Hi, I have been using this shrikebot plugin to kick bots from my dedicated standalone dod server but something seems to be very wrong with it.

After issuing the commands 'amx_maxbots 0' then amx_kickbots # << were # is the number of humans currently in the server, It then kicks all of the bots and everything is fine, Until the map change , When it crashes every time. I have tested this many times and it is indeed the culprit.

Can someone take a look at the .sma and maybe fix it or at least let me know why it's crashing my server. I would really like to use the plugin if possible because i have also tried using rcon to kick the bots both in console and through HLSW and it does not work.
I'm using amxx 1.76c. Thanks much in advance.

Sorry for the delay in posting back. @ Crusher, the developer is nowere to be found and does not even post on the shrikebot site anymore and as this is an amxx plugin, This would be the more appropriate place to post.
Considering that many people use SB which is the only bot that supports DOD 1.3, Since Wojo (The sturmbot creator) died in the sunami.

If there is any amxx coder out there that knows the fix or can fix this plugin, Any help would be very much appreciated by the whole bot community.
Plus i'll come over and mow your lawn... hehehe. I might even do your dishes. And no i don't do windows. Peace and thanks for being here.

We've used Shrikebot for quite a while. Our shrikebot.cfg is pretty basic...

bot_logo_percent 0
bot_reaction_time 2
bot_skill 2
bot_chat_percent 1
bot_whine_percent 1
bot_taunt_percent 1
bot_team_balance on
 
view_skill off
view_clan off
 
funmode 0
 
min_bots 0
max_bots 12

The only thing we ever change is the number of max_bots. The bots will leave as real players join.

The RCON syntax for Shrikebot is kinda quirky. For in-game console, use: rcon shr "max_bots 12" (or whatever number)

The code below will allow admins to control the maximum number of bots. Just enter the command:
admin_maxbots <#> (1 - 19)

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#define PLUGIN "Max Bots"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "Vet(3TT3V)"
public plugin_init()
{
 register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
 register_concmd("admin_maxbots", "cmdMaxbots", ADMIN_MAP, "<#> Sets the number of bots")
}
public cmdMaxbots(id, lvl, cid)
{
 if (!cmd_access(id, lvl, cid, 2))
  return PLUGIN_HANDLED
 new arg[8]
 new tmpint
 read_argv(1, arg, 7)
 tmpint = str_to_num(arg)
 if (tmpint < 1 || tmpint > 19) {
  console_print(id, "Number out of range (1 - 19)")
  return PLUGIN_HANDLED
 }
 new tmpstr[32]
 format(tmpstr, 31, "shr ^"max_bots %d^"", tmpint)
 server_cmd(tmpstr)
 console_print(id, "max_bots set to %d", tmpint)
 get_user_name(id, tmpstr, 31)
 log_message("[AMXX] Admin %s set max_bots to %d", tmpstr, tmpint)
 if (get_cvar_num("amx_show_activity") == 2)
  client_print(0, print_chat, "ADMIN %s: set max_bots to %d", tmpstr, tmpint)
 return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

EDIT: Made the snippet into a downloadable plugin.

As posted in the other thread, This does not work on my linux box for some reason. I'm not sure why. It says the plugin is running but when i type in the maxbots command and the command to kick the bots, Nothing happens.

same for me. I cannot control those bots
