Installation on Linux (Steam Client on Linux) Options

[oxez]

Hello.

Valve has been porting Steam and most of their games to Linux, and that includes DoD:S.

I'm trying to install the bots on my Steam for Linux (client) and it doesn't seem to work. I did the following:

Put the rcbot2 folder in ~/ and in SteamApps/common/ and SteamApps/<email>/ (to make sure it was at the right place..)

Put the HPB_bot2_i486.so file in SteamApps/common/Day of Defeat Source/bin/
I also put it in SteamApps/common/Day of Defeat Source/dod/bin just to be sure

Start DoD:S with -insecure, and then type in console: plugin_load "../bin/HPB_bot2_i486".

This is what I get:

CODE

plugin_load "../bin/HPB_bot2_i486"
Unable to load plugin "../bin/HPB_bot2_i486"
Unable to load plugin "../bin/HPB_bot2_i486"

Is there something I can do about that? Also, I'm running 64-bit. Could that be why it can't load the plugin? (Even though the game is 32-bit..)

Thanks

Hi oxez,

Welcome to the forums, i think I see another problem, this is wrong...

Put the rcbot2 folder in ~/ and in SteamApps/common/ and SteamApps/<email>/ (to make sure it was at the right place..)

The rcbot2 folder should be in your \users\[user name] folder.
Although in linux, the users folder may be called something else, i can't remember atm...
It may be the \home folder\[user name]? Is ~/ the home folder?

Also, genmacs advice is the best way to load the plugin. Doing it that way, it should load just by launching dods from steam. You won't need to use plugin_load in the console...

Also, it looks like the current offset for linux rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods, is 417. Check that in the rcbot2 config.ini if you have any crashes...

See if that helps.

You need to know what the working directory is in linux . Maybe it is different but ive no idea how to find out. Also remember everything is case sensitive in linux. Also follow genmac and madmaxs advice
