Renaming bots

Quick question, just need a confirmation - is it possible to rename bots?

I created this code just now:

PHP Code:

---

    if(isdefined(self.isbot))
    {
        botname = getSubStr(self.name, 0, 3);
        
        if(botname == "bot")
        {
            number = getSubStr(self.name, 3, self.name.size);
            self.name = "new name #"+number;
            self setclientcvar("name", "new name #"+number);
            iprintlnBold("a bot has been renamed");
        }
    } 


---

I'm aware setclientcvar would never work since bots don't have their own configurations like players do. Still, as a noob, it's worth the try.
Also, it's weird that I can get self.name from a bot but cannot change it.
I'm reading the printed message in game every time the code is read, so, it is reaching the renaming commands.

Hmm... I actually just tried to use 'self.name = ' to rename myself ingame, and it didn't work. Any clues?

Possible but very hard.

Basically you'd need to create a custom scoreboard, killfeed and kill messages, while figuring out how to hide the stock ones.

There might be a way to do it using libcod (See http://killtube.org/showthread.php?1...ing-bots/page2 ) but examples on that thread have been done with cod1.

Yea, I can see the ping is also modified.

You can try it with libcod like explained here:

That is for CoDExtended.

Could you convert it to libcod for those who are unfamiliar with C++? (Myself being one)

When i got time i will start with 'isbot' function for libcod. After that works i will start on 'renamebot'.

1.3

PHP Code:

---

int __cdecl sub_808C316(int a1, char *dest, int a3)
{
  int v3; // ST14_4@5
  int v5; // [sp+10h] [bp-8h]@2

  if ( *(_DWORD *)(a1 + 452308) == 2 )
  {
    sub_8094A10(0, 0, "%c \"EXE_CANNOTKICKHOSTPLAYER\"", 101);
    v5 = 0;
  }
  else
  {
    if ( dest )
    {
      sub_80B7AB6(dest, (const char *)(a1 + 134216), a3);
      sub_80B7E54(dest);
    }
    v3 = *(_DWORD *)(a1 + 714500);
    sub_808F02E(a1, "EXE_PLAYERKICKED");
    *(_DWORD *)(a1 + 134688) = dword_8423084;
    v5 = v3;
  }
  return v5;
} 


---

PHP Code:

---

if ( *(_DWORD *)(a1 + 452308) == 2 ) 


---

PHP Code:

---

if( cl->netchan.remoteAddress.type == NA_LOOPBACK ) 


---

NA_BOT = 0

PHP Code:

---

void gsc_player_addresstype(int id) {
    #if COD2_VERSION == COD2_VERSION_1_3
        int info_start = *(int *)0x08423084;
        int info_base = *(int *)0x0842308C;
        int info_size = 0xB1064;
        int info_addresstype_offset = 0x6E6D4; // same as 1.2
    #else
        #warning gsc_player_addresstype() got no working addresses
        int info_start = *(int *)0x0;
        int info_base = *(int *)0x0;
        int info_size = 0x0;
        int info_addresstype_offset = 0x0;
    #endif

    int info_player = info_base + id * info_size;
    int addrtype = info_start - *(unsigned int *)(info_player + info_addresstype_offset);
    stackPushInt(addrtype);
}

1.0 offset is 0x6E5C4.

If its possible to individually change their name (Without making your own scoreboard/obituary) then by all means prove me wrong =D

62 6F 74 25 64 found it

Also, Game Tracker does not count bots as players, but what if they are renamed? Can't test it, haven't got a server.

I made some progress to rename them. (1.3)

PHP Code:

---

sub_80B85CE(&dest, (unsigned int)"challenge", v6);
if ( (unsigned __int8)sub_80B2FAA("fs_restrict") )
{
  v7 = (unsigned int)sub_80B8108(&dest, (int)"sv_keywords");
  sub_80B7F0A(&s, 0x400u, "demo %s", v7);
  sub_80B85CE(&dest, (unsigned int)"sv_keywords", (int)&s);
} 


---

Info_SetValueForKey = 0x080B85CE

PHP Code:

---

result = sub_808BAF8();
v3 = result;
if ( result )
{
  sub_8060DEA("userinfo\n");
  sub_8060DEA("--------\n");
  result = sub_80614EA(v3 + 12); 


---

=

PHP Code:

---

cl = SV_GetPlayerByName();
if ( !cl ) {
    return;
}

Com_Printf( "userinfo\n" );
Com_Printf( "--------\n" );
Info_Print( cl->userinfo ); 


---

Now i only need to set the name to the client struct.

In SV_GetPlayerByName function:

PHP Code:

---

sub_80B7AB6(&dest, (const char *)i + 134216, 64); 


---

=

PHP Code:

---

Q_strncpyz( cleanName, cl->name, sizeof(cleanName) ); 


---

I got currently this. I haven't tested or compiled it yet.

PHP Code:

---

void gsc_player_renamebot(int id) {
    char * key;

    if ( ! stackGetParams("s", &key)) {
        printf("scriptengine> ERROR: gsc_player_renamebot(): param \"key\"[1] has to be an string!\n");
        stackPushUndefined();
        return;
    }
    
    #if COD2_VERSION == COD2_VERSION_1_0
        int info_base = *(int *)0x0841FB0C;
        int info_size = 0x78F14;
    #elif COD2_VERSION == COD2_VERSION_1_2
        int info_base = *(int *)0x0842200C;
        int info_size = 0x79064;
    #elif COD2_VERSION == COD2_VERSION_1_3
        int info_base = *(int *)0x0842308C;
        int info_size = 0xB1064;
    #else
        #warning gsc_player_renamebot() got no working addresses
        int info_base = *(int *)0x0;
        int info_size = 0x0;
    #endif

    int info_player = info_base + id * info_size;
    
    #if COD2_VERSION == COD2_VERSION_1_3
    typedef int (*Info_SetValueForKey_t)(char *s, const char *key, const char *value);
    Info_SetValueForKey_t Info_SetValueForKey = (Info_SetValueForKey_t)0x080B85CE;
    
    Info_SetValueForKey((unsigned int *)(info_player + 12), "name", key);
    char * name = (const char *)(unsigned int *)(info_player + 134216);
    memcpy(&name[0], key, 32);
    name[31] = '\0';
    printf("name = %s\n", name);
    #endif

    stackPushInt(1);
}

You can now download the working version: http://znation.nl/libcod/libcod2_1_3.so (only tested with rcon status)

PHP Code:

However there is one bug i'm noticing - console is being spammed with "Giving <Bot Name> a 999 ping - !count:", not sure if its something on my end since I had to switch to 1.3 to test this.

For 1.2 and 1.0 you only need these address for Info_SetValueForKey.

80B848A 1.2
80B5FF6 1.0

Do you mind compiling 1.0 for me? Having errors on my end due to mysql;

PHP Code:

---

./doit.sh base
##### COMPILE GSC_MYSQL.CPP #####
cc1plus: error: unrecognised command line option "-std=gnu++11"

Used to work in the past.

Hm, not sure if I understood it but, if you mean you wanna add the 'isbot' function to the game through libcod, it already exists

isdefined(self.isbot)

I didn't find the isbot attribute in _teams.gsc nor in the server binary itself (with WinHex):

Code:

---

addTestClients()
{
    wait 5;

    for(;;)
    {
        if(getCvarInt("scr_testclients") > 0)
            break;
        wait 1;
    }

    testclients = getCvarInt("scr_testclients");
    for(i = 0; i < testclients; i++)
    {
        ent[i] = addtestclient();

        if(i & 1)
            team = "axis";
        else
            team = "allies";
       
        ent[i] thread TestClient(team);
    }
}

TestClient(team)
{
    while(!isdefined(self.pers["team"]))
        wait .05;

    self notify("menuresponse", game["menu_team"], team);
    wait 0.5;

    if(team == "allies")
        self notify("menuresponse", game["menu_weapon_allies"], "m1carbine_mp");
    else if(team == "axis")
        self notify("menuresponse", game["menu_weapon_axis"], "mp40_mp");
}

You might have just a mod, where the attribute player.isbot is set manually?

Yup can confirm there is no default player.isBot function. I remember checking for this a while ago.

I was planning on adding 'if(player isbot())' but i renamed the function to 'getAddressType'. Because you can use it for more than bots. So it is now 'if(player getAddressType() == 0)'.

You can use 'if(isDefined(player.isbot))'. But you need to set it after creating the test client.

PHP Code:

---

ent[i] = addtestclient();
ent[i].isbot = true; 


---

getAddressType types

Quote:

---

0 = NA_BOT
1 = NA_BAD (an address lookup failed)
2 = NA_LOOPBACK
3 = NA_BROADCAST
4 = NA_IP
5 = NA_IPX (ipv6, possibly unsupported)
6 = NA_BROADCAST_IPX

Yes this is what I did many months ago. No problems. Was just confirming that kung is correct.

Or how about just hook the player/class memberfields so you can make a default player.isbot attribute. :rolleyes:

Just found this in mbot.gsc from meatbot:

Code:

---

addlotdaxis() //<Master|dEvis>
{
bot = undefined;
if(!isdefined(bot))
        bot = addtestclient();
       

                if(isdefined(bot))
                {
                pweapon = "";
                bot.isbot = true;
                bot thread botJoin("axis", pweapon);
                }
                if(isdefined(level.botstart))
                {
                        bot thread [[level.botstart]]();
                }       
}

What about it?

I'm just showing where isbot is defined in meatbot
