IVPBot lib Failing to Load in Linux Dedicated Server (Steam-1.6)

My liblist.gam file looks like this:

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 "ivpbot\ivpbot.dll"
gamedll_linux "ivpbot/ivpbot_i486.so"
trainmap "tr_1"

---

When starting the server this happens:

LoadLibrary failed on ./cstrike/ivpbot/ivpbot_i386.so: ./cstrike/ivpbot/ivpbot_i386.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from ./cstrike/ivpbot/ivpbot_i386.so!
FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from ./cstrike/ivpbot/ivpbot_i386.so!

The only lib file I see is ivpbot_i486.so so I am not sure why it is internally trying to reference the _i386 file.

Anyone have any suggestions, would love to get this working!

Thanks,

Heyyo,

Are you sure you installed it into the correct directory? cause it seems the file placement messed up somehow cause it can't find the correct .so file...

Ok, go into your steamapps\(your e-mail)\counter - strike\cstrike\ivpbot directory, and make sure that everythings in that folder, if not, then tha's the prob.

i am having the EXACT same problem so i am interested if a solution was found for this....

i also noticed that on your suggested solution, the path is nowhere near what my linux server path looks like.....is the linux path different....for example, there is no email in the path.

[Whistler]

that's kinda strange...
have you tried rename the file to ivpbot_i386.so ?

actually i did try that, and it eventually came up with more errors....

Heyyo,

You'd need to find a linux version of PODbot, or get the podbot sourcecode, or PM's updated one, and compile that for linux.

So what's the directory for linux for CS v1.6? I'm interested to see the difference.

[sPlOrYgOn]

actually the directory structure for cs1.6 linux doesn't have much of a difference from cs1.5.
just the files are different and maybe a few new directories.

I'm not sure but is this really correct in CS1.6 use these lines:
version "1.5"
hlversion "1110"

Maybe is better use these:

version "1.6"
hlversion "1111"

This probably can't fix Your current problem , but maybe it prevent You against new problems in the future.

And try also change this line:

gamedll_linux "ivpbot/ivpbot_i486.so"

to this:

gamedll_linux "ivpbot\ivpbot_i486.so"

But I don't have linux so I can't be an expert for this.

Heyyo,

KWo, I heard for linux you have to use foward slashes (/), not backward slashes (\)...
