

So I took a look at what that was and apparently, CTeamControlPointRound is found through dark hackery and the magic number at rcbot_const_mstr_offset.

Can you update this? Or also tell people how to find these offsets?

as far as I know there should be no problem with the offset right now

Regarding the offset bug, I was referring to the version 0.98.
I don't have tested the offset behaviour with 0.96 or a newer version than 0.98

then add the offset between the start point and CUtlMap<int, CTeamControlPoint *> m_ControlPoints . which last time was 844
It's probably only moved by 4 bytes or in increments of 4

I usually debug this by running through a debugger -- changing the offset and vieweing the resulting CTeamControlPoint that I made to see if it makes sense, then just keep the offset like that
Don't have much time to explain more -- hope it's enough for now

I was using this little algorithm on the map "cp_dustbowl" to find the offset.

CODE

void CTeamFortress2Mod::updatePointMaster()
{
    if ( m_PointMasterResource.get() == NULL )
    {
        edict_t *pMaster = CClassInterface::FindEntityByClassnameNearest(Vector(0,0,0),"team_control_point_master",65535);

        if ( pMaster )
        {
            extern ConVar rcbot_const_point_master_offset;
            CBaseEntity *pent = pMaster->GetUnknown()->GetBaseEntity();
            unsigned long mempoint = ((unsigned long)pent)+rcbot_const_point_master_offset.GetInt();

            //m_PointMaster = (CTeamControlPointMaster*)mempoint;
            //m_PointMasterResource = pMaster;

            for (int i = 800; i < 900; ++i) {
                unsigned long mempoint = ((unsigned long)pent) + i;

                m_PointMaster = (CTeamControlPointMaster*)mempoint;
                m_PointMasterResource = pMaster;

                int idx = m_PointMaster->m_iCurrentRoundIndex;
                int size = m_PointMaster->m_ControlPointRounds.Size();

                // for cp_dustbowl
                if (idx >= 0 && size == 3) {
                    CBotGlobals::botMessage(NULL, 0, "rcbot_const_point_master_offset: %d", i);
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    if ( m_PointMaster != NULL )
    {
        m_pCurrentRound =  m_PointMaster->getCurrentRound();
    }
}

Using this method I got an offset of 864 for Linux, and 844 for Windows.
I retrieved this on 15th of July, 2015.

Have a nice day
Best regards

yep I'm guessing Linux one needs updating. Cheers

Surely there's an automatic way to find these offsets? Or an easier way to get the data you need from this entity?

It seems horrible that after each update, we have to load up dustbowl and HOPE that nothing else happens early in the structure happens to be 3.
