Stefan: Linux RealBot alternative
 

Hey Stefan,

just passing through... but I was thinking...
our server at Bots United is a Linux server, y'know... and there are the gcc compiler and linking tools installed... :)

See what I mean ? :P 9_9

Re: Stefan: Linux RealBot alternative
 

cool! as i really need a linux compiling server!!! :D if i can have access with putty or something and with ftp, so i can upload my source. I will definatly try to get it compiled.. I am not a real linux guru though, so i hope the makefile will work.. :)

Re: Stefan: Linux RealBot alternative
 

Got it, will try to get it working, Linux aint my best friend yet ;) My experiences are 100 times reinstalling, pulling hair out, hoping laptop aint destroyed etc... but i will dare to look back and face the almighty pinguin again :D

Re: Stefan: Linux RealBot alternative

OK, I downloaded the realbot_mm_i686.so and the newly compiled metamod_i386.so. I uploaded both of them to my server. First I copied my entire hlds_l/realbot folder over to my hlds_l/cstrike/addons folder. Then I uploaded the metamod_i386.so file to my cstrike/addons/metamod/dlls folder and the realbot_mm_i686.so to my cstrike/addons/realbot/dlls folder.

I tried to start the server with just the new metamod plugin and it just hung. It wouldn't start up again. So I put version 1.17 metamod_i386.so back into my cstrike/addons/metamod/dlls folder and the server started right up.

Next, I added the line linux addons/realbot/dlls/realbot_mm_i686.so to my metamod/plugins.ini file. The server started up, but when I queried it using the "meta list" command, it said that the realbot was not loaded.

Here is a snip from my log file. It's using MetaMod 1.17 rather than MetaMod 1.17SP because I couldn't get 1.17SP to load.

Re: Stefan: Linux RealBot alternative
 

you should not copy your realbot folder. Your realbot folder stays where it always is, your half-life / ds main folder

hlds_l/realbot

the dll is in:

hlds_l/realbot/dll

so you have:

hlds_l/realbot/dll/realbot_mm_i686.so

the plugins.ini should have:
