NOTE: This Install procedure is primarily written for podbot, but many other metamod plugins work the same so can be used similarly. plugin.dll should be of the form "plugin_mm.dll" and resides normally in directory as follows. |
I. Important directories of CS1.5 C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cstrike (Counter-Strike Half Life MOD version) C:\SIERRA\Counter-Strike\cstrike (Counter-Strike retail) In both cases there should be a folder in cstrike called 'addons'. If not - just make a new one. |
II. Important directories of CS1.6 Steam Install Steam (need help - go see the steam website). When You have steam installed, it's time to put the other pieces. Our working directory where everything will happen is: c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike or a similar directory depending on where you installed. Also in this case (CS1.6) there should be a folder in cstrike called 'addons'. If not - the advice like above. |
III. Important directories of CZERO Steam After installing steam, Your directories You need take a look at are: C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\czero (CZERO Half Life MOD version) C:\SIERRA\Counter-Strike\czero (CZERO retail) and also in this case You need to have 'addons' folder placed now in 'czero'. |
IV. Installing PODBot in correct place When one of 3 above game types You have already installed and You have already 'addons' folder placed in correct place (inside 'cstrike' folder for CS1.5 or CS1.6; inside 'czero' folder for CZERO), You need to create 2 folder inside 'addons': metamod and podbot For example for CS1.6 (but for CZERO and CS1.5 it's similar) they should be placed so: c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike\addons\metamod c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike\addons\podbot Inside 'metamod' directory create a folder called 'dlls'Example for CS1.6: c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls The directories are ready now to be filled by some files.The first step is to edit your liblist.gam this is found in the 'cstrike' ('czero') directory. c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\czero Make a copy of it and rename this copy to 'csold.gam' Then open up 'liblist.gam' file using any text editor and change the following line: a) for windows users: gamedll "dlls\mp.dll" to gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll" b) linux 32bit users: gamedll_linux "dlls\mp.dll" to gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so" c) linux amd 64 bit users: gamedll_linux "dlls\mp.dll" to gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_amd64.so" then save it. Extract the podbot and metamod files into some temporary directory like so: c:\temp\podbot c:\temp\metamod Now go into the metamod folder and find the metamod.dll - copy\drag\cut n paste it to the following folder (example for CS1.6) c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls Now go to the temp folder 'podbot' and copy all contest of it (with all subdirectories) to the steam 'podbot' folder (this one below): c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike\addons\podbot Now go to c:\steam\steamApps\your@mail\counter-strike\cstrike\addons\metamod create a file called plugins.ini. Just use notepad and go 'save as', save as type = all files, file name = plugins.ini (make sure You write is as plugins.ini - check if there is not some hidden extension txt like plugins.ini.txt - Windows by default hides some extensions of the most known file types). This plugins.ini file should be placed in 'metamod' directory (not in 'metamod\dlls'). In this file place the following line a) for Windows: win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll b) for Linux (32bit): linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so c) for Linux (AMD64bit): linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_amd64.so Create a Game with a map that has waypoints for POD-Bot (take a look into the .../addons/podbot/wptdefault folder - all files with the extension ".pwf" should be valid waypoint files. NOTE: We advise you to delete any previous .pxp files (bots experience files) that you may have used with former versions of this bot. You don't need to do this if You already used some podbot2.6mm version before (some podbot_mm.dll created after 26.04.2004). Since the bot now supports the new CS 1.6 weapons, you MUST use the included bot_weapons.cfg file which takes them into account. If you attempt to use an older weapon configuration file from POD-bot 2.5 or 2.6 (but not 2.6mm) or some old ".pxp" files the bot will crash!!!Bots will automatically be added to the game using the podbot.cfg file found in the .../addons/podbot directory. If you wish to change the number of bots that are created automatically you can edit the podbot.cfg file using any text editor. Done. Metamod and podbot should be ready to work.Now you're ready to play! |
V. Uninstalling PodBot from your system: Rename the file 'csold.gam' (You should've to create it before from the original 'liblist.gam' file - see above) to 'liblist.gam' in your cstrike (czero) Game Folder to have a full working CS (CZERO) again without metamod or delete one of these lines in plugins.ini file (in metamod directory) - depanding of the system You have: win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_amd64.so if You still want to use some other metamod plugins. Then simply delete the podbot folder in cstrike/addons directory (if You don't wish to use it any more). |
