Help! Mutliple Installation Woes.
 

Well guys I looked around for a short while at least and didn't find anything to help me, so I went ahead and posted.

I've gotten the bots and the adminmod to work independently, but I can't get them working together.

Problem #1 - Adminmod and HPB_bot not working together

This one is strange. I read the section about running bots with admin mod at the Admin Mod web site. It says "Beginning with Admin Mod version 2.50e ... Bot support is now started from the command line or Windows shortcut, rather than from an .ini file". They then procede to tell you how to set up an .ini file. Duh!!!! Anybody see a little contradiction here?

Anyway, they go on with these instructions:

To get the bots working, you will need to create a config.ini in <MOD>/addons/metamod.

For Linux-based servers:
gamedll addons/podbot/dlls/Pod_bot.so

I'm on SuSE 8.0 Linux and since I'm running HPB_bot my config.ini reads like
gamedll "dlls/HPB_bot_i486.so"

This causes a segmentation fault. I figured the gamedll directive might be a Windows directive instead of one for Linux, so I changed it to :

gamedll_linux "dlls/HPB_bot_i486.so"

This seams to be the standard in the liblist.gam file so I figured thats what the instructions actually ment to say. The segmentation fault went away but no bots!

All I know is that I have to specify the bots plugin to be loaded somewhere, either in liblist.gam or cstrike/addons/metamod/config.ini or on the command line.
Can someone give me directions and syntax for doing this.

Problem #2 - When I successfully installed the bots then adminmod stop working.

I figured this was because the bot installation script overwrote the liblist.gam and took adminmods load directive out of the file. So I added the directive for adminmod back in. Then admin mod worked but no bots. Thats when I revisited the adminmod site and tried the config.ini method that I mentioned earlier.

Last Problem - Bots don't buy weapons.

Thanks

Are you using the HPB_bot or the HPB_bot TEMPLATE ? Because the HPB_bot is a metamod plugin, whereas the template is a hook DLL. Both don't install in the same way.

See our wiki, we have a few articles on how to install our bots...

Don't know I got it here ...

http://hpb-bot.bots-united.com/downloads.html

The link said it was HPB_bot 3.0 for Linux so I assumed that what it was. Also listed was Bot number 9 and Bot number 10. What are these?

The file I got was hpb_bot_3_0.tgz. I was supposed to copy it to my hlds_l directory. I actually named it steam on my server. It creates an HPB_bot dir with a cstrike dir in it along with other MOD dirs. Inside the MOD (cstrike) dir there are 2 shell scripts Install and Remove.

What does it sound like to you? I thought it was the plugin version myself.

Thanks

Ok, I get it! Get your template instead. You didn't have to be so subtle. I'll gladly try it if it is a better solution.

Never mind it looks like its all Windows stuff. I'm running Linux.

Thanks

The file you want is this one:

http://hpb-bot.bots-united.com/releases/hpb_bot_4_0.tgz

You also need to install metamod on your server before you can use the HPB_bot.
