The additional Quake2 v3.20 mission pack 1 "The Reckoning" game source code by Xatrix. ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/source/ 3.

The Gladiator Bot game source code by MrElusive. The source code of the Gladiator Bot DLL is NOT included! Source code notes ----------------- The source file g_local.h includes several defines at the top. These defines have been used in combination with conditional compilation to mark the different parts of the source code added to the Quake2 v3.20 game source code. The following defines have been used: #define BOT //Gladiator Bot #define BOT_IMPORT //bot import redirection #define BOT_DEBUG //bot debug #define OBSERVER //observer mode #define TRIGGER_COUNTING //trigger counting #define TRIGGER_LOG //trigger log #define FUNC_BUTTON_ROTATING //rotating button #define LOGFILE //log file #define VWEP //VWep patch #define ZOID //CTF #define CTF_HOOK //CTF offhand hook #define ROCKETARENA //Rocket Arena 2 #define CH // #define XATRIX //Xatrix mission pack 1 #define ROGUE //Rogue mission pack 2 LCC and Linux-i386 Makefiles are included. Trouble shooting ---------------- compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0/6.0 Problem: In Quake2 the following error message appears: **************** ERROR: failed to load game DLL **************** Solution: make sure you included the game.def in your project. Problem: Quake2 crashes when loading the first bot. Solution1: do NOT use the compile option "/Gz", this option changes the calling convention The GetBotAPI function from the gladiator.dll should be called with the right calling convention. Solution2: do NOT use the compile option "/O2", with this option the fastest code is created in the majority of cases (it's a default setting for release builds)for some dark and mysterious reason this can cause problems Problem: Quake2 crashes with the following message when loading the first bot: Debug Error! The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention. Solution: do NOT use the compile option "/Gz", this option changes the calling convention The GetBotAPI function from the gladiator.dll should be called with the right calling convention. Problem: compiling the source the compiler generates up to 18 "unresolved external symbol" errors. Solution: open the 'm_move2_rogue.c' module, save it and build again.
