WON is history at the END OF THE MONTH

Austin · **WON is history at the END OF THE MONTH -** 10-07-2004

OK, WON is history at the end of the month!
I get a message about this from Valve every time I conenct to my server now.

Ok, so it looks like it is time for me to upgrade to 1.6 and POD2.6_MM !!
Has someone written good install docs on installing 2.6 on a steam dedicated server?

Are there any unresolved crashing problems with POD 2.6-MM?
If so I will run my DS under the debugger to help you guys find them.

It HAS to be totally stable to run on my 24/7 DS.
Thanks!

We have a Common Questions subforum to place the thread like this one...

Can somebody move this thread to the correct place?

Ok, I moved it!
I guess someone wiht admin should know better?
Thanks for helping to keep things tidy!

Docs on installing pod_2.6_mm on a Steam 1.6 DS anyone?
If not I will document the process I go through when I set it all up!

yea that would be very nice since our doc people don't seem to be working...

well just install it like any other metamod plugin
extract everything to addons\podbot
put the place of the dll in plugins.ini
and replace the dll with a beta such as http://www.mapzap.org/files/podbot/podbotBETA.zip

1) Where do I get the source code for this version?
I will certainly be debugging/tweaking a few things.
2) Any special version of metamod I need and if so where do I DL it from, I heard someone besides Will is now maintaining it...
Thanks!

>>EDIT<<
Is the latest source always found at that exact URL?

Are you the keeper of the latest version?
I will be sure to forward my changes to you...
THANKS!

source code can be found http://www.mapzap.org/files/podbot/podbotsrc.zip
it's the latest I put up.

you can just use metamod 1.17.1 with these bots

[edit]
yea it's usually at that address
and yea so far no one else has joined in completely to work on it
I look forward to the changes you make

@ Austin: Look at this thread: http://forums.bots-united.com/showthread.php?t=2139
I know this doesn't help you now, but in the long run I think this would be a great feature to have. Most of the potential PB 2.6mm users will ask the same questions, and an installer would simplify things a lot. I believe we've already had this discussion once, but somehow it just slipped away. This could be a good moment to revive it... you made such a nice map installer, maybe you could make a bot installer, too?
If we have
a) a good bot (and boy, we have one!)
b) a snazzy installer
c) good documentation,
we could spread this bot a bit more - in the long run, all PB 2.5, IvP and E[POD]Bot users could upgrade to PB 2.6mm, but they won't do so as long as this bot is nowhere available as a neat package.

I don't know who's in charge of the general stuff (Huntakillaz???), but the waypointing documentation will be complete this very weekend. I got it 90% finished, and it covers almost everything: adding waypoints, waypoint types, waypoint radii, connection types, manually and automatically adding/removing connections, WP flags. All new from scratch, and much more concise than CF's old docs. And with new pics as well!

I already wrote one, a really great one, but no one was interested!

If Metamod wasn't installed it installed it.
If a newer version of either Metamod or PodBot was installed it didn't
install an older version.

It found the correct directories from the registry.
No one seemed to be interested.

OK, after I figure out exactly how to install on 1.6 I will put one together.

I see!

the thread you made with the first installer also gave this bot it's name!
