Hi Darkruler,

Yes thanks I fixed that one, but it then bombs out again @

the good thing is - except these errors there are none

But I wanted to post here anyway:

I wanted to ask if you have a generic AI class, which could be used for ToC (with modifications of course), or if this is too far fetched?

[Darkruler]

@ Blueboy

As you might know, we (HSC_DEV3 and me) got a custom project, our core and SD2 will take a couple of days to merge with the new MaNGOS commits (yes, it really is THAT bad)

so i totally understand what you meant with minefield after checking the merge conflicts in the core (246 merge conflicts, BIG ONES)

haven't even checked SD2 yet

Hi,

Can you tell more about ToC?

From what I have found on the net, it is a job in progress. Until they get ToC (Trial of the Crusader) working on MaNGOS, no.

Cheers

[Schmoozerd]

I was not refering to whole ToC, but rather the Faction Champions Encounter:

"Players encounter members of the opposite faction in PvP Arena-styled combat."

I have not yet started to really think about it, but there are this two block of information:

http://www.wowwiki.com/Faction_Champions

http://www.scriptdev2.com/info-faction-champions-t4867.html (a few internals)

So, my very point is, that there is (nearly) no chance at all to get the AI 100% like on retail, but I think it should be possible to get a good AI

And I see that "your" playerBot system uses some sort of AI, and hence I thought it _might_ help to use some of your experience to script this encounter.

I have seen on Insider's github some scripts for the Faction Champions AI. I am using a slightly improved version of this, on my server and it works pretty fine.

Removed My Whiny Garbage

Thanks guys

[kaxias]

try compile VB2008!

[Darkruler]

@ Wyarp

what part of

Hi Guys,

More changes with the core. I suggest you do not update passed MaNGOS[10155] yet. Changes have broken playerbot & SD2. It's a real mine field at present, so stay put. I think I have resolved the issue with playebot, but until SD2 is working again I can't test it

didnt you understand

[blueboy]

Hi Guys,

here's an update on what's happening. I've been to ScriptDev2, they are aware of the compile issue, and are working on a solution as we speak. It will probably be a day or two before we see anything, so patience :rolleyes:

Cheers

[Whyarp]

Darkruler,

Wasnt i didnt understand it, was more... i didnt see it, lol

I have been having this problem for days now, before the scriptdev2 problem, i have not been able to succesfully compile playerbot at all..

But just my luck that it will have to wait longer now, but fortunately I still have a working server up and running yay lol

Thanks for the replys, no matter how stern they were!

Hi,

I'm probably not the best person to speak to about mechanics of the AI, as I was not responsible for it's original development. As playerbot is relatively new; you could examine the early work done from

http://github.com/playerbot/mangos/tree/1b95bcaa1e640f2ce89444ae0e5377e967421ff8

My understanding of bot AI is that every bot is assigned a class AI at logon. A feedback loop for the AI is controlled by two UpdateAI functions one in PlayerbotMgr.cpp and the other in PlayerbotAI.cpp. On each cycle of the feedback loop, each bot is serviced (Check bots status, alive, dead, in combat or looting etc) They also direct bot Handlers, for incoming & outgoing packets to and from server & client. Spells and special manuevres are then handled by the dedicated class AI files.

There are two generic class ai files available, used as a templates for new bot classes. I believe 'goblins' will be a new race introduced in Cataclysm, so eventually we will have to create a PlayerbotGoblinAI. These are PlayerbotClassAI.cpp & it's header PlayerbotClassAI.h. If you look at these and the active class AI files, it may help you.

Hope this helps

Hi,

If you describe your system we maybe able to help you. kaxias may well be right. I gather from your error dump, that your using Windows, but which compiler (& version) are you using. It would also help if you could provide versions for the code your trying to compile.

Please get back to us.

i can give you the list of errors on playerbot as well

basically the problems are in those 3 lines so it shouldn't be that hard to solve them (will get to that after i solve spellauras.cpp, lots of issues during our custom content *sigh*)

[blueboy]

Hi Guys,

I will update the repos directly, so there is no point in me creating a patch. As far as playerbot is concerned, this will resolve the compile issue with AURA changes.

Before HasAura in PlayerbotAI.cpp

bool PlayerbotAI::HasAura(uint32 spellId, const Unit& player) const
{
   if(spellId <= 0)
       return false;

   for (Unit::AuraMap::const_iterator iter = player.GetAuras().begin(); iter != player.GetAuras().end(); ++iter)
   {
       if (iter->second->GetId() == spellId)
           return true;
   }
   return false;
}

After HasAura in PlayerbotAI.cpp

bool PlayerbotAI::HasAura(uint32 spellId, const Unit& player) const
{
   if(spellId <= 0)
       return false;

   for (Unit::SpellAuraHolderMap::const_iterator iter = player.GetSpellAuraHolderMap().begin(); iter != player.GetSpellAuraHolderMap().end(); ++iter)
   {
       if (iter->second->GetId() == spellId)
           return true;
   }
   return false;
}

hope this helps

Hi sorry it took a while to reply..

Currently I am using Visual C++ 2010 Express to compile, I tried 2008 and that also fails but with 3 files instead of 1..

The versions im attempting to compile are Mangos 10160, Playerbot Latest Revision 7.7.2010 and Auction House Bot Latest Revision. (Cant find the numbers)

Hi,

Yes the latest playerbot will not compile with MaNGOS [10160] due primarily to the problems with the AURA changes (MaNGOS[10156]+). Try compiling playerbot with MaNGOS[10155] using VC2008. This works on linux and with SD2[1737] and the latest Auctionhousebot [Naicisum]. I would be very interested if you get issues with this on Windows. As far as I know, playerbot is only supported for (VC90 - Visual C++ 2008). There are no build instructions for playerbot in game.vcproj for (VC80 - VC2005 or VC100 - VC2010) : ( So kaxias is correct.

Hope this helps

[Whyarp]

Thank you for taking the time to explain it Partly my fault for always wanting the latest and greatest lol

I was as I said using VC2010, but I have installed an older version..

For the time being I will wait until all the aura problems are solved, but am looking forward to playing with PlayerBot as on a low population server sometimes you need that extra little help I will edit or delete my other post if i can to get rid of all the garbage code I pasted.

[blueboy]

Hi Guys,

I have updated and tested both repos, since the release of the SD2 fix [1738]. Playerbot is now compatible with MaNGOS[10168] SD2[1739]. Both repos compile and run without issue.

It is suggested that you extract new vmaps, maps & dbc files

Hope this helps

[Whyarp]

Just out of curiosity, why would we need to extract new maps, vmaps and dbc files? o_O it takes so long its painful, lol

[kyle1]

Mangos core received updated VMAPS engine today. Also there were an update to support client version 3.3.5 recently. New VMAPS compile ~10 minutes on my PC, old ones did it in ~10 hours So it's fast!!!

[Unkle Nuke]

Wow! I thought 1 hour was a long time to extract vmaps. If your estimates are accurate by a factor of 10, then that means the new vmaps ought to extract/compile on my machine in about 6 minutes!

Considering my dev machine isn't exactly the newest and best, that's going to be a real treat.

blueboy, thanks for keeping us up to date on these source conflicts. You do a much better job at it than the MaNGOS or SD2 crews!

[blueboy]

Hi Guys,

I was amazed at how quickly vmaps extract now :cool:

Cheers

Hi.

I've found a small bug in portal repo (hasn't checked blueboy one). SD2 patch cannot be applied because of PlayerBot patch.
