Although with good intentions to fix stuff for bots, Valve did it again
and broke bot support.
I see the bit flags are now working again, thats very nice. Although it
does not matter anymore for any bot author on CS as we adapted our own
fix a loooong time ago. Nevertheless we switch back to ensure we are not
doing things that the engine does not like.
I also see my bots do not detect a new round anymore, i have done this
via:
edict_t* pfnFindEntityByString(edict_t *pEdictStartSearchAfter, const
char *pszField, const char *pszValue)
{
// Counter-Strike - New Round Started
if (strcmp(pszValue,"info_map_parameters") == 0) {
// New round started.
Game.SetNewRound(true);
Game.SetRoundTime(gpGlobals->time);
}
RETURN_META_VALUE (MRES_IGNORED, NULL);
}
This worked all th etime, it worked for CS 1.5 and CS 1.6. My question
is:
Is there a new way to detect round start? Is there a message sent or is
there some other method to know the new round has started? Since the new
Steam update i am trown back into fixing a bug again that is not even
mine.
Suggestion:
- When releasing fixes for bots, TEST THEM FIRST.
Wait, let me rephrase that:
- When releasing ANYTHING, TEST IT FIRST (and ofcourse, with everything.
Run a bot server, run a metamod server)
I don't mind waiting a bit longer if i am sure the next STEAM updates do
actually do what they claim to do.
