Key fixes for 5.x:

  • Made use of the latest private Sven API headers (reverse engineered with ApiGenerator). This fixed a crash when the CBaseEntity::Classify method was called.
    • When a game update inevitably breaks RCBot again, follow the instructions in that repo to update the headers. RCbot needs only the Classify and IsTriggered methods from CBaseEntity.
  • Fixed bots not attacking enemies. Bots thought they had no weapons because pev->weapons is no longer used to store held weapons.
  • Replaced the chat AI with a new port of MegaHal. Bots could only speak gibberish and I couldn't figure out why.
  • Fixed chat message word duplication (bots saying hi w00tguy "w00tguy" instead of hi w00tguy). (aeb9fd054)

Other changes since the 4.5/4.8 version:

  • Fixed memory corruption crashes when adding bots (a2a409258 and 24207f5f1)
  • Fixed bots moving in slow motion when running on a Linux dedicated server with high fps/tickrate (bdb3543ea)
  • Fixed waypoints and paths not rendering beyond +/-4096 units. Sven maps can be much larger than this now (+/-32768 is the practical limit for mappers before things start breaking).
  • Waypoint paths draw further away and update much faster (no more pausing at each waypoint to check for broken paths)
  • minor fixes to weapons.ini (wrench had wrong ID, and added a config for weapon_displacer).

Updates:
2023/10/15: included a linux version and tool to convert .rcwa files to .rcw
2023/10/18: Fixed bugs in waypoint conversion tool.
2023/10/20: Fixed bots attacking friendly breakables.
2023/10/21: Fixed bots attacking unbreakable glass and not turrets. HAL brains load/save in multiple threads (no freezing for large brains when adding bots or changing levels).
2023/10/22: Add revive ability. Add grapple waypoints. Better AR grenade handling. Fixed weapon usage with special breakables. Fixed bots staring at buttons and not using them. Fewer bot chat typos.
2023/10/23: Fixed bots not shooting akimbo uzis. Better egon usage. Increased max waypoints from 1024 to 2048.
