Counter-Strike Beta 5.2 and SDK bots

[sd3mon]

Hi.

I just downloaded HL 1.0.1.6 patch and CS Beta 5.2 again (from http://csrelic.edgegaming.com/files.shtml ), and was looking for bots when I stumbled upon your sdk bots.

When installing CS 5.2, it created it's main directory as cstrike52. I then renamed it as cstrike (I thought bots would have trouble with this) and installed POD Bot 2.5, then proceeded to install the SDK bots.

addbot wouldn't work, and when trying it on my other computer, I got a DLL error.

Is there any documentation or help you could give me for the correct instructions for installing this bot? I think my folders are stuffed, as their is csbot and the others in the main Half-Life directory, and the waypoints for POD Bot in the cstrike directory.

Thanks in advance.

i dont think a PODBot for CS1.6 would work with Beta5 ;)

As far as i know, there WERE no bots back in the day of Beta5.2, no matter how nice it may have been

I think, but I could be mistaken, that back in these days the HL engine didn't support bots yet. Bots were supported since the SDK 2.0, I don't recall what was the engine version number then.

There were no bots back then, but on the yapb downloads page there is this:
Bots for old HL engine - Including HPB-Bot Template, POD-Bot 2.6, and BSDBot. Ported to HLSDK 1.0. Supports HL 1.0.1.3-1.0.1.6 and CS beta5/beta6

huh ? o_O I'm waiting for Whistler on that one

yes the old HL DOES support bots, just take at look at the botman's HL bot number 8 :)
(a word from botman ? :))

just install the original POD-Bot 2.5 to the CS beta5's HL main folder and copy my version of podbot.dll file in that archive to the cstrike\podbot folder and it should be okay... also don't copy all the files to the main HL folder; that just won't work. you only need the podbot.dll file in that archive :)
