hi,

im running a NS 3.0b3 server on steam with rcbot 1.3.

the marines really dont upgrade. but the aliens do.
after installing the aliens doesnt upgrade to lerks, fade or onos, only to gorge.
but one evolved to fade. after i copied his profile, all bots with this profile evolved to fade.

here it is:

CODE

name="[BOT] Gorge"
favmod=0
favteam=5
favmap="ns_hera"
skill=100
spray="chick1"
gorge_percent=10
lerk_percent=20
fade_percent=88
onos_percent=50
numgames=0
hal_pretrain_file="common_hal.trn"
hal_aux_file="common_hal.aux"
hal_ban_file="common_hal.ban"
hal_swap_file="common_hal.swp"

btw why they are not able to evolve to onos or lerk ?

lg

'cos marine updates haven't been done, see the rest of this thread.!

the alines resources/experience to evolve has probably changed in combat mode as well, can anyone tell me that?

Also if anyone develops anything in combat, how the heck do I know if it's actually a combat map? (instead of just looking at the map name.. I dunno if it is just that though)

Member Group: Members Posts: 19 Joined: 6-February 04 Member No.: 229	Alien Evolution Costs: All chamber upgrades cost 1 point, no previous requirements. Evolve to Gorge costs 1 point, no previous requirements. Evolve to Lerk costs 1 point, must be Gorge already. Evolve to Fade costs 2 points, must be Gorge already. Evolve to Onos costs 2 points, must be Fade already. You cannot work backwards, so for the full tree, A Skulk may only evolve to a Gorge. A Gorge may only evolve to a Lerk or a Fade. A Fade may only evolve to an Onos. An Onos or a Lerk may not evolve to another evolution. Think that covers it.

Marine Upgrade Tree:

CODE

/=> JetPack (Cost 2)
/
Armor Level 1 => Armor Level 2 => Armor Level 3
\
\=> Heavy Armor (Cost 2)
Motion Tracking
Scanner
Catylist
Resupply
Grenade
Welder
Mines

Damage Level 1 => Damage Level 2 => Damage Level 3
\
\ /=> HMG
\=> Shotgun
\=> Grenade Launcher

Basically everything but Jetpack and Heavy Armor cost 1 point.
You must have Armor Level 1 to get Armor level 2.
You must have Armor Level 2 to get Armor level 3
You must have Armor Level 2 or higher to get Jetpack, or Heavy Armor.
Jetpack and Heavy Armor each cost 2 points, and if you get Heavy Armor, you can't get Jetpack and vice-versa.

You must have Damage Level 1 before you can get Damage Level 2 or Shotgun.
You must have Damage Level 2 before you can get Damage Level 3
You must have Shotgun before you can get HMG or Grenade Launcher
If you get HMG you can't get Grenade Launcher and vice-versa.

You can continue to upgrade your damage level or your armor even if you have bought a better gun or JP/Hvy

Did I miss anything?

*BUMP*

Anyone know the impulse/command to upgrade?!!!

You can find all the impulses for upgrades in the nsp/ui.txt file. It is used to form the popup menu.

I tried to code something for combat with your source code, but i am a noob C++ coder, so all i do is crap :

So I added this in the middle of the Think function

CODE

if ( gBotGlobals.m_iCurrentMod == MOD_NS && IsMarine())
{
char name[31];
// is it a combat map ?
strncpy(name, STRING(gpGlobals->mapname), 31);
int level = m_iLevel;
/*buggy*/ int points = *NS_GET_PLAYER_POINTS(m_pEdict);
DebugMessage(BOT_DEBUG_THINK_LEVEL,NULL,0,"%s has currently : %i levels and %i points",m_szBotName,level,points);
if ( (level > points + 1) && (name[0] == 'c') )
{
AddPriorityTask(CBotTask(BOT_TASK_MARINE_UPGRADE,0,NULL,level - points - 1 ) );
}
}

if ( bLookForNewTasks ) [etc...]

and this with the other sections with deal with tasks... The bots choose upgrades in this order, using impulses (anyone know which thing indicates whether the bot has taken resuppply ?) the PointsFree may be used to choose upgrades...

CODE

case BOT_TASK_MARINE_UPGRADE:
{
int PointsFree = m_CurrentTask->TaskInt();
DebugMessage(BOT_DEBUG_THINK_LEVEL,NULL,0,"Bot is choosing upgrades");
if ( !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_1) )
{
Impulse(23); // Damage lvl1
}
else if ( !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_4) )
{
Impulse(20); // Armor lvl1
}
else if ( !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_SONIC)) && !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_HMG)) )
{
Impulse(64); // Shotgun
}
else if ( (HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_SONIC)) && !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_HMG)) )
{
Impulse(65); // HMG
}
else if ( !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_5) )
{
Impulse(21); // armor lvl2
}
else if ( !(HasWeapon(NS_WEAPON_WELDER)) )
{
Impulse(62); //welder
}
else if ( !(pev->iuser4 & (MASK_UPGRADE_7 | MASK_UPGRADE_13)) )
{
Impulse(RANDOM_LONG((int)BUILD_HEAVY,(int)BUILD_JETPACK));
}
else // if !(pev->iuser4 & MASK_UPGRADE_12) ??? what is the code for resupply ?
{
Impulse(31); // Resupply
}
bDone = TRUE;
}
break;

The result is that marines take upgrades, but as I don't know how to get points, the comparison between level and points become useless, and the bots get stuck in the "marine upgrade task" (which i added with the other tasks)

Actually the offset for getting points may be wrong, or i take it with the wrong edict, i tried with the one which can be found in the 'NS coding FAQ', and also with the one for beta 4a which i found on the modns.org forum.

Oh, and i forgot to tell you, you forgot a star here :

CODE

#define NS_GET_PLAYER_POINTS(player) (int*)((char*)(player)+NS_PLAYER_POINTS_OFFSET)

because the value returned should a pointer.
And in the code which returns level there is a '/100' missing, so it always think the bot has lvl10... But it is the old source code, and you may have fixed all this...

and the impulse codes which are in the ui.txt (already set as constants in your code) :

QUOTE

UpgradeDamage1/23
Shotgun/64
UpgradeDamage2/24
UpgradeDamage3/25
HMG/65
GL/66

Catalyst/27
Resupply/31

Scan/53
MotionTracking/33

Mines/61
Grenade/37
Welder/62

UpgradeArmor1/20
UpgradeArmor2/21
Jetpack/39
HeavyArmor/38
UpgradeArmor3/22

I got aliens to evolve species in combat finally marines to upgrade armor & weapons too# expect a test dll soon
