How do I Install?, Easiest way? Options

[DreadedGhoul575]

Hello,
I want to download this mod, but I ain't sure on how to install it; the installation is only for half-life and day of defeat: source.

Does anyone know how to install it? (Just hope it's easy lol)
Thanks,
P.S What do these bots feature?

Well the easiest way is to use the installer and launcher . The latest version with the installer is 0.96. Get it from the first post here: http://rcbot.bots-united.com/
See the changelogs for features...

Unzip it to a temp folder and run the installer, it will place a launcher shortcut on your desktop. The installer will try to locate your steam folder, be sure it is correct. The launcher needs a couple things set and saved (save config button), like adding bots on first tab will add bots for you (i.e. minimum 1 and maximum 15), don't worry about customizing bot settings until you have them working. You need to select the mod and check add bots automatically each time you launch and exit with the launcher.

That's probably all dod:s & hl2:dm needs to get it working with the launcher. TF2 needs a bit more... Go to the general tab under Hooking Method and set the TF2 offset to 418. I have Hook Once checked, toggle it the other way if you have any intermittent crashes. There are also 3 more offsets for TF2 now, because of steam updates to TF2. I don't think the installer adds them, so you will need to add them to the extras tab (& save it) or directly to the config.ini for rcbot2. See this topic about the TF2 offsets:

Currently, the launcher is not compatible with the RCbot2 metamod:source version for TF2. There is a topic for that, but i'd suggest get this working first, then convert over to that only if you want those features... I don't have TF2, so can't really help with that... Metamod:s version is manual install, not as easy, and beta....

For metamod:s versions see this:

Does this work offline? Without sourcemod, metamod and stuff? Someone told me on steam that I have to buy a server for this and I thought that's a bit much tbh.
