some problems with podbot no bots ingame!?

[Onkel_rAiden]

a view minutes ago i installed the podbot on the cs1.6 server.

the following configuration is shown in HLSW:

ClanMod v1.82b1
MetaMod v1.19
PODBot v1
SoundCheck v1.24
HLGuard v1.8
Valve Anti-Cheat

when i get information about the metamod-status in HLSW, it shows that the PodBot-Plugin is running.

POD-Bot mm RUN - podbot_mm_i386.s v3.0B17 ini Chlvl ANY

the problim is..... no bot connected!
i don´t know why?



Here is my podbot.cfg

(i colored the lines which where changed by myself!)

PS: u can find the server under the following IP: 62.104.168.229:27025

[KWo]

Did You install the fullpack or binaries only? Make sure You have all waypoint files necessary for playing any particular map.

[Onkel_rAiden]

Hello KWo!

i´d installed the newest fullpack!

i wonder why there is no info for any password setting in the podbot.cfg.
in older versions, i remember, there will be set a pw for using any commands in podbot.
In the newest version i can´t find anything about a password.

greetings Thomas

I've just opened the podbot.cfg file from the fullpack and I can still see there the text above. I have no idea why You couldn't find it.
You didn't write if after installing the fullpack You can see some bots on Your server. Did You try with standard CS maps or some custom ones (for those You need to find waypoints either in the filebase of bots-united or ask at Waypointing forum.

Hi KWo

After installing the fullpack i used only standard-maps like de_dust, de_inferno, de_aztec....... no fun maps!

Did the bots join automatically the server or must i choose some bots from the podbot-menu at first?





in the podbot.cfg i filled in the following rows:

pb_passwordkey "_pbadminpw"
pb_password "xxxx" xxxx = my password

in the config.cfg on my client i filled in the following rows:

setinfo "_pbadminpw" "xxxx" xxxx = my password
bind "l" "pb menu"


in game, when i press the "l" button, i get a message in the console like "pb unknown command"

i have no idea why this didn´t work


Thx for your help!

If there is everything correctly installed You should see so many bots as You have "pb add" lines in Your podbot.cfg file. They should be added automatically if the podbot_mm.dll can find waypoints for the map You are playing (in Your podbot/wptdefault folder) and config files in the main podbot folder.

That setinfo line You should place in autoexec.cfg file placed in Your main cstrike folder. More info You can see here:

Make sure Your podbot_mm.dll is running - write in the console:
meta list
and see the output.
