- - Best Bot ? (http://forums.bots-united.com/showthread.php?t=1224)

I have used POD Bots with the 1.5 version of Counter-Strike, but I can't seem to find it for 1.6. What is the best Bot program for 1.6 and where can I get it?

Thanks

-Captain Jack Sparrow

which bot is the best is a question of taste, but if you like podbot I would recommend you getting pmb's fixed podbot 2.6 metamod plugin. Look for the thread "podbot back in to shape" in the metamod plugins forum;)

MusicMan

PMB (the guy who is now FIXing old buggy PODBot 2.6 source code) always uploads latest version here: http://racc.bots-united.com/releases/podbot.zip

You may also try new waypoints by SoUlFaThEr , here: http://forums.bots-united.com/attach...tachmentid=140.

Enjoy!

P.S. remember PODBot is now Metamod plugin so you need both :)

There are also other POD-bot clones with different features available here at Bots United... don't miss out E[POD]bot and IvPBot...

1 .download the metamod dll from www.metamod.org and put in the directory "cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls" then open your liblist.gam file in notepad and change the line "gamedll" to read "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll" instead of "dlls\mp.dll"

that was the metamod installation procedure now lets move on the podbot mm installation.

2 . download PMB's fixed podbot and unzip the archive to your "cstrike\addons" directory.
Then go to your "cstrike\addons\metamod" directory and create a new textdocument and type in the line:

"win32 addons\podbot\podbot_mm.dll" without the quotes and save it.

then rename the file to "plugins.ini" without the quotes and make sure that you are not hiding file extensions on all of your other files because if you are your file would really be called plugins.ini.txt which would not work.

3. start up CS and frag some bots;)

MusicMan

P.S I assume you are running windows.

I am running windows.

How do I makes sure about the file extensions?
And when I run up cs how do I start the bots?

Sorry for asking all these dumb questions.
The 1.5 version was way easier to install and run.

I have a danish version of Windows, but I will try and translate it at my best.

Open up My Computer.
click Tools at the top of the screen.
click Folder Settings.
click Show.
Uncheck "hide file extensions on known file types".

That should solve the extension problem and as far as the bots starting on my computer they are added automatically at the start of a round.

You can push the "p" button to get a menu with podbot options.

I Hope this helps you;)

I dont have a cstrike/addons. Can I do this on my PC or do I need a server?

hmm... this might be when we need an installer like austin's..
anyways...
i'm just supposing you have mod version of counter-strike and that you installed halflife on C drive..
-------
1. Extract podbot using winzip or something..

2. Open My Computer and in the address bar(the top thing that says "My Computer") type in "C:\Sierra\Half-life\cstrike" and push ENTER.

3. Now look to see if you have a directory called "addons"
if you do skip #4.

4. Right click on some whitespace in the windows you have. Do NOT right click on a file. Then goto New... and it will open a submenu. Then click on "Create New Folder" in the submenu. Name that folder "addons" without the quotes.

5. Navigate to where you extracted podbot and right click on it and click on "Cut".

6. Open the folder called "addons" then right click on some whitespace and goto "Paste"

7. If you do not have metamod installed, http://metamod.org/dl/dlls/metamod.dll.zip click to download. After it is done, extract it somewhere and make a folder called "metamod" (if you do not know how to make a folder goto step #4 except instead of addons, name it "metamod". Make a folder called "dlls" in the metamod folder.

8. Copy "metamod.dll" to the folder called "dlls" in the folder called "metamod".

9. If you do not have a file called "plugins.ini" in your "metamod" folder, Open notepad(C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe) then click on the word "File" on the top. Then click on "Save as...". It should open a windows. Near the bottom of that window find a Drop down box, click on it and goto "All Files". Then navigate to "C:\Sierra\Half-life\cstrike\addons\metamod" and in the box above the Drop down box type in "plugins.ini" and push ENTER.

10. Put "Win32 addons/podbot/podbot.dll" in your "plugins.ini" file. Then click on "File" and click on "Save".

11. Click on "FIle" then click on "Open" and type in the textbox "C:\Sierra\Half-life\cstrike\liblist.gam" and push ENTER.

12. Find where it says 'gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"' and change "dlls\mp.dll" to "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll". Then goto "File" and click on "Save".

13. I think this is it... just run counter-strike and create a lan game or something..

#10 edit

Put in "win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll" without the quotes. Just to be exact;)

I did all of that ran CS and started de_dust.

I got an error that said...

Counter-Strike:hl.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x0f5c2ad9" referenced memory at "0x0f913ee8." The memory could not be "read."

Click on OK to terminate this program.

By the way I am running the mod version of CS which uses Steam.

Is there a bot version that just runs fine on its bloody own. Like with POD Bot for 1.6. If you start cs then pod bots won't run. But when you double click the POD Bot Icon it starts CS but with the bots.

I found the problem lied in metamod so i uninstalled all of that stuff. Then I downloaded the E[POD]Bot. Too my surprise bots actually showed up!!!8o

The only problem is they sit still. There are waypoints. They buy guns but then they just stand there at spawn. When I go to the other teams spawn they dont react to me and also just stand there. help?

E[POD]bot is not compatible with CS 1.6 yet;)

we meet again.. oh.. you were talkin about something .. im sry

What do you mean we meet again?
I'm sure there are a thousand and one Captain Jack Sparrows. It's not like I'm the only one who saw the movie.

Thanks for all your help music man. So what is the best version (i mean easiest) to run on 1.6?

Also how do I uninstall E[POD] bot, it changed a lot of files around.

well I am using PMB's podbot 2.6 mm and I am very happy with it. so just download it and extract to your "cstrike/addons" folder and if you havent got one just create it. then add this line to your metamod "plugins.ini" file:

win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll

Thats it. Enjoy;)

MusicMan

well.. i think its line in pirates of the caribbean.. so.. yeah.. thats it.. realbot works well with 1.6 too.. but it might be hardet to get installed since you need a wip version..

oh lol. I just used IvPBot cus it doesn't use metamod. The metamod file with the new update caused that strande error. Anyway it works now. Thank you everyone who helped me out.

Glad you got it working:)

and np from my side;)
