CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

Hi,

first of all thanks for this great bot. Gives me endless hours of offline fun ...:D

Version 1.6.5.1 worked nice in my setup. I run Steam-CS 1.6 together with Metamod, and my launch options look like:

-dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll +localinfo mm_gamedll joebot/joebot.dll

Today I downloaded 1.6.5.2 and it does not work any more.

Liblist.gam is the one extracted from the 1.6.5.2 zip-file:

game "Counter-Strike"
url_info "www.counter-strike.net"
url_dl ""
version "1.6"
size "184000000"
svonly "0"
secure "1"
type "multiplayer_only"
cldll "1"
hlversion "1111"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_player_start"
gamedll "joebot\joebot.dll"
gamedll_linux "joebot/joebot_i386.so"
trainmap "tr_1"

I also tried to run Joebot as Metamod plugin, using joebot_mm.dll.
Same result.

Using either method, CS crashes to desktop if a game is started.

All worked perfectly with 1.6.5.1, and I checked that the files are in the right locations.

What gives ? Please help ...

so when you overwrite the new dll with the old one it's still running ? because the last days there was also a steam update fuckin' up some stuff, look @ http://forums.bots-united.org/showthread.php?t=1978

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

I have the same problem. I have been using 1.6.5.1 for months on my server with no problem. After the latest updates, the bot stopped working (due to the chat bug?). When I saw that joebot was updated, I rejoiced. However, I have yet to get the new version working (as a metamod plugin) on my server. I changed no settings or files other than the dll. When I start the server, it does not crash. It just doesn't load the plugin. It gives me this error:

[META] ERROR: dll: Failed query plugin '<joebot_mm.dll>'; Couldn't find Meta_Query();
[META] ERROR: dll: Skipping plugin '<joebot_mm.dll>'; couldn't query
[META] ERROR: dll: Failed to load plugin 'joebot_mm.dll'

The path is still the same to the dll. Metamod was updated to version 1.17.1 recently, but the changes shouldn't have this kind of effect from what I can see. Admin mod still works perfectly.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

ok, then this isnt a problem of the new JoeBOT version, but a problem of the steam update, again trashing things here. The 1.6.5.2 _isnt_ yet compatible with that chat stuff, even though the dates are close together.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

Yes, I went back to the 1.6.5.1 joebot.dll and everything is working again without having any settings changed.

When trying to start a game with 1.6.5.2, the usual steam popup showing the progress bar (loading, precaching ....) does not even come up. It crashes to desktop before anything happens.

Looks like enginefuncs-problem to me.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

I just wanted to note that 1.6.5.1 does load for me with the latest STEAM update, but as soon as someone chats, it crashes the server. 1.6.5.2 won't load at all. It can't seem to find the dll for some reason. I am loading both via metamod and changed nothing in the configuration except for the joebot_mm.dll file. I have the joebot_mm.dll file in the cstrike/joebot folder. My metamod plugins file is pointing to it.

win32 joebot/joebot_mm.dll

Loading it works with 1.6.5.1. It just crashes the server with chat.

hey, Im having the same problem

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

I was just logging in to Steam and received the update. 1.6.5.1 still works for me. However, I don't run a server, just a local game for offline play.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

We probably all have. We'll have to wait until master @$3.1415rin comes up with some fixes for us 8)

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

WTF !?

looks like the steampowered cruft has to take a look here ...

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

Looks like a .dll mixup. The .dll for the std and metamod version are reversed. Sorry about this, I'll be uploading the correct .zip files shorty.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

Another note. It looks like only the windows version got mixed up. The linux version is fine.

If you do a right-click->properties on the .dll, the version tab will have a description of "JOEBOT - Counter-Strike Bot" for the std .dll and "JOEBOT - Metamod Counter-Strike Bot" for the metamod version.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

.zip files are updated on sourceforge but not on filebase yet. We'll update the filebase .zip files soon.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

the filebase is just linked to the sourceforge stuff

thanks cruft for the fast response :)

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

Does this fix the "chat crash" bug with joebot and the latest CS update through STEAM?

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

No chat crash bug fix release yet but I do have a fix checked into CVS over at sourceforge. Want to test it a little bit before a release.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

what are the settings for getting the joebot source via TortoiseCVS?

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

already seen this page ? there are the setting for connecting

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

call me noob, but do you think you could tell me the settings the same way Stefan explained it in the Realbot source forums?

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

Nice! Until it's released, I can't run joebot on our server with the latest updates to CS. Hope to see it soon!

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

Any word on when this fix will be out? I'd really like to upgrade joebot and my server to the latest dll's.

Re: CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem
 

I want it too. Joebot is the only bot that worked for me. The others just crashed steam or were extremely stupid and needed thousands of waypoints for inteligent navigating ;)
