Podbot on Linux
 

Well, I'm somewhat new to Linux and running servers, please just hear me out :P

I'm trying to install podbots/csdm/amxx on a dedicated server, but the podbot file will not load. I've read and followed everything in this thread (http://forums.bots-united.com/showthread.php?t=4494) down to the dot. I cannot get podbots to load.

Is there anything special I need to do to get the legacy software thinger to actually work? Like I said, I'm somewhat new to this.

And on a side note, my server FPS won't go past 333, yet I have fps_max set to 1000 and sys_ticrate set to 5000. The server is a quad core xeon (4 cores@2.4ghz) with 4GB RAM.

Any and all help will be appreciated. Thank you guys for the great mods!

What is Your gcc version? About crazy FPS - You need to be aware HL1 supports really fps_max 100. If You can run the server over it, more than likely You are getting some side-effects (like higher CPU usage without apparently increased performance). What is Your libstdc++ version (5 or 6)? Don't ask me how to check those (I don't have linux), but from that topic You have invoked the link to, I know that is very important info.

I'm not quite sure what my gcc version is, and I installed libstdc++ via this command

I'm sorry for being so vague, I'm a noob at Linux :sleep:

Any log from the the server, when is loading did metamod give you a reason why is not loading podbot_mm ?

Re: Podbot on Linux
 

It's the badfile error everyone has been getting. :\
Meta list gives me this

Re: Podbot on Linux
 

No I didn't meant meta list, when you start the server from the linux console, it will print some stuff, and probably what is the problem with podbot_mm, I don't know why KWo still is talking about libstdc++, I showed him a way to static link podbot_mm with cygwin so you will not need by this library. :)

Re: Podbot on Linux
 

Nope, I don't get any error as to why it won't load. Just when I do meta list it says it's a bad file.
:(

Ok, show us the directory tree, the plugins.ini file and a log from the server, here's how you can make it - when starting your server via hlds_run just add in the end if the line this "> srvlog.log" without the quotes ofcource and then attach srvlog.log file here. :)

Re: Podbot on Linux
 

I'm not sure how to find the log, nothing comes up after I run the command.
As for the directory tree,

and the podbot folder

If he is using any older version than that statically linked, it may have the influence. He even didn't tell which version (number) he is trying to use...
Try to download the binaries from here and replace the existing one in Your podbot folder by that one from that link (also use those new cfgs). The binaries I mean podbot_mm_i386.so file in Your (linux) case.
