Help with svencoop 3.0, Can't get this bot working with it

When I edit sc 3.0's liblist.gam file, no matter what I put in gamedll it never works. I have this in c:\sierra\half-life\rcbot, nothing wrong there. When you edit that gamedll part it will always be looking within the sc directory, so how are you supposed to point outside it to the bot? Also this about the only thing I might ever post about, unles I find a really annoying bug with the bot while playing sc (if I get it working)

This is my NS liblist.gam:

CODE

// Using HPB_bot support for now
//gamedll "dlls\ns.dll"
gamedll "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so"

As you see the "doubledot" denotes parent folder thus looking down the rcbot main folder.

Hope this helps otherwise pls post your liblist.gam and if possible a gif-image of your half-life directory in explorer.

regards

I moved rcbot into sc typed that liblist stuff. The main thing I missed was the rcbot in "rcbot addbot". You should make one of them fancy pointer* or this=that things in the code so rcbot addbot=addbot or whatever. Can't believe I missed that.

Servus / Hi !

I'm from Germany, too, so please understand that my english isn't perfect...

My problem is :

I want to play a Lan-Game with some bots, to test the new version of RCBot

but unfortunately I can't add bots because the server says that he doesn't know the command !
My command is :
rcbot addbot

I've installed it in the correct directory ".../ego-shooter/Half-Life/" and he has create the correct folder "...Half-Life/rcbot/" with all the important stuff in it (e.g. botprofiles, dlls, map_configs, waypoints, bot_chat.ini and so on).
My Liblist.gam looks like this :

QUOTE

game "Sven Co-op"
url_info "http://www.svencoop.com"
url_dl "http://www.svencoop.com"
version "3.0"
size "5"
svonly "0"
cldll "1"
secure "0"
hlversion "1110"
nomodels "0"
nohimodel "1"
type "multiplayer_only"
mpentity "info_player_deathmatch"
//Using windows
gamedll "..\rcbot\dlls\rcbot.dll"

I don't know what to do now, I tried to change everything, I reinstalled it (Svencoop and RCbot) but with no succes (succed ?!) !

I know it gets on your nerves reading about problems with Svencoop and RCBot, but so I have the chance to get it working

!

I use this command correctly but this message appears :

Unknown command: rcbot

Mh, version 1.1 worked fine, but this one is confusing me

Cheeseh	Jan 12 2004, 08:51 PM Post #10
Admin Group: Admin Posts: 3,066 Joined: 11-September 03 From: uk Member No.: 1	Here is the deal: The liblist.gam file "gamedll" line tells Half-life what DLL file to load. If you have set the gamedll to the Bot DLL file and SvenCoop has loaded successfully (even if the bot isn't working), then Half-life has loaded the bot dll file successfully. The bot is installed to the correct folder and has also found the SvenCoop dll file fine to hook the dll. I am guessing you have either installed the wrong version of the bot (say for rocket crowbar) or are trying to use commands on a server which is not your own, if so read the readme FAQ about it.

Also, re-check your liblist.gam entry. The gamedll line (for windows) should apear exactly like this.

CODE

gamedll "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll"

Ok, just so I understand correctly, maxplayers = 8, correct?

What is your minbot and maxbot levels set at?

Admin Group: Admin Posts: 3,066 Joined: 11-September 03 From: uk Member No.: 1	yes, your maxplayers is probably 2! I can't control what the half-life engine returns for creating a new player, thus it's an HL fault.
