Only HL2DM bots I know of, is RCBot ( http://rcbot.bots-united.com/ ) and HurricaneBot ( http://www.hurrikhan.net/ )

But the page to RCBot seems down now, and I don't know if people still working on the HurricaneBot

You need to install it. There should be informations about that in the included readme files. Read them, for further instructions.

Heyyo,

Np.. lemme give you a quick rundown of how it should look:

Now i'm using my email as an example, but whatever email or username you used to setup steam is where you'd replace my email address.

if you installed steam in the default spot? it should look like this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\jagged_jimmy_j@yahoo.com\

and in there you put the "rcbot2" folder which inside has the "waypoints" folder and such.... And then?

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\jagged_jimmy_j@yahoo.com\half life 2 deathmatch\bin

In that "bin" folder needs to go the "HPB_bot2.dll" file.... and once more..

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\jagged_jimmy_j@yahoo.com\half life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\

In here make a folder and call it "addons".. and inside the addons folder you need to place the "HPB_bot2.vdf" file.

That's it man. It's mainly you just need to know where those three things go.

thanks man this will definitely help! i just need to reinstall HL2DM in my Steam acount lol i forgot i havnt done it since i got a cracked version after my computer died lol but thank you i will try this asap! and long live the D!!

ok so i downloaded this... http://filebase.bots-united.com/inde...ct=view&id=260 ... followed you instructions exactly and double checked lol but when i go to steam to try see if it worked it says "This game is unavailable" ... when i remove all the files it works again so the bots arent working for me have i done something wrong?

[ZombieLuvva]

ok i have tried it once more and i think i must have spelt "addons" wrong or something cos now the game works but... and its a pretty annoying but... there are no bots to be found in the game... do i have to change a setting or bring up a console or something?
