HELP : Win32 FTP epodbot install with metamod

[knightmike]

I have a rental server with FTP access and would like to install epodbot. I gave it my best try, but couldn't get it to work. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I tried:

1. Download EPBv5.2
2. Install it to Desktop/epodbot
3. Copy Desktop\epod\cstrike\EPODbot folder to ftp:/cstrike/addons/
4. Added "win32 addons/EPODbot/EPB.dll" to ftp:/cstrike/addons/metamod/plugins.ini
5. Reset server
6. Nothing

\EPODbot\ folder must be putted in to the \cstrike\ folder only, not in to the \addons\ folder.
Then add this to plugins.ini
EPODbot\EPB.dll
Thats all.

It still doesn't work.
I placed the EPODbot folder inside the cstrike folder.
Then, I added these lines to metamod/plugins.ini (One at a time. Restarting the server after each time. And then all together and restarting the server.)
EPODbot\EPB.dll
EPODbot/EPB.dll
win32 EPODbot\EPB.dll
win32 EPODbot/EPB.dll

So, my plugins.ini file looks like
win32 addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm.dll
EPODbot\EPB.dll
EPODbot/EPB.dll
win32 EPODbot\EPB.dll
win32 EPODbot/EPB.dll

Everything works fine if I place EPODbot\EPB.dll in the liblist.gam file. Except , of course, I can't use metamod. Am I doing something wrong? I'm stumped.

Interesting Note:

EPODbot works fine with metamod on my PC. I lauched a new game and it worked great. I don't know why it won't work on my dedicated server. I noticed a variance in my liblist.gam file compared to my dedicated server. So, I made my dedicated server liblist.gam file match my local file. That didn't work either. The only difference was
local liblist.gam =
mpentity "multiplayer_only"

dedicated server liblist.gam =
mpentity "info_player_start"

I'm at a lost here. I'll keep farting with it. Any help will be appreciated.

Lookie what I found:

L 06/28/2006 - 01:26:19: [EPB] E[POD]bot: meta-interface version mismatch (metamod: 5:12, E[POD]bot: 5:13)
L 06/28/2006 - 01:26:19: [EPB] ERROR: metamod version is too old for this plugin; update metamod
L 06/28/2006 - 01:26:19: [META] ERROR: dll: Failed query plugin '<epb.dll>'; Meta_Query returned error
L 06/28/2006 - 01:26:19: [META] ERROR: dll: Plugin '<epb.dll>' requires a newer version of Metamod (Metamod needs at least interface 5:13 not the current 5:12)

It turns out that the company I'm renting the server from uploaded an old version of metamod. I updated it and EPODbot works like a champ! Thanks for your help. Great bots!

Glad to see that you figured it out by yourself.
