Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

OK. I guess I need the SDK source. crap. I don't have it on my box. I can do it a bit later today. It's like snowing like crazy outside and we don't get snow that often in Portland, OR. Plus my 4 year old is going crazy to get me to leave my keyboard and go build a snowman with her. Father duty calls.

I'll compile the new binary later today. Or can someone else do it sooner?

cool! it would be great to have a working 'for everyone' version of the linux .so file of metamod. :D

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

I'm not very well versed in linux. The linux server I'm running is off of a hosted computer. I could try to compile some source code if someone would hold my hand and tell me what commands I need to use.

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

then don't try it, i am not an experienced linux user either. Only with some help with PMB i dare to touch linux and makefiles, but when i have to try on my own there is one magical word that keeps me safe:

Backup

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

Dethpod, how's the recompile coming? Any luck?

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

Hi Folks, besides a bing THANK YOU for Stefan for RB at all,

i must admit, it also fails for me, and i also suffer from not having an apropiate compile enviroment, and failing binary modules downloadable.
i have tried to get it all: metamod source + stefan's modified code copied into, hlsdk2.3 modified from metamod.org (as well as the original) and of course several binary .so's for metamod "found" on the net were tried before ...

my compilers are gcc-2.95.3 (and 2.96-113 + gcc 3.2), at the end the least count of errors where reported with gcc-2-95.3 (the only gcc i really tried ) and the combined src code bases for metamod and the (partitial) hlsdk2.3 from metamod.org (no original hlsdk2 src'es).
and the error smells like C++ syntax warnings from the gcc, but they seem fatal, so did not disable the strict makefile settings from the makefile (i.e. stop at warning, dont continue). and here it comes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

p.s.
happy new year to all of you :)

p.p.s.
i can compile and i'm realy HOT for the new RealBot, so don't hesitate to tell what i could do :)

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

i have updated my downloads page:

- it includes now the latest needed header files of the SDK so you can compile the metasource

What you need to compile the metasource:

- the original metamod 1.17
- the original sdk 2.3

THEN:

- patch your metamod source files with the ones at the realbot site
- patch your SDK with the 'update' package on the realbot site

try to compile.

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

Hi, thanks for the quick reply !

i tried, and now it compiles (using gcc3.2).
but realbot still does not load in metamod:

which looks very strange, so i perhaps made a mistake somewhere, any clues ?

/edit
i have made one thing differnt from your guide, i used the 2.3 sdk from metamod.org/files/sdk, which claimed to fix gcc issues, which it did, i.e. using the original steam sdk (a windows exe) the compile fails with include and def. errors.

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

Hey Guys,

I compiled the custom metamod per your headers & source code but I get the same error when I try to load it in CS.

Maybe Memed will have better luck,

Re: Custom Metamod for Realbot not working for Linux
 

i hope, for now im only faster in bug reporting :)

but perhaps you could could try to follow this thread, so someone can verify my results, since this is the first time i compile cs stuff.

perhaps there are still some differences in the src code trees, since the metamod supplied by stefan did throw the error:
undefined symbol: _ZSt15set_new_handlerPFvvE
Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from ./cstrike/addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so!

for me too, while my metmod (and the one from adminmod) had the not loading error, other reported too.
(just an idea)
