Long time no see everyone.
I just decided to put vR2b46a (.so) on my dedicated Linux server. Not to long ago I was big into this and had it running (.dll) on my Windows server with no problems. Is there something I am overlooking? When I do a metalist in the server console, the .so is loaded but no bots ever join. Accoring to my podbot.cfg, they should start joining after 20 seconds. Here are my files that I find important:
metamod plugins.ini
Code:
linux addons/hlguard/dlls/hlguard_mm_optimized_i686.so
linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
linux addons/PODbot/podbot_mm_i386.so
podbot.cfg
Code:
# This sets the Waypoint Folder (in the POD-Bot Directory)
# for loading/saving waypoints. Don't use a trailing backslash or spaces.
# This doesn't work for the first game you create (default is wptdefault).
# But when creating for the second time (or loading with newmap) this
# directory will be used.

# Remove the comments on the 2 lines below to support a minimum and maximum
# number of bots running on a dedicated server. Bots will be added to the
# server until the total number of players (bots and humans) reaches the
# max_bots value. Each time a new player joins the server, a bot will be
# kicked from the server unless there are only min_bots number of bots
# currently on the server. After players disconnect from the server, bots
# will be automatically added back to the server until the total number
# of players reaches max_bots again. You should make max_bots be AT LEAST
# one less than the maxplayers value (otherwise no one will be able to join
# your server).

and I created an addons/PODbot folder where I put everything (see attached SS):
