Maybe that will give you a clue? Also, rcbot does not go in the NS mod folder, it's needs to be in your half-life folder.

Ok, sounds like you put the rcbot folder in the wrong directory. For steam, the rcbot folder ( complete with all of it's contents ) will need to go here:

QUOTE

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<my email address>\half-life

DO NOT PUT RCBOT INSIDE THE NS FOLDER!

Since it's always best to use the metamod version, we are going to go that route. You can use RCbot 1.3 for this application but be sure you have Metamod 1.7 installed in your :

QUOTE

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<my email address>\half-life\ns\addons\metamod\dlls

folder. Now you should edit the liblist.gam with notepad.exe. Replace the:

CODE

gamedll "gamedll "dlls\ns.dll"

with:

CODE

gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"

Save and close this file.

Next, go to your:

QUOTE

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<my email address>\half-life\ns\addons\metamod

folder and edit the plugins.ini with notepad.exe. Your going to add the following to your plugins.ini:

CODE

win32 ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll

Save and close the file.

RCbot is now installed and should be ready for use.

The only other way to load rcbot is without metamod. You will NOT be able to add any more mods to NS this way. With the rcbot folder in the correct location, open the liblist.gam with notepad.exe then replace the gamedll line with this:

CODE

gamedll ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll

Any other gamedll lines in the liblist.gam should either be deleted or comented out with 2 farward slashes, like this: //gamedll "dlls\ns.dll"
This keeps half-life from loading any unnessisary modules that may interfear with rcbot.

Save and close the liglist.gam. RCbot should load. If it does not then the rcbot folder is still in the wrong directory, please correct it.
