Changing install directory (WIP9 Linux)
 

I am currently renting a linux CS 1.6 server (linux exact specs not available). RealBot WIP #9

I am NOT able to install RealBot to the parent folder of "cstrike" as permission is denied. I did, however, install the "RealBot" folder to cstrike/addons (while adding the line: linux addons/RealBot/dlls/realbot_mm_i386.so to metamod/plugins.ini). RealBot was successfully loaded, and I could add/remove bots like normal. The only problem is that they can't save what they have learned about a particular map.

I realize the simpile solution would be to contact my server's admins and request that I gain permission to install it to the "correct" directory...but that doesn't solve anyone else's problem who is also renting a linux machine.

Is there any possible way to edit the code to redirect RealBot to save exp and maps to a different folder than the default at its default location? Perhaps add a simple line to a .cfg that points to where they should be saved.

get the source code, grep for "UTIL_BuildFileNameRB" and change this one:

strcpy(filename, "realbot/");

to:

strcpy(filename, "cstrike/addons/realbot/");

then recompile the bot. This may be the only way to do so.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I am pretty inexperienced in working with linux, so this follow-up question might sound ridiculous... Is there any linux editing/compiling program that is available for use on Windows machines?

Or does the source code edit easily with say Dreamweaver/Text Editor and also include a compiler?
