Install folders on TF2 dedicated server, (HLDSUpdateTool installed) Options

[Weasel]

I'm trying to setup the Alpha test on my TF2 server.
Please forgive me, I'm a little confused about the paths.

My dedicated server is installed via HLDSUpdateTool.
Consequently, there is no "steamapps" or any such folder on my server.

Base folder is:

CODE

C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf

So, do I do this:

• Put "rcbot2" folder like this: C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf\rcbot2
• Put HPB_Bot2.dll into C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf\bin

Does that sound right?

Can I put rcbot2 under C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf\addons? or must it be directly under the TF base folder?

i decided to give her another try last night, heres what worked...

Step one!
x:\<pathtobasefolder>\ is wherever your orangebox folder is.

mine is
c:\servers\hl2server\
yours may be
c:\program files\steam\half-life2\
or even something like
d:\steam\dedicatedservers\hl2

wherever the orangebox folder in the dedicated server install is

put the rcbot2 folder there. not in the orangebox folder, but in the same folder that the orange box folder is.

so you should end up with something that looks like this:




Step two!
open up the rcbot2 folder, and move or copy the files in

x:\<pathtobasefolder>\rcbot2\waypoints\team fortress 2\tf\

to

x:\<pathtobasefolder>\rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf\



Step three!
now, drop HPB_bot2.dll in

x:\<pathtobasefolder>\orangebox\bin\



Step four!
start up tf2 with a command like

x:\<pathtobasefolder>\orangebox\srcds -game tf -console +map ctf_2fort +plugin_load "..\bin\HPB_bot2"


if you see the rcbot licence scroll by, youve done it correctly. type rcbotd to see the list of commands you can use. if you don't see it scroll by, youve done something wrong. go back up to the top and start over.
