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

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,

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!

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 

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.

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 

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.

Re: Installed HPB bot, nothing happens
 

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.
