Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
I have metamod working, installed HPB_bot as per the readme, nothing seems to be happening. (Linux hlds pre steam).

I get this when I run 'Install' in the Valve folder:

Copying HPB_bot_i386.so into valve/addons/HPB_bot directory
cp: cannot stat `../HPB_bot_i386.so': No such file or directory

Is that significant?

Thanks
Tim

I have no linux experience, but I had the same type of problem.

I fixed the problem by by NOT manually installing the dll (.so for you). I ran the installer found on the HPB_Bot download page. It put the DLL in a different place and now it works fine.

Hope that helps,
D-Gen

To test if the bot is installed correctly go in the server console and type "meta list". Print the results here.

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
I did use the install script which is looking to copy /hlds_l/HPB_bot/HPB_bot_i386.so

There is no such file but there is a file called /hlds_l/HPB_bot/HPB_bot_mm_i386.so

Am I missing a file here or is the install script wrong?

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
OK. I installed version 3.0 of HPB bot and it works fine. The version 4 distribution from the download page absolutely does not include the file HPB_bot_i386.so. How can it possibly work?

BTW, the readme file also says that it is Version 2.1 (April 28th, 2002).

Help!

How did you get version 3.0 to work, I d/l it from the linux section and it gives me the same file as version 4.0 does, not an .so file. Please provide a link for the one you got to work. Thanks!

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
Disregard the last message I got 4.0 to work!!! .so file is i386 not i486 and was having pointers going to wrong file since I tried so many versions.

Cool, was it a problem with the installer or your fault ? I need to know if there is a bug in the Linux HPB_bot installer that needs to be fixed.

I believe the download is missing a file. The install script tries to copy HPB_bot_i386.so but there is no such file in the tar archive. It may be possible to sort it out by manually installing the library but I haven't figured it out yet. Tbone has had more success.

Well the installer doesn't work for rented servers so it didn't really apply here. The line to add to the metamod plugins.ini was pointing to a file that didn't exist in the download.

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
Oh yeah I got it.

Linux is case-sensitive. The file the install script looks for is "HPB_bot_i386.so", whereas the actual file is named "hpb_bot_mm_i386.so". Hence the problem.

Rename the file hpb_bot_mm_i386.so in HPB_bot_i386.so and run the installer again :)

[edit] or download the file again, I've rebuilt the tarball with that bug fixed.

I re-downloaded version 4.0. It didn't throw up any errors, but I still get this:

meta list
Currently loaded plugins:
description stat pend file vers src load unlod
[ 1] Adminmod RUN - admin_MM_i386.so v2.50.60 ini Start ANY
[ 2] <HPB_bot_i386.s badf load HPB_bot_i386.so v - ini - -

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
Print out the directory structure of your valve/addons directory, tell me where the HPB_bot_i386.so file is located, and print out the contents of metamod's plugins.ini file.

insx 09-09-2005 14:14

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
Hope this helps. I should add that I deleted my hlds_l directory and started from scratch - new hlds_l, adminmod and HPB bot 4.0.

[root@linux2 addons]# pwd
/hlds_l/valve/addons
[root@linux2 addons]# ls
adminmod HPB_bot metamod
[root@linux2 addons]# cat metamod/plugins.ini
linux addons/adminmod/dlls/admin_MM_i386.so
linux addons/HPB_bot/HPB_bot_i386.so
[root@linux2 addons]# ls HPB_bot
HPB_bot_i386.so

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 
Now this is quite puzzling. Your setup is just fine, and it SHOULD work. I'd like to know if other Linux users are experiencing the same problem, for I have so far not the slightest idea of what would cause it nor how to solve it :|

Or wait...

couldn't it just be a permissions problem ?

try chown'ing it and chmod'ing the bot .so file so its permissions are identical to the metamod .so file.

Tried it, no change. Looks like it's version 3 for me then.
