WC3FT with zbot

eM-Viper · Post by **eM-Viper** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 7:42 pm

I am working on getting a good bot working with my dedicated server WC3 works just fine without the bots, but when i have it load the mpold.dll (the zbot file) this is the error that comes up for the wc3 plugin.
[ 35] unknown unknown unknown warcraft3ft.amx bad load
Load fails: Plugin uses an unknown function (name "Item_Set_Helm") - check your
modules.ini. (plugin "warcraft3ft.amxx")

(gensu is going to hate me soon and ban me from the forums, i will find all sorts of bugs and incompatabilities. Its what i do for work, test stuff, break it, report the problem, but i dont know how to fix it ^.^)

that means the war3ft module isn't running.

Type amxx modules and post what it says.

ok now that is just WEIRD. B/c that function is in the war3ft module.

I would need access to your server to try to debug it :/

What you are looking for is Metamod's config.ini

I was trying but i just couldnt get it to run it, and there is no way that i know of to test to see if it even attempted to load other then bot_add

in the configs ini i have tried

gamedll dlls/mpold.dll

mm_gamedll dlls/mpold.dll

localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/mpold.dll

that dll is located in cstrike/dlls

any thoughts as to y it doesnt load?

Post by **Geesu** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:48 am

what is mpold.dll? You need to list the dir to the bot dll.

like

zbot/dlls/zbot.dll

eM-Viper · Post by **eM-Viper** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:58 am

mpold.dll is the zbot dll (there are other files but i am assuming they are being called by that dll file)

Post by **Geesu** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 8:43 am

then do

dlls/mpold.dll

eM-Viper · Post by **eM-Viper** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 9:00 am

i just gave that a roll

didnt do the trick

I dont know if this info is helpfull but the zbot is actualy the bots for CS:S that have been ported to 1.6.

Actually zBot is Counter-Strike: Condition Zero bot system.

As I understand it's usage in Counter-Strike isn't sanctioned by Valve, and the copies around are ripped from CS:CZ (unless Valve itself decided to release it for CS, but if so I have no knowledge of it).

Normally the dll is called zbot.dll, so I find strange the mpold.dll name you try to load.

Finally if you want bots in CS and don't have a mandatory reason to use zBot in particular, try PODBot it works with CS and CS:CZ and I assure you it works flawless with Warcraft 3 FT.

Read the section Extra non-required files of Links to all the files you need to install Warcraft 3 FT MOD for pointers to downloads and instructions.

allright, i will give pod bot another try, i was able to get them to work and everything, chose races and skills, however i ran into a slight problem, the wouldnt move, they would get guns, and mybe, just maybe jump up and down and on a server with 32v32 bots, i managed to get (rarly) for the enemy to fire 1 shot lol. so i will give it another go, and post an update on if it worked or not.

edit* thanks for correcting me on the zbot oragins

This behaviour resembles a non-existent, incorrect version or broken waypoint.

Make sure you install the waypoints for the maps on your server (check map version also).

For best results always prefer biohazerd87, SoUlFaThEr or >BKA< T Wrecks waypoints they are very high quality and are the most respected waypointers out there.

for zbot maybe this will work

I don't have time to write a perfect installguide, but this is the most important one to get it to work.

1) Have your liblist.gam pointing at metamod.dll as usual.

2) Add this in you commandline for your server.

Code: Select all

+localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/zbotcz.dll

zbotcz.dll must be in cstrike/dlls/

I rember reading that, but i didnt try it cause i cant edit the comand line from my dedicated server. but i gave it a try at home and i still get the same error

Load fails: Plugin uses an unknown function (name "Item_Set_Helm") - check your
modules.ini. (plugin "warcraft3ft.amxx")

thanks for lookin.

cool man, i am getting pod bots to work, unfortunatly it seems like they dont chose race like the broken version did lol

eM-Viper · Post by **eM-Viper** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 8:32 pm

scratch that, some chose races, works for me ^.^ thanks guys for all the help, now all i need to do is get the max_bots variable to realy work, cause when ppl join the bots leave, but when ppl leave the bots never come back :/. if u have an answer to this cool, but i will be hitting the bot forums ^.^ thanks for everything guys

nightscream · Post by **nightscream** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 11:34 am

maybe look in podbot.cfg and see if you have

Code: Select all

min_bots <number>
max_bots <number>

because else if max bots = 0 no bot will rejoin

I could reply you there, but since you asked here first... Only on a map change it will retry to add the missing bots, you can add several "pb addbot" commands to your server.cfg file (enough to fill the server up to the "max_bots" value, to make sure of this - it won't add pass this value, so there is no problem in having extra "pb addbot" entries).
