Class Weaponry will be finished in Pogamut 3.0.4 that should be out in a week or two.

Apart from this, some general infromation about UT2004 weapons and objects is here: UT2004 objects.

To see a complete list of Pogamut 3 commands consult JavaDoc and search for command message. Command for changing weapon is ChangeWeapon or something like that.

Now about how to obtain a list of bot weapons. Create a listener for ItemPickedUp message and look if the object is a weapon, if yes, add it to your list of bots current weapons.

Thanks.
Now I'm using Weaponry from version 3.0.4 and in constructor, there is new parameter ItemDescriptions. Where it should be taken from? Because when I created new ItemDescriptors(bot), I got an error (nullpointerexception) in Weaponry class.

Tomas

First thing - modules should be initialized in prepareBot(UT2004Bot bot) method. Don't forget to call super.prepareBot(bot); first, otherwise your bot won't work.

Second thing - there is a small bug in GameBots in 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 that causes the Weaponry module to fail on Java Null Pointer in any game that has Translocator weapon spawned by default for the bots. To fix this download and install GameBots fix (2359). In deathmatch it should work fine anyway.

Example of correct initializaiton of weaponry module:

AgentInfo agentInfo;
    Weaponry weap;
    ItemDescriptors id;
    Game game;    
    
    @Override
    public void prepareBot(UT2004Bot bot) {
        super.prepareBot(bot);

        game = new Game(bot);
        agentInfo = new AgentInfo(bot, game);
        id = new ItemDescriptors(bot);
        weap = new Weaponry(bot,agentInfo,id);
    }

I have another promblem now. When I change weapon ( weaponry.changeWeapon(ItemType.FLAK_CANNON); ), it change weapon to flak cannon, but it fails with error:

(GoalBot1) SEVERE 12:54:52.685 Fatal error in WorldView113: Exception raising event InfoMessageWeaponUpdate | Id = DM-Trainingday.AssaultRifle | PrimaryAmmo = 100 | SecondaryAmmo = 4 |

Thanks a lot for helping me.

There is a bug in Weaponry module, line 839 there.

There shouldn't be event.getId(), but InventoryType of the weapon with Id. You can get it through getItemTypeForId() in Weaponry.java, but it needs unreal Id, so you need to convert string variable to UnrealId.
Try to put there this:

WeaponDescriptor weaponDesc = (WeaponDescriptor)itemDescriptors.getDescriptor(getItemTypeForId(UnrealId.get(event.getId())));

instead of old:

WeaponDescriptor weaponDesc = (WeaponDescriptor)itemDescriptors.getDescriptor(event.getId());

This is fixed now in repository and will be included in next version. Thx for bug report!

Hi again,

I have a question about retrieving information about current count of ammo of specific weapon. When I use bot.weaponry.getPrimaryWeaponAmmo(ItemType.FLAK_CANNON); I get right number (for example 15), but it is not decreased by shooting (still 15, but bot has already shot in primary mode). When I use bot.agentinfo.getCurrentAmmo(); it returns correct number (14 after shoot), but only for current weapon. Is it bug or feature?

Tomas

Hi!

Sure it's a bug ;-) ... or it will be until we find out that we can't get the right info out of GB2004.

Michal - how are you exporting WeaponUpdate messages? Weaponry depends on them (surely it also watches the Self but as Tomas said, it provides limited info to the agent).

Cheers!
Jimmy

Weaponry module is fixed now. To fix this bug we needed to make changes in GameBots as well, so if you update PogamutUT2004 and gamebots from repository, it should work fine now.

Best,
Michal

Thank You a lot
