RCBot 2 for Windows and Linux (TF2, HL2:DM, DOD:S) v1.00 r473 Options

[n0nnie]

Thank you for your compilework Nightc0re.

I got a problem with your version =(

If a player joins the server the server crashes instant. I tried to change rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods but crashes still occur.

Game is Day of Defeat Source, OS is ubuntu12.04.

Would be very cool if you can give help to ge this working again =)

Thanks in Advance

I had to update MMS to newest Version because of crashing =(

What happens if a player joins with rcbotd addbot before is shown in attachement

Edit2
Attachement too big =( Will write it then:

[RCBot] Bot Command 'rcbot_move_dist 800' executed

What jumped at me while writing this: Bot and Player seem to get the same Steamid?

Edit3:
I solved the crash on Botjoin issue:
rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods has to be 417 (regarding to this post: http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....showtopic=1769)

Now to other errors occured: Server crashes if client leaves, and waypointfile for dod_donner is missing (console tells me)

Missing waypointfiles can be fixed I think but what about the crashes if client leaves?

I was testing the bots today on DOD:S.

For me the server is not crashing with an offset of 417.
However, everything else isn't quite working.

I think the new update broke the sourcehooks.
Currently I have no time to look into this problem, because I'm writing my master thesis.

If the server is crashing you can start the server with these parameters.

-console -debug -game dod +log on

This will create a debug.log in your server folder, with lots of information.

You can also use the debug libraries from my package.
It contains the debug symbols, that are also used in the debug.log

I added -debug to startupline and nothing happend. I added -condebug and i got a whole console output. See atachement. Thank you for your reply and good luck with your master thesis

The debug.log gets only created if the server is crashing.
If there is no debug.log it means, the server was not crashing.

I suggest you leave the option "-debug" enabled, and the next time when you disconnect and the server crashes, you should get a debug.log with the stack traces.
Then we will know, which function of RCBot is causing the server crash, and we can fix it.

The general server log is useless, because it does not contain crash-reports (as in the debug.log).
However, thanks anyway.

Best regards

I added -debug to startupline:

screen -A -m -d -S dodfun ./srcds_run -console -debug -condebug -game dod -ip IPhere -port 27060 -tick 100 +log on +maxplayers 25 +map dod_donner

The server crashed several times and no log is created. I chmoded 777 the logfolder, I tried to let the server run as root (I know, not recommended, this way I was sure the creation was allowed), but no log is created.

I googled not creating debug.log and found nothing, seems I am the only one with this problem =(

On the other hand, console tells me that a crash dump is uploaded to steam, so there has to be such...

debug.log has to be located under /server/dod/logs or where core file also is? I only got the core file (315MB) but no debug.log

I try to help as much as I am able to, but this debug.log thing is really weird...

Your startup command is correct.
The debug.log is not stored in /server/dod/logs.

It's directly under "server".
During the development of the linux version of rcbot, I got a lot of crashes, here is my folder tree.

dod_server
├── bin
├── core
├── debug.log
├── dod
├── hl2
├── platform
├── rcbot2
├── srcds_linux
├── srcds_run
├── steam_appid.txt
├── steamapps
└── thirdpartylegalnotices.txt

The debug.log should get created at the same time as the core dump.
Hope this helps.

Edit:
You can also give me the core dump. As plan B I can also analyze this core dump. It contains even more information than the debug.log.

here you have it:

maybe this will take a while to download. It is 300+ MB large

Thanks for the help.
It took only 2 minutes to download it.

Here is a quick search for global variables, and the stack-trace:

As you can see, I have a working core dump. Thank you.
However, I don't have time to investigate it further until Sep. 24th.

We know that the error occurs somewhere below executeEvent(..), assumed that the stack trace was not currupted at this address.
I will look into it.

[My Time]

Ok after installing the metamod bots they started crashing after about two map changes. Again while about 3 or 4 players join everything is fine. but if more join the server would crash right after the "so and so joined" . I added this to the start up command line "-console -debug -game dod +log on " and restarted . With in a hour it crashed. Look and see no debug file or core file created. Hmmm ok so the I load the debug .DLL after removing the home .DLL . Brings the server down to its knees . Everything is jumping like crazy but I have no loss or choke . Frame rates are above 150. Still I wait it out . After a little over a hour (4 map changes) it freeze's up like before. Again no debug or core files(yes I am looking in the right place.). So after a day and a half of messing with this I thought it might be related to how the bots leave or reinter a game as real players join. In my config I have "rcbotd config max_bots 20" then " rcbotd addbot" The server is a 24 man server so if I have 20 bots and 4 real players its all good. One more real player joins and a bot has to leave and that is where it crashes. So I remove the max_players command and replace it with "rcbotd config min_bots 15 " I then restart the server . NO MORE CRASHES . It means only 9 real players can play at any time but in 30 hours and a bunch of map changes it has not crashed one time . If someone else would try this and report back that would be great. I would still like to be able to get a debug log but I am happy just to get them to run more than a hour with out a server restart.

I can confirm it is related to Bots joining / leaving.

I got rcbotd config min_bots 12 and rcbotd addbot in my config and the behaviour is:

If bots join after the first player, there is no crash till
a) next player joins
first player leaves or is kicked
Also bots seem to not have working waypoints, they are running around like chickens in spawn

If bots are in the server already (for example typed rcbotd addbot and joined after that) the server crashes instant.

[Nightc0re]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will have a look at it, after Sep. 24th

[n0nnie]

Any news nightcore?

Any news nightcore?

I currently have a full-time job, and I have to prepare for the master exam in the next weeks.
But, I will try to find some time, to look into this problem

The first task will be fixing the waypoint loading problem.

[genmac]

Wow awesome work Nightcore! This will surely help the linux users to finally get rcbots running well on their linux box.

(Legacy Version)

RCBot 2 for Windows and Linux (TF2, HL2MP, DOD:S) v0.98 r468

Information

After several weeks of hard work, I've managed it, to compile RCBot2 for Linux.
I've also fixed some bugs, and searched new offsets for TF2.
You can find a complete list of changes below.

I'm using the latest version 0.98 (revision 468) from the SVN repository, so this version might not be a stable release.
However, I've tested this version a lot, and I've not encountered any problems.

I've compiled the libraries for Windows and Linux (debug and release, with home folder and without home folder).
Which version should you choose?

• The debug version contains symbols for debugging, and can give a developer a more detailed stack trace if the server is crashing.
  Bear in mind that the debug version is not optimized, so this version is slower than the release version.
  However, if you encounter some crashes, this version should be used to detect the problem.
• There are also 2 different versions for the config location.
  If you are using the "home" version, the plugin is searching your config folder in your home folder.
  If you are using the "non home" version, the plugin is searching your config folder in your server folder.

Installation

This plugin needs MetaMod:Source (at least version 1.10.4). You can get it here.
After you have successfully installed MetaMod:Source you have to create a folder for rcbot2.

Copy rcbot2.vdf to addons/metamod.
Copy HPB_bot2_meta_i486.so to addons/rcbot2. (For Windows copy HPB_bot2_meta.dll)

This is the folder structure.

tf2_server/tf/addons
├── metamod
│ ├── bin
│ ├── metaplugins.ini
│ ├── rcbot2.vdf (copy)
│ ├── README.txt
│ └── sourcemod.vdf (optional)
├── metamod.vdf
├── rcbot2
│ └── HPB_bot2_meta_i486.so (copy)
└── sourcemod (optional)

If you are using the "non home" version, copy the config folder "rcbot2" to your server directory.
If you are using the "home" version, copy this folder to /home/username/ (for Linux) or C:\Users\UserName\ (for Windows).

Here is the folder structure for the "non home" version.

tf2_server
├── bin
├── hl2
├── platform
├── rcbot2
│ ├── config
│ ├── launcher
│ ├── manual
│ ├── profiles
│ └── waypoints
├── srcds_linux
├── srcds_run
├── steam_appid.txt
├── steamapps
├── tf
│ ├── addons
│ ├── ...

Troubleshooting

• Edit bot_mods.ini (remove the '#' and edit the steamdir).
  You can find the steamdir name in the server log.
• Edit accessclients.ini
  You can find your steamid in the server log.
• Rename the waypoints folder in your config folder to your "steamdir" name.
  For example: "rcbot2/waypoints/team fortress 2" to "rcbot2/waypoints/tf2_server"

Changelog

.) Bugfix for HL2MP during getNextRoutePoint, which destroyed bot aiming, because of invalid vLook.
.) Fixed reading of files with windows line ending (\r\n)
.) Fixed offset bug (runplayercmd offsets for dods weren't used)
.) Fixed another offset bug (offsets were used before they were loaded from config)
.) Fixed a typo while reading bot configs (visionticksclients -> visionticks_clients)
.) Fixed macro in bot_profile.cpp

You don't need special permissions or symbolic links. You've done everything right.
Linux filenames are case-sensitive. All rcbot files are lower-case.
So you have to start the server with "dod_anzio" as map name.
Make sure you have copied all waypoint files to your 'rcbot2/waypoints/serverfiles/dod/' folder.

A small mistake. I'm sure you will be laughing right now (kind of ^^).
Best regards

great improvements.let me know of any changes i can make to the Windows version to fix some bugs

[n0nnie]

Thank you for your work nightcore

Waypoints and Profiles are working. Sorry I hadn't time to test it till now (also busy at work =( )

BUT:
Server still crashes if someone is leaving (disconnecting) and a bot has to replace him. Here is the core dump:

Plans on integrating the latest SVN build? 474 has some good changes
