podbot worked 2 days ago

[cre8or]

yep my podbots was working for like 2 days ago, but after i restarted the server and the steam updated something. The server crashes after loading metamod plugin, "podbot_i386.so" When i remove the podbot_i386.so from plugins.ini everything works fine. So my conclution is that steam did some update that dont like the podbotxx.so file. But since i liked it so much i wonder if there is any solution to this problem.

[cre8or]

Anyone ?

Does anyone run podbot these days or was it just me?

I really need the bots get back to work

You may need to wait for some linux users. I have windows and it works. Try to use maybe the latest metamod (1.1. Maybe it will help You.

[cre8or]

i have tried about 3 diffrent versions even the latest posted today on amxmodx website. And all creashes when i add podbot to metamod ini file.

[woot woot]

Actually ran into that problem in windows long time ago with the different metamods. However, I just had to get the normal metamod. Now there is a new Metamod out, Metamod-P 1.19 which is a more optimized version than the original and haven't tested it out with podbot. I'm a windows user, can't help you more than that. =/

Iis there so few linux users with bots
Any help/tips on this issue is very welcome.
Metamod-P 1.19p28 didnt work either, heres the old crash info:

Try this way - remove all plugins from metamod's plugins.ini and start the game with clean podbot mm only.

[cre8or]

heres what came up when i only used podbot in the ini file:
cre8or@cks1:~> ./start2.sh

Btw i run 3 servers on the same box 27015 27016 27017 if that could have something to do with it. But the podbot dont work on any of them. I have tried everything. I must have been something to do with that steam update, since it worked before the update.

[KWo]

Try to download R2B46d fullpack again and make a fresh installation of podbot. Then run it, but only as one server at one PC-box. And as only one mm plugin and let me know if it works or still it doesn't.
