Installation

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.

  • Assuming We assume: You already have Steam or CS1.5 installed;
    You have bought and ran Counter-Strike at least once;
    You are not installing PODBot mm from All-In-One package
    You have basic computer knowledge (if not - go ask for help at the forums, but use "search function).
    You know what is the listenserver (the PC when You create a game, You are playing from it and Your friends are able to join the game on Your PC)
    and the dedicated server (the PC-box You start the game and You can see only the console of it, but You are not playing from this PC).
  • Retrieving Download the latest Metamod. Choose one of the Metamod Binaries according to the operating system You have. Most likely :
    a) for windows metamod-1.19-win.zip
    b) for linux32 metamod-1.19-tar.gz
    c) for linux amd64 metamod-1.19-amd64.tar.gz
    You may save it anywhere.
    Download the lastest fullpack of PODBot mm. You may save it anywhere.
  • Arranging Extract the files from the archives. Use something like 7-Zip. Find the cstrike or czero folder (according to the game You have (CS1.5, CS1.6-Steam, CZERO-Steam supported). On CS1.5 most likely C:\Program Files\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike
    On CS1.6 listensever most likely C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your@email\Counter-Strike\cstrike
    On CS1.6 dedicated server most likely C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your@email\dedicated server\cstrike
    On CZERO listensever most likely C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your@email\Counter-Strike\czero
    On CZERO dedicated server most likely C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your@email\dedicated server\czero
    Once You know where is Your the most important folder (cstrike or czero) Yoy can go ahead with installing.
    Create a folder called addons in the above folder.
    Create a folder called metamod in the addons folder.
    Create a folder called dlls in the metamod folder.
    Move the file called - if You have:
    a) windows - metamod.dll
    b) linux - metamod_i386.so
    c) linux amd64 - metamod_amd64.so
    into the dlls folder.
    Move the folder called podbot extracted from podbot_full_V3_BXY.zip to the addons folder.

    NOTE:

    If You had already installed some older than podbot 2.6 mm version (some podbot_mm.dll created after 26.04.2004), we advise you to delete any previous .pxp files (bots experience files). You can find them inside addons\podbot\wptdefaut folder.
    Since the bot now supports the new CS 1.6 weapons, you MUST use the included botweapons.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!!!
    Podbot mm requires all new config files (included in the fullpack) to the correct work.
  • Setting Set Metamod to load PODBot mm Run Notepad.
    Type:
    a) windows: win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll
    b) linux: linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so
    c) linux amd64: linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_amd64.so
    into the textarea exactly as-is.
    Go to Your addons/metamod folder. Check if there is a file called plugins.ini.
    If you already have metamod installed (and the above file is there), You only need to add one of these above lines to metamod's plugins.ini file.
    If no - You need to save Your file You created by Notepad as plugins.ini in the correct folder. To do this - Push Ctrl and S at the same time.
    Change Save as type: to All files
    Browse to your addons/metamod folder.
    Type plugins.ini into the textbox labeled File name: exactly as-is.
    Left click Save. At this moment You have prepared metamod to load podbot mm.
    Set Counter-Strike to launch Metamod Inside the cstrike (or czero) folder You need to find the file called liblist.gam . Make a copy of it and rename the copy to liblist.old
    Open by Notepad the file liblist.gam, find the line gamedll "dlls\mp.dll" and change it to:
    a) windows users: gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
    b) linux users: gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
    c) linux amd64 bit users: gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_amd64.so"
    then save it.
    If You have CS1.6 or CZERO - Run Steam.
    Login to your account.
    Right click on Counter-Strike.
    Left click on Properties.
    Left click on Set launch options...
    Make sure that textbox is empty or at least it calls metamod with on such command lines:
    a) for windows - -dll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll
    b) for linux 32 - -dll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so
    b) for linux amd64 - -dll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_amd64.so
    Left click OK.
    Left click Close.
    That command line here and the liblist.gam calls for metamod they are equivalent, but the higher pririty to call the game dll is the command line from launch priporeties.
    At this moment You have prepared Counter-Strike to load metamod.
  • Uninstalling If You want to uninstall podbot mm only, but Yo still want to use metamod (because of using other mm plugins like AMX MOD X, AMX etc.) all You need is just remove the line from addons\metamod\plugins\ini file: a) windows: win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm.dll
    b) linux: linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so
    c) linux amd64: win32 addons/podbot/podbot_mm_amd64.so
    save the file and remove the whole podbot folder if You don't wish to use it anymore.
    If You want to uninstall everything (metamod and podbot mm) You need to either rename the file 'liblist.old' (You should've to create it before from the original 'liblist.gam' file - see above) to 'liblist.gam' in your cstrike (or czero) folder or You need to edit Your liblist.gam and replace the line:
    a) windows users: gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
    b) linux users: gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
    c) linux amd64 bit users: gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_amd64.so"
    by the line gamedll "dlls\mp.dll", then remove the whole metamod folder if You don't wish to use it anymore.
