# RCBot2 for Windows and Linux (TF2, HL2:DM, DOD:S)

## Information

This is a fork of [the official RCBot2 plugin][rcbot2] written by Cheeseh.

[bots-united.com discord]: https://discord.gg/BbxR5wY

## Changes from upstream

- Build process uses [AMBuild][] instead of `make` or Visual Studio. This removes the need for
Valve's cross platform make conversion tool and keeping copies of modified Source SDK files.
- The plugin has been split into SDK-specific builds to ensure proper compatibility, using the
same loader shim SourceMod uses to load mod-specific builds.
- The shim is named `RCBot2Meta` to maintain compatibility with existing files; mod-specific
plugins are named `rcbot.2.${MOD}`.
- The `sdk-split` branch only contains modifications to get the project running on the
new build tooling and SDK support without issues. It should be fairly painless to merge
(though it does remove `using namespace std;` for sanity).
- The usage of the install directory has been dropped. In particular, waypoints must be located
under `rcbot2/waypoints/${MOD}` instead of nested under a folder matching the name of the
steamdir.
- Removed custom loadout and attribute support from the TF2 portion of the plugin. Other server
plugins (namely [tf2attributes][] and [TF2Items][], where the implementation was ported from)
are better-suited and maintained to handle that stuff; this plugin should only deal with bots
themselves.
- The Metamod:Source plugin can now optionally expose natives to SourceMod, adding some
functionality to control the RCBot2 plugin from SourcePawn.

[AMBuild]: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/AMBuild
[tf2attributes]: https://github.com/FlaminSarge/tf2attributes
[TF2Items]: https://github.com/asherkin/TF2Items

## Installation

1. [Install MetaMod:Source][].
2. Download or build the RCBot2 package.
3. Extract the package into your game directory, similar to the process of installing MM:S.
4. Start the server.
5. To verify that the installation was successful, type `rcbotd` in your server console or RCON.
You should see multiple lines starting with "[RCBot]".

Things like the waypointing guide, hookinfo updater, and waypoints themselves are currently not
available here. You can download those from the [official release thread][]. Waypoints are
also available at [this page][waypoints].

## Building

### Cloning from source

RCBot2's repo history had all sorts of build artifacts / binaries at various points in time, so
pulling the repository down normally takes an unusually long while. I'd highly recommend
passing in `--depth 1` or a few to avoid retrieving the files that were removed since then.

### Compiling on Windows / Linux

1. [Install the prerequisites for building SourceMod for your OS.][Building SourceMod]
2. Create a `build/` subdirectory, then run `configure.py`.
- The project currently assumes GCC 5.4.0 (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) on Linux, and MSVC version
1900 (VC++2014.3 v14.00 last I checked). Other compiler toolchains are not guaranteed to
work at this time.
- I use the following options (where `${MOD}` is only TF2):
`python ../configure.py -s ${MOD} --mms_path ${MMS_PATH} --hl2sdk-root ${HL2SDK_ROOT}`
- Specifying an `--sm-path` argument enables linking to SourceMod.
- Note that the automatic versioning system requires an installation of `git` and a
relatively modern version of Python 3.
3. Run `ambuild`. MetaMod:Source plugin is built and the base install files will be available
in `build/package`.

Nice work smile.gif ... But are these builds intended for dedicated servers, have they been run on listen servers?

Nice work smile.gif ... But are these builds also intended for dedicated servers, have they been run on listen servers?

As long as Metamod:Source manages to load, there should be no problems with the server portion.

That said, adding a bot in listen server mode (via rcbot addbot) does crash in TF2; at the moment I'm unsure if that's a regression in the migration to the AMBuild system / upstream SDKs, or in the MM:S-based plugin in general.

Edit: It goes at least as far back as after the AMBuild change was merged in. I'm not sure if recent builds that aren't built from my codebase are also affected, but it also crashes on the build listed here.

Edit (2): Okay, no, I'm just dumb. Forgot to fix the offset for TF2 again. It is confirmed working on listen servers, as far as my basic tests go.
I'll try to watch this space in case I've caused a regression (though the removal of attribute / item support is because I only run dedicated servers myself).
