Warning UPDATE: How to install E[POD]Bots - 31-03-2010

As there is some complainings about the original tutorial itself, I've decided to write a new, modern one of the installation of the bots. The word "Sierra" actually reminds me of something very old.

DOWNLOAD this package.

So, step 1. Decide whether option fits you best.

DOWNLOAD this package, at first.

1. I'm using a Dedicated Server.
2. I put up a server through CS 1.6
3. I put up a server through Condition Zero
4. I put up the server through other one these games, and I have other plugins installed, like Amx Mod X

Whethever you choose, download the package from the download link.
It includes, for now, the latest version of EPB (v5.3) and the working EPB.dll file. When a new version (propably v5.4) comes out, you can find it from the pinned topics of this forum.)
As you have downloaded it, extract it to your downloads folder, temporaly. (Or desktop, if you want to)
Navigate to the folder you have extracted the files. Example: C:\Users\Youraccount\Downloads\EPB_working\
As you have reached it, double click the installation file (EPBv5.3), and it starts installing. It wants to know where do you want to install E[POD]Bots.

1. You use a dedicated server.
Alright, then you should choose the folder to be:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\Dedicated Server\
or, if you are using a -64 bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\Dedicated Server\
The installation installs it to the location you chose under a file \cstrike\EPODBot\
Now you'll have to navigate to the Cstrike -folder and find a file called liblist.gam (propably the only file there).
Open it up. As it asks you whetever you want to search from the internet for a correct program or to choose a program by yourself, you wanna go ahead and choose it yourself. Pick notepad from the options.
Scroll down the file and find this line:
Code:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
and replace it with this one:
Code:
gamedll "EPODBot\epb.dll"
Save the file, and exit.


2. You put up a server through CS 1.6
Go ahead and install the E[POD]Bots to the folder
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\Counter Strike\
or, if you use 64 -bit Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\Counter Strike
When the installation is complete, navigate to
\Counter Strike\cstrike -folder, and find a file called liblist.gam
Open it up. As it asks you whetever you want to search from the internet for a correct program or to choose a program by yourself, you wanna go ahead and choose it yourself. Pick notepad from the options.
Scroll down the file and find this line:
Code:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
and replace it with this one:
Code:
gamedll "EPODBot\epb.dll"
Save the file, and exit.

3. You put up a server through Condition Zero
Alright, this is a little more tricky one. Choose the destination folder to be
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\Counter Strike\czero\
or, if you are using a 64 -bit Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\Condition Zero\czero\
The installation installs the E[POD]Bots to the destination under folder called "cstrike" , which is totally ok.
Now, navigate to the \czero -folder, and find a file called liblist.gam
Open it up. As it asks you whetever you want to search from the internet for a correct program or to choose a program by yourself, you wanna go ahead and choose it yourself. Pick notepad from the options.
Scroll down the file and find this line:
Code:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
and replace it with this one:
Code:
gamedll "cstrike\EPODBot\epb.dll"
Save the file, and exit.

4. You use whetever one of these games and use other plugins, like Amx Mod X.
Before choosing the destination folder you wanna ask yourself: "Have I installed metamod?" It is simple to find out. Navigate to spesific folder of the game you are playing. There, go to \addons. If you see a folder called \metamod , you have metamod installed.
a.) Metamod isn't installed. Go back to gamespesific folder and find a file called liblist.gam . Open it with notepad and see, if there is a line like this:
Code:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
If there is, follow the instructions of the game you play (DS, 1.6, CZ, the earlier three options). If you can't find it, feel free to register and ask. I'll (or some one else) help you.
b.) You have metamod installed. Alright, as the metamod has been installed, it has modified a file called "liblist.gam" so, that it is in it's own use. Now you want to choose the destination folder to be:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\yourgame\addons\
or, if you are using a 64 -bit Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\yourgame\addons\
Now E[POD]Bots have been installed to the destination you chose under a folder called "cstrike", which is totally ok.
Now go to \addons , and find a file called "plugins.ini" Open it up.
As it asks you whetever you want to search from the internet for a correct program or to choose a program by yourself, you wanna go ahead and choose it yourself. Pick notepad from the options you have.
Here, scroll down, and add this line to the bottom:
Code:
win32 addons\cstrike\EPODBot\epb.dll
Now all the hard work is done. Anything left is to replace the incorrect epb.dll with a correct one. Navigate to EPODBot\ and find the epb.dll. You can go ahead and delete it. Now open up a new explorer, and navigate to the folder you extracted the files from the download link, and copy the epb.dll from there to the EPODBot\epb.dll

NOTE: If a later version of EPODBots have come out, you have no need to download any files from this topic. Find the latest version from here:
http://forums.bots-united.com/showthread.php?t=3159
As if there is a later version, you don't need to replace the EPB.dll anymore.

Yeah, I decided to write way bigger tutorial which would include more details and more information. The short one is good, I am not declining it, just wanted to give more details + update it a bit.

By the way, do E[POD]Bots work on CSS?

EDIT:
Why'd you take the quotes off at the endings of
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"

When I edited it, the quotes were there... Weird bugs. Ok seems fixed now.

And for CSS - no, the only working bot for CSS is the integrated one, Valve are not providing us good enough interfaces to be able to write a good bot for CSS.

Please try to provide more information on the issue. I can't guess so much. "I did everything and it doesn't work" is not enough at all. Do you have metamod, if so what meta list says, how does look liblist.gam, what version of CS you are using, because this bot is only compatable with CS 1.6(no cracked versions supported).

I'm highliting the fact "without steam." Does this mean, you are using illegal version of Counter Strike? Like the one that can be downloaded from Digital Zone? If so, we are not obliged to answer this question.
Anyways, like Storm said, you should be more specific. What is the error that you counter? Have you double-checked everything?
Oh, and please note, that this is a guide on how to install E[POD]Bots, not PODBots. There's a difference.

Hmmh, strange. After a year of not playing the game I recently started to play again Now I occure a strange error. I guess I have done all the same things I did back then, and for some reason, Amx mod x occures somekind of error, I guess. Even though I get no error message. The server starts to start up (eh) and it loads the bars, and connects in a way again. In here it starts to establish network connection to the server. After three bars have loaded the it suddenly stops connecting to the server. It just vanishes and I'm back to square one. I wonder why.
Anyways, I read this tutorial again and was impressed by it.
