I made this commandmenu.txt file to overwrite the original cstrike vgui (i think default is h key). It is a dropdown menu for clients trying to control realbot or mEAn-admin-mod. rcon access is needed for many of the menu options and there is even an "enter rcon password" option. I do need to update this asap! If you would like more info on this, see here:

I'll take a look at what you did, thanks!

I'm really loving the idea of bots and mods supporting their own plugins, ie: a chat plug-in for realbot, waypointing plug-ins for bots, an "AI or waypointed bot" switching plug-in, etc...
I think a really usefull plugin for mEAn bot admin mod would be a botmixing plugin. Im trying to edit botmixer5000 source, but I don't know C++ so It's taking a while...
The idea I had for a "United Bot" is that the bot consists of nothing but plugins surrounding a generic "core" bot template. Most of the functionality would come from plugins, that way any type of bot can be constructed from various plugins. For example, if you don't like the default chat plugin, then you could plug in a different one if available, or build your own if not.

For my server I have been using:

The free version lets you run ONE instance of HLDS as a service.
It will restart the service when it crashes.
It has been working well on my server.
The catch is I am upgrading to a dual xeon server that can easily handle running 8-10 instances of HLDS each running 28 POD bots! So I either have to buy the commericial versions of FD or find another solution.
Botmeister, do you release the source to server loader?
I would probably go with it if you include the source.
I'm willing to release the source. Any idea how we could do this as a Bots United development thing where anyone can chip in and improve it over time?
