Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Hello,

I was using Joebot 1.6.3 with CS 1.5 on Linux.
I found it very useful to test new mods, to train....

I am now upgrading to CS 1.6 with Steam.

When hlds_i686 starts with Joebots, it does a segmentation fault.
I start Joebot the usual way:
hlds_run ... +localinfo mm_gamedll joebot/joebot163.so

Is there a way to have Joebot working with CS 1.6 ????
Else, what other efficient bots are available for CS 1.6 under Linux ?

Thx for your help

Joebot don't work with cs 1.6.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

cruft, another developer from sourceforge who works on joebot, said he works on a metamod conversion for joebot

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

And TurtleRocker said that the next Steam update would fix the problems with the FL_FAKECLIENT flag that prevented bots to run in CS 1.6, so hopefully soon all the old bots will be able to run in 1.6 again.

That's a fuc**** good news. :D :D

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Just to verify.....if joebot doesn't work with steam is it ok that after editing the liblist & target that the server still loads without errors? Normally it should crash the server should it not?

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

it should crash the server as soon as you try to add a joebot into the game, yes...

But perhaps Steam has already been updated to fix this error ? If this is the case, then now all the bots should be working with Steam.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Thing is, when I use the addbot command in console, no bots join.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Then the bot is not correctly installed. Do you see the bot DLL's welcome message in the console ?

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

No. I have the joebot folder in my hlserver folder, the +localinfo line added to the target. What's missing?

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Just checked - nope.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Have you got metamod installed ? The +localinfo stuff is only for the people who want to run metamod and the bot at the same time. If you don't have metamod installed, you need to change the game DLL in the liblist.gam file instead.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Yes I have metamod installed. I'm not server stupid....not completely...lol. Everything that metamod is set to run works fine except for joebot.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Normal, it is a cs 1.6 problem. Wait few days to solve this problem with the new update.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

Now that the new updated is out it says:
Cstrike FL_FAKECLIENT fix (3rd-party bots should work fine in cstrike once more)
when i start a server and type that(FL_FAKECLIENT) in console it says UNKNOWN COMMAND is there anything else you type after FL_FAKECLIENT or just that? In other words whats the exact command to type in console.

Re: Joebot with CS 1.6 ?
 

FL_FAKECLIENT is not a command. It's an internal flag which identifies a player as a bot and prevents the engine from sending network messages to them (that's at least what I understood about this).
I've the metamod version of joebot running at my dedicated linux CS server since the last update and it runs very well for an interims release :-)
