CS 1.5 - Podbot MM not working

[Zaxeciv]

Hello, I'm having problems with making Podbot mm work in my PC. I have a Windows XP system, and I'm running Counter-Strike v1.5


Okay, I have downloaded this:
podbot_full_V3B20a

And I extracted the zipped folder into this directory:
C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cstrike\addons\podbot

Within C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cstrike\addons directory, I have these folders:
metamod
podbot

Within the metamod folder, I have these:
dlls [folder]
plugins.ini [text document]

Within the dlls folder, I have this file:
metamod.dll [version 1.19.0.0]

Within the plugins.ini text document, I only have this written:
Win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll

In C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cstrike directory, I have liblist.gam file which contains these:
game "Counter-Strike"
url_info "www.counter-strike.net"
url_dl ""
version "1.5"
size "184000000"
svonly "0"
secure "1"
type "multiplayer_only"
cldll "1"
hlversion "1110"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_player_start"
gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/cs_i386.so"
trainmap "tr_1"


And also, when I create a new game, I go to my console and type "meta list" but it shows that I have no plugins.

Please help me...

Put in Your server.cfg / listenserver.cfg this line at the bottom:
mp_logmessages 3
mp_logdetail 3
log on
Then - when You are loading the game it should write You the info (in cstrike\logs folder) why the podbot_mm.dll is not loading.
Example ( this is what I can see in my logs) :

Sorry.. I still don't know what to do next, can you walk me through it? Thanks in advance

Windows in default settings hides the known extensions of known file types (like for example exe, txt etc). Make sure Your plugins.ini is really plugins.ini (not plugin.ini) and it is not plugins.ini.txt (uncheck the option in Windows Explorer - folder settings - "Hide wxtensions of known file types" - to make sure Your file is really with the name You want it). Metamod clearly says it cannot see Your plugins.ini file.

[Zaxeciv]

I have the file extensions hidden and it still doesn't work.
I have "plugins.ini" not "plugins.ini.txt"... also, I manually made my plugins.ini file from notepad[text document], is that what I should've done?

[KWo]

Try to overwrite Your plugins.ini by this one from the attachment to this post (after unzipping it).

[Zaxeciv]

Yes! that was it... thanks for your help

I think that this was the problem, no?
/ ( for linux ) instead of \ ( for windows )

[KWo]

No.

That was the problem. Something wrong with his plugins.ini file...

[Sc0Rp]

Ok, thought that it always had to be "\" in windows; for everything and under all circumstances.

My bad.
