Metamod, AMXX, Statsme, and EPOD install help

[^aE]

Ok, so as the title says, i have metamod, amxx, statsme, and i want to install some epod bots. I've read through all of the documentation, and most of the threads on this forum, but nothing tells me how to set it up. You see, i'm trying to install on a linux dedicated server. All the instructions are for win32, and dont help much since there is no exe for me to run .

I've tried putting the line

linux EPODbot/EPB_i686.so

into the metamod plugins.ini file, but it wont load properly. There is all this talk about a epodbot liblist.gam file, but the linux epod.zip file didn't come with a liblist.gam file, so thats kind of confusing me.

I boot my serv by adding the -dll option linking to metamod, rather than editing the liblist, so i'm not quite sure what to do here. I've fooled around for a bit, but i just can't get it working

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

linux EPODbot/EPB_i686.so shoud be working. You must load metamod via liblist.gam and in plugins.ini you must have
linux EPODbot/EPB_i686.so
Thats all.

The reason i dont want to edit the liblist.gam file is because i have two boot files that i can choose from. ./calboot.sh will boot the server without metamod. ./amxboot.sh will boot the server with metamod, which includes all of the other mods like amxx and statsme. If i edit the liblist.gam file, i'll have to reedit it to make amx not boot, so that i can run a scrim server rather than a pub. Thats why i put the -dll option into the boot.

So, do i absolutely need to boot metamod from the liblist.gam file, and if so what could i do to easily switch from core hlds to amxx quickly and efficiently?

ps. is there any order to the things in the plugins.ini file? i know statsme only works if it is located before amx, so this is what my plugins.ini file looks like.


linux addons/statsme/dlls/statsme_mm_i386.so
linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so


where would i put the linux EPODbot/EPB_i686.so line?

[^aE]

This is what it looks like if i do meta list.

Currently loaded plugins:
description stat pend file vers src load unlod
[ 1] STATSME RUN - statsme_mm_i386. v2.8.3 ini Chlvl Chlvl
[ 2] <EPB_i686.so> badf load EPB_i686.so v - ini - -
[ 3] AMX Mod X RUN - amxmodx_mm_i386. v1.71 ini ANY ANY
[ 4] Fun RUN - fun_amxx_i386.so v1.71 pl3 ANY ANY
4 plugins, 3 running


That is what it looks like if i have the -dll option in the load script and not in the liblist.gam file, and its also what it looks like if i remove the -dll option and add it to liblist.gam. It doesn't seem to make a difference, metamod is still not running epodbot.

Any help? I'm sure i dont have a wrong address in the plugins.ini file

EPB must be in the last line of plugins.ini

[^aE]

Tried that too, still got the same error in meta list, just it was in the third spot, not the second. the 'fun' plugin was still last.

Still not solving any problems,

That may be a lib problem. Try to install the libs required by epb. try "ldd EPB_i686.so" to look at the needed libs. which linux do you use?

[^aE]

I'm running the server on a box with FC4 installed.

Could you possibly better explain what to do with the libs?

Thanks,

[markus_heiden]

The current version of epb is compiled against libstdc++.so.5. Newer linux distributions only install libstdc++.so.6. So install the libstdc++.so.5 and epb should work.

In future epb will be compiled against libstdc++.so.6 so this problem will not arise anymore.

Yeah, i figured out what to do after your first post. The ldd EPB_i686.so confused me, but i played around with it, and it told me that the lib file was missing, so i went to get it, and now it all works ^_^.

Thanks a lot,
