Re: players vs bots
 

It does not make any sense to have the bot.dll load metamod because it's not open source. There's no licence violation as far as I can see because the two are totally independant of each other. The bot.dll is not a metamod plugin, which is what the license is all about. If you convert epod to a metamod plugin, then only at that point do you have to os the code.

Re: players vs bots
 

KWo I make E[POD]bot to load metamod so in this way it will be more easy for the new guys. You must just install metamod and all plugins for it. After that just install E[POD]bot and the EPB.dll will load metamod.dll and metamod will load the others plugins. Your liblist.gam must use the EPB.dll. In this way you don't need by +localinfo stuff. I hope that you understand what I mean. :)

Re: players vs bots
 

THE_STORM loading metamod as you describe is not a bad idea, but I think you should have something in the bots cfg file to enable or disable the feature (if you don't have this already).

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

Yes! more options! w00t! I love being able to tinker around with every part of a bot.. it makes me feel all warm inside. :D

I'd like to also say that having epb use its own prefix for console commands is a great idea THE_STORM, it'll make it more dedicated server friendly, and closer to multiple bot friendly. :)

maybe someday epodbot and podbot mm can coexist inna server without them like, merging. ;)

Re: players vs bots
 

After changing the prefix it will not be a problem to run EPB with podbot mm in one dedicated server. :)
botmeister there still not a config command for loading metamod. But I now planing to make EPB a real metamod plugin. ;)

Re: players vs bots
 

wow, lol i went on a trip for like 3 days and theres 15 new posts to this thread. lol. Ok i tried reading what everyone asid but you guys were contradicting eachother, and saying its right, then its wrong, so i dunno what to do. I uninstalled epb's and amxmodx, then reinstalled them. I then placed mean into my dedicated cstrike folder, and changed the liblist.gam to this

game "Counter-Strike"
url_info "www.counter-strike.net"
url_dl ""
version "1.5"
size "184000000"
svonly "0"
secure "0"
type "multiplayer_only"
cldll "1"
hlversion "1110"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_player_deathmatch"
gamedll "mean\mean.dll"
gamedll_linux "EPODbot/EPB_i386.so"

So first of all, is that even correcrt? And second, (if anything) what should i add onto the target line?

ps: when i was reading the install.txt for meanmod, it said only to add onto the dedicated server target line if im using a linux server. Now as far as i know, this is a win 32 steam dedicated server. So why would i use the linux set up method? ANyways, i really hope we can hammer this down and figure out how to get this to work.

thanks you guys-:D

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

Brett, did you get the shortcut file I sent you in hotmail? try that, it should work fine. You'll of course need to change the directory it's looking for the hlds.exe in since I do doupt your comp's setup like mine. After that it should work fine. :)

Re: players vs bots
 

hey yeah i jsut saw that. I will try it out and tell you

thanks;)

Re: players vs bots
 

k i edited the shortcut, and meanmod seems to be working now, and the bots DID load this time. although, i entered m_botmode_botvshuman, and it said m_botmode is set to human vs bots, BUT the people in my server said it was still mixed!! lol

Re: players vs bots
 

First, make sure the epod is not loading any bots on its own. Check the bots.cfg file and comment out any addbot commands, and make sure the min/max bots is also commented out.

Second, set m_autobalancebots to set the number of bots that join the server, you can set it to be a ratio of humans to bots.

Finally make sure that m_enforcebotteam is set to "on" so that human players cannot join the bot team. You can also specify which team the bots are on with m_switchbotteam.

Look in the doc file MEAncommands.txt for all the details.

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

Heh, good to hear you got meanmod working with epodbot. :)

Yes, just follow those last few commands by botmeister and it should be fine.

Btw botmeister, when I added bots on my own, meanmod got mad n' deleted them, so he probably just forgot to set the bot's team.

Re: players vs bots
 

Sweet, im gonna go try it right now. Thanks for all the help you guys

Re: players vs bots
 

HEy, i got a few quick questions. are there any waypoints for epodbots? and where can i get them how do i install them?

second, i typed amx_cmds into consdesole, and also tried amx_cmads, but im trying to get it to list all the server commands. Not amx_help, but all the commands.

thanks again

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

What maps? there's plenty of waypoints.

I highly suggest you get this waypoint pack:
http://filebase.bots-united.com/inde...ion=file&id=51

I think SF said he did over 200 maps at least, so if your map's not too new it should be fully waypointed by one of the best waypointers on this board. Those waypoints were made with PODbot 2.x so they should be fully compatible with E[POD]bot. ;)

Re: players vs bots
 

thanks bro

Re: players vs bots
 

Could be the bot team setting, or the autobalance ratio kicked in and removed the bots because it thought there were too many. Look at the m_autobalancebots command to get the settings the way you want.

Re: players vs bots
 

hey im not sure if anyone still comes back to this forum, but hey mar D i fucked up my dedicated server direc. and erased mean mod, and the target line. lol i dont remember how i got it to work. So could u acces my computer remotly and set it up for me?? thanks

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

Heh, you gotta be careful with that stuff man. :P

Ok, just install metamod, you should be able to remember the directories, if not?

cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll

and don't forget to create a plugins file, just make your average text document in notepad or something like that, and save it to:

cstrike\addons\metamod\plugins.ini

ok, make sure after you save it, that it's not plugins.ini.txt if so just remove the .txt part.

I'm sure you still remember how to add the metamod plugins, all the "_mm.dll" are win32 and the directory of that dll.

Now, meanmod. If you got it in zip (mine came like that too I believe) just extract it into your cstrike directory.

Then? edit the cstrike\liblist.gam file and add a pound(#) sign infront of the gamedll and then add in this line somewhere below it:

gamedll "meanmod\meanmod.dll" or whatever the dll's name is.. should be that...

Then the target line should be this:

+localinfo mgamedll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll +localinfo mbotmod podbot_mm

Re: players vs bots
 

ok first of all. I thought i didnt need to do anything with the metamod dll, becuase the amxmodx installer puts it where it needs to be.

second, i keep messing up the liblist.gam. could u PLEASE paste whaty i should put into my liblist, including the epodbot.dll


And third, when i load the server with that target line, amxmmodx dosnt load. lol could u plesae just acces my computer, and make it 100 times easier on you and me,:D

Re: players vs bots
 

Hey you guys, what bots work on cz servers??

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

Hmm, I know PODbot mm supports CZ. I'm not sure which other ones do as well.. Check the other bot's forum sections for FAQs, they might help. ;)

Re: players vs bots
 

It's time e[pod]bot should support CZ , too. :)
Look what sPlOrYgOn made in pod code to support it. I guess it shouldn't be a big problem for THE_STORM. ;)

Re: players vs bots
 

Every bot that can be runned on CS 1.6 too can be runned and on CZ. EPB work with CZ tested by me but you still don't do that because I must change some code in EPB because EPB can detect only cstrike folder but not CZ folder so in the next release EPB will support CZ without any problem. :)

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

I heard you need to fix the model detection, cause I remember reading a podbot mm fix for that so I'd work fine in CZ.

Re: players vs bots
 

i tried to install podbot_mm but the read me confused me. Is it really as complicated as it sounds?

Re: players vs bots
 

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

At first it is a bit overwhelming, but then after getting it right, you realise how easy it is to setup. ;)

Just create a folder called "addons" in your "cstrike" folder

create another folder inside your "addons" folder called "metamod"

inside that folder, create another folder called "dlls" and that's where you put your "metamod.dll" file.

We'll start out with just this for now. Just answer back once you get this part nailed down. ;)

Re: players vs bots
 

well i already have metamod installed, becuase the amxmodx installer did that defualt

Re: players vs bots
 

Thanks a lot Whistler. :)

Re: players vs bots
 

im an idiot.... WHat do i do with that code?

Re: players vs bots
 

nothing.. you do what this guy said..

Re: players vs bots
 

Heyyo,

Ah, amx mod x installer, that's good.

Now, then, forget what I wrote, and post on here what's in your "liblist.gam". Just open it with notepad or someother text editor program (like openoffice, omgz! freeware pwnage right there ;) ).

Once you do that, I'll show you what your liblist.gam file should look like to include meanmod.
