TF2 rcbot2 crashes again after latest update (June 7 2018 update), TF2 crashes after a few minutes of adding bots Options

TF2 crashes again after latest update (June 7, 2018 Update)
Map loads just fine but after a few minutes of adding bots in the game it just crashes.
I tried some maps, different gamemodes but still crashes.
I also tried the RCBot2HookInfoUpdate but there no changes in the hookinfo.ini

Doe's disabling custom loadouts make any difference?

I tried enabling custom loadouts but it still crashes after a few minutes of adding bots.

It may have some thing to do with ..... this

https://steamcommunity.com/app/440/discussi...75413680249820/

it is kicking the rcbots when they try to switch teams or weapon

set this command

sv_quota_stringcmdspersecond

to something like 99999

i.e.


sv_quota_stringcmdspersecond 99999

I'm experiencing crashes too (crash to desktop), on Dod: Source. It happened when swapping weapons quickly, but also happens for no apparent reason (with a lot of game time, or with little game time).

I tried "sv_quota_stringcmdspersecond 99999", but it did not work.

My RCbot2 ("rcbot_ver") version is "TF2 / HL2DM / DOD: S 1.02 META win32 483 RELEASE (BUILD Nov 4 2016-20: 34:23)"

If there is a newer version for "rcbot2meta.dll" (release version), I ask Cheeseh to post the link here, or at " http://rcbot.bots-united.com/ "

Thank you!

have you tried RoboCop's version?

https://github.com/APGRoboCop/rcbot2/releases/tag/r487-apg

that's quite an old DLL


Also, make sure hookinfo.ini is up to date

I didn't try the RoboCop version: I found the installation a bit more confusing and the focus was Linux and TF2 (I play Dod:S on Windows) - although I know it works on Windows.

Is there any chance of updating "rcbot2meta.dll" for 2018?

Regarding the "hookinfo.ini": just run the "RCBot2HookInfoUpdate.exe"? Does it work for Dod: Source? The "latest offsets" of the page " http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....amp;hl=hookinfo " are from 2016, can I use this setting for 2018? Should I update the hookinfo with how often (time period) and how?

Thanks!

uploaded my latest DLL here: (built with latest metamod headers)

I'd update hookinfo.ini if you have any problems such as crashing.

You'll still need to use the "sv_quota_stringcmdspersecond 99999" command.. make sure it is getting set properly

I have a remaining question, maybe related to "rcbot_customloadouts". Sorry for posting on TF2, but the scope is for Dod: Source (however, the answer might be useful for TF2 ...):

I wish the bots of the "rifleman" class to use hand grenades, rather than rifle-grenades (I also need the human player to be changed in the same way ...). How do I make this modification with Rcbot2?

I searched for specific plugins but did not find them.

[RoboCop]

Well actually I had some help with Ducky, The_Time and Sorry guy who have been making some tests and tiny fixes. Ducky helped me find the latest hookinfo.ini for the offsets for TF2 and they seem to work fine without the cp_ crashes for having wrong offsets. Also as for the config.ini I've added some more cvars that weren't included in the config.ini but was already inside RCBot2.

Pongo/Ducky made some fixes for VSH as well added a cvar for the Welcome Message to be turned on/off:-

https://github.com/pongo1231/rcbot2

By the way the RCBot2 appears to crash less with having the cvars set with a interval around 5-10 seconds and have no more than 10 bots for TF2; like I got for this interval (aka intermission in US English).

CODE

rcbot_bot_quota_interval 10

Plus I've had to add some SM plugin blacklist as some plugins appears to interfere or prevent the bots from working. If you know any plugins that do make the RCBot2 not operate, please let us know - as well prevent any specific plugin from being loaded by typing this in server.cfg or preferably in config.ini:-

CODE

sm plugins unload smac_cvars.smx

Also my RCBot2 are currently being experimented as they seem to crash on some TF2 maps like sd_doomsday_event and some Halloween maps. And ordinary TF2 bots DON'T work on sd_doomsday and on most halloween maps due to the complexity of those Halloween missions.

Today I've been using RCBot2 Debug build for testing some modifications like removing 'Hook FireEvent', '#include "igameevents.h"' and 'm_pButtons'. Sorry guy suggested on adding this 'IGameEventListener2' in bot_plugin_meta.cpp:-

CODE

// Fix suggested by sorry guy - [APG]RoboCop[CL]

    CMyListener()

https://github.com/APGRoboCop/rcbot2/releases/tag/r487-apg

that's quite an old DLL
Also, make sure hookinfo.ini is up to date

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....amp;hl=hookinfo

I used the new "rcbot2meta.dll" (sent by Cheeseh yesterday) and the data generated from "RCBot2HookInfoUpdate.exe", but Dod: Source continues with crash to desktop (3 times, only today).

So I noticed that the program "RCBot2HookInfoUpdate.exe" does not update the variables "runplayermove_dods_win" and "runplayermove_dods_linux" (and also "gamerules_win"). My "hookinfo.ini" operates with 2016 values for these variables cited (the only values I could figure out).

Is there any way to find out the current values for "runplayermove_dods_win" and "runplayermove_dods_linux" (and "gamerules_win")?

Tip: maybe need to update "RCBot2HookInfoUpdate.exe" to include the variables mentioned and think about a development (of Rcbot2) that is not so subject to variations on Steam ... (I do not know if it is possible, though ...).

Thanks again!

[RoboCop]

Try using this in hookinfo.ini:-

CODE

weaponequip_win=263
getweaponslot_win=270
removeplayeritem_win=272
runplayermove_tf2_win=421
runplayermove_dods_win=418
equipwearable_win=429
removewearable_win=430
givenameditem_win=474
gamerules_win=5

Also I'll be adding the sv_quota_stringcmdspersecond 99999 into the config.ini for RCBot2 to save you the hassle of changing your server cvars in order for the bots to work safely.

And yes I think that HookInfo Update tool maybe need some fixes and its a pity we don't have a Linux version for our Shell Terminal to look and note the hookinfo...

[Cheeseh]

I've made a new HookInfo program, I'll upload it soon,

it has made these offsets for DOD:S

CODE

weaponequip_win = 261
weaponequip_linux = 262
removeplayeritem_win = 270
removeplayeritem_linux = 271
getweaponslot_win = 268
getweaponslot_linux = 269
runplayermove_dods_win = 418
runplayermove_dods_linux = 419
givenameditem_win = 400
givenameditem_linux = 401

hint: most of them from sourcemod https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alliedmod...es/game.dod.txt

Alright I've updated the config.ini as well added a Comment note in hookinfo.ini to allow you folk to understand and have more instructions on how to use HookInfo Tool that Cheeseh provided this week.

I've put the HookInfo Tool attached next to [APG] RCBot2 Nightly build zip.

Also in case you haven't noticed, the config.ini has more variables that came from bot_vars.cpp - like TF2 adjustments, increased addbot interval duration as well as some useful unload SM plugins that can clash with RCBot2.
