That's just the HL.exe saying that it can't find a dll file you made it call for. Usually caused by misplacing the metamod.dll ( or other addon dlls ) or incorrect spelling in your liblist.gam file.

What have you done so far to install rcbot?

Have you read this?...

I don't really think there is anything wrong with your game. It's most likely some tiny detail you may have over looked.

I agree with Sandman. Copy and paste your liblist.gam and metamod plugin.ini here so we can have a peep for any missed errors? ph34r.gif

You might try disabling whichbot for the time being... for some reason it caused a horrendous amount of crashes on my server when I enabled it a few days ago.. talkin' like 48 inside of 2 hours, instead of 1 every 72 hours blink.gif mad.gif then see if it'll work.

If not, try re-enabling whichbot, and disable rcbot, and if it STILL messes up, go get the latest version of metamod, and make sure all the stuff you have is the latest and greatest.

Skitchy, I don't think whichbot is his cause either. Note his first post:

I'm with chesseh, that looks like a metamod not found error. Spitfire3297, check the location of the metamod.dll. It should be found here....

I believe this is what your edited liblist.gam file is looking for but can't find.
