pb menu doesn't work

[Gumman]

# passwordkey - need set as setinfo to get access to main podbot menu
# usage (in below example You may need to write Your-own passwordkey instead
# _pbadminpw - if You changed the default setting for it):
# setinfo _pbadminpw "your_password"
pb_passwordkey "_pbadminpw"

# Set the password to have access to podbot menu on DS by 'pb menu'
# console command typed in client's admin PC or called from the binded key.
# Example of bind on Your client PC:
# bind "=" "pb menu"
pb_password asdf

This is my podbot.cfg file.

exec buys.cfg
setinfo _pbadminpw "asdf"
bind "=" "pb menu"

And that's is my autoexec.cfg.

That two configs are in the right place. HLDS is in Counter-Strike/.
podbot.cfg is in counter-strike/cstrike/addons/podbot.cfg
and autoexec.cfg is in counter-strike/cstrike. All on the same computer and folder.

And I can't see what I have done wrong. Cause when I join the game and write rcon pb menu the same msg come. And if I just write pb_password in gameconsole the msg come something like this: "pb_password is set to "asdf"

It looks odd, since all normal configuration for Steam CS1.6 they have installed hlds in "...\SteamApps\your@email.com\dedicated server" folder. The client is normally installed in "...\SteamApps\your@email.com\counter-strike" folder.

I believe You wanted to say You have that file in counter-strike/cstrike/addons/podbot folder. As I said before - hlds should be installed in ...\SteamApps\your@email.com\dedicated server, so Your podbot folder with metamod and other stuffs should be installed in ...\SteamApps\your@email.com\dedicated server\cstrike\addons folder.
But if You are using non-steam version of CS1.6 it may not work for You. Non-steam is not supported.

Damn, I take that same for non-steam 1.5, right? But thanks for the help anyway.

Old CS1.5 is supported - it doesn't need steam to work. It should work. I meant non-steam CS1.6 is not supported. In this case HLDS and HL they are in the same directory - so it seems You have everything correctly installed. The only thing I could notice in Your settings is - try to use quotes in all settings for "_pbadminpw" and
pb_password "asdf". Also in setinfo (I mean:
setinfo "_pbadminpw" "asdf"
Also make sure in Your cstrike/config.cfg that bind
bind "=" "pb menu"
comes correctly there from podbot.cfg.
Another thing - "pb menu" is a client console command, so You don't have to call it as a rcon command (rcon pb menu is not valid). You need to use just:
pb menu
(without underscore line - there is just one space).

I have no more ideas what You might have wrong there. It should work.

My pbmenu isn't working either and i have read this thread and done everything you have said, and i still can't get it to run? The commands won't work either, but i do have bots???

This topic contains all info You need to get it working. If You are telling You did everything right, I cannot help You. Maybe instead telling "I did everyhing right" just describe with more details - step by steps - what and how You did. Maybe You just misspelled something and I'll be able to see something if You can copy and paste the contents of files the topic is about. Also You need to describe the place of files You have and kind of the server You are using (dedicated server or listenserver).

Just create it (with any text editor - like notepad) and put there the line mentioned few times in this topic...
Do I really need to answer to such questions?

Sorry we all don't know that if it doesn't exist that we must make it exist.

I am unable to get the pb menu to work. It says invalid command when I type it in console (just as "pb menu") and nothing when I hit the binded key

NFO
PodBot All-In-One 2.8
Dedicated Server
AMXmodX
Metamod

podbot.cfg
pb_passwordkey "_pbadminpw"

pb_password "password1"

autoexec.cfg (in its entirety)
exec buys.cfg
setinfo _pbadminpw "password1"
bind "=" "pb menu"
