Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

Go to addons\metamod\plugins.ini and disable by a semicolon every plugin loaded from there (includiong also podbot mm). Save it then start the game and check if it still closes Your CS. If no - write in the console:
meta version
and post here the output.
If even in that case (if everything is disabled) You are still having troubles with loading the game - it's not related to podbot mm.

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

I got the same problem. At first, I thought that this is all because I'm running CS 1.6 on Vista, but when I uninstolled all_in_one_2_8g pack it work.
Here my output for "meta version"

Metamod v1.19 2006-04-17 (5:13)

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

I'm running Windows Vista Home Preimum, but yet the bots are running just fine.

Maybe you are trying to load a map that is not compatible with the bots.

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

None of that works, so I think I'll just have to try some other bots.

Thanks all for your help anyway.

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

I tried all of the standard maps, such as assault, dust, aztec atc. but the result is the same. Game starts, but fails at the time round begin.

I'm running Vista Business.

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

hmmm....
The only real difference I see between our versions is the File Encryption System.

Maybe try reinstalling the bots by extracting into the cstrike folder.
You can probably delete the entire Counter-strike folder to start a fresh copy.

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

One thing has to be clear. If You are installing all-in-one package that's right - You have to unzip everything into the main cstrike (or czero) folder (depanding of the mod You are playing). If You are installing the fullpack (wiithout amxx and without metamod included into the package) You have to install everything into the cstrike\addons (czero\addons ) folder.

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

I tried to reinstall all-in-one package as well as CS itself a few time, but it still fails.

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

Are You using CS1.6 steam based or it's CS 1.6 non-steam version?

Re: POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close
 

CS 1.6 Steam based. Why? DO I need to patch my CS to non-steam? If yes, which patch is better?
