Sometimes I can get one or two in a server but then I try to add another and it crashes my game. Ive tried using metamod dll obviously with metamod installed and also tried using the non metamod dll both while doing the "Create Server" option in NS. Tried using the metamod dll and also tried using the non metamod dll both while running a dedicated server. On my dedicated server im also running Adminmod if thats going to cause troubles. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Sandman might be able to help with that, there are a few threads located around the forums about that sort of thing. Maybe check your server log, or rcbot_crashlog.txt if it is there on hl folder.

I'm using METAMOD 1.17.4.0 with RCBOT BETA 1.4 I don't think its metamod's problem because I ran both game and dedicated server with rcbot directly and it still crashes. Any help please?

Also, if both Gamjo and mkl can post copies of thier liblist.gam and metamod/plugins.ini, it could prove helpful.

Was using metamod with rcbot, but now just rcbot only just to test so my liblist.gam:

CODE

////////////////////////////
// Natural Selection //
// by Charlie Cleveland //
////////////////////////////
game "Natural Selection"
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 "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
// Training map
//trainmap "ns_training"

this still crashes btw, so its nothing to do with metamod..

Rcbot has been proven to fail to load or just crash HL to desktop with multiable gamedll lines.

If that don't work, try changing

CODE

gamedll "..\rcbot\dlls\rcbot.dll"

to

CODE

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

Admin Group: Admin Posts: 3,066 Joined: 11-September 03 From: uk Member No.: 1	we get no problems as i always test the bot, i wouldnt release if it didn't work. Skitchy & sandman runs 24/7 servers with the bots I don't know what the problem is except that you've got the bot installed to the wrong folder, and it can't find the rcbot dll file. That's all that would crash HL under these circumstances.

Member Group: Members Posts: 20 Joined: 6-April 05 Member No.: 534	Have you changed in anyway how the dll files are found or any of the files for that matter since the last version because when I changed the files all I switched was the dll files and it was work with the old ones just fine. My file struct is: HLServer/rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll HLServer/rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll HLServer/ns/addons/metamod/plugins.ini with rcbot having the same file stuct as the zip.

If you are running the bot ok but only crashes when you add bots (mis-read the topic :S) Try deleting: all .rcr files (rcbot/botprofiles) all .brn files (rcbot/botprofiles) player_ids.ini (rcbot) as i said read rcbot_crashlog.txt

Try deleting:

all .brn files (rcbot/botprofiles)
player_ids.ini (rcbot)

as i said read rcbot_crashlog.txt

Deleted all the .rcr files and .brn files, couldnt find the player_ids.ini

yeah still the same thing, it loads up and I see bots joining but after 3-5 seconds it crashes. Same for HLDS, the server starts in console I see people joining then, crash.

Also there is no rcbot_crashlog.txt

And also what Mad_Scientist said, If i replace the new DLLs with the old 1.3 versions, it doesn't crash.

Ummm, sorry sir. I'm only using rcbot's on special combat maps and I haven't yet updated to the very latest patch. But as of lately, i've only been running whichbots because I love those hyper fast super fades and near unstopable lerks.

yes i have that ini, contents is

CODE

rcbot/

my rcbot is installed at:

C:\Steam\SteamApps\xxx@xxx.com\dedicated server\rcbot

Also I checked event viewer the fault for crashing is:

CODE

Faulting application hlds.exe, version 4.1.1.1, faulting module rcbot_mm.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00031124.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

btw this happens in NON-dedicated too.

*edit*

one more thing, if i DONT add any bots it doesn't crash at all.
