RCBot 2 crashed by 'The Classless Update'?, Answer Options

[JohnnyAxe]

Since 'The Classless Update' was released, I can't play with bots anymore.

It's the usual 'hl2.exe has stopped working' message as soon as I try adding bots.

[bir3yk]

need to compile RCbot2, on a dedicated server linux is not working. SDK changed like.

[MacinSam]

Yup, it's broke.

[Cheeseh]

Yup, it's broke.

great, someone else will need to recompile with the sdk updates, cos my laptop broke and had to reinstall, and lost visual studio CD ...

[bir3yk]

where you can download SDK update? Give the link. I compile under linux

[Fillmore]

where you can download SDK update? Give the link. I compil by linux

Didn't you need to have Source SDK for that particular update?

[bir3yk]

In SVN some of the SDK that is:)

[Cheeseh]

In SVN some of the SDK that is:)

get it from Steam source SDK Tools (in steam), "create new mod", source code only.

Although i can't guarantee that this will fix the problem, i dont know if that will work. some one needs to debug it by using ms visual studio when a bot is added.

just typical of valve though.... how many workarounds have I been through now, surely they're not intentionally trying to break the bot from working!

[bir3yk]

already try:)

[JohnnyAxe]

Keep yer fingers crossed boys.

Quote from the SourceMod forums, I assume RCBot is similarly effected ...

As Team Fortress and Day of Defeat server operators have noticed, Valve released an update tonight that broke SourceMod.

Usually we are able to handle updates very quickly. This one was different. There was no public beta, so we had no way of testing or preparing. To make things worse, Valve actually forked their Orange Box engine, broke compatibility, and didn't release new headers or any information about the changes.

With absolutely no warning, we had to reverse engineer these changes and update our source/build infrastructure for a new engine configuration. It's a testament to how seriously we take update parity that we were able to do this in one night on such short notice. But more on that further down. What you've all been waiting for:

There are now 1.2.2-dev snapshots available that will load on the new TF/DoD engines. We will get the 1.3 branch at parity tomorrow.

For users who have custom gamedata files, please note that we have separated TF/DoD into a new "orangebox_valve" engine property. The Orange Box engine that non-Valve games use is still "orangebox".

We are going to wait a few days to do an official 1.2.2 release. Sometime in the next two weeks there will be a Metamod:Source release as well - it's not needed, but we want to prepare for the worst. After this release we're going to redo our build infrastructure so adding new engine updates is very fast, both to wait for new builds and to support new games across the entire source tree.

This kind of update is extremely stressful on all of us - that includes you! We want to get things right in these situations, rather than damage the product integrity. The community was great in being both supportive and patient while we rushed to get something working. It means a lot both to moral and productivity that we didn't have to put out any fires on the forums or mailing lists.

In particular, it was amazing to see everyone on the SourceMod team work in unison tonight. We were all available for disparate chunks of time across random timezones, and we all have Real Lives to maintain. Despite this everyone pitched in (sometimes chaotically) and everything stitched together. So I would like to give a huge thanks to team members Fyren, pRED, DS, and bl4nk - and #smdevs participants Nephyrin, Drunken_F00l, and voogru.

In dt_send.h, in the SendProp class, add 4 bytes just before "const char
*m_pVarName;".

There appears to be one more change that just might be the SendPropType, on
DataTables the "SendPropType" comes up as DPT_NUMSendPropType.

- voogru.

Is there any chance we can get an updated SDK for our plugins?  This latest
OB update killed most of the plugins out there.

Thanks,
Keeper

IS that the fix'd code Cheeseh? Because i went to Source SDK to Decompile, Create mod, Use source code (advanced) and then didn't know what to do... So how do I decompile it, if its the fix'd code?

[bir3yk]

Cheeseh everything is good to compile in linux works.

[DrPuffinKind]

has anyone had any luck with windows?... i will happily do it if someone can shoot me a basic how-2 on the compiling process... I host a server 2003 machine and all the sdk tools are installed, i just have not played around with the mod creation tools as of yet... (im just a mapper to date...) however i will happily put my tools to work with a smile

[bir3yk]

sorry, I can not compile under windows.

[Paul]

I have made a recompilation under Windows, check my thread here at
