Default Sticky for newbies - 21-03-2004

Hi Everyone. I was just wondering if you guys would be so kind and make a sticky in this forum for everyone who wants to make a bot, but does not know how

It should give tips on what to do, like buy a book on C++, download template, read source code, learn how the HL SDK works and then alot of tips on how to accomplish these things

Thanks to memed now we have a wiki (http://server.bots-united.com/wiki), everybody is invited to contribute in writing documentation and editing what the others wrote

I still get an error when opening the wiki with IE 6.0

The XML page cannot be displayed


Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. Cannot have a DOCTYPE declaration outside of a prolog. Error processing resource 'http://server.bots-united.com/wiki/'. Line 4, Position 11

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"----------^


Perhaps its a setting I use? However I can view other wiki's with no problems.

OK I Tried the wiki but I cant find anything related to newcomers who want to make their own bot?. Cant someone just make a sticky where everyone can post their tips for bot developing. Think it would be easier for all the newcomers at this forum
