I luv updatin' this :-)

Download "Player Logger" Version 0.43

Still working like mad getting this to work well :-) Win32 and Linux dlls included plus updated readme!

Download "Player Logger" Version 0.42

I've been working like mad getting this version compiled. I've also made a dll for LINUX which I am not sure if it works so I ask anyone who can to try it!!!

Download "Player Logger" Version 0.4

Urgghhh it crashes when you shoot someone. I fixed that now. heh

Download "Player Logger" Version 0.3

Okay i noticed some bugs in my player logger program and fixed many of them. There was a crashing bug and some other little things.

Download "Player Logger" Version 0.3

I've come up with a new little project I call "Player Logger". It's designed to log dodgy things that players do whilst on a server. I made in mostly for CS because of all the cheats around but it works with...

I haven't tried it with a server with more than 1 person on it so I don't know if it fully works so I'm asking you to give it a try :) Go on, its only 70KB!!!

Download "Player Logger" Version 0.2

I noticed a crash bug (that was easy to fix) also I managed to reduce CPU Usage because for some reason I told the bot to look for an enemy twice when they only needed to once. I've also changed it a bit so that less CPU is used with checking for monsters to shoot.

I've made a bug fix version if your version crashes or is laggy.

This is a new version with some new features including better bot chatting, spamming bots, bug fixes, all around better!!! I'm working on an anti-cheat program for counter-strike that will log any suspicious stuff it finds into a text file (and displays a message on the server console), I'll post it up here sometime as I need it to be tested as it won't work with bots. However the things that I can test with it are currently working but the main stuff I need to get checked is for someone to run a server with the anticheat DLL and let REAL clients join it. It will then do its stuff once people have joined.

version 1.1
-----------
fixed : bug with transformations sometimes running around in circles.
fixed : bug with alien grunt not shooting sometimes.
fixed : Bot cheating is improved.
fixed : Better tripmine code, bots should use tripmines less as they used them too often.
fixed : Bots won't attempt to use snarks while crouching and choose a different weapon.
fixed : Bots wont attempt to use snarks against impailer_arrows, suck_mines etc.
fixed : Bots use the Mp5 secondary fire less if they are close enough too the enemy. As they used it too much.
added : Bots will jump often in combat depending on bots skill.

added : spammer bots, they will use transformations less and spamming weapons more often. They also use different weapon configurations.

added : Bots goto the waypoint where they last saw its enemy (If the enemy ran away) This will only work if there are waypoints on the map.

I haven't got much feedback lately from beta testers (I dunno if everythings okay but I think it is!) And I don't want to keep spamming them with new bot DLLs. I've added and fixed a lot of stuff so far and I might make a new release sooner than later... :)

Notice I added a progress page, see the left frame to see the link. I've wrote all the stuff i've added and fixed so far since my last release which will be ready soon.

I've got three beta testers so far, enough I guess! I'm gonna look for Laser's server tonight to test "Rocket Corwbar 2". Go here for more info!

I really need some beta testers so I can finally get this bot out of the beta stage. I need testers that can tell me bugs, crashes and small suggestions. If you want to beta test my bot (ONLY between now and my next release) please e-mail me :-)
