Hulk,
Were you able to get the issue resolved with running Rcbot2 on your DOD:S Dedicated stand alone server. It left off with Cheeseh writing a new DLL for the plugin. What happened after that. I'm tying to setup a stand alone server with the RCBot2 plugin but have not been a able to get it running. All of my folder locations seem to be correct because I can start the plugin however when I try to add bots it say's
[RCBot] Error, no map running or not dedicated server. But I can see the server is up with a map and I can join it. It's running on insecure mode and I run the rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods 417 command afterwards. The error comes when I try to add bots using rcbotd addbot. rcbot command not recognized. Can you help?
Hi Claw99.
I don't think Hulk has been here for a while? There are others here running dedicated. As far as I know, yes it resolves issues with rented servers.

With .76 there are now 2 choices for rcbot2 dll's. The default for steampipe (HPB_Bot2.dll) with the rcbot2 folder located in the users home folder (ex: \users\[user name]\rcbot2). Or the HPB_Bot2o.dll for the old location for the rcbot2 folder, next to the mod or game folder (ex: next to the "Day of Defeat Source" folder in steamapps\common, or steamCMD or server?). For a local/LAN PC, I think either dll/location will work, but to be sure, you might want to use the HPB_Bot2o.dll...
I should mention, there was a bug in the HPB_Bot2o.dll that came with the installer, it would not work on a listenserver. Cheeseh fixed it, use the one from the filebase from the link above, they are not the same.
The profiles error in the console can be used as a clue to where the dll is looking for the rcbot2 folder and the bot_mods.ini. So that will depend on which dll you are using. For dedi servers, the bot_mods.ini needs to be set correctly, and that depends on what your folders are named.
I think most all the info you need is in this thread, or there is a link to it (crashing when players join or adding bots, the rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dod value must be entered manually, it won't work from the config.ini on dedi servers, see my post near the top of this thread).
If you still can't get it going, post a few details about your setup, what is the symptom or problem. Also, is this for a local/LAN/PC or rented, which dll you are using, path to the rcbot2 folder, the dod section of the bot_mods.ini (I think that is what you are installing?), console output errors, etc...
It may not be finding the bot_mods ini or rcbot2 folder? Which dll are you using? Post at least this info:
