Alright.. They've gone braindead with every plugin I've put on since the newyear disabled, so I'm guessing it's none of the plugins.. Is it happening to anyone else? Am I cursed? What the crap.

Heyyo,
I'm not 100% certain, but at times I think bots 'skip' a waypoint onna route now.. I suggest you guys check into this too as it's just a supserstition cause at times they won't go to a certain waypoint n' just go right to the next one, as if there was a pathwaypoint connecting them (and yes, there was no pathwaypoint to begin with either).. btw, started to waypoint the Operation Search & Destroy campaign, and it's somewhat bot-friendly.. the elevators tend to have holes in the tops of them for bots to drop into incase they leap down the elevator shaft, and the elevators are set to crush n' kill anybody blocking its path... only 1 major downside, at random it crashes if there's a couple of bots running around.. not exactly sure why, it doesn't crash on the 1st level, I don't think the 2nd either, but the 3rd n' up seem to have problems at times... [EDIT] oh, and no worries if you don't fix this anytime soon cheesh, I've picked up a copy of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.. and IT HAS COOP! w00t! pretty much why I bought it.. but coop's incredible fun! doin' sweet coop moves like catapulting your buds up walls, rapelling a bud down walls, or even hang a bud from a wire while he hacks a computer/terminal mission impossible style. coop freak loves his coop!!! oh, and btw discrepant, cheesh released the source code to his bot, so just download it, n' make file with that gcc program, and it should spew out your needed .so file.

If from a top view, it's like:
o------o------o o------o------o o's being waypoints, -'s being paths, if their task changes as they're running down the path, like they hear an enemy, or see one, or get a command from a commander, they can continue on their trajectory until they find their new path to their target, and they'll use the closest waypoint to them to start that path.. so, after the third waypoint up there, a marine sees a skulk, the skulk redeems or something, and he'd touch that 4th waypoint and determine his new path from there... Not sure that's exactly whats happening, but its a possibility.. SC3 was a little too short for my tastes, but I guess I'll have to go play multiplayer stuff on it for more fun |

Hey Cheeseh, you should add something to your site telling people that you've updated RCBot to work with 3.0+.
I've been checking the site for quite a while hoping for an update. I finally found this looking for another bot that would work with 3.0. Thank god you got it going. I love RCBot! P.S. This is the site I'm talking about: http://rcbot.bots-united.com/ |

Heyyo,
Hmm, that is a good theory Skitch, but this doesn't seem to be the case.. like, the waypoints are all connected one after another, but it just skips the waypoints and moves to the next, I saw it definately happen. I'll do a schematic: B C O-------O | | | OA Ok, the bot wanted to get from A to C, the bot was right beside A, and started walking straight to C.. this's bad cause there's a whole between A and C and so the bot fell off the cliff. Another problem has arisen while I was waypointing Operation Search & Destroy... for some reason at the bridge, the bots randomly walk off to the side of the waypoint, falls off the bridge and dies.. Now this happened at another small bridge part onna diff campaign I waypointed, but I can't remember the level's name, and I was able to counter it by just simply croutch movement, cause then the bot's barely moved to the side, and diddn't fall off the bridge. I think it might be because how the bot's can get pushed around by walls, and since there's a little bump from the bridge's wire's to the planks, I believe this is why they fall off. I'm gonna try some different waypointing techniques, and if they don't work I guess they'll croutch through the bridge. |

Easiest way to figure out...
rcbot debug_bot bot "botname" So like, for example on my server: rcbot debug_bot bot "[rc] the goddess sarah" Watch to see if their task changes from BOT_TASK_FIND_PATH to something on the order of one of these... BOT_TASK_RUN_FOR_COVER BOT_TASK_NORMAL_ATTACK BOT_TASK_SEARCH_FOR_ENEMY They'll make em deviate.. And, Mr The Cheese, I just watched a fade pull a task of "BOT_TASK_CHANGE_WEAPON" to an acid rocket, when not even 2 hives were up, then switch to "BOT_TASK_NORMAL_ATTACK" and freak out at both a CC and a marine without shooting anything, cause he didnt have that weapon yet.. |

Cause his hands went away, and his little acid rocket doohickey came out, and he stopped attacking and just sorta ran around psychotically when he changed over to the attack task..

weird I dunno, whenever I'm testing they shoot the acid rocket fine, although thats in combat mode, I guess you were playing an NS_ map?

Alright, how do I figure out where the memory leak is? Hooray for the extra gig of ram I bought for the server! |

Oh is that what a memory leak is? I thought it was the amount of plugins I was using...
Blimey Skitchy - how much memory have you got in that animal? |

RCBot 2 is for half-life 2
The date added thing is when the file was first added, for some reason the filebase doesn't say when the file was last updated. You gotta download the file and check yourself... but the link to the latest RCBot beta for HL1 is http://filebase.bots-united.com/index.php?action=file&id=205 And.. after 6ish hours, they still went braindead.. but I was an idiot and didn't check to see if the memory leak was fixed. |

I still haven't found the braindead/memory leak bug yet. Perhaps its only very slowly over time it happens, i.e I'd need to debug for hours! That's the problem because I designed the bots really for ppl to play on a LAN and that's what I test. As soon as you want to get into an internet server, that wants to run for days without interruption, thats where the problems begin!
