Hi linux_dedicated,

I'm a windoz guy, so I hope this is accurate? I think it is...

For dods, you will need the latest build of rcbot2, which isn't available for linux yet. However, a new member (Ted) & Cheeseh are working on it. See these threads for some background:

Not exactly, I'm sure once there is a working linux .71 (dods) build, some updated instructions will follow. There are older linux/rcbot2 instructions on the site for hl2dm/tf2 etc, some of which still applies, but you gota dig for them... and that won't do you much good until a working rcbot2 .so is available for dods.

The instructions for windows changed some with Cheeseh's new method (rcbot_runplayer_cmd) to keep the bot from breaking with steam/source updates. I'm sure it will apply to linux too. See here for the new RCbot2 instructions for windows. Dedicated/manual instructions are included with the bot (windows)...

try this makeshift .SO for now.

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/downloads/HPB_bot2_i486.so.tar.gz

remember all rcbot2 files are not in that zip (you need to get them from the windows zip)

rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods must be 415 for < Mar 28 srcds
I'm not sure about rcbot_runplayer_cmd_tf2

For some reason its not working well for me...




And then this is my bot_mods.ini




Uh...something I am doing wrong?

Hi MrTrip,

Welcome to rcbot forums.. Looking at the console info, I believe the problem is in the bot_mods.ini.

I don't have a dedi or linux install so i'm kinda guessing. so if you don't have an orangebox folder, then what you have there won't work..

Try something like this:

mod = DOD
steamdir = day of defeat source
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD

or

mod = DOD
steamdir = dods
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD


It depends on where you installed it. The steamdir is the folder where the bin folder is at that contains the hpb_bot2.dll...

If you do have it installed in orangebox, the console shows the steamdir & gamedir being reversed??

try reversing gamedir and steamdir cos i know there was a bug in earlier versions. but remember that the new version is fixed, but as it is linux it can.only be one version ... just remember to edit the bot mods ini file in your home/(user)/rcbot2 folder/config ..

I may have a deeper issue I guess.... my server doesn't even show up in the list of servers, and I can't connect to it. Wheeeee....... since when did srcds become such a slut to setup?

hi everyone

i have a dedicated Linux Server (Debian) installed to figure out how to get this Bots installed.
So far the Plugin is running, but i cant add bots. Every time i try to add bots the Server restarts...

This is in my Logfile:

What does this Engine error means?

could be the wrong rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods or rcbot_runplayer_cmd_tf2 value , which version of the mod are you running? The latest value is 416, older versions may be slightly higher or lower than that. The latest steampipe version?
