[cerberus416]

Any Help would be appreciated. RCbot will still work on Day of Defeat Source
Whenever i load up Team Fortress 2, even when it's in Insecure mode I got this from console:

I suspect it was the latest TF2 update that cause this problem.

Same problem definitely caused by the latest update we just have to wait for cheesh

I assume that you are using the native rcbot plugin.

However, Cheeseh is currently not updating the native plugin. He is currently developing the metamod plugin.
I also used the source code of his metamod plugin for my rcbot version, and it is working fine.

I've downloaded and installed the latest TF2 server and the latest metamod snapshot from here:
http://www.metamodsource.net/snapshots

My plugin (Link) is working fine (only tested for Windows at the moment, but I'm sure Linux will also work with the latest snapshot).
If you want to use the latest plugin from Cheeseh, use this link:
http://sourceforge.net/p/rcbot2/code/HEAD/tree/utils/RCBot2_meta/Debug/rcbot2meta.dll?format=raw

But you also need metamod for this.

Thanks alot ill try it out soon

[Nightc0re]

Thanks alot ill try it out soon

EDIT: retarded question but where do i put the file and how do i get this working?

You can put this file anywhere, I usually put it in the "addons" folder, together with the other metamod plugins.
Afterwards you can load the plugin using "meta load", or you can use a "*.vdf" file.
This file contains the path to a metamod plugin. If the path is correct, the plugin will load automatically.

A folder structure and a ready-to-use *.vdf file, can be found in my thread here.
You can use my metamod plugin, or use the metamod plugin from Cheeseh, but make sure the file name is correctly spelled in the *.vdf file.

And don't forget to use the latest metamod source snapshot, because the current release 1.10.5 does not work.
Best regards

The Steam-IDs used in rcbot are different for TF2.

CODE

"STEAM_0:0:XXXXXX" => HL2, DOD:S
"[U:1:XXXXXX]" => TF2

RCBot is using a simple string comparison to check the user rights.
So you have to enter the corresponding Steam-ID (or both) to your config.

@Changelog:
There is a changelog in my first post here.
The general changelog for rcbot can be found here.

Btw i have found a weird bug that makes it unable for rcbots to create an rcb file

I was not touching the source code for waypoints. So this is probably a problem of rcbot itself.
You can describe the bug or even upload some log files (during debug mode) and maybe Cheeseh will look into it.

The RCbot metamod worked. Thanks for the help

Well just 15 mins ago both my DODS servers updated and now I get something a bit like the post above. And no I am not running the latest version . I am running .74R2 as this is the only version that is stable under a 24/7 server. But like above the bots will not load . running the latest sourcemod and metamod .

It looks like, they have also updated DOD:S, which means, that none of the native rcbot plugins are working (at the moment).
And your version ".74R2" will never ever work again with the newest dedicated servers, unless somebody is compiling this version with new server interface.

However, the metamod plugin from Cheeseh is working fine. (For TF2, not tested with DOD:S)
But you have to upgrade metamod source to the latest snapshot.

I'm using 1.11.0-git990 from the snapshots.
https://www.metamodsource.net/snapshots

I cannot maintain the native plugins, because I don't have a clue about the server interfaces.
And Chesseh is currently updating the metamod plugins.

I'm afraid that using metamod is the only option at the moment, if you want to use the latest dedicated servers.

The latest Source Engine update fixed a major security breach, it's better for plugins to break than getting screwed by the exploit that happened (It was really bad). Hopefully Cheeseh will push an update for RCBots soon.

[genmac]

Yeah some users lost all their games bec. of that source game exploit.

For those new to metamod source I say your fun to source games have just been extended coz I can't live without all my metamod and sourcemod plugins running.

Thanks for the info. I used the native plugins once, until I saw there is a newer metamod version

I can confirm that

Well I would love to just use the newest version ,and did for a week. The bots play so much better . It would still crash the server at least 3 or 4 times a day. NightC0re while you was testing did you create a server and leave it up for others to join for more than a few days ? Most of my crashes happen when a new player would join. Nothing in the sourcemod logs about it. You could be playing and see the message about so and so joining game and then bam the server would freeze and then restart. Two or three players was fine but anymore than that and it would go down. With .74R2 it would run for a week or better and not crash. That is the only reason I kept using it.

Thanks for the info, it seems related to this bug.

If the server is crashing,
you can add this parameters to the server command:

-console -debug -game dod +log on

It will create a debug.log with detailed information about the crash.
This would help me and Chesseh a lot.

But you will have to wait for a week or two, because I'm currently writing my master thesis, and it's getting stressful ^^

[My Time]

Ok thanks for the info on how to get a log to help out. Good luck with your schooling. Every bit helps!

[My Time]

I also had to change the offset from 417 to 418 to keep the server from crashing as soon as I join. Anybody else doing the same?

Yeah, the linux offsets also changed.
Seems they have updated the player classes.
