SturmBot v1.7 "Stosstruppe" and "Scharfschtze" Bot Class Fix
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Sturmbot v1.7 AI bot addon for Day of Defeat suffers from a problem that
causes any bots that are of the Stosstruppe Axis team class (bots with a K43
rifle) to hardly ever attack.

I have previously hosted quite a few games were all of my buddies that were on
the Axis team noticed this problem, saying "I've got a SturmBot here who has 0
kills and 20 deaths!"... but I simply chalked that up to "luck" (or lack
thereof), and was glad that SturmBot wasn't on MY team LOL!

Recently I've performed a few tests on my own that confirm this problem with
the "Stosstruppe" axis team class SturmBots. Any bots that are of this class
(or have a K43 rifle for their weapon) will only occasionally use grenades, or
occasionally attack with a few rifle head-butts or their pistols. But other
than that, they will NEVER fire their K43 rifles.

Lastly, there is also a problem with ALL versions of SturmBot that prevents any
Scharfschtze Axis team class bots (bots with a K98 sniper rifle) from spawning
on any Axis Paratrooper maps.

The "cls_k98s" entry in the "Sturm_Bot.dll" file was inadvertently named
"cls_sniper", and is directly responsible for this problem.

The hex-edited "Sturm_Bot.dll" file included in this archive fixes these two
problems. There are three "Sturm_Bot.dll" files included in this archive:

Sturm_Bot_v1.7.dll - Original unedited SturmBot version 1.7 bot module (for
                     backup purposes).

Sturm_Bot_v1.8.dll - Hex-edited SturmBot version 1.7 bot module. Note that I
                     have changed the SturmBot version number to "1.8" to
                     prevent any confusion with the official version 1.7
                     release of SturmBot.

Sturm_Bot.dll      - Copy of the hex-edited SturmBot version 1.8 bot module
                     listed above (for backup purposes). Note that this is the
                     file that you will install (as detailed below).

To install, simply unzip the "Sturm_Bot.dll" file(s) contained in the
"SturmBot_v1.7_Stosstruppe_and_Scharfschutze_Bot_Class_Fix.zip" archive to the
"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<USER_NAME>\Day of Defeat\DoD\SturmBot\Dlls"
directory on your hard drive (or wherever your installed version of the
"Sturm_Bot.dll" file is located on your hard drive), overwriting the original.

Note that the "<USER_NAME>" subdirectory is named the same as your main Steam
account login name.

To uninstall, simply restore the original "Sturm_Bot.dll" file (using the
included "Sturm_Bot_v1.7.dll" file) in the above-mentioned directory.


ENJOY!
