Help Installing IvPBot?

[darksinder]

Which directory am i supposed to install ivpbot in if i am using steam counter-strike 1.6? I am very confused and can't find out why i can't get the bots to enter game after trying to install it in all of the different directories in the steal directory and it still doesn't work in any of them....

Just install it to up one level of your "cstrike" folder (e.g. Steam\SteamApps\*EMAIL*\counter-strike)
after that, set your liblist.gam (which should be in your "cstrike" folder) to "Read-only" mode by right-click it -> choose Properties -> In General tab, tick the option "Read-only"

Good luck!

eh, when i tried to install i followed those directions, but when i try to go into cs and create game hl errors and cs exits

hmm... maybe you should try to delete your liblist

[Back4Now]

try this
check your liblist.gam it should look like this

game "Counter-Strike"
url_info "www.counter-strike.net (http://www.counter-strike.net)"
url_dl ""
version "1.6"
size "184000000"
svonly "0"
secure "1"
type "multiplayer_only"
cldll "1"
hlversion "1110"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_player_start"
gamedll "ivpbot\ivpbot.dll"
gamedll_linux "ivpbot/ivpbot_i486.so"
trainmap "tr_1"


also check your config.cfg

it shoul have the line
bind "=" "podbotmenu"

in it this brings up the podbot menu / or ivpbot menu

hope this helps

My liblist.gam looks exactly like that -- but still nothing. I go to create a new game -- and nothing happens. At least I don't get a crash -- but I can't create a game, either.

im running 1.1.1 on steam, cs1.6 and it works great

I have the same version as you -- have the ipvbot folder in my "Steam\SteamApps\*EMAIL*\counter-strike" folder -- have the liblist.gam file in the "Steam\SteamApps\*EMAIL*\counter-strike\cstrike" folder altered so that it looks identical to that -- but still nothing happens. If I put things back the way they were -- I can start up a new game normally. But when I replace the liblist.gam file I can't start one up at all.

I also had problems but after following KacaT's advice cs 1.6 doesnt crash anymore with a xp error message:

KaCaT:
"Before you install the bot, go to create a game in CS, then quit it (this will create the mp.dll which is needed by bots).

After you installed the bot, open liblist.gam in cstrike folder with notepad, replace
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
with
gamedll "ivpbot\ivpbot.dll"
Then, save the file and set its attribute to "Read-Only" mode by Right-Click on liblist.gam -> choose Properties from the menu -> Select Read-only from the General tab."

I also didn't have te mp.dll so that's probably your error.
I hope this solves your problem

this is the directory structer that is on my machine:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\My@e-Mail.com\counter-strike\cstrike\ivpbot

So it looks like you ipvbot directory might be in the wrong location.

hope this helps

Exactly right -- I looked at the directory structure of the entry in the liblist.gam file of the line I was replacing -- and realized that the instructions given by KacaT for putting the ivpbot was incorrect. Once I put them down one level into the cstrike directory -- it worked. I've been playing a few rounds now with the bots and am certainly pleased with the effort. I did notice that unlike the source they came from (podbot 2.5) -- the CT bots don't seem to "hear" when the bomb is planted. I was testing on de_dust. Is this true for other maps as well?
