Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

Ricky · **Author**

The latest PODBOT and the version before that (V3B22b) is not stable for use on respawn servers. Crashes sporadically and lasts no longer than 60 hours without crashing all deathmatch servers that I have studied. Also causes major CPU lag compared to other bot programs.

The latest YAPB version 2.7.3 is a good alternative. There is still ongoing development, yet, there are still major bugs that need to be sorted out. Doesn't crash my server however.

Any other recommendations? Specifically for DM/respawn type CS 1.6 servers.

If it is for Counter-Strike, try @Arkshine's Bot Enabler: https://github.com/Arkshine/CSBotEnabler

Thank you. I have this plugin properly installed and it loads but bots are not loading. Does it need waypoints? Also, I don't get much of a cmdlist or cvarlist for bots when typed in console. Not running the right HLDS maybe? Do you have this installed yourself?

Yes, and it is working:

Type 'meta list' on your server console, and paste here the results. You should see something like this:

This does not look like meta list. Type:

And bring it here.

This is how meta list looks like: (also use [code] meta list contents [/code] to paste the results here)

Maybe this metamod version is incompatible? Anyways, I will eventually figure it out. Thanks for all the replies!

If missing, nav files are generated automatically once a bot is added. You're using the client console, if you want to execute server commands in this console, you have to use the rcon.

Thank you both. I have used rcon to some success. The bots will die and not respawn however. Human players still do. Am I using the latest version?

Not totally sure what is your context, but you should probably add bots with "bot_quota".
