To install metamod You need to do this:
1. Download the latest binaries file from :
http://metamod.org/
Currently the latest file You need is this:
a) if You have windows:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/m...n.zip?download
b) if You have linux:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/m...ar.gz?download
c) if You have AMD64 linux:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/metamod/metamod-1.20-linux-amd64.tar.gz?download

2. If You don't have yet the "addons" directory in Your mod directory (mod directory - I mean "cstrike" or "czero" directory), then You have to create it. Example for CS1.6 steam version:
C:\Program Files\Sierra\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.address\co unter-strike\cstrike\addons

Example for old WON CS1.5 version:
C:\Program Files\Sierra\Half-Life\cstrike\addons

3. In that created by You addons directory (step previous), You need to create also metamod directory and inside it also dlls directory.
Example:
...cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls

4. Extract this file You downloaded from metamod web site (first step) and just copy metamod.dll file to this \metamod\dlls subdirectory You created in step 3. For linux users the name of this file You need to copy instead metamod.dll it's metamod_i386.so or metamod_amd64.so (for AMD64 linux users).

5. Go to Your metamod directory and then create a plugins.ini file (text file) and put there this line:

a) for windows:
win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll

b) for "normal" linux:
linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so

c) for AMD64 linux:
linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_amd64.so

This plugins.ini file should be in metamod directory (not in metamod\dlls).

6. Go to Your mod directory (for example "cstrike" or "czero") and find this file - liblist.gam

7. Change this line in it:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"

to this:
gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
or for linux
gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
or for AMD64 linux
gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_amd64.so"

Note - bring attention at these slashes (for win "\", for linux "/").

8. Download Full pack podbot mm V3Build22 from here
and extract it to Your addons directory. You have to see these directories after extracting:
...\cstrike\addons\podbot (and some subdirectories here...)
...\cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls

9. If there is some build more up-to date - download the latest build of PODbot and replace (after extracting from a zip file) podbot_mm.dll (for windows). You can get it here.
For linux i386 get the file and linux amd64 get here.

You may use this dll (or so for linux) if it will be more up to date, because it may inlude more features than the one from V3Build22.

10. Try to start the game and say us if this was sufficient what I was writting about a half hour...

[EDIT=KWo]
Updated the links to the newest metamod.
Changed a bit description to show the version R2B46c instead too much confusing and too much bugged R2.1 .
Changed a bit description to show the version R2B46d instead R2B46c, added a link to AMD64.
Changed a bit description to show the version V3Build15c instead R2B46d.
Changed a bit description to show the version V3Build22 instead V3Build15c and updated the link.
[/EDIT]

there's also a thing called the "Presetup pack"

which will install metamod podbot and statsme it contains both windows and linux versions (linux pobot is outdated alot)

all you do is download the file and extract the contents, drag the whole cstrike folder to your installed folder:

cs1.5
C:\Program Files\Sierra\Half-Life\

steam
C:\Program Files\Sierra\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.address\co unter-strike\

and say yes to overwriting files and your done.

Ps: if anyone can get the source and compile a linux .so plz do so and email it to me and splorygon

Hi im still a noob at this,

kwo when u said

"5. Go to Your metamod directory and then create a plugins.ini file (text file) and put there this line:

win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll"

I don't understand what you are saying, do i have to create a text file with notepad or do i change something in the file?

If You don't have yet plugins.ini file in Your metamod directory, You need to create it by notepad and then write to it that my line. If You have already this file (with some other plugin calls), You need only edit it to add that my line.

wait, ok right now in my metapod directory i have a folder that has .dlls and a notepad file that has

win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll

again im really sry but im a total noobie at this

[KWo]

In Your metamod directory You should have a dlls directory and the file plugins.ini (created by You in notepad) with that my line.
..\metamod\dlls [DIR]
..\metamod\plugins.ini

in this dlls subdirectory You should have metamod.dll file.

..\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll

okay i did every one of the instructions (correctly i hope) and i start up a new game in cs, but im just there sitting by myself :'(. In my metamod directory i have a dlls folder and a text file (which i made by myself) named plugins.ini which, if you open contains

win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll

What mod are You using (CS1.5, CS1.6, CZ or what) and what operating system (some windows or Linux)?

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Most of the people don't have the file extensions shown in Windows when they browse their files. Thus if our friend created this file with notepad, chances are that it'll be actually named "plugins.ini.txt".

Only thing is that the .txt doesn't show

Ensure you have the file extensions displayed.

*edit*
I got your PM, bamboo. Instead of replying to it I'll post in this thread so it can profit to other members who may encounter the same problem in the future.

In order to have Windows display the file extensions, open a file browsing window, and go to the menu Tools->Folder options (the name may be slightly different because I have the french version of Windows XP). You'll get an options window with three tabs. Click on the "display" one (second tab). There you have a list of checkboxes. Down in that list you have a checkbox that says "Hide extensions for known file types" (or something like that). Just uncheck it and click OK. Now all your files should have the right extension displayed, so you can rename them easily and change their extension by hand.
