people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

Ok, so i have AMDMODX 1.175, metamod 1.19, and E[Pod]Bot 5.2 installed on a Steam Dedicated server running off Windows XP Pro with SP2. Before I installed the epodbot, I had no problems at all ( amxmodx worked great, users could connect ), after installation of epodbot 2.5, nobody can connect to my server, it acts as if the servers down. (Retrying connection, retrying connection (2) and so on). PLUS, amxmodx dosn't work. in console, i'll type amxmodmenu, and nothing happens, i get no menu, nore an unknown command error. So i try it again, and it gives me the unknown command error.

In the manual, it says to add win23 EPODbot/EPB.dll to metamods plugins.ini, but that dosen't work, so it says alternatively, add
gamedll "EPODbot\EPB.dll" to liblist.gam, and the bots work, whether win23 EPODbot/EPB.dll is in metamod's plugins.ini or not at all.

Any Ideas on how to allow users to connect with active bots, or how to get amxmodx to work with the bots?

Re: people cannot connect + amx goes to crap
 

Is this related to the min and max bot counts?

Re: people cannot connect + amx goes to crap
 

Wrong forum. You should've post in E[POD]Bot forum. Here is the forum for podbot mm (another clone). I'm moving the topic to the correct place.

BTW - podbot mm works very well with AMX MOD X 1.75a. No one reported any problem since long time. We have even some All-In-One installer (it works for windows and linux) which includes AMX X 1.75a, mm 1.19 and latest pb mm V3. Just need to unzip everything into Your ...\cstrike directory (let overwrite Your existing files, but maybe make a backup of them before).

I believe You installed something incorrectly and THE_STORM will help You to get AMX X working with EPODBOT (epb probably must be installed as mm plugin). Check Your metamod's plugins.ini (located in ...\cstrike\addons\metamod folder) and Your liblist.gam (located in ...\cstrike folder).
liblist.gam should point to metamod, plugins.ini should point to amx x and to epodbot.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

As the colleague KWo said you must make liblist.gam to point your metamod, and metamod plugins.ini must point EPB and AMXX.
Add this line to your plugins.ini file
win32 EPODbot\EPB.dll
and edit the line in liblist.gam to point metamod, the needed line must looks like that
gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll"
Thats all. :)

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

ok, and as for users not being able to connect, are there any suggestions? I just re-installed the server without EPD and users can connect again. Before i go at installing EPB again, i'd like to be sure users can connect.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

If you do this steps they will connect.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

well..........i just did these steps, and i'm having the same problem

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

Post the contents of Your metamod's plugins.ini and liblist.gam here.
Write in Your console:
meta list
and copy here the contents of it.
Did You try to use the All-In-One I told You before?
What are Your settings for maxbots for EPB? What is Your setting for mp_maxplayers on Your server?
Note - maxbots has to be always below mp_maxplayers.

also, now i don't get a STEAM_ID in my server, it stays at STEAM_ID_PENDING, but i get a STEAM_ID to show up in other people's servers

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

EPB must be on the last line in plugins.ini not in the first.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

You still didn't answer to this...

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

oopz, i could'a sworn i did, ach well. max bots is 7, max players is 9

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

Go To Your addons\metamod\plugins.ini file and disable the call of epodbot (by semicolon in front of the line calling it). I mean do - it so:

;win32 EPODbot\EPB.dll

Check if the people are still not able to connect. If the problem still happen - its not related to epodbot. If the people are able to connect - move that line calling epodbot at the end of plugins.ini (but hen without the semicolon) and try again).

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

i tried it, and they still cannot connect.

so i reinstall ther server, install all my mods, except epodbot, and they can connect, so i'm like cool, then i install epodbot, and the problem starts. does epobbot automatically edit any default server files?

i can't seem to have bots, and people connect, it's either one or da other

i dunno, it's a fucking inigma, i give up.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

EPB overwrite liblist.gam. I will try in to the next version to fix the installer to check the things right.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

Maybe just release also the version as a zip file to let the people manually install it (with some readme.txt inside). Then You will not overwrite accidently the liblist.gam for them.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

I think releasing as zip is a good idea, because the installer is annoying for experienced users. But we should keep the installer exe for unexperienced users.

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

agreed, hardkore

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

Ask strelomet - he has some smart installer for yapb - it reads plugins.ini (and probably also liblist.gam) before to start doing things. It's pretty good. You need to look - if the liblist.gam is poiting metamod - epb must be installed as metamod plugin - as the last plugin called from plugins.ini .

Re: people cannot connect + amx x goes to crap
 

Yes it worked, I HAVE bots and amx working together YEAH!!!!! now I need deathmatch
