The linux version is now there, but I *think* it has some minor flaws.

I've finished 1.0.1 Beta, 100% stable, all the models are fixed and all im waiting for is a linux compilation and itll be here !

Very cool, I just wish there were more (great) hostage models out there. I love variety, but dislike using novelty models that don't fit in with cs (i.e. bikini's, or simpsons).

It would be great if there were map specific themed hostages, although from what I can see, you can't force models depending on the map yet - right?

Great job either way, love being able to switch things up like this =)

HI :)
Can you please Post Screenshots from the Models an can you also zip all models in one pack then all users can choose what models he want :D

Hi, the linux MM plugin seems to load but it says NOFILE when i run "meta list", im also using the MM included in the zip file. another problem im having is that there is no doccumentation included in the tar.gz "no readme file in there" so i dont know if im just configuring it wron or what, i just tried to exec the configs from the CLI but i get "unknown command hosti_allowdownload"

any help would be great im running gentoo 2.4.24 kernel glibc 2.4.5 and gcc 3.3.6

"NO FILE" usually means that the path in metamod.ini is pointing to the wrong place. Check that the path in the ini matches where you put the hostitron .so file.

Should be something like

addons/hostitron/bin/hostitron_mm_i486.so

with the .so file in the cstrike/addons/hostitron/bin directory.

I have the same bug as dozier768

I have "NO FILE" message one time, and now "Error" message.

tested with SourceMM 1.0 and SourceMM1.1 by c0ldfyr3 on Linux machine glibc 2.3.5

ya the path is correct, thats the first thing i doublechecked, and just tripple checked now, if i change the path to anything else it says error when i type "meta list", i hope i can get this to work lol im getting sick of the "non sexy" old models :wink:

Linux
 

The linux version in the pack is dodgy anyway, wait for 1.0.1 when SM 1.1 is fully released cause its 100% stable.
If you want to use the one thats there, try changing the line in metamod.ini, I commented out the one for linux.

peagle > The map.cfg files work perfectly. Make a cs_italy.cfg in cfg/hostitron/ and see what happens =)


I will have a zip containing all the models ASAP, I have two new models to add today too. Dog from HL2 and ClownMask. Ill upload them when I get 1.0.1 compiled for linux.

Thanks for all the feedback so far folks.

Thx for the info cold, I already reconfigured the metamod.ini, I guess ill just wait for the new release.
