Does it happen if you disable AMXX?

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

yes, and give me a log

after put bot_add, with amxx on give me the message "hlds.exe has stopped working APPCRASH" (without logs) but without amxx it only closes and give me the logs on the image

I'm not sure what you are saying by "hlds.exe included in the steam game". Are you talking about a listenserver?

I just tried on my dedicated test server under windows and it works fine. Try to reinstall properly the server with steamcmd. It doesn't sound like an issue with the module.

im not use steamcmd, just i downloaded the game via steam and uses the hlds.exe then includes (steamapps/common/half-life/hlds.exe)

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

That's not a proper way to install a dedicated server.

Use SteamCMD: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

i test with steamcmd and same happens

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

That's not possible. You likely did not install properly.

Tell me exactly what you did.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

1) login anonymous
2) force_install_dir C:\HLServer
3) app_set_config 90 mod cstrike
4) app_update 90 validate

the hlds version is 7960 aug 10 2018 in windows 7 64 bits

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

My apologies for bumping this, it's not too old please don't hurt me :P

but I am having the exact same issue, only I can't see my error because the console closes on crash.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

i think the problem is windows 7, a friend with windows 10 not having this problem

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

I'm using windows 7, and the module has been developed and tested under this OS (and linux as well).

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

I’m using Windows 10 with a fresh install of hlds from steamcmd and when I try this version it crashes as soon as a I tell a bot to connect.

The thing I don’t understand is I also tried the version Whistler started. If I take his file, put it in dlls, and then call it to run from liblist, I have no problem with bots joining along side with still being able to use metamod.

I’ll try again tonight with another fresh install and post my settings.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

The module has only been tested with a normal server installed with SteamCMD.
If you are using the standard way, it should not have issues. It has been tested.

The code itself is really simple. It's about to hook UTIL_IsCZero function in the game, and returning always true. That's it. Nothing else. It doesn't manage the bots. The only way it could crash is maybe if the signatures to find the function matched something else. But again, I tested it again when Neon123 had issues, and it still worked with the latest game version.

Try a fresh SteamCMD install, install only metamod and this module, and test again. If it crashes, post how you installed the server, how you started it, the game version, etc.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

I can't figure it out man. I just did a fresh install from SteamCMD. I only put in metamod 1.20 and csbot_enabler_mm.dll.

running hlds from console I type: bot_join_after_player "0" then
bot_add_t

as soon as I hit enter, console stops, waits about 2-3 seconds, and closes.

Running Windows 10 Pro 64bit

I was also able to catch an error right before console closed:

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

Metamod version is outdated. Test with the latest which can be either latest Metamod-p 1.21 or Metamod 1.21-am.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

Sorry for off-topic, but i want to know if your comment means that 1.21p38 is bad?
https://github.com/jkivilin/metamod-p/releases

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

My comment meant he can use either the -p or -am version. It should not matter.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

Yeah, but you said "1.21p37" and 1.21p38 is the latest.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

Oh right, it should still not matter. p38 is just about enabling SSE optimization.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

Good, thank you.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

Unbelievable, thank you so much, working perfectly.

I had no idea there was an updated version. I just visited http://metamod.org/ thinking it would have the most updated version.

Definitely appreciate your help man, thank you.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

Works in reHLDS ?? with metamod-r 1.3.0.128?????

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

No. It just works on the old HLDS 5971.

Re: cs bot enabler crash ?
 

I’ve used podbot for over 15 years and csbots for several years through many amxx dev versions up until the lastest with a windows server, metamod am and -p. Tried minimal settings/plugins and all. Both have been mostly stable but they both have crash issues when you have scripts or console commands that change the bot_quota mid-game. Seems when a bot is kicked at the same time a real player connects to the server, there’s a good chance a crash will happen and it has annoyed me for many years. It is also a common issue I have noticed other server operators have complained about throughout the years. Is this something that can be fixed through amxx or looked into?
