CS 1.6 (Steam) + Metamod + 1.6.5.2 Problem

[BotUser]

Hi,

first of all thanks for this great bot. Gives me endless hours of offline fun ...

Version 1.6.5.1 worked nice in my setup. I run Steam-CS 1.6 together with Metamod, and my launch options look like:

-dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll +localinfo mm_gamedll joebot/joebot.dll

Today I downloaded 1.6.5.2 and it does not work any more.

Liblist.gam is the one extracted from the 1.6.5.2 zip-file:

game "Counter-Strike"
url_info "www.counter-strike.net"
url_dl ""
version "1.6"
size "184000000"
svonly "0"
secure "1"
type "multiplayer_only"
cldll "1"
hlversion "1111"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_player_start"
gamedll "joebot\joebot.dll"
gamedll_linux "joebot/joebot_i386.so"
trainmap "tr_1"

I also tried to run Joebot as Metamod plugin, using joebot_mm.dll.
Same result.

Using either method, CS crashes to desktop if a game is started.

All worked perfectly with 1.6.5.1, and I checked that the files are in the right locations.

What gives ? Please help ...

so when you overwrite the new dll with the old one it's still running ? because the last days there was also a steam update fuckin' up some stuff, look @ http://forums.bots-united.org/showthread.php?t=1978

I have the same problem. I have been using 1.6.5.1 for months on my server with no problem. After the latest updates, the bot stopped working (due to the chat bug?). When I saw that joebot was updated, I rejoiced. However, I have yet to get the new version working (as a metamod plugin) on my server. I changed no settings or files other than the dll. When I start the server, it does not crash. It just doesn't load the plugin. It gives me this error:

[META] ERROR: dll: Failed query plugin '<joebot_mm.dll>'; Couldn't find Meta_Query();
[META] ERROR: dll: Skipping plugin '<joebot_mm.dll>'; couldn't query
[META] ERROR: dll: Failed to load plugin 'joebot_mm.dll'

The path is still the same to the dll. Metamod was updated to version 1.17.1 recently, but the changes shouldn't have this kind of effect from what I can see. Admin mod still works perfectly.

ok, then this isnt a problem of the new JoeBOT version, but a problem of the steam update, again trashing things here. The 1.6.5.2 _isnt_ yet compatible with that chat stuff, even though the dates are close together.

Yes, I went back to the 1.6.5.1 joebot.dll and everything is working again without having any settings changed.

When trying to start a game with 1.6.5.2, the usual steam popup showing the progress bar (loading, precaching ....) does not even come up. It crashes to desktop before anything happens.

Looks like enginefuncs-problem to me.

I just wanted to note that 1.6.5.1 does load for me with the latest STEAM update, but as soon as someone chats, it crashes the server. 1.6.5.2 won't load at all. It can't seem to find the dll for some reason. I am loading both via metamod and changed nothing in the configuration except for the joebot_mm.dll file. I have the joebot_mm.dll file in the cstrike/joebot folder. My metamod plugins file is pointing to it.

win32 joebot/joebot_mm.dll

Loading it works with 1.6.5.1. It just crashes the server with chat.

I was just logging in to Steam and received the update. 1.6.5.1 still works for me. However, I don't run a server, just a local game for offline play.

We probably all have. We'll have to wait until master @$3.1415rin comes up with some fixes for us
