Hi Daniel,

Welcome... yeah, rented servers are tricky...

You need to post more details to get some help... Also, it may of been better to post in the RCbot2/Dedicated Server or dods or Nightcore's forum, as some members may ignor the RCbot1 forums... And I'm not the best person to answer dedi server questions, I don't have one.

What platform are you on, windows or linux? There are two rcbot2 branches now, Cheeseh's and Nightcores. Only the metamod versions will work on steam now.

I'm not sure what is working best for rented servers now, but you may want to try Nightcore's r473 or r474 (there are no other choices if you are on linux). He has good directions too (just beware the instructions are written for both listen & dedi server).

What are the symptoms? (bots join but don't move?, it crashes when bots join or before they join?, etc)

Console log? Errors? Don't forget to use rcbotd on dedi servers (rcbotd addbot, etc...)

How is your folder structure set up. What is in your rcbot2.vdf and bot_mods.ini (errors here is often the reason bots won't join). Is metamods working, type meta list, did rcbot load. What version of metamods?

Some sort of details are needed to help you...

It's also possible a recent dods update broke the bot, but usually that is not the case on dods. In September it was still working on dods, I haven't updated this month?
