2 Questions: dedicated Serverstart = no bots & rcbot2meta.dll (481) Options

[darkranger]

Hello!

1st:
After Serverstart no bots will enter!
bots_quota is set correctly:
Humans "0" => Bots "2"

When i connect to the server and leave immediately bots will stay on server also after a map change?
What did i wrong? "rcbotd addbot" does nothing on my dedicated server!


2nd:
I wanted to update my server to Version 481 !
But when i replace the DLL(only the DLL) it says could not find bot_mods.ini
When i go back to the 473 DLL all runs fine.

these version i am running:
"rcbot_ver" = "TF2/HL2DM/DOD:S 1.00 META Win32 473 (BUILD Oct 15 2015-21:23:29)"

Thanks for helping!

Not sure about the 1st question, so I'll try the 2nd... I think Nightcores and Cheesehs quota systems are different tho...?

Sounds like it can't locate the rcbot2 folder. Yeah, I know, it does not make sence if you are just dropping in a different dll. If you have not done so, you will need to update the hookinfo.ini, I think it may cause that message too? I'd also double check the rcbot2.vdf...

Here is Nightcores default rcbot2.vdf:

CODE

"Metamod Plugin"
{
    "alias"            "rcbot2"
    "file"            "addons/rcbot2/bin/RCBot2Meta"
    "rcbot2path"        "addons/rcbot2/"
}

Here is the rcbot2.vdf I use with Cheesehs version on a listen server:

CODE

"Metamod Plugin"
{
"alias" "RCBot2"
"file" "addons/rcbot2meta"
"rcbot2path" "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\rcbot2"
}

You can use the full path for the rcbot2path if you need to. That may help...?

I do want to caution you, on listen server I have not been able to get a stable nightly build for dods (Cheesehs). I just tried the v1.01 Dec 481 build and I still get random crashes, v1.0 is stable for me and does not crash. Maybe dedicated will be different?

Hey genmac, can you confirm any random crashes on Cheesehs Dec nightly build, on dods. You should see it within a couple 20 min rounds on dod_anzio. I've been running 15 or 16 bots depending on if I was playing or spectateing, all classes.

So far no crashes for me..but I will test it again...my little kid love this game so he can play test it for me for hours.

Ok play tested it, Dec 19 compile....it was stable until on the 4th map change, freezes until it ctd at around 15-20 min sof gameplay.

so will re-test the...rcbot_ver TF2HL2DMDODS 1.01 META win32 481 (BUILD Nov 21 2015-085907)...for stability.

Just saw your edit... Well I tried both those builds, and I have only managed to get through one 20 minute round. My PC is low end and I only have 1.5 gb of system RAM on winXP, so I'm guessing there is a memory leak, I think I may be running out of memory when it crashes. You likely have more system RAM (I think everyone does by now, LOL), so it may take longer for it to crash???

btw, what version of mmsource have you been using, I could try that... Oh, and I crash straight to the desktop, maybe a brief freeze then crash...
