Well.. fer starters, you got three gamedll's...

Comment out

CODE

gamedll "dlls\ns.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so"

those two lines by putting // in front of it, like this

CODE

//gamedll "dlls\ns.dll"
//gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so"

No. When you create the "New Text Document.txt", you need to right click on it and select "Rename" from the drop down menu and rename the file "plugins.ini". Anything short of just "plugins.ini" is wrong. When you do this, windows should display a rename prompt saying something about changing the file extention and if you would like to continue.

The icon displaying your newly named file will change from what looks like a notepad to what looks like a notepad with a yellow cog on the side.

Actually, all of that is dependant on how you set it up.. You could make a .ini file have the description of.. "Bob Dole's Fantastic Configuration and Initialization Routine File" with Bob Dole's face as the little icon..

But if it's not working right, and what fits the description is, you're not displaying the full file extensions, so that file is actually named
plugins.ini.txt
and it's not being seen.. so what you need to check is on a windows explorer window, go to..

Tools -> Folder Options
Click the View tab
Find the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox
Make sure it's UNCHECKED

Was does matter is that all the files are where they need to be and if your liblist.gam file has been edited properly. Please post a copy of your current liblist.gam file contents.

Ok, it appears that you have successfully edited your liblist.gam file correctly. Now, in an earlyer post, you said that your plugins.ini contained the line...

CODE

win32 ..\rcbot\dlls\rcbot_mm.dll

This is incorrect. Your plugins.ini file should contain a line that looks like this....

CODE

win32 ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll

Notice how I changed the back slash for a farward slash? The rcbot_mm.dll is also only for rcbot 1.3 and the very latest 1.38 beta. The earlyer rcbot beta's were named hpb_bot.dll. Make sure your trying to load the right rcbot.dll.

When does the crash happen? 1) on server startup? 2) after server startup 3) when you pick up a weapon or die on ns classic? If the answer is either #2 or #3 then you may have the wrong metamod version. NS 3.0 beta5 demands MM 1.17.2.p10 or higher. If the answer is #1 then you may have a dll file and/or folder out of place. Namely metamod or rcbot or both.

Edit the liblist.gam file and coment out metamod and remove the coment from the ns.dll. A coment is the dubble farward slash at the start is the line. Start the listenserver and run around on any map for a minute or 2. If you can load and play NS, procede to step 2. If not, reinstall NS. Step2. Edit the liblist.gam and reverse the last changes made from step 1. This time, your also going to edit the plugins.ini by comenting out ANY plugins with-in the list. Start your listenserver again. If it runs, open the console and type: meta list. If metamod does respond, procede to step 3. If your listenserver crashes, check the location of your metamod.dll placement again. It should be: /half-life/ns/addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll. Step3. Edit your plugins.ini once more by un-doing what we did to it in step 2. Start the listensever again. If it runs, open the console and type: meta list. Rcbot should list as status - RUN. If rcbot failed to load or the listenserver crashes now then check the rcbot folder for /half-life/rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll. Please let me know what you find.

Please let me know what you find.

step one went smoothly, it worked fine, but with step 2, dashing out the other gamedlls and undashing meta mod dll, crash prob again. but also, before it crashes, it says "starting local game server" dosent that mean that its a lan game? i un-checked lan. it was definitly sposed to be internet.
