People! Read This To Get Your Ivp Bots To Work!!!!

* well people dont seem to be reading my topic - maybe becuase of the name i gave it - but everyone that does get it to work say thank you so much Juan - so i made a new topic to help everyone out.

- if you go thru the steps then i promise it will work!!!

Well i see people say - im a noob help me or i cant get my IVP bot to work

Well at first i couldn't get my ivp to work either - so in the next few steps im going to explain down to the bone what i did to get my IVP bot to work!

Step 1
- Installing Steam
- Next Start Up Steam and clikc "servers" click on a server that has a map that you dont. - like crazytank or aim_aztec ( I download aim_awp )

Step 2
- Quit Steam after pressing esc and disconnecting from the server.
- Download IVP latest Version - if you dont already have it i have this ivpbot1_1_1 (file name of the zip)

- get it here http://ivpbot.bots-united.com/

Step 3
- Open Steam Again - Yes open it again - stop being lazy o_O
Note leave the downloaded zip on the desktop you will need them later.
- Now after you opened steam - click "new game" without setting nothing up clikc go or start - yes leave the map on random it doesnt matter ( i dont know but i think this is where you get some files to play - if you dont got them then the IVP wont work.

Step 4
- open up the zip file and you should see a cstrike folder all you need to do is extract this folder to

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\e-mail@ivp.com\counter-strike\cstrike

folder when you do the cstrike folder should just be in that cstrike folder - now what you do is open up that folder and you should see a folder called ivpbot and a file that says liblist

click on the folder then gold shift and highlight the other now

- for xp click the move selected items
- for other os open up another window and nav to

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\e-mail@ivp.com\counter-strike\cstrike

now move / copy the files over and you should get a box saying - "is it ok to overwrite the file click yes! then go the liblist file right click and hit properties and check the box that says "read-only" then click ok

Step 5
-you can do 2 different things here

1. you can go and see if the game works - it should add about 4 bots to the team you are not on and 3 players to the team you are. ( should do this before 2 )

2. you can edit the files to change how the bots act/how smart they are/what can do

to do this go into the folder called "ivpbot" that you extracted into the cstrike folder open the file - it should say that i doesnt know file it is. click select a program to open the file up in

- pick wordpad and you can change the stuff around - if you skip number 2 - ingame you can change stuff by click the "=" key to open the ivpbot menu.

you should really read the ivp file located

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\juand@medabiliti.com\counter-strike\cstrike\ivpbot

- it really helps to know what the bots can do -

now thats what i did and everything works fine for me - if you need any help with anything else - post it here and i will do my best.

- im running win xp pro
- i run software mode
- latest steam update / 1.6
- latest windows update

GREAT JOB !

this will be a good starting point for a 1.6 install pack ..

thanks - im trying to get people to look at this when they are having trouble - becuase it really works/helps people that need help

I didn't do it that way and mine works fine. I also have amxmod running on the same listenserver. I suspect a dedicated server would be exactly the same. The -dll command is new to 1.6 since 2 days ago. This is 1.1.1 of ivpbot.

add -dll ivpbot\ivpbot.dll

to your target and IF ivpbot is installed in cstrike\ivpbot it will work. No dicking around with the liblist.gam either.

Thanks to ivpbot creator/fixer for a good bot. and the bonus of using all my podbot configs and waypoints just makes it that much better!! wOOt!

umm that was one big confuse fest right there - can you please explain

The simplest way to do this is..

1) using ivpbot1_1_1.exe open it and let it extract to c:\temp or someplace easy to find.
2)look in c:\temp and you'll see a Half-life folder. In there you'll find a cstrike folder and in there you'll find your ivpbot folder. YEAH!!!!
3) cut or copy the ivpbot folder and paste it into/onto
your partition:\Steam\SteamApps\youremail@email\counter-strike\cstrike
4) you should now have a path available called cstrike\ivpbot YEAH!!
5) Start steam
6)Select games
7)right click CounterStrike
8 )select properties
9)click "launch options"
10) add the following to the launch options -dll ivpbot\ivpbot.dll
11) click OK and start a game and play with bots.

If you want to start 1.6 from a desktop icon

5a)If you don't have a desktop icon/shortcut for CS1.6, Steam will create one for you. Go Steam - Games - then right click CounterStrike and this time select "create desktop shortcut"
6a) Go to desktop, and open the shortcut's properties page.
add -dll ivpbot\ivpbot.dll
to the target line. It will look like..
yourpartition:\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 10 -dll ivpbot\ivpbot.dll
Ok that and away you go... way too easy.

You'll find there's some things you want to change in the ivpbot.cfg file so exit cstrike and edit the .cfg file. BEFORE YOU DO make a copy of it just in case. Actually I just renamed my old podbot.cfg file to ivpbot.cfg and popped it in the cstrike\ivpbot folder to replace the orginal THAT I HAD RENAMED..
I did the same for my podbot names. DON'T Touch the other .cfgs though unless you're 100% sure you know what you're doing.

99% of problems are from not having it installed in the right place. CHECK YOUR PATHS. Use windows explorer with Folders viewed on the left so you can verify the directory structure and folder contents. PowerDesk Pro is the perfect program for this "stuff".

Here's a pic of what your folder structure should look like in windows explorer (my computer) in detail view.
================================================== =====

Well you say to open up the zip folder and inside is cstrike folder...but inside mine is only a .dll file...i tried re downloading it but stil only that file.something im missing?

Another thing i didnt understand from

Juaninzze vbmenu_register("postmenu_6252", true); click on the folder then gold shift and highlight the other now
Umm yeah i didnt get that..if sombody could like simplify it BIG time..act as if ur explaining it to a retarded person lol thanks...

Rubber, you seem to have downloaded the new .dll only and not the full archive/installer.
Go to http://www.ivpbot.tk/ you'll see the downloads link, go there and grab the proper version for your OS.
Once installed replace the ivpbot.dll with the new one you have already got..
