POD-Bot causes 1.6 to close

[Tristeza]

Hi, I'm very new to this MetaMod stuff, only having the basic AMX abuse under my sleeve.

My MetaMod plugins.ini currently looks like this:

; AMX Mod
win32 addons/amx/dlls/amx_mm.dll
; Podbot
win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll
; AMX Mod modules
; NOTE: don't declare 'pure' AMX Modules here
; (those not having '_mm' in their filename)
; CS Stats (AMX module)
win32 addons/amx/modules/csstats_mm.dll
; Fun (AMX module)
win32 addons/amx/modules/fun_mm.dll
; Vexd Utilities (AMX module)
; win32 addons/amx/modules/VexdUM_mm.dll

I'm running windows. (obv)

However, when I run CS 1.6 and open a LAN server (Me and my clan play via hamachi so we always do it this way) and type in "Meta List" to see if its running, CS proceeds to shut down on me. Any ideas why? It works fine if i put the ; in fromt of podbots DLL adress, but of course that stops it working. Is it clashing with AMX's things?

If You are using AMX 2006.x version You shouldn't have all its modules listed in metamod's plugins.ini. If You are using any older version of AMX - everything may happen. You can use the All-In-One package which includes AMX X 1.76d, pb mm V3B18c and metamod 1.19 - it contains everything You need. AMX X is a similar project to AMX (they both have the same origin), but AMX X is still supported and developped - AMX is not.
The installation of All-In-One is easy - You need to download the zip file, then uznip all the crap into the main "cstrike" (or "czero" - depanding on the mod You are playing) folder - let overwrite all files. This combination is tested and it doesn't crash (excpet You want to use it under old CS1.5 - then You need to make more effort to get it working).

Hi,

I just downloaded all_in_one_2_8f.zip, unzipped it according to the instructions on the website - yet CS crashes when I try to start a new server. I'm using CS 1.6 with Steam.

Any ideas?

If You are installing the bots first time on Your PC and You can see some message like "Couldn't find DLL API..." that means You just need to reinstall steam and install All-In-One again. Usually the second time everything is working (if You are really doing everything right).

I've reinstalled Steam and All-in-One several times now, but it still crashes once I try to start a new game. No error message, no nothing. It just quits CS.

Post Your liblist.gam from the main cstrike folder. Post Your plugins.ini from cstrike\addons\metamod folder.

liblist.gam:

game "Counter-Strike"
url_info "www.counter-strike.net"
url_dl ""
version "1.6"
size "184000000"
svonly "0"
secure "1"
type "multiplayer_only"
cldll "1"
hlversion "1111"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_player_start"
gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
trainmap "tr_1"



plugins.ini:

win32 addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm.dll
linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll
linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so

You are using Windows or linux based PC?
Try to disable for test CSDM included in All-In-One package. To do it You need to go to cstrike\addons\amxmodx\configs folder and find the file called plugins-csdm.ini, then rename it to disabled-csdm.ini. Then start the server again.

I'm using Windows. I'll give it a shot soon and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again for all your help so far.

That still didn't work. It still just closes after trying to start a new game.
