rcbot dosent work with sc 4.8, Please read desc. Options

[dufas3]

so i installed rcbots, used 4.8 rcbot_mm.dll and it dosent work, when you write rcbot addbot in console and press enter, it immediatly crashes, strangest part is , it works perfectly with 4.7 and other dlls, but not 4.8 :/

i use steam edition and sven coop version is 4.8

help?

Hi dufas3,

This is the dll I recommend for sc4.8:

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/downloads/rcb...rapple_upd2.zip

It is the latest, and bots can use the barnacle gun if there are grapple waypoints in the rcw... Yeah, the files page on the main website is out of date for Svencoop, there are several verions of dll's, and the 4.7 dll's won't work for sc4.8.... This should get you going... have fun...

[Edit] Get the updated RCbot 4.8 installer for sc4.8, and instructions here:

dosent work, immediatly crashes when i write rcbot addbot command

4.7 neither 4.8 works, :/
4.7 dll crashes after few sec of bot spawning
4.8 crashes instantly

[madmax2]

I just re-checked my install, and sc4.8 with that rcbot_mm dll still works fine, but I haven't been online steam since june 6th. I'm using rcbot to play singleplayer on a listen server/LAN, no clients are connecting to me. Is that what you are trying to do?

It still sounds like a mismatch between mod & rcbot versions? Are you running more than one svencoop version in steam? When I switch verions, I completely move the whole svencoop folder, so there is only one svencoop version at a time in steam. Did you remove all traces of sc4.7 before installing sc4.8, or did you install over the top? That might cause this problem?

Is this your first time installing rcbots? The liblist.gam file loads the metamod.dll, and the plugins.ini in the metamod folder loads the rcbot_mm.dll. Be sure you are using metamod-p, not metamod.

I'm a little confused, in your first post it sounds like you had rcbots working on sc4.7 without crashing, but the 2nd post seems to say the opposite?

The rcbot_mm dll for sc4.7 will crash on sc4.8, and vice-versa, the rcbot_mm 4.8 dll will crash on sc4.7. Both shortly after bots are added on most maps, but some maps will run longer before the crash. Crystal was an almost immediate crash, and as I recall intruder may run as long as 5 minutes, this was running the rcbot 4.7 dll in sc4.8.

Before adding bots, you can check the console for rcbot & metamod versions. My metamod is v1.21p37 & rcbot_ver returns "1.5_BETA_mm_release_win32 (4.8)(Build Aug 17 2013-22:59:59)" The meta interface mismatch error message in the console is normal, has been there forever, and is not a problem. Look for any other errors...

Yeah osrry about 1st post, i just saw that bots was added fine to game with 4,7 dll but it crashes after few sec.
Anyway i had old version before but i deleted completly half-life folder and redownloaded on steam, one thing to notice, is that now, half-Life appears in common folder, not your steamname folder, maybe because of that? It isint my 1st time installing, so i know what to do, allthough, first i used regular metamod, then i tried metamod p, still same problem. I try redownload everything, but im pretty sure it wont help but i will try

You should not need to reinstall half-life again if it works ok. You might want to try another sc4.8 installer if all else fails & this is first time using this one? Just be sure half-life & svencoop start up ok & run a few minutes without bots loading, then we can assume it's not that. Looks like we have the same HL version...

I don't see the metamod banner, but it looks like metamod is loading, as well as rcbot.

I see your rcbot folder is located in a different location, so maybe it is having a problem once you try to add bots? I'm not sure this will help, I've never used that location, but I've always located my rcbot folder in the half-life folder (default) next to the mods (svencoop), and never had any problem. It actually returns an error, something like "bot folder not found, using default...". The reason for putting it there is one rcbot folder can be used for multiple mods.

Here are my folder locations:

../steamapps/common/half-life/rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll
../steamapps/common/half-life/svencoop/addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll

The only other odd thing I see in the console is the last part, I don't get the bitmap/font errors when loading the map abandoned. Be sure to run half-life once before installing svencoop, so half-life unpacks everything svencoop needs...

[dufas3]

there is metamod banner, just not included it here. also its strange, im using same location as you but in console it says its running from svencoop addons (besides metamod, theres nothing there) svencoop runs fine for me, it crashes after adding bot

Update: just to be sure, i tried copy rcbot folder to addons, same problem, crash

[dufas3]

FOUND FIX! i download wootpack bots and then used new dll and it works now!

Good, glad you got it going ... I was just looking that up, because that is what i used back on sc4.5 (the previous installer pack for sc4.5). You probably found it here at the top, w00tguy123's sc4.6 installer...

http://forums.svencoop.com/showthread.php/39937-RcBot-4-6

Hmmm, I'll have to look at that again, but I think the only difference between that and the filebase files is, the newer waypoints and the bot_config.ini, and I didn't think those older settings would cause a crash?

It looked like you had two DLLS of rcbot running. If you checked the metamod plugins ini there should only have been one line for rcbot

Yeah it is strange, it has appeared to load twice for for a long time now, mine does it too , but I can't figure why it would be doing that. It still works okay, so I thought it was normal, maybe a false double message from the HL engine side??? The plugin only attaches once...
