mEAn is untested with e[POD]bot and full support is not built in for the bot at this time (easy for me to add if I ever get around to it or if someone else does it). If the e[POD]bot server side commands remain the same as they were for POD 2.x, then you could tell mEAn that POD bots are loaded and that should do the trick.

For bot balancing the critical command we need is for adding the bots to the game. Kicking the bots just uses the standard kick command (except for the new metamod PODbot which requires a special server side command).

If you have a static number of bots on one team, then there's no problem and you can just disable the bot balancing, but tell mEAn to enforce the bot vs human game play. This will stop ppl from joining the bot team (if they do, they will explode).

Because the people wanted to mix bots (for fun), PODBOT E[POD]BOT and also IvPBOT on one server, we should 've change the syntax of commands calling them to let the people control separately each kind of bot they have on their servers. I mean (without puns this time ) for podbot mm we have prefix "pb" , for ivpbot we have prefix "ivp" and for e[pod]bot I suggested to use "epb" prefix (dunno if it's already done or not). All these prefixes are without quotes. Also a syntax of commands might be a bit different (for example for kicking or adding bots, fillserver etc) - so it needs separate code in mEAn for each bot and test with every podbot clone separately (and then also together) to make sure if it works.

[EDIT]
I forgot to say also about another podbot clone - YapB. It has also its-own prefix to DS server commands. It's "yapb".

E[POD]bot will have the prefix epb in the next version.

mEAn should work with e[POD]bot because from what I'm reading in here, it still uses the same syntax as the old POD 2.x used. I had forgotten that mEAn was configured to work with epod and the code is still in place (I checked).

To run mEAn with e[POD]bot specify in your command line that runs HLDS

+localinfo mbotmod epodbot

See the document install.txt for more details. epodbot support is not listed in there, but the syntax for the hlds command line is similar to that of the other bots that are listed.

Did you try "m_botmode_botvshuman 1", I mean with a 1 at the end?

Heyyo,

Well zacker, if you don't put in the value, it should show you the value such as

you type this in the console: sv_cheats
it'll show: sv_cheats is "1"

or something like that anywho...

if it says: unkown command "m_botmode_botvshuman" then it's probably installed wrong. make a shortcut of your hlds and put this in the end of the target line:

+localinfo mgamedll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll +localinfo mbotmod podbot_mm

once again, check your liblist.gam file in your cstrike folder, make sure it says this:

gamedll "mean\mean.dll"

and that should get it to work. If you're not sure, post on here what your liblist.gam looks like.


Later-a-much, and LONG LIVE THE D!,

alrighty, this is what my liblist.gam looks like

game "Counter-Strike"
url_info "www.counter-strike.net"
url_dl ""
version "1.5"
size "184000000"
svonly "0"
secure "0"
type "multiplayer_only"
cldll "1"
hlversion "1110"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_player_deathmatch"
gamedll "EPODbot\EPB.dll"
gamedll_linux "EPODbot/EPB_i386.so"
gamedll "mean\mean.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/cs_i386.so"


I also copied and pasted all those commands in my server.cfg (it said to in the install.txt)

when my dedicated server is running, i type m_help and it gives me a list of commands. So dosnt that mean that its working? THen i type M_botmode_botvshuman, and nothing happens, i tried changing maps to see if it just needed to restart, but that didnt do anything either. By the way, if i havnt said yet, im using Epodbots.

thanks a bunch

BREtt

Your liblist.gam is not correct. However try to tape in the console :
M_botmode_botvshuman 1
and don't forget the number one (1) and tell us what happen.
