shrikebot can work with AMX mod X ?rnrnIt sure can. All you really need to do is load it up into metamod. You can do this either through the server startup, or through a file called config.ini that you create in your metamod directory (I won't go into details on how to install metamod).rnrnIE for linux:rn edit addons/metamod/config.ini and put in this line:rn gamedll addons/shrikebot/dlls/shrikebot_i386.sornrnObviously, you'll need to specify where your dll/so file is located. Then, when you start your server, it will autoload shrikebot. The same can be done with sturmbot as well (though, you cannot run both at the same time).rnrngamedll sturmbot/dlls/sturmbot-i486.sornrnThe shrikebot folder needs to be in the top level dod directory. Shrikebot comes with two *.so files (for linux). Both work, but only one allows you to enter commands from the server's command line.rnrn-O-

i`m running shrike right now as well...and have been for a few years.rnrnSturmbot works , but there are bugs in it that will never be fixed. (I think everyone knows what happend to Jowo ?) if not , its like this.rnrnJowo the brains behind Sturmbot , had just released 1.7b and it was brilliant , however still in beta form.rnJowo had the only source code for the bots and went on vacation with his family to Thailand in 2004 when the Tsunami hit and well , Jowo and his entire family are still listed as missing.rnrnso with that said , I doubt Sturmbot 1.7b will ever be fixed. ( but it does work )rnrnthe early sturmbots work , but there have been updates to the maps since 1.6 was released and working properly and well , unless you edit the waypoints , its annoying as hell to have all the bots stuck in the sewers in Kalt.rnrnnow for Shrikebot...Shrikebot works fine , there are plenty of way points , and the bots are okay.rnrnhowever , if you set their reaction time up or their skill level up even a tad to make them less Stupid , they play like total hackers. and any less hacky with the skill and they are dumb as dirt. rnrnbut they are still better than an empty server when you want to play on your own server and no one is around.rnrn.....now getting SHrike to update the coding would be nice , however , i have put up posts about it and they act like you are putting them down and get smart with you about it....rnrnmaybe if enough people post " requesting an update to shrikebot " ... maybe cpl shrike will update his almost 4 year old code.

ya ive used amx to make them throw grenades.. tho i didnt put much effort into it and they usually kill themselves 99 out of 100 times lol.. nnand they do listen to some voice commands lol.. like if you tell them to hold the position they usually crouch down there for a while or till you tell them to move out again.. but calling for backup or something would be sweet.. or like telling them to stick together and following you would be awesome too lol

you dont need to add anything to your command line to run shrikebot.(you dont change your hlds line at all , metamod does all the work )rnrnwhat you need to do is , create a file in note-pad or word-pad and call it.rnrnconfig.ini in that notepad file put this line gamedll addons/metamod/dlls/shrikebot_i386.sornrnplace in your metamod folder.rnrnin your metamod/dlls folder...place the shrikebot.dllrnrnand your done at that poing ,except for putting the shrikebot.cfg in your dod folder.

How to install Omni-bot on WindowsrnrnThe windows version of Omni-bot is distributed with an NSIS [1] based installer. On windows, the installer will add the Omni-bot installation folder to your PATH environment variables. This allows supported games to easily find Omni-bot in the centralized installation folder. If the Omni-bot directory doesn't get set up in your path, games may have difficulty finding the bot dlls and fail to load. You will find more "How To's" on the Omni-bot on google search

CPL shrike should have just added the addons/metamod/config folder and file to his shrikebot.rar so people would have not had to ask a thousand times, "how do i install SB" I'm not sure what he was thinking.rnrnI have created zip file's (for both win32 & linux) that all you do is upload to your dod folder and then restart and BOB's you're uncle. Instant bots. I also added 166 waypoints 30 of which i tested to make sure they not only work but are the better Wpt's for use on those maps.rnrnWhat we have is a case of people who arn't any good at the game making waypoints and that results in bad waypoints were bots camp in all sorts of bad places. rnrnI'm going to be putting out a new pack of waypoints done right soon.rnone pack for servers that insist on having the bots help cap flags, and another were the bots dont cap at all and just deal damage, for the real players who just want to practice skill killing out in the open.rnrnIf anyone wants the shrikebot-install.zip PM or email me and ill get it too you.

I find Sturmbots are far superior to Shrikebot. I run Shrikebot on my Avalanche server and Sturmbot on my Old Skool. You can call Sturmbots for backup at double caps by using the voice command "I need backup". They respond to most voice commands. Shrikebots are dumb.rnrnThe official Sturmbot site closed down so I picked up sturmbot.org to try and keep Sturmbot alive. We have a lot of waypoints and we continually tweak them to run better.

So having the bots back us up at a flag is not a big thing, Even though on dod_avalanche SB does that perfectly when using the, i need backup command and hold this position. they even respond to gogogo.rn#4: I have found that stumbots are much dumber then SB's are and they jerk around more.rnrnAnd last but not least, There are a few nice plugins now to admin shrikebots while ingame.rnrnIt really is a shame that Wojo died in the sunami, because he was just getting going with all of the sturmbot features. RIP Wojo.rnrnI'm about to have a coder friend of mine create a whole new BOT for DoD classic.rnOf course i'm going to have to pay him to do it. It will not be based on botmans podbot. It will be coded from scratch. I haven't decided if or when i will allow it to be released publicly. I think i may going just put it on the dod boxes that people rent from me. But that hasn't been decided yet. So there's still hope for everyone else.
