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!

See my edit2 above, but i don't think thats the problem U are having now. Have U tried loading the rcbot plugin from a rcbot2.vdf? Instead of plugin_load


This is how to do it from vdf (it's linux, but its the same)....

But don't do both plugin_load and this, it will load the bot twice & fail....

What is the current path you have to the HPB_Bot2.dll ?

I still end up with this...

CODE

Game.dll loaded for "Day of Defeat"

[BOT ERROR] Mod not found. Please edit the bot_mods.ini in the bot config folder

steamdir = DODServer
gamedir = dod
Failed to load plugin "..\bin\HPB_Bot2.dll"
maxplayers set to 32

My server paths are currently as follows,

HPB_bot2.dll is located.....D:\DODServer\bin\HPB_bot2.dll

RCBot folder is located....D:\DODServer\dod\rcbot2 (I have also tried it at D:\DODServer\rcbot2)

Waypoints are located....D:\DODServer\dod\rcbot2\waypoints\dod

My bot_mods.ini file reads...

mod = DOD
steamdir = DODServer
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD

Im still not having luck. Thanks for anything you come up with.
