how to install rcbot, for slow people Options

[maverick-zero]

its easy just do this [it may have some dumb steps ]

1 unzip rcbot to half-life so its like this:
<Half-life dir>\rcbot\

2 then edit the liblist.gam in the MOD folder with notepad or something
I.E.

gamedll "dlls\rcbot.dll" <for standalone dll in windows>
gamedll_linux "dlls\rcbot_i486.so" <for standalone dll in linux>

--
for using metamod the liblist.gam should stay like:

gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll" <for windows metamod>
gamedll_linux "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod_i386.so" <for linux metamod>

and change the metamod plugins.ini file in notepad or something so its like

You'll never catch me alive!!!

I put in the line like u said ..

gamedll "dlls\rcbot.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls\rcbot_i486.so"

but do I delete the old 2 lines?

also ... you say in the read me to type rcbot addbot in console but that doesn't work. And you also say you can simply bind a key to "rcbot bot_menu" and that as well does not work.

says it is an unknown command. And yes, I do know how to set binds .. I learned back in my cs days. as I recall you can't have spaces. Please fix this. Either the read me needs to be updated or email me and tell me what I am doing wrong.

I am new at NS and my friend just started up a server that he wants me to be a part of. I want to practice and thought bots would be a great idea. I have not found any that work though. Infact, in all my searches I have only come across meantion of your bots. So please, email me if you can and tell me pelase

delete the two OLD lines

this is in the faq under your question

[Sandman[SA]]

You know, you do get the option to select your servers operating system platform. Delete the lines that do not apply.

Examples:

Windows = gamedll "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot.dll"
Linux = gamedll_linux "../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_i486.so"


And as noted in other posts, you can't run more then one gamedll for the same operating system from the liblist.gam, this is what metamod is for. So if you have gamedll "dlls\ns.dll" still in your liblist.gam, no other add-ons will run.

1. Choosing the directory

Unzip the "rcbot" folder to:
C:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.com\half-life

The directory will look like:
C:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.com\half-life\rcbot

2. Editing liblist.gam file

Open your mod's folder and open the "liblist.gam" file in notepad:
C:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.com\half-life\MODNAME\liblist.gam

Look for a part similar to:
gamedll "dlls\ns.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so"

REPLACE THIS WITH:
gamedll "dlls\rcbot.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls\rcbot_i486.so"

======================================
I don't get this guide, those two lines suggest that i have modname\dlls\rcbot.dll, which i don't.

And why would I delete the "gamedll "dlls\modname.dll" line, wouldn't that fuck up m entire game??

I recommend someone writes some kind of PROPER walkthrough. Instead of saying "install to your hl directory" just bloody SHOW us where e.g.:
C:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.com\half-life\rcbot

Clearing up:

You CANNOT have TWO or more gamedll or gamedll_linux lines (you CAN have ONE gamedll and ONE gamedll_linux lines)

still having trouble..? TRY this:

(the botinstall file)

Make sure all the metamod plugins.ini and liblist file are as they were before 'installing' the bot

it cant find my ns thingy
as im running Counter-Strike Retail not Half-Life

[Sandman[SA]]

As of to-date, no one seems to know how to make this work for owners of counter_strike and day-of-defeat retail versions because of the abnormal directory structures with them.

Maybe if we had a little more detailed information on CS and DOD retail versions directory structure, we could finally figure this out.

Use your CD key to enable a steam acct and use steam's HLDS to host a server

Or just go download the HLDS front end thing from steampowered.com and use that... You don't need a CD key to create a dedicated server


You know everyones gonna have to go steam sooner or later, it's not half as bad as it used to be, but it's still aggrivating
