SteamCMD Dedicated Server Options

[HulkBogan]

Hello Cheeseh. It's good to see you're still around. I was setting up a new DOD Source server and I'm having trouble getting RCBOT up and running. I'm hoping you can resolve my issue. Thanks in advance.

First off, this is a brand new Windows dedicated server installation from SteamCMD (the new updater). The game no longer creates an "Orangebox" folder within the dedicated installation. The folder directory is as shown below...



In the graphic above, what is the installation location for the contents of RCBOT? Specifically, where do I put the RCBOT folder and the dll? If I understand correctly, the DLL goes in the bin folder within the DOD folder shown above but if I place the RCBOT folder within the mod folder (dod), I get an error stating "orangebox/dod" mod not found.

Using the directory information in the graphic, what should my botmods.ini file look like for dod? I have tried many things already. Perhaps you could simplify your installation instructions with SteamCMD on a Windows dedicated server?

Thank you sir and continued success!

Hi HulkBogan,

I think this is in the wrong place...

If I understand correctly, the DLL goes in the bin folder within the DOD folder shown above

Move the HPB_Bot2.dll into the bin folder next to the dod folder... Thats the correct location....

The bot_mods.ini looks ok to me...

Oh, and don't worry about the slash thing, it's backwards in the console messege, i noticed that to when I first installed... heh heh...

I can't answer your question about multiple rented servers, tho , thats a bit over my head, ...

btw, welcome to the RCbot forum...

[edit] I see something else too, "VAC secure mode activated". rcbot needs to be run in insecure mode. add -insecure to your launch options or shortcut.

[edit2] I don't think this is your problem yet, but to clarify what cheeseh is saying in #3 , dedi's won't execute the rcbot_runplayer_cmd in time from the rcbot config.ini, it must be done manually before adding bots, or I assume thru a server cfg file perhaps. See this topic if you have crashes when adding bots or when players join your server... It's also a SteamCMD topic...

Thanks Max. I tried your suggestion. I didnt get any further. Here is the result...
