Ok... I am using Steam, CS 1.6.
I downloaded the latest and greatest of HLServer (hlds). Placed it at location C:\HLServer. Also downloading win32_rbv10.exe and the realfix.zip files from the site bots-united.

I installed the win32_rbv10.exe into the C:\HLServer directory of my second machine which is going to be my dedicated server. I followed the directions of the readme installation from the bots-united site to install the "Installation with AdminMod (for windows and linux)". (I think this is what I need)

I didnt activate anything. I went to the server.cfg and put "admin_bot_protection 1" close to the top of the file. Saved and closed and made it read only. I put the realbot.dll in the dll folder of cstrike. I am stuck clueless with step 4. add "+localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/realbot.dll " I dont type a command line to start up hlds. I just double click the icon. I thought perhaps making a shortcut on the desktop and placing the "+localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/realbot.dll " at the end of the target so it would read "C:\HLserver.exe +localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/realbot.dll" but something tells me that is not correct. I did try to open the server and it started up but would freeze after the first 5 seconds of it being started. So then I tried the realfix.dll and had the same results.

I'm thinking I've missed something huge here, but not sure what direction I am to be headed. I just started CS a month ago and my friends said to set up a server with my other computer so I tried, and the plain server is working fine. I saw these bots on another server I was playing so thought I'd try to put them on my second machine but my best efforts to load the bots aren't doing what I had hoped. I read over the forums many times and saw some helpful comments and I did try what was suggest, but I dont think what I read was geared towards the dedicated server I have on my second machine.

If someone would be so kind as to at least inform me if I am going in the right direction I'd appreciate it greatly. I feel I've overlooked something ....
