Crashing HLDS

[Sputnik53]

So, my HLDS is crashing, when I lately have been using the newest PODBot.
The error message I get is this:


I'm trying to play Counter-Strike 1.6 STEAM with AMX Mod 2005.1.
So this is what I did before this started:
1. Installed PODBot and it worked fine.
2. Installed some waypoint pack and it stopped working.
3. Re-installed PODBot and still wont work.

For those they don't know - Sputnik53 is one of the most active AMX' forum members.
Back to the topic.
First off - the version created 2005.02.15 isn't the latest one...
Try this one.
Read this , to make sure You installed everything correctly. The name of the topic is related to installing metamod, but the contents of it explains also how to installl podbot mm correctly.

Thank you. But the same error gets up. I replaced the one I had by the one you gave in your link but no help. Exactly same message.

Check if the HLDS exe You have is the same as I have - look at the picture - it says the date creation of exe file when You start the server (at very begining).

I use the normal HLDS from Steam.

Maybe I got it wrong - but make it for me more clear - do You use Steam HLDS to launch old CS1.5 or it's HLDS for CS1.6? As far I know the HLDS for CS1.6 isn't 4.1.1.1 version (it's for old CS1.5).
Let me also know - does it crash for You at all maps, or only on some certain maps? Try to narrow for me the problem to let me reproduce it, then I'll ask splorygon (podbot mm coder) to help.
Hint - since You installed some waypoint pack - maybe just delete all *.pxp files from podbot/wptdefault folder (but don't delete *.pwf ones !!!) and check - if the waypoints for de_aztec, de_piranesi, de_cbble and de_inferno You are using are correctly (go to the fullpack for R2B46d and check the wptdefault directory - there is a file called "AboutOldCS1.5.txt" - read it if You are using CS1.5).
[EDIT]
Just checked HLDS for CS1.6 - it says so:

L 12/11/2005 - 15:56:29: Log file started (file "logs\L1211000.log") (game "cstrike") (version "47/1.1.2.5/2.0.0.0/3329")

Make sure what the version are You playing , because I got confused...

Answering to Your question You asked at AMX forum:

Yes - You can do this. Just read what podbot.cfg says:

#welcome_msgs off

Just find it in podbot.cfg and remove "#" from the last line I showed above.

Steam HLDS Counter-Strike 1.6 contact the programmer this is annoying me.

Did You try to remove at all podbot folder and install it from scratch? I mean - delete whole podbot folder, then download fullpack R2B46d and uznip it to addons directory (the zip file contains podbot folder and all necessary sub-folders/files).
Hint - if You are creating a dedicated server, You need to have everything for metamod installed in:
...\SteamApps\your@email\dedicated server\cstrike\addons\
but when You try to create a listenserver, You need to have everything for metamod installed in:
...\SteamApps\your@email\counter-strike\cstrike\addons\

Can You make some screenshots from Your folders: addons, metamod, podbot (but as jpg files) to show me the structure and contents of them?

[EDIT]
Are You absolutely sure You are using legall Steam CS1.6? If it's CS1.6 Non-Steam - we will not able to help you. This forum doesn't support Non-Steam CS1.6.

After msn conversation the problem has been successfully solved. After making the fresh installation of podbot everything started to work OK. All crashes were caused by screwed up botweapons.cfg file.
If someone doesn't know how does it work, it's better don't touch it or - at least - ask.
