Bots for ToD Thread - Tour of Duty mod for Half-Life

I found the site Shrikebot wchhas BOTs for Tour of Duty still.
Download Here: Shrikebot.bots-united.com

Ok ive tried do everything to get the BOTs to work with no luck.
It was EZ to download and the installer made it simple to place it.

But I forgot i was not doing this for a listen server but for a dedicated server.
So i copied the file into my dedicatedserver/tod folder

Then i edited the cfg file so it would add 6 bots
Then I restarted server and nothing.

So then Im like wtf maybe the shrike bot folder is in wrong spot.
So i copied it and moved it into the dedicated server folder above ToD.

Still nothing.
I repeated went into the server by joining it as a player and trying a ton of commands

first I did rcon_password (password here)
Then i did rcon "addbot" and got unknown command
then i tried rcon shr "addbot"
then I tried rcon shr "addbot 1 0"

Ive tried everything I can think of and no bots.

I even tried adding them from the dedicated server console by tyyping in the commands above.

Either someone is gonna have to walk me thru this step by step or we need another server up with bots on it already.

You have done everything right so far; I tested to see if this works and it does!!!

Here we go:

1. Intall(Copy and Paste) Tod to Dedicated Server file.
2. Open Steam games list.
3. Right- click Dedicated Server.
4. Select Properties.
5. Click on Set Launch Options.
6. Enter just as you see it here--> -dll dlls\shrikebot.dll <--Just as you see it here.
7. Press OK.
8. Restart the server and watch the stats window, player numbers should increase.

Ok thanks but it ddnt work
Your duirections were crystal clear and it all went smooth.
But i got the error:

Host_Error: Couldn't Get DLL API from .\tod\dlls\shrikebot.dll!

tried to launch server twice with same results

Do you have the ToD launch options set with the same command? Because you don't want that. I believe I encountered the same problem and thats what it was.

under "My Games"
ToD I right clicked on it and under properties/set launch options and its blank, so Im assuming its not set the same.

Maybe its cause i have a shrike bot folder in both the dedicated server folder and the dedicated server/tod folder could that be it.
Which folder should shrike bot be in?

also what commands can i use to launch the bots from the deciated Server console window
does my dedicated server console window activate under the same rcon as my in game rcon to the server?

Er...actually, try setting the launch option with the same command in ToD. See what happens. I think it is ok that shrikebot is in both folders, when I did the test last night, that is how it was.

Here are the dedicated server commands:

Xs4all.nl

I'm not sure, I know very little about how to run a server. I have launched one, found it, added bots to it, but cannot join. The server information shows the ping rise dramatically when I try. Prob because I don't have a super high performance pc or its a security issue or something.

Thanks I saw those commands and none of them work, well lol not for me.
But I still dont understand if you type those commands from joining a server and dropping down your console or if you use those commands from your servers console window. I tried both ways and nothing worked lol.

] shr "addbots"
] rcon shr "addbot 1 0"

I tried both of those from the dedicated server console window and nothing

Try here:

Yeah that doesnt help its just a hl server update, but im pretty sure steam now updates that automatically.
besides the server is working fine.
I played in it.
I just cant get the bots to work.

Now im not sure ifit matters since we went to 1.3 and I dont think BOTS ever got waypoints for that.
