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

however

This is a way of finding the guts of CTeamControlPoint.

The problem is that "CBaseEntity" is difficult to use in plugins - so I avoided it completely and instead just coded in the parts of CTeamControlPoint that are useful, and instead of having several offsets I just need one for the class below: It is expanded from CBaseEntity (its subclass) so it has all that CBaseEntity crap beforehand.

Maybe a better way of doing this would be to declare a basic CBaseEntity through the engine code then do a sizeof() and just use that as the offset. OR create a CTeamControlPoint entity -- find the size doing sizeof then delete the size of only the CTeamControlPoint class without CBaseEntity from it.

CTeamControlPoint : public CBaseEntity
{
...
// USEFUL STUFF HERE
CUtlMap<int, CTeamControlPoint *> m_ControlPoints;
bool m_bFoundPoints;

CUtlVector<CTeamControlPointRound *> m_ControlPointRounds;
int m_iCurrentRoundIndex;

}

The problem is trying to find this stuff from a CBaseEntity pointer of CTeamControlPoint (unless you know of a better way)

So basically I get the start point of the CBaseEntity

CBaseEntity *pMaster

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
