1. Credits
==========
The Enhanced Ping-Of-Death Bot was created using Count Floyd's
PODBOT 2.6 sourcecode (http://podbot.nuclearbox.com). Don't 
forget about this, because most of the work was done by him.

  ** E[POD]bot 3a © 2003/04 LightNinja (Mats Reißberg) **

The Bot may only be distributed if this file and all the other
files that came with it are included in the redistribution, and
no money is charged for the product being distributed. This
excludes such things as video game magazines which include a CD
and things such as that, which are permitted to include this bot
(provided they meet the requirements above) as long as they
notify me before doing so and get my permission through e-mail
or any other way.

Software under this agreement is under no kind of warranty.
Software under this agreement is provided as is, and the Bot 
author isn't responsible for any problems this software could 
cause. Use this software at your own risk !

2. System Requirements
======================
* Half-Life + Counter-Strike MOD _or_ Counter-Strike RETAIL
  Version: Beta 6.5+ / Release 1.0+ (fully compatible to CS 1.5)
  (Combat Style made for CS 1.4/1.5)

* I recommend a Intel Pentium II CPU 300 MHz or higher and a
  3D Graphics Acclerator Card (at least Voodoo 2 / Riva TNT 2)
  (The Bot boosts CS CPU Usage and needs a framerate of 30 fps
   or higher to run properly. At lower framerates the bots may
   appear not as clever as they are on high framerates.)

NOTE: This now is a Stand-Alone-Bot. You do not have to install
POD-Bot 2.0 or higher first anymore. If you still have waypoints
for maps which aren't supported by this pack, you have to copy 
them manually to the EPB folder (sorry, no real installer, only 
a WinZip SFX Archive...)

3. Installation
===============
Start the Self-Extracting EXE. Enter the ROOT path of your
Half-Life / Counter-Strike Retail when you are asked for
(default: C:\SIERRA\Half-Life , C:\SIERRA\Counter-Strike). Do
NOT point to the mod-directory (\cstrike)!!

You will find the bot and all of its components in the folder
"E-POD.bot" inside the mod directory (\cstrike). The waypoint
directory is called wptEPB.

After the installation is successful, you should start the
EPBcfg.exe, a config too, and select the language for chat
and Console/Menus.

4. Uninstall
============
To remove PODBot completely, follow these instructions. This
only applies if MetaMod is not installed. MetaMod users will
be able to do this on their own ;-)

First of all, go to your cstrike-MOD-Directory and open the
liblist.gam with a text-editor like notepad.

Search for the line  - gamedll "EPODbot\epb.dll" -
and change it into   - gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"       -

Then save the liblist.gam and look for the EPODbot folder (in 
the same directory as liblist.gam). You can completely delete 
this, if you do not want to keep waypoint or experience files or 
some cfgs in there.

The next time you create a game in CS there shouldn't be bots
anymore.

If you want do disable E[POD]bot temporarily only change the
liblist.gam file and change it back to re-enable E[POD]bot.

5. How To Use E[POD]bot
=======================
They just should work fine without you having to do anything ;-).

Some commands are available in the PODBot-Menu. By default it's
bound to the "P" key (you can change it in podbot.cfg).
You can also give the bots some radio commands such as "Follow
Me" or "Taking Fire...Need Assistance."

If you're still having problems, read CountFloyd's Manual
(\cstrike\EPODbot\docs\readme.html). For more questions read
the FAQ (\cstrike\EPODbot\docs\EPBFAQ.html), check out the
current FAQ and News at www.epod-bot.net.tc or look in the
POD-Bot forum at forums.nuclearbox.com (Please read the important
FAQ/Links thread first.) To contact me visit www.epod-bot.net.tc

6. What's new? / Version history
================================

= Version IIIa - September 06, 2004 =

* FIXED: Bots having problems to navigate the map and staying
  at one place for a long time
* FIXED: Bots tending to move towards the target zone but then
  turn around and go somewhere else.
* ADDED: EPBcfg.exe, a tool where ýou can do all the settings
  for the bot and select your language files for Chat and
  Bot-Menu/Console.
* ADDED: multi-language support. Comes with chat-files for
  English and German and with Menu/Console-Files for English,
  German and French. Language files are plain text files which
  can be translated by users. (see directories titles and chat)
* Changed the layout of the podbotmenu a little bit.


= Version III - August 31, 2003 =

* FIXED: Bots using sniper weapons would not zoom.
* FIXED: Bots would "waste money" very much
* FIXED: Bots would fire the pistol very slowly.
* FIXED: New bots joining the game would use the stats of a
  previously kicked one.
* FIXED: Bot would sometimes stay in a small area and patrol
  between 2 different waypoints all the time (isn't fixed 
  completely)
* FIXED: Bots would not properly avoid teammate's path.
* Bots will attemp to fulfill mission goals more often and do
  stuff which fits to their task in the game (T/CT). They won't
  camp if they are on the offensive side.
* Better combat behaviour and enemy sensing. 
* Added Waypoint Editor Features to the podbotmenu.
* Fixed Waypoints of cs_siege, de_dust, de_dust2 
  (thanks to MarD, again).
* Added new personality system with 5 attributes: Courage, 
  Intelligence, Phreak, Reaction, Aim. Those are generated at the
  creation of a bot and affect the behaviour and skill of the 
  bot. The old three personalities are now obsolete, but are   
  included as basic "classes"... (future versions will include 
  a user-customizable class-system). 
  The botskill.cfg (epbskill.cfg) is from this cause
  abandoned. The respective values are now hardcoded.
* Bots will now try to open doors more smartly and press also the
  +use button, because there are some doors which open only thru
  that (e.g. on cs_zoption).
* Added UltraSkill-Mode (toggleble thru epb.cfg) for bot-skills
  from 101 to 200. (does not work very well: you will gain about
  10%-20% noticeable skill improvement.)
* Added commands "add_t x" and "add_ct x", where x is the number
  of bots to be added to the specific team (t/ct).
* Added commands "kick_t x" and "kick_ct x", where y is the 
  number of bots to be kicked from the specific team.
  (Both commands may not work properly if used with very high   
  numbers.)
* Some values changed, better aiming and reaction times. Some
  other fixes, additions and enhancements I propably forgot.


= Version IIb - May 21, 2003 =
Compared to EPB Version IIa

* FIXED: Bug in Combat Behaviour
* FIXED: Missing liblist.gam
* FIXED: Missing zbeam6.spr
* FIXED: Metamod incompatiblity due to freaky folder name
  (it now is EPODbot, not E-POD.bot)
* Added denyselect.wav file, which is played when pressing the
  USE button. This one is very quiet. (Bot's press the key while
  trying to unstuck)
* Tweaked Bot Hearing Distances (USE button!! but not only...)

= Version IIa - May 19, 2003 =
Compared to EPB Version II

* FIXED: Sniper/Pistol Weapon Switch Bug
* FIXED: Bug in Hostage Fix (was ineffective in some cases)
* FIXED: Bug in Bomb Planting (didn't work in some cases)
* FIXED: Bots' aim travel down as they fired and were very
  inaccurate (incompatiblity of Steve++'s Fix)
* FIXED: Crash on kicking bot/s; Scary "Round Draw" Bug
* FIXED: Faulty botskill.cfg
* FIXED: Bot spent too much money on weapons an couldn't buy
  armor or grenades very often.
* FIXED: KNIFING!
* Tweaked aiming, reaction times, bot-chat
* New "smart" combat behaviour, affected by personality more
  heavily. 
* Recoded 1-100 skill system and skilldisplay
* Use of radio messages can be restricted in 4 levels:
   0: bots use all message
   1: bots don't use Negative, Enemy down, Reporting in
   2: like 1, but without Enemy spotted, Roger, In Position
   3: bots use no radio messages
* Bots will attemp to fulfill mission goals more often
  FOR WAYPOINTERS: On de_maps do not place only one goal 
  waypoint at each plant site, but several goal points inside
  the planting site radius. On cs_maps do not only place one
  goal in the room where the hostages are, but close to the 
  hostages and between them, if necessary up to one waypoint
  per hostage.
* While trying to unstuck, bots will hit the USE Button several
  times. This is helpful to open such door which you have to use
  in order to open them or if getting stuck on/in elevators.
* Added some support for funmaps of the types AWP/AWM, AIM, FY
  Will be further extended. 
  FOR WAYPOINTERS: On AWP and AIM maps goal waypoints mean the
  weapons lying on the ground. Place them as close as possible.
  On FY maps goal-points will mean buy zones (does not work yet)
* Stand-alone version. No previous bot installation required.
  Will install to folder \cstrike\E-POD.bot
  Filenames: EPB.dll (podbot.dll)
             EPB.cfg (podbot.cfg)
             EPBskill.cfg (botskill.cfg)
             EPBwpns.cfg  (botweapons.cfg)
             EPBspray.cfg (botspray.cfg)
             EPBnames.txt (botnames.txt)
             EPBchat.txt (botchat.txt)
  Waypt.-Dir:wptEPB (wptDefault)
* Included CountFloyd's POD-Bot manuals
* Include E[POD]bot FAQ
* New and updated EPBchat.txt
* Updated and optimized waypoints done by me and MarD. Of course
  every PODWAY-File can be used for EPB (see notes above).
  Supported maps: as_highrise,  as_oilrig,  as_riverside, 
   as_tundra,  awp_map,  cs_747,  cs_arabstreets, 
   cs_assault,  cs_backalley,  cs_bunker,  cs_desert, 
   cs_docks,  cs_estate,  cs_facility,  cs_havana, 
   cs_hideout,  cs_iraq,  cs_italy,  cs_mansion, 
   cs_militia,  cs_office,  cs_ship,  cs_siege, 
   cs_station,  cs_tire,  cs_wpndepot,  cs_zoption, 
   de_aztec,  de_bretagne,  de_cbble,  de_chateau, 
   de_dawn,  de_dust,  de_dust2,  de_fang,  
   de_foption,  de_inferno,  de_nowhere_x,  de_nuke, 
   de_piranesi,  de_prodigy,  de_rotterdam,  de_storm, 
   de_survivor,  de_torn,  de_train,  de_vegas, 
   de_vertigo,  fy_iceworld 
  Original waypoint authors: CountFloyd, TAZ, Mr.Muck, ISD,
  Mario, Spawn, AxelRose, Psyke (only a few started from scratch)
* If waypoint editor is activated, all bots are kicked 
  automatically, roundtime is set to 9 minutes and timelimit is
  disabled. This makes waypointing much easier.
* If you enter "waypoint on noclip" a second time, you will stay
  in waypointing-mode but noclip-mode will be deactivated. So 
  you can switch between walk and fly without turning off the
  waypoint editor.
            
= Version II - April 01, 2003 =
Compared to EPB Version I

* FIXED: Waypoint Editor
* FIXED: Bots won't shoot sometimes
* FIXED: Ignoring of 'patherrmsg' setting
* FIXED: Something about movement... Hard to describe...
* FIXED: Bots' aim travel up as they fired (thanks to Steve++)
* Replaced Waypoint sprites by more modern ones
* Again better combat behaviour, much better at high distance
  bots slow down in combat to be more precise,...
* AWESOME Sniping !!
* Improved Pathfinding (but still some glitches)
* They are at a high skill niveau again (suffered in EPB 1)
* Raised agression levels again to get more action and fun
* Replaced "Newround" command by "Restart Map"
* Tweaked Weapon Priorities

= Version I - March 13, 2003 =
Compared to PODBOT 2.5

* FIXED: Bomb Planting and Defusing issues. Now works properly
  (nearly) everytime.
* FIXED: Bots' ability to own with short range weapons like
  shotguns that much, even at high range. Now they have the same
  problems with these weapons as normal players.
* FIXED: Terrorist Bots trying to 'use' hostages (was quite
  senseless in old versions of CS anyway...)
* FIXED: Now supports up to 16 bots without using a name twice.
* FIXED: Weapon Mode Menu entry #7 not selectable.
* WORKAROUND: Hostages are invulnerable to prevent HL crashing
  when a hostage who follows a bot is killed (applies since
  CS 1.3) - this can be turned off in podbot.cfg
* A Vistable provides better covering.
* Better combat behaviour (not that machine-like and n00b-like)
  (aiming, strafing, etc.)
* Bots reload more often.
* No skilldisplay anymore (If you want it back please just say!)
* Bots use grenades more often.
* Much better sniper usage, but still no match for a human :-(.
* Bots move more tactically. (Bug?)
* Changed buying routines, now they sometimes throw away primary
  weapons to buy new ones. (But they will never drop a Ak-47 to
  buy a Mac-10 or something like that!)
(Some of these features were already done in PODBOT 2.6)

9. Rumours
==========
I searched the WHOLE CODE and there is NO CHEAT THAT GIVES YOU
A ROCKET LAUNCHER!!! Absolutely NOT , and this ISN'T a HINT FOR
YOU TO KEEP TYPING things like "name botman" at the CONSOLE,
because it just WILL NOT WORK! There are several fun-modes
(see Count Floyd's Manual), but no cheats!
