I keep looking at the manual, and maybe I'm just stupid, but there dosen't seem to be a gamedll for Natural Selection in the Liblist.gam file. I see a cldll line, but I'm not sure thats it and besides, it has a diffrent slash type. So I'm not sure wether to actually add "gamedll" at the bottom, or whats going on. Has this happened before, or am I doing something wrong?

P.S The RCbot is only marine, or is it both alien and marine?

you need to delete the old gamedll line
the new dll line need to be this for standalone dll:
QUOTE
gamedll "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll"


and for metamod you need this line at plugins.ini
QUOTE
win32 ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll


rcbot is both alien and marines

What I'm saying is that in the liblist.gam file, there isn't a gamdll line! There is a cldll line. So I'm asking do I have to add it or do I have a messed up file or what.

you have a messed up file, can you even create a server? Have you scrolled down the text file.. assuming that you aren't dumb enough not to scroll down to look at everything in the file tongue.gif

Just start up a LAN server for NS and the liblist.gam should automaticly correct itself for default NS. Once you sucessfully ran your LAN server, edit the ns/liblist.gam file with notepad.exe and you should see the gamedll lines near the end of it. Just change the gamedll line to the aporpriate (not sure of spelling) method of how you want rcbot used.

This is assuming you have rcbot and metamod installed to thier correct directories.

RCBot Stand Alone
Edit the ns/liblist.gam gamedll line to say:
CODE
gamedll "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll"


RCBot Metamod Supported
Edit the ns/liblist.gam gamedll line to say:
CODE
gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll"

Now edit the ns/addons/metamod/plugins.ini to say:
CODE
win32 ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll

this is exactly what my ns/liblist.gam file looks like. (edited)

////////////////////////////
// Natural Selection //
// by Charlie Cleveland //
////////////////////////////
game "Natural Selection (beta)"

url_info "www.natural-selection.org"

url_dl "http://www.natural-selection.org/"

version "v3.0"

size "165000000"

svonly "0"

secure "0"

cldll "cl_dlls\client.dll"

hlversion "1110"

// How to allow training but disable "New game"?
type "multiplayer_only"

// Don't show models in browser
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"

// Only show NS-compliant maps
mpentity "info_mapinfo"

// Using HPB_bot support for now
gamedll "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll"
//gamedll_linux "dlls\rcbot_i486.so"


// Training map
//trainmap "ns_training"


as you can see, iv changed the gamedll "dlls/ns.dll" to gamedll "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll" but it still wont work, i was wondering if there was anything wrong with the file? from what you can see.

(PS: i get confused on the // and \\)

Well as Sandman said this is all assuming that RcBot is installed into the correct directory. The problem you describe is one most of us went through when we first started using RcBot. It should NOT be installed in the NSP directory but in the one above it. eg:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\ozwar@spl.at\dedicated server\rcbot

NOT

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\ozwar@spl.at\dedicated server\nsp\rcbot

does that help? cool.gif

Ok, quick explaination of the slash marks found in the liblist.gam.

Two farward slashes like this // is a comment. Meaning it cansles the line so the half-life engine can't read what that line says.

One farward slash like this / is a directory switch for Windows. Tells the half-life engine to move onto the next following directory.

One backward slash like this \ is a directory switch for Linux but Windows can read that as well. Tells the half-life engine to move onto the next following directory.

One last thing. The quotes " tell the half-life engine to read the entire line with-in the quotes as one word or as a single command function.



As for your liblist.gam file. It looks correct for NS 3.0 on steam, if that is what your running. The correct directory placement for rcbot on a listenserver would be like this.
CODE
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<my email address>\half-life\rcbot


If your using dedicated server for steam then you NEED to get the stand alone dedicated server package from http://steampowered.com/. DON'T USE STEAM'S BUILT IN DEDICATED SERVER! The correct directory placement for rcbot would then look like this.
CODE
C:\hlserver\rcbot


I hope this helps you understand things better.
