Changes to GameBots

Posted by jacob.schrum on Thu 20 of May, 2010 15:52 CEST
Does Pogamut 3 make any changes to the GameBots interface, or only to the Java API? The reason I'm asking is that I would like to install Pogamut 3 on a system and still be able to run stand-alone Pogamut 2 programs/bots on the system. In other words, assuming I previously used Pogamut 2 to make a stand-alone executable, would it still run properly on a system using Pogamut 3?

In general, what's involved in upgrading?

Yes, Pogamut 3 does change GameBots API. The biggest change is probably in the handshake. The response to READY command is now enveloped by messages SHS and EHS (HandShakeStart and HandShakeEnd). This will probably cause Pogamut2 not to be able to connect to the server.

However, the bot in Pogamut 3 is able to do everything the bot in Pogamut2 could do and more. The refactoring of code between Pogamut2 to Pogamut3 is in my opinion one day work (largely depends on how you've been using Pogamut2).

Current safe version of Pogamut 3 is v3.0.8 - it seems that v3.0.10 and v3.0.9 contain a bug that prevents ControlServer to be connected to the environment (however, the bots work fine). This will be fixed in v3.0.11 (tomorrow).

Best,
Michal
