Metamod 1.7.1p8 and Amxmodx 1.6

[JayBaen]

I've been running POD-Bot for a while on my server now and have always noticed a few anomalies that I chalked up to a bum configuration on my part. However, in removing POD-Bot, it seems most of the strange behavior of the server has gone away (cooperation with other plugins/modules, etc).

Anyone else using POD-Bot with the above configuration successfully?

Can You describe much more detailes - what the strange behavior do You mean? What game mod (version)?
BTW. I use AMX 0.9.8 (not AMX mod X), metamod 1.17.1 and podbot2.6mm (R2B28-R2B37) , CS1.5 and I don't see some "strange behavior" , but maybe I didn't check yet all. Can You bring more my attention what should I check?

[JayBaen]

Sorry to have been so vague. I'm running with the above mentioned and CS 1.6 (steam) -- dedicated server, Windows, secure.

Metamod modules are:
AmxX, phpUA and PODBot

AmxX modules are:
Standard

AmxX plugins are:
Standard, plus ... PsychoStats

The main problem is that with PODBot enabled, the features of AmxX only work if you either 1) enter the server sometime during the first round of play, or 2) stay connected during a map change, at which point the next round will behave normally.

Otherwise, if you join the server during any other round but the first, you don't see any of AmxX in action. It's as if it's not installed (unless you hang out during a map change). This also means that none of the plugins running under AmxX work either, including the stats or admin functions.

Maybe it's the order the modules are executing, or something similar. I would love to see if anyone can recreate the problem.

OK - copy and paste here Your plugins.ini from Metamod directory. I prefer put podbot_mm.dll as the latest file-plugin in the metamod plugins list (plugins.ini). And did You try to call amxmodmenu (or something like this - to open a general AMX X menu) to check if really even admin plugins of AMX X is not working?

this is a known problem... except I have no idea what is causing this..
g4s says that the amx features stop working after kicking a bot though...

@KWo

From metamod.ini:
 
; AMX Mod
win32 addons/amxx/dlls/amxx_mm.dll
; phpUA Mod
win32 addons/phpua/phpua_mm_i386.dll
; POD Bot
win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll

And did You try to call amxmodmenu (or something like this - to open a general AMX X menu) to check if really even admin plugins of AMX X is not working?

Yes, I did.

Try putting POD-bot before AMX mod and PHPUA in the plugins.ini.

Little chance it'll help but it's worth trying, still.

What the version of amxx_mm.dll are You using? At AMX X forum I found an update for this dll. Look at this thread and get this dll linked there.

@Pierre

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl.

@KWo

A couple of things:

1) Thanks for helping me hunt for solutions.

2) My server isn't experiencing any strange anomalies without the bots. It runs fine otherwise.

3) The original post of the thread states:

Until I can find why listen servers no longer let metamod amx modules load, use this binary. You should not use it if you are running a dedicated server, and if I find out that you are, I just may bite you!

My server IS a dedicated server. So, I've shyed away from using it.

Ups! My mistake - I didn't read carefully - yes - You are right - this dll is for listenservers only. Sorry.
About access rights and somefunction You can't get to work after connecting - how AMX X recognize You as an Admin? By IP by STEAMID or by Your name?
