I would try to spread the latest SVN revisions Cheeseh in Post 1

These aren't really releases and more like leaked release candidates I make only SVN revisions, not releases. But also they arent really worthy of a release yet. Many new features won't work without correct waypoints and scripts which I haven't released.

Corrected the posts. The server does not crash and the old waypoint of work. This is good!!!

Loaded up 109 into my Linux/CentOS TF2 server.
Bots load, but just stand in the respawn and never move.

PS: The map I'm running is ctf_mach4, and I have the waypoint files in the "tf" folder.

bot_mods.ini
mod = TF2
steamdir = orangebox
gamedir = tf
bot = TF2

folders:
hl2
orangebox
rcbot2

Hacked the bot_mods.ini file already, as specified.
Not quite sure I understand what you're saying in this part:



My folder structure is ...

/games
/games/sourceds
/games/sourceds/hl2 (etc.)
/games/sourceds/orangebox <-- srcds_run is here (for TF2 and Orange-Box games)
/games/sourceds/orangebox/tf <-- waypoint files copied here, should they be somewhere else?
/games/sourceds/orangebox/tf/bin (etc.)
/games/sourceds/rcbot2
/games/sourceds/rcbot2/config
/games/sourceds/rcbot2/profiles (etc.)

PS: Thanks for the assist(s)!

This relative location of the folder RCBot2 it should be a folder waypoint


no
/games/sourceds/rcbot2/waypoint/ <-- waypoint files copied here

Ok, I'll try that. Not sure where I read about putting them under TF folder.

Is that: /games/sourceds/rcbot2/waypoint/ ?
or should it be: /games/sourceds/rcbot2/waypoints/ ?

/games/sourceds/rcbot2/waypoints/

Thanks again for follow-up!
But, still no luck - same symptoms (bots don't leave respawn's).

sorry. does not awake yet

/games/sourceds/rcbot2/waypoints/orangebox/tf <-- waypoint files copied here

Hey, no problem man, thanks for the help.
I see your revised notes and new compile at the top of the thread.
I'll try them some time this weekend and let you know.

Thanks again!

Loaded-up the SVN 110 build and move files to specified folders, and it works like a charm!
RCBot2 for TF2 under Linux - woo hoo!

Hi,

i ve got the following problem when starting my server:

/opt/steam/orangebox# ./srcds_run +plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2 -debug

Mi 29. Jul 10:04:53 CEST 2009: Server Quit

Without the plugin the servers starts without any problems.

This is the content of the debug.log:

CRASH: Mi 29. Jul 10:04:53 CEST 2009

End of Source crash report


Ive installed the server with the rcbot2 package from http://filebase.bots-united.com/index.php?...view&id=450 and your SVN 110 build.

The folder structure is the same as yours.
But the script folder is empty, is that okay? Im running ctf_2fort.

My OS is Ubuntu 9.0.4

Could you please help me ?

Sorry for my bad english....

Try a simple string of launch:
./srcds_run -game tf -console +map ctf_2fort +plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2 -debug

Try load SVN 111 build

I Load the linux file (HPB_bot2_i486.so ) into ../orangebox/bin and move files to specified folders,
and will start with +plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2 but this dont work ! Unable to find ..... !
I Just Type +plugin_load bin/HPB_bot2_i486.so and it start !!
RCBot2 for TF2 under Linux Dedicated Server works !!!!

Special Thanks @ bir3yk !

Greets Roachman

I just registered to say THANKS! This is exactly the information I was looking for!

And thank you

Latest source updated:

although if you need to compile, make these changes to your hl2 sdk,
http://hg.alliedmods.net/hl2sdks/hl2sdk-ob-valve/

Will some kind stranger be recompiling the linux binary for the .54 update?

Please

can someone please compile a linux RCBot2 0.546 beta

Thanks

I've been asking the same question for awhile now guys, don't think anyone can be arsed to help.

Hi, try to do these days.

your the one who been make it work for linux?

Haha I love bir3yk! I think I gave him the nudge to check into the forums after talking on IRC patching my TF2 server

Here's to a great guy! Good luck!

bir3yk , if you use any kind of linux makefile you used to compile, could you share it with the community? Thanks

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NOVOYUA6 136 svn

I no testing.

I can confirm this works fine.

You're my Hero bir3yk!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XS5CUBZH 141 svn

141 is the latest unreleased version (beta) with the new spy/engi/sniper updates

Cheeseh referred me to this thread for help...

Should I be using the latest version of the file in this thread ALONG with the below version of RCBot?

From the main page Here
I click on "Files", and under "Linux Files" I think I am supposed to use this:
-----------------------------------------
RCBot 1.3 RELEASE

English Version 1.3

WINDOWS (standalone + metamod)
&
LINUX (standalone)

This comes with metamod support and mod support for : Natural-Selection 2 & 3, SvenCoop 2.1/3.0, BumperCars 1.5+, Deathmatch Classic, Rocket Crowbar 2, HLDM, Battlegrounds.

This also includes the windows & linux DLLs for stand-alone or metamod installation.
------------------------------------------
Which ultimately takes me to this:
RCBot Version 1.3 **supports linux*

Is that the version I should be using??
Thanks again for your help!

Assuming that is the right version......

I think I understand everything except step #3. How do I start (load the plugin) on a rented server?

3. Add
./srcds_run ..............[b]+plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2 (Where do I do this on a rented server? Using server.cfg or something? I know this is a highly noob question probably, I admit it!)

rcbot 1.3 is for Half-life 1

if using linux use this .so file on this thread for HL2

LOL Okay thanks!


So I should use RCBot2_0546beta4 + the latest version of the file in this thread, Correct?

I have downloaded RCbot2_0546beta, and inside it has rcbot2 directory and a HPB_Bot2.dll.

I am not using the HPB_Bot2.dll right? That is for windows installations, and the file in this thread is the one I use in replace of that for Linux?

The rcbot2 folder goes beside my orange box folder correct? (Keep in mind this is a rented linux server)

When I FTP into my server I have the following directory tree:

hl2/
orangebox/ - inside of this dir i have bin, hl2, tf -inside of that tf is my installation, sourcemod, metamod etc
tf/

Given the above directory tree, rcbot2 folder is supposed to be beside my orangebox folder or am I wrong?

Thanks again for helping and your patience with noobs Cheeseh

yeas use the .SO file here!

use biry3k's instructions:

1. Folder Structure :
.../hl2
.../orangebox <-- srcds_run is here (for TF2 and Orange-Box games)
.../orangebox/bin <-- HPB_bot2_i486.so files copied here
.../rcbot2/
.../rcbot2/config/
.../rcbot2/profiles/
.../rcbot2/waypoints/
.../rcbot2/waypoints/orangebox/tf/ <-- waypoint and scripts files copied here
.../steam
2. Edit .../rcbot2/config/bot_mods.ini , add this:
mod = TF2
steamdir = orangebox
gamedir = tf
bot = TF2
3. Add
./srcds_run ..............+plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2

3. Add
./srcds_run ..............+plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2

Where do I add that line??? This is a rented server, I have no experience (or access to the startup line in srcds)???
