Bots won't join a team
 

Hello.
I am running a dedicated linux os server with the latest versions of Joebot, AMX MOD, Metamod, and Statsme.

Everything seems to be working just fine. I finally got the joebot commands to work in my console using rcon. When i add a bot it adds normally, but it doesn't go to a team. :(

I type:
rcon addbot 2 2 Botname

It joins to spectator mode but it won't join to a team.
My min_bot settings is 4 and max_bot settings is 8. I searched everywhere to try to find a solution before i posted but there was only 1 similar post and the guy never said how he resolved it. If anyone has any ideas I would be thankful to hear and try what you have in mind. Thanks!

Here is probably what JoeBot needs.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Hi,

Yeah i've got the same problems since yesterday. i think it's because the new update, today they even released a new update, for steam/cs/vac2. When i read in the mpcforum, they have written cs will shut down after startup with any basehooks/exploits (cheats) :D . But the update makes some more troubles and not to cheaters :| . i think most client/server plugins had to be updated, because vac blocks now lots of command which are used for these plugins.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

actually I believe none of that caused the problem with the bots. I think it was this:

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

code updated in the cvs

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Is this big problem to generate some binaries (*.dll *.so) and upload them to filebase as the new release? Can anyone do it? "Normal" bot users aren't coders so they aren't able to compile the sources...

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Can someone please compile it. :(

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Anyone? :'(

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Nevermind, the bots are working now.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

They work???

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

They were. But now they stoped again. :S

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

It can't be that hard for someone to compile it. :(

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Im having the same probelm..when will this be fixed??

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Dunno. :(

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

I am running a server at: 205.218.67.54:27015. I am running [z]bot and run it like this...

liblist points to metamod
metamod points to joebot, amxmodx, and zbot.
zbot runs in the mp.dll, so it is automatically loaded.

My problem is I cannot get joebot to join unless a player joins and they join the wrong team. Here are my cfg files. I cannot find the problem.

bot.cfg:
language en
botskill_min 100
botskill_max 100
joinwhuman_max on
joinwhuman_res on
min_bots 5
max_bots 5
extjoe on

any help would be greatly appreciated. TYTY

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

nm, I got it. so I now have what I want a 20 player server with 5 zbots and 5 joebots. I know I should say 5 joebot bots and so on, but whatever. This is a very interesting mix. needless to say they are alot more unpredictable since joebot has 3 different moods and zbot has an "allow_rogues" option witch allows the bots to run and gun randomly. If you are running a linux server and would like me to help you get these two bots going, just let me know. zibbley@yahoo.com 205.218.67.54:27015 www.ripklan.com

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

ZBot is illegal bot for CS1.6 . It's cracked version of Valve's CSBot for CZERO. That's why it's not supported at this forum.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

there is actually legal way to use CS bot in the original CS 1.6. try this:
http://forums.bots-united.com/attach...tachmentid=673

source code is included so you can verify if it's legal or not

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

who cares what is legal or not

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

like I said nm. This is a legal version though mr. uh...god?
mind your own if you do not have useful info to give.

The forum's rules are very useful information that you should've already read.
Especially #9.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

you should read my last post. anyway i was aking for support for joebot nimrod
it was a simple mistake made by the person who wrote the bot.cfg for joebot. anyway thank you for your useless comments and have a nice day.

btw: to even out joebot and zbot, I must put joebot on its highest level and zbot on 2 of 4, 4 being highest. joebot is very cheap compared to zbot. You can download zbot at [link removed, reason below]. all support questions will be answered in the forums. zbot is available for windows and linux servers. source files are also available. this is the best bot for counter-strike and will always be.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Just a reminder: by giving links to unauthorized copies of proprietary software you have broken the forum rules, and you might be banned for this.

"source files are also available." - ROFL, I don't think you even know what "source files" mean.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Galloop, you obviously have little clue of what you're talking about.

Let's not screw up this thread and these forums. They are dedicated to legal bots - 'who cares if they're legal or not?' - we do. If we didn't, these forums wouldn't exist -. If you have anything to say or to argue about, follow it up to my mailbox.

If you choose to continue it here, consider this as a quasi-formal warning for a 100% formal ban.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

if you don't know what source files are, check out hpb bot or bot10. I do not understand what you mean.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

My colleague forgot to add the most important thing - he is also one of founders and admins of this forum so he has really the power to say what is legall here (and You can post it) or what isn't(and You shouldn't post). If You need more explanation about ZBot (why we and Valve get is as "illegal") - just use private messages to speak with us (especially to Pierre and Whistler - they know all licenses and authors laws - so they can explain You better). Posting offtopic in some topic totally not related to the topic's thread isn't tolerated here, too. I mean continuing discussion about why ZBot is legal or not in the topic dedicated why joebots don't want to join a team is offtopic now.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

hi peepz i did everythin what u guys said but my bots still wont join a team :@

i dont get it this is realy frustratin

(btw is it possible too have metamod and JOEbot at the cs-lan version?

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

does anybody read this forum ? o_O i just wanna know if its possible too have metamod and joebot @ the same time if u got counter strike thats not running true steam (its the lan version)

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

as far as I see it, you want support for software you havn't bought, but ripped off somewhere else. you won't find such support here.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Would it be possible to move the discussion about what is and isn't legal to a new thread? I'd really like my Joebots to start joining teams again, which is the original topic of this thread.

I dont mean to be overly demanding... after all, you guys have provided these great bots for free. And I would fix them myself, but I don't know how. So I'm dependent on you guys.

Help!

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

As far as I know, you need a C++ - Compiler and the HL SDK...

I could compile it but I don't know how to make a dll out of the files.
And the HL SDK is 75 MB big, which overtaxes my internet connection...

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

you dont need the hl sdk afaik

i could provide a linux .so, but unfortunately not more at the moment

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

its not ripped off its a version specialy made too play in a lan game so u wont have too buy the game its called "counterstrike non steam" just type it in @ google and u will see it. its a fully legal game and not ripped off
here a link i found : [removed]

[afaik there is no non steam version of cs1.6]

so i wont have steam too add this line too properties(launch options) +localinfo mm_gamedll "joebot/joebot.dll" is tere any other way too have metamod + joebot without doing that @ propertys - launch options ?

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

As long as Counterstrike is not Freeware, you will have to buy the game (Or another Steam-Game). Otherwise it's illegal.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

ok

roeltjow

you just have been officially warned. stop talking about illegal software on this forums, or you'll be banned.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

Thanks for the prompt response.

Unfortunately, I have a Windows based server. Am I going to have to abandon Joebot? ???:(

I really would like to keep using it. I and the regulars on my server have enjoyed Joebot for quite a long time now, and I have done a whole lot of programming to make a very full-featured Adminmod plugin for it. I'd hate to switch to a new bot mod, but if no fix is coming, then I'm not sure I have a choice. :(

Is there hope, or do I need to start looking at other bots?

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

dunno if there is anybody with a windows compiler installed out there who could do it. cross compiling with gcc would be another option, but dunno if that works at all, I doubt it.

the sources are online in the sourceforge cvs, or I could send the sources via email

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

OK. splorygon told me if he find time he will compile a dll for You tomorrow or maybe few days later (he just needs a time). I showed him the place on SF to Your sources, so he knows where they are.

Re: Bots won't join a team
 

and if you want to try cross compiling - you can find a version of gcc at the filebase (in Other Stuff section). You can use dos2unix utility to convert all files and run make.
