Linux - Tried Everything (I think) - Help Please

[td3201]

Hey guys,

Here is my situation:
Redhat 9.0
RB 1.0
HLDS Steam
Metamod 1.17 (from rb website)

I start hlds with:
./hlds_run +localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/realbot_i486.so -game cstrike +maxplayers 16 +map de_aztec -autoupdate

In my server.cfg:
sv_aim 0
pausable 0
hostname "EgoIndustries CS 1.6"
sv_maxspeed 320
mp_timelimit 20
sv_cheats 0
log on
exec listip.cfg
exec banned.cfg
rcon_password "asdf"
exec addons/adminmod/config/adminmod.cfg
admin_bot_protection 1

In cstrike/addons/metamod/plugins.ini:
linux addons/adminmod/dlls/admin_MM_i386.so
linux addons/hlguard/dlls/hlguard_mm_i586.so
linux addons/statsme/dlls/sm_cstrike_mm_i386.so


Here is what I have tried:
1) Removing all the metamod plugins from plugins.ini
2) Removing admin mod completely

When I try to add a bot from the server console using:
rbds addbot_1_2_5_dude
I get no output from that command and status shows no new users.

What am I missing? Thank you!

Hi,

- try the metamod from adminmod.org (the lates binary release
- have waypoints (most old .rbw do work too) in place
- make shure the realbot.so file has been copied to cstrike/dlls

try once more :-)

1) adminmod.org doesnt have a metamod download. I went to metamod.org and grabbed their 1.17 version.
2) Are there some examples or defaults for a simple default map like assault?
3) Mine is realbot_i486.so, does it matter?

I've the same problem!
But i use hlds v4.1.1.0 with Counter-Strike 1.5 on Mandrake 9.2 Kernerl: 2.4.22
I start my server with ./hlds_run -game cstrike -insecure -nomaster +sv_lan 1 +maxplayers 12 +map de_train +localinfo mm_gamedll addons/realbot/dll/realbot_i486.so

I think the bots are correctly loaded, as i get this:

But when i try to add a bot with: "rbds addbot_1_2_5_dude" nothing happens!
If i do others things like: "rbds internet"
I get:
Internet Simulation : ENABLED

What's wrong with the command for adding a bot?

p.s.: Sorry for my english i'm german ;)

[td3201]

I don't see how that has anything to do with my situation. It appears as if realbot isn't even getting loaded for me.

1: there is an adminmod release containing metamod, use that.
2: most default maps are included in the win packages
3: that dll is the right one, just was too lazy to

[SGt_pAIn]

Dedicated server. try in server command line: rbds_addbot

[einstein]

"rbds_addbot" Does not work!
I dont get any output and there is no bot added!

Hi,
i use rcon to controll a steam cs 1.6 server running, RealBot A.I. 1.0 Build 2047 (the old one). in rcon i use these commands to controll bots:

rcon rbds removebot_1_1 (remove one terror)
rcon rbds removebot_1_2 (remove one ct)
rcon rbds addbot_1 (add t)
rcon rbds addbot_2 (add ct)
rcon rbds addbot_2_5_9 (add dumb ct)
rcon rbds addbot_2_5_1 (add clever ct)
rcon rbds skill_5 (...)

if you use WIP realbots _look_ at the progrss thread, it describes the new commands.

have you found the metamod from Will, on adminmod.org ?
i can give you amx server-commands to controll your bots from within the amx menu

[td3201]

Well, using the rcon commands produced no output either. The module must not be loading.....what else could it be?

Any way to see what modules are loaded?

[Fiber_Optic]

Any way to see what modules are loaded?

Sure! Since you installed metamod, type:
meta list

It will show the list of the modules, and their states (run, pause, etc...)

[Onno Kreuzinger]

Any way to see what modules are loaded? remember realbot 1.0 is _NO_ module, it has nothing to do with metamod, thus if you start it (the cs server running realbot) it is working if does not crash. so _atleast_ to get it working once, DONT START METAMOD, only start realbot via the liblist.gam as only game dll.

otherwise go to the metmod/adminmod forums and ask there, i bet 50 € it's not the fault of the realbot .so file.


Regards MeMeD

p.s. rcon commands themselves usually wont give an feedback at all, the only rcon printing some info is rcon banid (which returns usage) or commands explicitly generating an answer (stat stats)

td3201 - I have been trying to get rbv10 working on my linux hlds_l dedicated server since the end of December. I have also tried the WIP metamod plugins as well.

They don't work for linux and CS 1.6. I haven't seen or heard from one user on this forum that has a working version of RealBot and linux for the stand-alone hlds_l dedicated server of CS 1.6.

[td3201]

Well.....that's comforting...heh....is it pointless?

[einstein]

In my case Realbot is running because every command gives an output, only "rbds addbot" doesnt creat an output
:'(

[sauza]

From what I've experienced so far, with the versions that have been released up to this point, it just doesn't work properly.

I do believe that The Main Man will be giving us a working version of the RealBot very soon.

what who , please don't spead this nonsense here !

Realbot 1.0 works works works works works

217.160.167.106:27015

since steam beta i run this bot with 1.6, it allways worked with linux
there have allways been people running it, but im too lazy to write lenghty howtos or make download packs, not until RB WIP@linux works.

you must be aware of a lot of linux stuff bevore it will work, and to get it work with metamod you have to do even more tricks, and yet the server will crash from time to time if using adminmod or amx, due to new bots having random stats.

and i know of at least 3 servers mentioned here in the board running realbot 1.0, so pls. learn to search before ranting :-)

Cheers MeMeD

- do you have waypoit files for the map you are playing
- you will need realbot 1.0 also installed on windows, to make and edit waypoint files
- did you wait before starting bots, see bot.cfg (missing in linux archive, use the one from wndows)

Cheers MeMeD

[td3201]

After some research and testing, I have some conclusions. Here is my setup:
Redhat 9
CS 1.6 Dedicated (steam)
Realbot v1.0
No other plugins (yet)

This works. Just follow the directions on the installation page. You also need to add a symlink like this:
cd hlds_l/cstrike/dlls
ln -s realbot_i486.so realbot_i386.so

I think this has something to do with the most recent Steam update.

Some behavior that's weird:
If I copy and paste the following into the console, it doesnt add all the users:
rbds csversion_1
rbds addbot_1_5_5_b1ug0d-TDL
rbds addbot_1_8_5_Mr_President
rbds addbot_1_4_5_foobar
rbds addbot_2_6_5_I_love_CS
rbds addbot_2_7_5_n30
rbds addbot 2_4_5_pane-TDL

I have to add the users slowly one at a time.

If you type rbds csversion_1 for the first time, it changes the play to 1.6. If you type the exact command again, it switches it to 1.5. I don't think this is the intended behavior. You should have to explicitly type rbds csversion_0 to switch it to 1.5.

That is my $.02. Now that I have gotten this far, I am going to attempt to get my other mods running.


ALSO,

I tried the WIP version. I am confused on this. Is this a metamod plugin? If so, I couldn't get it to work.

[Onno Kreuzinger]

ahh now it works :-)

the issue with i486 i386 is new to me, someone reported this, but i just looked, i don't have this softlink, and yes its still working after the latest steam update :-)

the "not too fast adding" issue is documenented, and at least the bot.cfg from the windows pack has delays in it's sample setup.
the issue with cs_version is also new to me, since i only adjust this in the bot.cfg.

the WIP linux version is reportetly not working, there are no releases from stefan, after discovering the issues with metamod and the hlsdk updates, not jet made public. a hunt for all the patches ans special version found were started and resultet in a new src base for compiling metamod (patched) and bots (working for HPB_Bot 4.0).

so i'm kind of spamming this board while waiting for WIP@linux :-)

P.S.
CONGRATULATIONS TO STEFAN FOR PASSING HIS DRIVING EXAM !!!!!!!!

I'm not trying to get into an arguement about rbv10. I just haven't had any luck with it. I asked for assistance on the old RealBot bulletin board and this board at bots-united trying to get some help. No one stepped up offering any suggestions, so I concluded based on the lack of responses and my experience that the linux version of RealBot 1.0 wasn't working properly on linux servers.

Thanks for all the good information in the above posts. I will try these on my server while I wait for the WIP for linux.

Maybe the linux directions for rbv10 could be edited to add the steps td3201 and memed discovered.

I've now installed RB on my Windows CS 1.5, i've started a ListenServer on cs_italy and waited for making the waypoints. Then i've put the created waypoints file on my Linux Server and started it on cs_italy.
I waited really a long time, then i tried to add a bot, but it's not yet working!

Is there anyone at all, who is running a CS 1.5 Linux Server with RB????:(

[einstein]

It works for me now!
Thx a lot to the people, helping me with my problem!
But the problem was my installation dir. I've reinstalled RB exactly like in the Readme and now it works!
I know that i should have :RTFM: firts but I did not expect that the installation dir makes any difference!
