FIRST: Install adminmod as usual. Make sure you liblist.gam file has this line...


gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"

NEXT: make sure ESF-Bot.dll is in your /dlls/ folder in your esf directory. Now, add this line to AUTOEXEC.CFG ...

localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/ESF-Bot.dll

now simply load your game and addbots to your hearts content.

DO NOT edit the command line in your esf shortcut. DOING THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR GAME TO FREEZE. It will freeze before the metamod display shows while loading your server.

This worked for me, If it doesn't work for you then your S.O.L., I dont wanna crash my comp any more tryin to figure it out lol. I even tested it out by adding bots then admin_kicking them from my server and it worked fine, and the server didnt crash for the time I had it up. Good luck
############ Update 3-2-03 ############

WWW.ADMINMOD.ORG <-- LOOK, HERE IS THE LINK TO DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION OF ADMIN MOD. RIGHT HERE, HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE IT.



The tutorial for admin-mod is down and will remain down. I will not
write another one. For some reason, you people just don't understand what a sticky is for, use it, don't make more threads. . With the release of 1.1, admin-mod will NOT work.

As for getting bots to work - someone managed to figure it out! Thats good news, read the last page if you want to learn how.

If you do what to learn to install Admin-Mod, Private Message Mr. Satan, he is just as knowledgable about it as I am. I don't have enough patience to deal with you people.

############ Update 1-28-03 ############

You can not run ESF-bots with admin mod. But I don't know why I considered trying this when you can not run bots on a dedicated server. I am very dissapointed to the person who asked, clearly you didn't not understand that I did not want a bunch of listen servers installing admin mod. :\ ;/

############ Update 1-24-03 ############

Meta-Mod has been updates. I don't know if this affects ESF (I know it does affect Counter-Strike.) You don't need to replace it if you use just ESF for admin-mod. But metamod has been updated. www.metamod.org to get the updated version.

############ End Update 1-24-03 ############

Okay guys - this thread is for those of you who will be needing help installing Admin Mod. Try to follow the tutorial before comming here.

I'll be in and out mostly - but I've done a pretty good job of stress testing admin-mod with Mastasurf and PCJoe. Hopefully I didn't forget anything in the tutorial or in the adminmodpackage. If I did you can check here for updates.

So ask away!

############ Update 1-22-03 ############

To support bots place the ESF-Bot.dll into your DLLS folder:
*default*
C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\esf\addons\adminmod\dlls\ESF-bot.dll

Once your ESF-Bot.dll is in the DLL folder, add this line to the shortcut of your ESF link.

C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -game cstrike +localinfo mm_gamedll addons\adminmod\dlls\ESF-bot.dll

[Ultraq]

ok .. cool

first question: (might be really very dumb)

do i need to download metamod first? or does it come automatically with admin mod?

another question:

i only downloaded admin mod. i read a little through the manual but it's too long i didn't read it all. but anyway. i installed admin mod and tried to test it by starting a lan server. but everytime i try to run a server it crashes and quit HL! i didn't edit any of the files (users.ini etc) so they are basically empty.. do i have to pout something in them or is it optional?

[Cookster]

I wrote a tutorial for a reason, use it.
*note* The adminpackage.zip in the tutorial doesn't link correctly... So just go to mastasurfs news post in the dev journals to find a link to it that works.

[Ultraq]

well i didn't find the tutorial. and i checked mastasurfs' journal just two days ago and there wasn't anything .. so .. sorry :p

and you didn't even say where is that tutorial!!! by the way .. so it's not completly my fault ... o_o

[Ultraq]

ok now .. a serious question:
how can i run the bots with admin mod? i was thinkning about renaming ESF-Bot.dll to hl.dll but that isn't really a smart idea, and i am not sure if it will even work.

[Cookster]

You can't run bots with admin-mod to my knowledge. At least in ESF.

[SSJ2MysticGohan]

metamod u shoudl beable to run admin mod and a bot at same time but i cant figure it out either

[Ultraq]

ok .. the password file thing in the shortcut " like C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -game esf -console -numericpings +exec adminpass.cfg"

if i use this shortcut and enter a server that uses admin mod. is there a chance that the admin of that server will know MY adminmod password?

[R@!D3R]

majin n00b why not read the Readme.txt O_O Not to hard now is it...?

[Ultraq]

R@!D3R don't play the wise-dude ...

there is nothing in readme.txt about my question :shocked: O_O :shocked:

[Cookster]

Thats is a good question Majin Noob, you have reason to worry. I recall there being some forwarning about using a shortcut, I don't think otehrs can figure out your password. But for safest bets I would suggest you do 1 of 2 things:

Option One (More reasonable): Just add in the autoexec.cfg file the setinfo pw home command. This way when you load up it just auto-enters that password.

Option Two (Can be a pain if you don't rename your self.):
Have 2 Names, eg @Cookster and Cookster, use at @Cookster when doing admin-commands and Cookster when just playing. But always remember to name your self Cookster before leaving the game, because if you manually enter the password through console, then change your name to @Cookster, then leave, and once again rejoin, you will still be @Cookster, and it will not let you join because you have not entered the password.

If that makes sense? I suggest Option One :-D.

ALSO - I highly suggest using WONID's rather than Names... Just security risks, although I HIGHLY doubt any players are willing to try and get into your admin mod while having the knowledge. Most people here can barely install the mod - and your worrying about someone hacking admin-mod?

So I guess thats my final answer, if your that worried pick an option, but really - someone stealing your password by figuring out some bug in admin mod runs around the idea of someone making hacks for ESF - it just won't happen. (But in some unlikely event that it does, I would hate to be blamed. So now that I have confused everyone... I will let you decide. O_O )
----------- EDIT -----

I also re-read your post, assuming i have it right this time:
You use that short-cut to connect to a server NOT run by you, that you DO NOT admin for, but because Admin-Mod runs on that server it scans for programs running on your PC including lines added in the short-cut and this concerns you because you think an admin of that server will use your password and gain control of your Server using your password that they found on their server?

Okay - quick time solution for EVERYTHING, USE WONIDs for admin-access. Don't use names. Just simply change the NAME to a WON ID. Works with IP's as well. If you can't get it to work go to admin-mod and look up help on it.

[Ultraq]

ok .. i will probably use WONID

but my question actually was:
when i exeute the admin pass on startup, that's all i need. meaning when i connect to my server, i don't to enter the pasword, the server auto-reads the password, because it have already been loaded. so since my server can read the password, this means any server running admin mod can also read my password :warning: and i am assuming that there is a way for the server admin to get the reading of my password (i.e. steal my password!! ) so that's what i was asking about. can he get my password? because the server auto-reads it.

....

wait a sec. something just came to my mind. the server only reads the password if he think he needs to (i.e. my name needs a pasword) but if my name does not need a password then it will never check it ..?!?!?! is that how it works?


another question now. about the bots. i noticed you edit the first post.

i put in my shortcut

+localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/ESF-Bot.dll

but like before. the game quits before the server starts!

when i remove it it runs ok! but no bots.

any clues?

[Cookster]

Alright, ESF Bots are in alpha stages remember - so I'm not sure they will work. I edited my post, look at it again - last time I had it set for POD Bot, now it should look like that for ESF-Bot.dll

I can't test it my self because I do not have ESF Bot. It probably won't work for dedicated servers, I'm almost positive of that. As for listenservers - just retry it with that line (Make sure and put the ESF-Bot in the right directory.) If it doesn't work it probably won't work period.

[Mace]

Could you show some pictures

[Cookster]

Could you show some pictures

No.

[Cookster]

*bump*

I'm assuming not many people are installing admin-mod on account that there are few FAQ's. That pleases me.

However, I am curious about the number of servers using admin mod. I don't have time for games during the week on account of school and work - so if someone would be willing to fill me in on if there is being any admin-mod abuse? Or have servers just been using the regular RCon?

[SSJ Jebus]

Ok, I followed Cookster's tutorial (and I thank him for taking the time to make it) and did everything it said to do. Now, when I go to make a listening server, the loading screen comes on (blue-ish backround with kame palace on it) but there are no messages like "connecting to server" and what not. My computer makes sounds like it's loading the map and the server but nothing happens. The screen just stays on the loading screen with no numbers or anything. I've left it there for 10 minutes before and nothing happens. The computer isn't frozen because I can just hit escape and it brings me to the main server choice menu. Any ideas?

[SSJ Jebus]

Ok, so I guess I've made a little progress. I fixed my console to show the messages etc. and there was a problem with the name being reserved. Anyways, now I go into the server I create, and I enter my password and it says it's accepted but I only have access to a few commands such as vote_kick and whatnot. How do I get it to allow me to do everything?

[Cookster]

Make sure your admin pass.cfg file has the right access number, that is what gives you access to specific commands:

forexample, if I wanted full access I would have this line:

Cookster:mypassword:131071

131071 gives you full access.

To do the calculations to figure out the numbers, there is a link in the Tutorial that takes you to a calculator where you can figure out the access levels.

[SSJ Jebus]

Ok, so then does the setinfo thing go in that folder as well? If not, where? And I'm running a non-dedicated server so this will still work right?

[Cookster]

No more help for jebus, I said dedicated servers only.

[BlackVashAngel]

ok my question is....how do u get Fun mode started? thx

[Cookster]

type:

admin_fun 1

However, admin_fx must be set to 1 in the adminmod.cfg file under the addons folder.

[BlackVashAngel]

how do u do that? and how can u get the exact file name? and what do i download if i cant find that file? thx

[Cookster]

whenver you see an admin_command, its done in console.

ie when in game on your dedicated server, you would type
admin_fun 1

admin_fx 1 must be set to 1 in the adminconfig.cfg file

[BlackVashAngel]

what file is the admin_fx1? and how do i set it? sorry im not a comp nerd-no offense-but can u tell me how to do it step by step like telling a retard how to do it? THANKS SOOSOSOO much if ANYONE can do this!!!

[RedSaiya]

ah?! What am i need to do!?

[Pommy]

put
admin_allow_exec 1

to enable the admin_execall and admin_execclient features that are removed from the admin mod config file. This will help you control your server.

why am I saying this? So people will use it, i am not responding to a question, just saying it in general.

[RedSaiya]

I cant do it
i cant run the bots with the metamod

[RedSaiya]

i read in the adminmod menual how to install
with bots 10q anyway

[RedSaiya]

Nop it is still not working please help i want
the bots with
the adminmod

[RedSaiya]

Nop but it still not working
please help i need help i want
that the bots will work and the
adminmod

[Cookster]

If you look closely at the first post in the update, you will see that Admin Mod and Metamod do not work with the ESF-Bots. I tried this with both ki-bot.dll and the alpha ESF-bot.dll.

Why I am not sure, maybe I too had something configured incorrectly, but I doubt it.

So as far as I know, bots DO NOT work with admin mod for ESF. They will work for other mods, but those bots are much more developed than these ones.

[Eon]

alright need some help here!
I have metamod, I installed it, and it still crashss when i crashes when i create a game....:cry:

[Cookster]

Now I know how technical support feels.

From now on when you post Stuff, please include exactly how you installed Admin Mod and Metamod, the folders, etc. Tell me every little detail that you did to install Admin - Mod and configure it and then I will help you.

Other than that the only other thing I can offer is go read the tutorial again and make sure you followed every little step.

[Eon]

alright here is the specific reasoning

I got admin mod, extracted to C:\SIERRA\Half-Life
then i extracted metamod and extracted to C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\ESF\addons\metamod

I then installed Admin Mod, then did teh user name thing(where you ahve to set a PW or somethin to prevent ppl with the same name) then i create a game and it crashes!

and I did put Metamod in the Adminmod Dlls!

[Cookster]

I know why its crashing, its because your running a listenserver. tsk tsk.

I've told you all that I don't want a bunch of listen servers being thrown up... aparently people just don't understand this....

Its crashing because you didn't specify a specifc config file (.cfg) that I clearly told you to make in the tutorial. Go re-read it 3 or 4 more times and find it, its in there.

also Metamod.dll g oes in the metamod/dlls folder, not the adminmod/dlls folder.

[Eon]

alright i specified it and everythign, and sorry to say, i did play on a listen server, yes it works BUt i type in admin commands and it says "dont abuse this server..blah blah you know the drill, so then i remembered to change the user thing and i did, BUT when i go into my game says my own name is reserved....what do i do then???!?!

[Morpherex]

My friend told me how to do it by wonid/access
WONID::ACCESS

:: < you need two.

[RedSaiya]

Where i need to write it into the users.ini file!?

[gpas]

this my sound completely noob like but i unziped it in to half life like it said then i just went start and sarted a server and after the meta mod bit it brings up this window saying i need to set a pugin file or script file and i dont know what to do

[RedSaiya]

Morpherex can you please tell me what am i need

to do?? :\ with this wonid:accses

[BLACKDEVIL]

Does admin cofig work for esf because im not that good with admin by itself

[(MW) Gray Fox]

Is there a way to make the players of your server have a higher power level than default? because i don't like running a server for more than 30 minutes and well people complain about being vegeta and not getting to accend before the match is over.

[(MW) Gray Fox]

gpas i was getting the same error message. Basicly, do what it says. Go to your adminmod.cfg or whatever in the addon folder, then under the top lines just type admin_plugin_file. It should look like this on top of your adminmode.cfg

// (Note: For CVARS that are set to either "on" or "off," 0=off and 1=on) //
echo Executing Admin Mod config file

admin_plugin_file

[gpas]

did that and it still complanes yes i am an uber newbie would u be able to email you admin.cfg or what ever file to bobgpas@hotmail.com cause mine is not working

[Mr. Nemo]

i can start a server and it says password excepted and all by my wonid and stuff but then when i'm in the server i dont have any admin powers i can't do anything it says dont abuse your power blah blah blah and i have in my user ini file the highest level of admin and **** but i dunno whats up

[RedSaiya]

Morpherex

tell me errrrrrr, what am i need to do with the config

or something like this....

[Cookster]

Guys - before posting questions, try your own trouble shooting, its a process that can teach you a lot.

It really isn't that complicated to get Admin-mod working.... I even gave you a simple to use tutorial, this was really more of a discussion for use of more plugins or extra tweaking... Now your just being ridiculous in your requests, it IS NOT that complicated, I suggest you just uninstall ESF- remove Admin Mod, and re-install ESF... Ya can't work it ya don't need it.

[Eon]

i FINALLY got it to work (thank you mr satan) and also try opening it in a diff video mode, thats what i did

[RedSaiya]

Magus i relly dont want to tell this but your 2nd sig

IS PISSED ME OFF HE SUCKS!

[Eon]

hey cool!
i could care less

[SHoRt FuSe]

hmmm the link to any of the files/Tutorials don't go so what do i change in the server.cfg or whatever file to stop it crashing when starting a dedicated server

thanks :)

[Cookster]

Make sure you have the latest version of meta-mod installed and make sure when you install metamod that you install it AFTER admin-mod because admin-mod puts in an older incompatible version of metamod.

And if links don't work which I figured they wouldn't - simply copy and paste them.... think dammit! think!

[SHoRt FuSe]

yeah i got it working :D and yes i did try to copy and paste :p

[RedSaiya]

when i am opening a listing server...

it is says that he add the bot to but i cant add them...

[Eon]

you are not supposed to add bots with admin mod

[Mr. Nemo]

mine still does work everything works but me doing stuff in the server it escepts my password and stuff but then says i'm abusing my power even thou my access level is the highest it can go lik 131071 or what ever it is

[VegetaBlaZe]

R@!der dont say that kinda stuff u said in the top....its not very nice

[VegetaBlaZe]

evil_trunks just how far do ur limits go b4 u close a place like this full of dust bunnys?

[Eon]

probably when people continue to double post and get off the subject on threads quite often:S

ON TOPIC the admin mod newest version is 2.50 correct? thats the one i had but it says i need a newer version....i fixed it, but im just curious on that subject

[Cookster]

You have no reason to update admin-mod, it only concerns some security issues which can give others control of admin-mod. This mainly concerns counter-strike, most people here can barely run the mod, let alone hack a server.

The only thing worth updating is Metamod....

[SSJ-Mystic]

double spam-man

[LOGiSTiCs]

how do you slap people on the server? does it need enabling?

[Cookster]

That feature was removed for good reason. Slapping isn't needed in any game, so don't worry about it.

[LOGiSTiCs]

well camping on some maps is pretty annoying so they need a good slapping

[Cookster]

Camping doesn't exist in ESF - slap isn't needed, if you want to admin your server use the admin_kick or admin_csay and give them a stern warning - then a kick, then a ban.

Slap is useless, along with other admin-mod commands which have been removed.

[Snow]

Admin Slap is cool...

...If someone is play a joke on you instead or hitting them with meele just SLAP them its funny and gets the job done.

[SonGokuSSJ_3]

You know the download for the Admin-mod is down... right?:rolleyes: And what does slapping do?O_O

[Snow]

I dont know what animation happens but thay get slapped! LOL!

[SonGokuSSJ_3]

I need that admin mod soooooooo bad! BUT I CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT!!!!!:cry:

[Snow]

What the link will not work?

[SonGokuSSJ_3]

nope, no it won't... waaaaaaaaah:cry:

[Snow]

I will try to find you a working link. OKAY!

[Kakarott(SSJ)]

If your wondering where 2 get the WORKING download.
Go to http://www.adminmod.org
Type in ESF as the mod name 2 install into :)

[Snow]

Is there like another kind of admin mod but with less features?

[Cookster]

I can tell you guys you don't need this , it sounds like your trying to download it just so you can't throw up a listen server and slap people. If I get complaints I will make sure there is no more public releases of a compatible version of admin mod.

DO NOT abuse it, if I catch anyone doing so I will have it hardcoded into admin-mod with your ip and wonID banned.

[Snow]

Wonid that mean you ban us from ESF internet play. We were just sayig some of the fun features such as slap. Did you make admin mod?


BTW why is your name Minuteman?:laff:

[Cookster]

I use the alias Cookster on ESF, but before that, in Warcraft 3, I played as Minuteman - but I like cookster better.

[Snow]

Who would you do this: DO NOT abuse it, if I catch anyone doing so I will have it hardcoded into admin-mod with your ip and wonID banned. Would that ban us from ESF interenet play?

[Cookster]

I don't have access to the Source Code for ESF - thats harsens job. Any servre using adminmod would have a person banned though as I do control the metamod.dll compiling.

[Snow]

Well I cant host servers (network) my friend has admin and I got full acess to commands. I dont aduse it I like to make the game fun like fun made thats all.

[SonGokuSSJ_3]

I'm confused, how do I fing the ESF admin-mod:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Snow]

Theres a link here somewere....

[SonGokuSSJ_3]

?????????????????????? I don't understand, type in ESF mod?
What the...?

[Snow]

What are you guys confused about?

[~Kenoku~]

where can i get this adminmod?

[Snow]

There should be a link in the tread somewere I think I saw one somewere.

[SonGokuSSJ_3]

ya, but I can't download it from there either

[Cookster]

Don't worry, admin-mod won't work with the new patch comming out, it will crash (Should be out in the next few weeks. :-p ). No questions asked. I'll re-post the new information when I get around to it.

[Snow]

Wait the admin mod will NOT work woth beta 1.1?

[Cookster]

No, because there will probably be new sprites (as far as I know there will be. If there are not, then it _should_ still work.)

New sprites won't be registered in the metamod.dll, which is the library file which makes Admin Mod Compatible with Earth Special Forces. It usually takes anywhere from 1week to 2 months for this to be compiled because the creator of Metamod is so busy.

Fortunatly I will be installing Linux on a second hard drive over the weekend, and I will be able to compile it from now on, thus getting Admin Mod working with ESF sooner.

Anyways, you'll see it in the news when/if I get around to updating Admin-mod. With people like Kid Devil around, it might be kind of nice to have ANY server with adminmod installed so that he can be dealt with in the manner that is necessary.

[Snow]

So will you update the admin mod so it will work with beta 1.1?

[Cookster]

maybe.

[Snow]

When did you make the admin mod?

[Cookster]

When did I say I made admin-mod?
A group of very talented coders and a community of scripts found at www.adminmod.org are responsible for the tool.

[Snow]

So you all made it together? Well who ever made it GREAT job!

[Son Gokou]

I got a question but not about admin mod...How do I turn on this command that allows you to melee without delays, example: You hit, but you have to wait for a sec or two to hit 'em again...how do i set that value to 0?

[Snow]

Maybe you should make a tread about this in esf chat.

BTW I dont know.

[Cookster]

Son Gokou, that is an Earth Special Forces Command, go search for it in another thread. Its stickied somehwere.

[Snow]

Is there a new version of admin mod out?

[mysticssjgoku4]

the command is mp_nomeleehittime -99

[Snow]

What does it do?

[Anti]

Few things here...
To download adminmod go to http://www.adminmod.org ...difficult eh? and metamod at http://www.metamod.org . Next, I think it IS possible to run bots with ESF and adminmod at the same time. I think I managed to pull it off once or twice. But I dont think it was as simple as editing the command line in your shortcut. I think I had to add some lines to listenserver.cfg or something. WHen I find out I'll post it here.

[Anti]

Good news all...
I went thru the trouble Of figuring this out...comp froze 2 or 3 times but I finally got it. Heres how its done.

FIRST: Install adminmod as usual. Make sure you liblist.gam file has this line...


gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"

NEXT: make sure ESF-Bot.dll is in your /dlls/ folder in your esf directory. Now, add this line to AUTOEXEC.CFG ...

localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/ESF-Bot.dll

now simply load your game and addbots to your hearts content.

DO NOT edit the command line in your esf shortcut. DOING THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR GAME TO FREEZE. It will freeze before the metamod display shows while loading your server.

This worked for me, If it doesn't work for you then your S.O.L., I dont wanna crash my comp any more tryin to figure it out lol. I even tested it out by adding bots then admin_kicking them from my server and it worked fine, and the server didnt crash for the time I had it up. Good luck

[Snow]

So now we can have admin and bots?

[Anti]

lol...did you not read my post? I told you that I even got onto my server and admin_kicked the bots off. So the answer is yes, bots DO work with adminmod, and I'm using adminmod v. 2.50.52 or whatever that latest version is, the one right after 2.50.50. Hope it works for you guys. Also make sure you have the latest version of metamod. I belive it comes packaged with adminmod, so if you have 2.50.52, then it should be fine.

[Snow]

OK I will go dl the newest version.

[~Kenoku~]

once i go to metamod then what do i get which file dp i download?

[SSjGohan12345]

ok when i download it it doesnt have v-meny files in it it has 1 folder and like 4 files is it somethink to do with the site?

[Anti]

The file to download is the first one underneath the description of the newest metamod....itll say something like "Download single dll or iso file..."

[Snow]

Does the admin mod have fireworks?

[Anti]

Yes, there is a METAMOD plugin called fireworks, tho I can't really tell you where to get it, just search google for Half-life fireworks plugin or something like that and you should find it. I can't guarantee it would work with the new one but I don't see why it wouldnt so yeah I guess it should. I used to have it, but it crashed my server a couple times so I got rid of it....beware of the players who lay too many fireworks and you should be OK, but if HL starts to crash, then I would probly look to fireworks as the problem.

P.S. BTW, if you wouldn't mind too much admins, would you maybe wanna bump my post about how to get ESF-Bots working with admin mod up a bit, as to avoid confusion and long search periods? Just a thought. Thanks

[Cookster]

Stuck your post in mine anti on the main page.

[XêNi0 =]]

i have a problem

my access level is 131071 (full with rcon)

but when i exec admin_kick target he says that i dont have permission

in counter-strike, this work normal every time

how do i fix it?

and i need a command to "restart round"

thx

[Anti]

First of all, make sure you do one of two things :

make sure you have setinfo _pw-home "yourpasshere" in adminmod.cfg.

1:Make a file called adminpass.cfg with your admin_password in it. The admin_password "password" should be the same as the "yourpasshere" on setinfo _pw-home.

or

2: Enter your password manually into the console at the beginning of the round.

I also dont recommend using the access level 131071 on yourself. I have tried this before and sometimes cannot connect to my own listen server from the same machine, with a reserved name error. Instead, use 114687. This will give you the exact same access, except it wont consider your name a reserved name. Hope this helps, if not then I dont really know.

P.S. Thanks cookster, I appreciate the stick.

[LOGiSTiCs]

|::Z::| Gotenks {ssj2} - any ideas who keeps on joining the server and crashing it? i restarted it 7 times today already using remove. damn gr00vs comp is dying lol, whats happening about this grand kai tour?

[Pommy]

also

admin_allow_exec 1

then

admin_command admin_execclient WONID COMMAND ARGUMENTS

to control from console. its really useful.

allow_client_exec 1 is good yeah, but if he, for some reason, doesnt have access to admin_kick, I kinda doubt he'd have access to admin_execclient. But hey you never know, he may.

[Morpherex]

:( My server crashed with bots/admin mod, but I think it's because of the lack of resources...
;D I wonder if ESF will ever have bot support by default.

[Morpherex]

Have your brother take you off the nap(sp?) If you are on a nap and you all use one IP....

[Cookster]

Snow1586, go to your Routers Homepage (The creators website, ie linksys or dlink would be a company that designs routers) Go to the manufacturers website and they will most likely have a tutorial so that you can host games behind a router.

Where can I find the ESF-Bot.dll file. In the folder only the hl.dll is there. How do I use the bots after I do this?

[Anti]

Well, you could search google, which would probably be the easiest way, or you could run back through this thread, I think they posted a link thats here on the esf site, under files. To install it, follow my guide if you want to use adminmod with it, but if not, just open liblist.gam and add

dlls\ESF-Bot.dll after gamedll

[Raptor]

whats that?
i see admin mod faq and then every link is down ;/
i need a tutorial or the adminpackage...

[Cookster]

It will remain down for a bit. Search the forums, someone else has written a simple and easy to follow tutorial.

[White-Devil]

You've posted 3 posts with in incrimints of 5 minutes. For that, no soup for you.

And by soup, I mean both help, and bots.

[skynard47]

[Cookster]

Yes.

But we only take cash or check.

Make checks payable to ESForces.com Server
Pay to the order of Greg
Memo - ESForces.com Servers

It will cost you $300, but we set everything up for you.

[Anti]

LOL Cook, $300 cash or check? Good stuff. but seriously...who woulda bought that. Did he? Cuz I didnt see him post again lol.

[Cookster]

I am happy to announce I am now $300 richer, and another pleased customer.

Would anyone else like me to set them up? I'm starting a discount, %50 off for those who can wire me cash.

No not really.... I wish. I give a dumb answer for a dumb question. If people would only ready.

[Mestivo]

I have a few questions for you Cookster if you don't mind.
I'm pretty sure you've heard of AMX, since it's similar to Adminmod, which one do you think's better?
And are there actually ESF specific plugins released? (haven't really checked into it)
I'm going to go try AMX to see if it's compatible with those bots (No clue why, but I have alot more luck with AMX)

Edit:
Looking through the error logs I noticed something odd:
[META] Gamedll specified via localinfo: dlls/esf
[META] Overriding game 'esf' with dllfile 'esf'
[META] ERROR: dll: Couldn't load game DLL c:/sierra/half-life/esf/dlls/esf:
[META] ERROR: Failure to load game DLL; exiting...
My first reaction was to rename it without the '-' and now it loads correctly but I now have another error:
[META] ERROR: dll: Failure calling GetNewDLLFunctions in game 'esf'

That's as far as I go, trying to figure out anything beyond that will just lead to a headache.

[Cookster]

Don't worry about it now.

ESF b1.1 is due in no time soon.

Admin-Mod or AMX will not work with it period when the new release comes.

During that release, I should be able to get it working up with a new tutorial, it might even be an addon package..... readily configured for use.

AMX and Admin-mod are identical, I perfer admin-mod however, as it has been out longer, and a majority of the community prefers it, inclduing me.

As for bots, you should read the first page, someone figured out how to get ki-bot to work, according to them, I took their word. That might solve your errors.

Otherwise you are sol for the next week or four. lol

[Mestivo]

I'll probally use fakefull if I want any type of bot's on my server

As for Adminmod, I didn't like it very much because it seemed far too user friendly, AMX feels like you have more control, maybe it's just because I started with AMX.

Well, losing metamod is a small price to pay I suppose, and besides, it gives me more time to learn to script plugins.

By the way, I know what you mean when you don't want to answer questions, I know they could have looked in the cfg files and/or adminmod forums. I guess I'm weird because I'll never ask for help, goes against my sacred, non-existant religion.

[Anti]

Isn't it a pity....I feel I posted this valuable bot/metamod info so close to beta 1.1 release time. Oh well, hopefully when metamod is compatible next time it wont be so strenuous to figure out....lol, anyway, I'd like to congrat the ESF team on a job well-done. Its not perfect, but it is by far better than the past versions and I can't criticize because I have not the faintest idea of how to code this shtuff anyway. Good job guys, lookin forward to the next :laff: :yes:

[Ultimate 17]

Ok, well for about 2 weeks now I've successfully been running adminMod with beta1.1 (Trunks cant use his sword though). I am now working on the dll for the esf_bot.dll. I have all the code in all the right places because the plug-in will load to a point. I can view the server screen and it says *Bind "=" "bot_menu"* however, in the server, I do the 'meta list' command and it shows the adminMod dll and the esf_bot.dll... but for status (stat), adminMod has RUN and esf_bot.dll says 'badfile'. I do 'meta info esf_bot.dll' and it says its running from the location c:/sierra/half-life/esf/dlls/esf_bot.dll and everything checks out fine but this 'badfile' status. Its keeping me from loading/unloading/retry/pause/RUN this plug-in. Does anyone have any help for me? I'd really like to use these bots because my clan members are begging for some bot training and this seems to be a good way.

also, when I try to manually load the plug-in, it says "couldn't load plug-in <esf_bot.dll>; see log"
Where is this log kept?

[Ultimate 17]

Ok, I turned logs on, and here is what I get..

[META] ERROR: dll: Failed query plugin '<esf_bot.dll>'; Couldn't find Meta_Query():
[META] ERROR: dll: Skipping plugin '<esf_bot.dll>'; couldn't query


Not sure what Meta_Query() does or how to incorporate it in this plug-in...

[luther349]

'scuse me if I'm wrong, but have they even released a version of metamod compatible with 1.1? If not, theres your problem, metamod doesnt support the new sprites. If they have, then you're on your own, I haven't dealt with it for 1.1 yet, since I believe they havent released the new metamod.

[Ultimate 17]

well with my bots, = brings up the control window. Addbot is totally different type of bots. those would be ki_bots I believe. I am using esf_bots. stilll lookin for answer to my question 2 posts above

[ZacK248]

1-i recompiled metamod to get new 1.1entities: http://forum.esforces.com/showpost.php?postid=276012&postcount=23 (just replace your .so or .dll)
2-maybe you got a corrupted bot dll or you may have misinstalled, i use metamod + bots and it works fine

[Ultimate 17]

You say it works for linux in that link. Does it also work for Windows? Because thats what my ded. server runs on...

[ZacK248]

it works on windows, it's just that i had some problems to compile a linux version that works on every linux comp.

if you use that to run esf
C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -game esf +exec adminpass.cfg +localinfo mm_gamedll addons\adminmod\dlls\ESF-bot.dll
are you sure that esf-bot.dll is in addons\adminmod\dlls\ ? if yes try to install it in dlls\

[GokuAnime]

You can run admin mod on esf without it messing up and getting rid attacks all you have to do is have esf start your server before the admin mod if you can do that and have it load itll work i did it already and trying to figure out how i did but then again after this i was constaly spammed with flooding server when i tryed to talk if someone can stumble across this that would be great and we wouldnt have to wait for release to fix this...

[Cookster]

the fix is out www.metamod.org
Use search.

[Viki@killer]

Is metamod v.1.16.2 workin with esf?

[grOOvy]

Admin Mod and meta mod discussions technically belong in the 'Server Chat' section, henceforth I am moving it there instead of the Help section.
