Hopefully I've placed this mouthful in an appropriate forum. It's labeled "Shrikebot" so I'm hoping at least close

.

Approximately two weeks ago I loaded a built a new RH9 server, loaded the steam update binary, and built myself a very simple, basic HLDS server running under Linux. Not one problem.

The same day I downloaded shrikebot, and following the directions untarred it in my hlds/dod directory, which gave me a new directory under that, labeled shrikebot.

The instructions were very simple and I followed them precisely. The manual then indicates Steam Users are now ready to go fraggin.

So I restart the server, and attach to it. Not one bot.

I then added +localinfo blah blah to point to the /dod/dlls/shrikebot_i386.so to the command line, and still, no bots.

I am not sure if shrikebot is loading, or not loading, I have no way of telling, I don't think.

So I type in my rcon password, then type in rcon addbot 1 1 2 "tangerine" and nothing happens.

After reading the instructions several times, it's clear to me I've missed something really obvious, that by staring at this for the past week, I just can't see it.

Could someone kindly nudge me a little?

This might have been easier for me had the linux dedicated server had a console. I guess there is a console, but it doesn't accept command, it just displays minimal information. If you control-C it, the hlds server goes down.

Thank you in advance,
Frederic
