I downloaded both "RCBot BETA (win32 DLL files only) LATEST DLLS" and "RCBot BETA (Files only - no DLLs)" from RCBot Files. Both have a date added from 2004. Just making sure I downloaded the right ones. About the bots for NS. They seem to kill you very fast, which is very good. Some will follow, other's will stay at base. But some of them just run against the walls, and in a circle patterns. I must say, this is one of the best and maybe only bots for Natural Selection. When saying that, having bots for both teams. My brother loves playing, but I just wish the bots were better. It's been almost a year since I last installed RCBots and play NS. I'm downloading the latest patch for NS. I'm hoping it will let my brother and I play together. Seems we're not able to play offline on a LAN. It's good to see Cheeseh is working hard. I hope the bots can get better. Last, I'm also hoping that I installed everything right. My just using the DLL from RCBot, not Metamod.

(they were added sometime 2004 but modified a few days ago!) but you probably dont have the latest waypoints, the waypoints in the filebase.bots-united.com from the rcbot files link are outdated. get the latest NS 3.1 waypoints from skitchys post here http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=807

I don't have access to a linux machine at home, I do at university but I never tried it, and it will probably only work on the machine, i think it uses sun solaris. You need to build for your own machine but there still exists some errors building in linux which seems to be the problem, and I've not got the time right now to look through them all.

Pretty frustrating in co_outpost that the rines in one point of the waypoints get the idea: "HEY let's go back!" and the aliens then are them BTW we waypoint all our maps even they are downloadable from that waypoints -thread. Somehow lots of waypoints for many maps are done "too quickly" so they are not complex enough. We have taken the advise "waypoint everywhere" literally And that means 3-6h of work for every map when 2 persons are waypointing and nowadays we onos-test everything. And this gives me an bridge to a question. Could there be different waypoints for onoses? In some maps onos-waypoints would be a great help And some maps have those little ponds near the hive. Could there be an swim waypoint which to place on the ledges of ponds. Bots are in water and they see that "swim to there and jump and crouch" waypoint to get decently out of water and no HC waypointing for the bottom and the surface of the pond is no longer needed. In many maps aliens get stuck in water and that means some skulk-pie...

Ok. I tryed to fix every error i got on compiling it using gcc (atm i use msys for that)

I had to use the only available sourcecode version http://filebase.bots-united.com/index.php?action=file&id=204

So i have several question to your code:

file dlls/basemonster.h
lines 57-64

CODE

typedef Schedule_t;
struct WayPoint_t
{
Vector vecLocation;
int iType;
};
typedef Task_t;
typedef CPathMonsterGoal;

What the hell is a typedef without type? i had no idea what to do with this..
I just tryed to change it to typedef int .. well it worked , but if this was a good idea is an other question.
Which compiler allows this ?

the second:
file dlls/generic_class.h
lines 974-980

CODE

void RemoveByPointer ( T *obj )
{
if ( array.size() == 0 )
return;

array.erase(obj);
}

My Vector-Erase Function does not take a pointer as parameter. Neither does the one of msvc ..
I just don'T get it..
Maybee you could send me the newest sourcecode?

there were some other errors, but nothing big..

--Ano

use this for removeByPointer

CODE

void RemoveByPointer ( T *obj )
{
if ( array.size() == 0 )
return;

vector<T>::iterator it;

for ( it = array.begin(); it != array.end(); ++ it )
{
if ( it == obj )
{
array.erase(it);
return;
}
}
}

the base monster stuff is half-life code not bot code.

a typedef with nothing is simply a declaration that is updated elsewhere in the code, it is required where there is a two-way dependency on the identifier and can save including lots of header files. This would only work if they are declared by pointer as a pointer is always a 32bit integer (on 32bit machines)

it will compile under MSVC fine.

you should use g++ and try looking for flags that can allow such things

ps: updated the source

Ok i can compile it know.

This are the changes i've made:
file:lines OLD => NEW

CODE

basemonster.h:57-64 typedef => typedef void*
log_meta.h:40 #include <enginecallback.h> => #include "enginecallback.h"
sdk_util.h:50 #include <util.h> => #include "util.h"
generic_class.h:962,979 vector<T>::iterator it; => typename vector<T>::iterator it;
bot_weapons.h:852,864 inline (...) => inline void (....)
bot_client.h:652 CBotStateNetMessage(); => CBotStatedNetMessage();
generic_class.h:983 if ( it == obj ) => if ( &*it == obj )
megahal.cpp:81 ADD THESE LINES:
#define min(x,y) (((x) <= (y)) ? (x) : (y))
#define max(x,y) (((x) >= (y)) ? (x) : (y))

here you can download the compiled metamod version:
http://uhrwerk.ath.cx/~suprano/rcbot_mm_i486.so

I have no idea if this works, i could not test it yet. Write your experiences plz.

Cheeseh:
i don'T understand the following error:
bot_client.h:652 CBotStateNetMessage(); => CBotStatedNetMessage();

and i still have no idea how ot solve this typedef thing. there was nowhere any code that defined the types later..

--Ano

It is bot_client.h , line 652

This is the original code , unchanged

CODE

class CBotStatedNetMessage : public CBotNetMessage
{
public:
CBotStateNetMessage(); // line 652

void init (int index) { iState = 0; m_pEdict = NULL; if ( index ) { m_pEdict = INDEXENT(index); } msg_init(); }

virtual void writeChar ( char c ) { write_char(c); iState++; };
virtual void writeByte ( int b ) { write_byte(b); iState++; };

ther error is:
bot_client.h:652: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `CBotStateNetMessage' with no type

I updated the compiled version (included the *void changes for the typedefs)
(the format in which i showed my changes in the previos post: file:lines OLD => NEW )
--Ano

I don't want to add more that you need to do. The new waypoints are working pretty well. If you ever need me to help test RCBot, I will. I'm not very smart. But I kind of understand about installing bot programs.

They don't care about us who love bots... we're neglected like Valve is neglecting us for HL2 bots.

Man... that stinks. I was hoping for that to happen. Seeing that the developers are having trouble right now. Your right, we may never see that happen.

I need something from the NS developers to incorporate some API into the NS mod to create upgrades/buildings etc through a command chair so that the proper resources etc are used. Whenenevr it can be done. ... I've been thinking of making a whole new bot to do commander, as a metamod plugin and have both running, so I can keep my code tidy.
