Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
No, this is not the right way to disable plugins. When I say "in front of the line", I meant like this:
;win32 addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm.dll

Don't put both - linux and windows calls. Your PC has to have only one operating system to start CS - either it's windows (then You need to put all "win32" calls) or it's linux (then You need to put only those lines they begin with "linux").

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
ive tried wat you told me to do but my cs still crashes....... i put semicolon for both amx and podbot (win32).

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
That means Your CS doesn't load (for some reason) the metamod. Make sure if Your metamod is 1.19.0.0 version (right click in addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll file and see some properties of that file). Make sure Your liblist.gam in the main "cstrike" folder contains this line:
gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
and it doesn't contain that one anymore:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
If all of that is OK and it still crashes - just reinstall the steam.

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
CS1.6 non steam is not supported (it's illegal and You cannot get support for it on any serious forum). Don't ask for it - it's like a nightmare.

I have no clue what I can say more in that matter. Reinstall the steam and install podbot mm and metamod again. If You are using CS1.6 non-steam version - that is not supported.

No - there is no podbot mm (podbot metamod) version no needing metamod. You can try epodbot - it can be loaded without metamod.

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
I installed it on my server but the amx_pbmenu does not work what could be the reason for that if the bot are running good on the server?

1. Download the latest binaries file from :
http://metamod.org/
Currently the latest file You need is this:
a) if You have windows:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/m...n.zip?download
b) if You have linux:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/m...ar.gz?download
c) if You have AMD64 linux:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/m...ar.gz?download

2. If You don't have yet the "addons" directory in Your mod directory (mod directory I mean "cstrike" or "czero" directory), then You have to create it. Example for CS1.6 steam version:
C:\Program Files\Sierra\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.address\co unter-strike\cstrike\addons

Example for old WON CS1.5 version:
C:\Program Files\Sierra\Half-Life\cstrike\addons

3. In that created by You addons directory (step previous), You need to create also metamod directory and inside it also dlls directory.
Example:
...cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls

4. Extract this file You downloaded from metamod web site (first step) and just copy metamod.dll file to this \metamod\dlls subdirectory You created in step 3. For linux users the name of this file You need to copy instead metamod.dll it's metamod_i386.so or metamod_amd64.so (for AMD64 linux users).

5. Go to Your metamod directory and then create a plugins.ini file (text file) and put there this line:

a) for windows:
win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll

b) for "normal" linux:
linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so

c) for AMD64 linux:
linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_amd64.so

This plugins.ini file should be in metamod directory (not in metamod\dlls).

6. Go to Your mod directory (for example "cstrike" or "czero") and find this file - liblist.gam

7. Change this line in it:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"

to this:
gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
or for linux
gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
or for AMD64 linux
gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_amd64.so"

Note - bring attention at these slashes (for win "\", for linux "/").

8. Download Full pack podbot mm V3Build15c from here
and extract it to Your addons directory. You have to see these directories after extracting:
...\cstrike\addons\podbot (and some subdirectories here...)
...\cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls

9. If there is some build more up-to date - download the latest build of PODbot and replace (after extracting from a zip file) podbot_mm.dll (for windows). You can get it here.
For linux i386 get the file and linux amd64 get here.

You may use this dll (or so for linux) if it will be more up to date, because it may inlude more features than the one from V3Build15c (currently binaries are the same - all of them are V3Build15c).

10. Try to start the game and say us if this was sufficient what I was writting about a half hour... :P

[EDIT=KWo]
Updated the links to the newest metamod.
Changed a bit description to show the version R2B46c instead too much confusing and too much bugged R2.1 .
Changed a bit description to show the version R2B46d instead R2B46c, added a link to AMD64.
Changed a bit description to show the version V3Build15c instead R2B46d.

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
Hi everyone o/

Recently the organisation that ran the CS 1.6 Gungame server I've been playing on for the past few years, FunXP, have decided to call it a day, leaving a number of gungamers without a home.

6 of us have decided to team together to start a new dedicated server with as close as possible to the same version of the game running, and to cut a long story short, somehow I have acquired the task of setting it up on a linux server.

I say "somehow" because I have almost zero knowledge of linux (having once set up an FTP server 5 or 6 years ago) and having never set up a dedicated CS server before.

Now, with the documentation and threads I've found on various websites and forums, I've struggled through and have managed to install Steam, CS, Metamod, AMX MOD X, the Gungame plugin and the multi-jump plugin, but I can't seem to get the podbot plugin to work.

I've read this whole thread (and the other help sticky on this forum) and tried all the possible "fixes" suggested in both, but still the plugin doesn't seem to be being called by metamod (i think).

Typing "meta list" into the console I get...

Code:

] meta list
Currently running plugins:
 [  1] AMX Mod X, v1.8.1.3746, Aug 16 2008, by AMX Mod X Dev Team, see http://www.amxmodx.org
 [  2] Fun, v1.8.1.3746, Aug 16 2008, by AMX Mod X Dev Team, see http://www.amxmodx.org
 [  3] FakeMeta, v1.8.1.3746, Aug 16 2008, by AMX Mod X Dev Team, see http://www.amxmodx.org
 [  4] CStrike, v1.8.1.3746, Aug 16 2008, by AMX Mod X Dev Team, see http://www.amxmodx.org
 [  5] CSX, v1.8.1.3746, Aug 16 2008, by AMX Mod X Dev Team, see http://www.amxmodx.org/
 [  6] Ham Sandwich, v1.8.1.3746, Aug 16 2008, by AMX Mod X Dev Team, see http://www.amxmodx.org
 [  7] Engine, v1.8.1.3746, Aug 16 2008, by AMX Mod X Dev Team, see http://www.amxmodx.org
7 plugins
Unknown command meta

...so I presume that means that the plugin isn't being loaded at all.

I noticed someone else on this forum had managed to load it manually from the console using a "meta load" command, so I tried that, but it tells me I have only 2 "meta" commands... "version" and "list"... so I guess that person has either a different version of metamod or at least extra functionality that I don't have active on mine.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me. I'm so out of my depth, but I don't want to disappoint the public. :clown:

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
From Your meta list command I can see Your metamod is not even trying to load podbot mm, so metamod's plugins.ini is not even calling it. Go back to the second post of this topic and read again how to point metamod to load podbot_mm_i386.so. Don't forget to install first the fullpack of podbot mm, then update only binaries to the latest version (called "beta", but it really should be called as "build").

Hi, and thanks for your help!

I had already done everything in post 2, but I have now double-checked and triple-checked it, and I can't see anything wrong.

I hadn't yet updated the binaries to the "beta" though, so I'll try that and let you know if it works.


----------------

Edit: ok, binaries updated, server restarted, but still no podbot in the meta list.


-----


Edit 2: some screenshots as proof I've really done what you said...

My /addons/metamod/plugins.ini file:

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3627/screen1fr.png

On the left, the different packages I've downloaded and installed. On the right, directory listings of the following folders:

/cstrike/
/cstrike/addons/
/cstrike/addons/metamod/
/cstrike/addons/metamod/dlls/

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1907/screen2iz.png

My /cstrike/liblist.gam file: (I notice the line has the "^M" missing... is this important?)

http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/4770/screen3l.png

---

And a directory listing of /cstrike/addons/podbot/

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8374/screen4r.png


-------------------


The server is running using the "Screen" command, and to restart it I've been using the following method...

ps -al
kill -9 [process# of each running process in turn]


The CSDS then restarts on its own.

Is this the correct way of doing this, or will it be using cached files instead of the new ones, or something?

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
What is the file plugins.inf for (in addons\metamod folder)? Can You remove it or rename to plugins.old? I don't know what is the "Screen" command. My knowledge about the linux hlds is really limited. Another thing - I cannot see there steam installed on Your server. This is the command line I'm starting the linux hlds on my test virtual machine:
./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 32 +map de_aztec

This is the command line I'm starting the linux hlds on my test virtual machine:
./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 32 +map de_aztec

Plugins.inf was created when I was tryin to type "vi plugins.ini" too quickly on one occasion and didn't notice until after I'd saved it.
At your request I have now removed it.

The "Screen" command allows me to execute commands on the remote server without needing to keep my Putty SSH window open. It essentially runs the command in a virtual window that the user can't see, allowing me to close my Putty window and shut down my home PC, or alternatively to continue typing commands in my Putty window, without disturbing the CSDS while it is running.

How I'm using it:

Code:

screen -A -m -d -S hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2
So, it's running the "./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2" command within the virtual "screen".

I found it on this page...

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
Try to open both files simultaneously - liblist.gam and plugins.ini and copy that "^M" (without quotes) form liblist gam and put them at the end of each of lines of plugins.ini. Then save the file plugins.ini and restart the server. If that doesn't help - stop the server, rename "addons" folder to "addons_old", download All-In-One package and unzip all the crap into the main cstrike folder. Let overwrite all files. Then start the server. After that it has to load podbot mm, but first try with that "^M" thing (I down't know what is the editor You are using to edit *.txt files).

Musophil 14-02-2012 18:58

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
OK it's working. I used the "all-in-one" method in the end.

I think the "^M" is simply a carriage return, although I don't know why it appears on some lines and not others. My attempts to copy and paste it failed repeatedly.

OK, so podbot is working, but all my settings have reset so presumably I now just need to systematically copy back the config files from the addons_old folder and I should be sorted! (fingers crossed)

Thank you so much for all your help! Very much appreciated! :clap:

One thing, though, now none of my ingame onscreen stats displays are working... (Just the regular default stats, non-SQL)

They are being called but apparently with the wrong variable names. Onscreen during gameplay I get "ML_NOTFOUND" for everything that used to display... like wherever a username would have been displayed in situations like "Player_1 has stolen a level from Player_2" it now says "ML_NOTFOUND has stolen a level from".

They all worked fine before I installed the All-In-One package.

I realise this isn't part of Podbot, but do you happen to know what has happened and what I need to do to make it work correctly again?

Thanks again for your help.

KWo 15-02-2012 10:04

Re: HELP: How to install mm and podbot mm
 
Welll - ML_NOTFOUND means that You need to copy also some *.txt files from addons_old\amxmodx\data\lang to amxmodx\addons\data\lang.

You can try to do also something else. Stop the server. Rename the new "addons" folder (comming from All-In-One package) to "addons_new" and restore the old "addons_old" folder (rename it back to "addons"), then just copy plugins.ini from metamod folder (from "addons_new") to the current (old) addons\metamod folder. Start the server. If the problem was just with plugins.ini file, that should help and You shouldn't need to put to much work with restoring back everything.

Ah ok! Cool, I'll give it a try!
