Okay , I installed this before but I forgot how to do it this time , maybe Deagle can help me with this since he helped me write a guide for this awhile ago . I need a little help installing IVPBot. I'm using :
Windows XP
Steam Dedicated Server
Latest IVPBot version

So that should help you know some so you can help me better. I have tried the following to install IVPBot :

1. Put IVPBot in my Addons folder , put :

win32 addons/ivpbot/ivpbot.dll

Yes Ivpbot.dll was in my Ivpbot folder.

2. Put IVPBot in my Steam/Steamapps/Mymail.com/Cstrike/Counter-Strike folder , and ran the .dll through that file dir.

Even though I did all of that and executed the Ivpbot.cfg in my Server.cfg , I still get :

Ivpbot.dll <bad.load>

// vim: set ft=c :
//
// Format is as follows:
// <optionname> <value>
//
// Fields are whitespace delimited (tabs/spaces).
//
// Comments are either c++ style ("//") or unix shell style ("#"), and
// can appear ONLY at the beginning of a line.
//
// The following provide a list of recognized options, their defaults, and
// examples of usage.
//
// debuglevel <number>
// gamedll <path>
// plugins_file <path>
// exec_cfg <file>

// debuglevel <number>
// where <number> is an integer, 0 and up.
// Sets the initial debugging level for metamod (same as cvar "meta_debug").
// Default is normally 0. If hlds is run with "-dev", default is 3.
// Overridden by: +localinfo mm_debug <number>
// Examples:
//
// debuglevel 0
// debuglevel 42

// gamedll <path>
// where <path> is an absolute path, or a path relative to the gamedir.
// Overrides the auto-detected gamedll, in particular for bots.
// Default is empty, with gamedll being auto-recognized based on the
// gamedir.
// Overridden by: +localinfo mm_gamedll <path>
// Examples:
//
// gamedll dlls/hl.dll
// gamedll ../podbot/podbot.dll
// gamedll /home/bots/dlls/mybot.dll

// plugins_file <path>
// where <path> is an absolute path, or a path relative to the gamedir.
// Overrides the default filename containing the MM plugins to load.
// Default is "addons/metamod/plugins.ini".
// Overridden by: +localinfo mm_pluginsfile <path>
// Examples:
//
// plugins_file cfg/clanmode.ini
// plugins_file ../private.ini
// plugins_file /home/half-life/testing.ini

// exec_cfg <file>
// where <file> is a path relative to the gamedir. Note! This CANNOT be
// an absolute path, as hlds will not "exec" absolute pathnames.
// Overrides the default filename containing hlds commands to run just
// after loading Metamod.
// Default is "addons/metamod/exec.cfg".
// Overridden by: +localinfo mm_execcfg <path>
// Examples:
//
// exec_cfg configs/debugging.cfg
// exec_cfg ../clan/match.cfg
debuglevel 0
plugin_file addons/metamod/plugins.ini
exec_cfg server.cfg
gamedll ivpbot/ivpbot.dll
//gamedll "epodbot\epb.dll"

this is used as "config.ini" in your metamod folder for steam dedicated server
feel free to copy and use, it should load it up normally when IVPbots is normally installed
in dedicatedserver/cstrike

Significantly reduce cpu-usage
Remember your D-Word Peli

Go into regedit and browse to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> PriorityControl"

Rightclick and Create a new DWORD called "IRQ8Priority" (IRQ 8 is the
IRQ of the system timer on all IBM PC compatibles)
dubbel click on the D-word and set the value to 1

task manager
ctrl+alt+del hlds priority HIGH

post back on the outcome lets see how it goes
just in case u forgot it, u will need this when running bots

I did this :

- Put the Config.ini in the Cstrike folder
- Put Ivpbot folder in my Cstrike folder
- Added this line to my Metamod Plugins.ini :

win32 ivpbot/ivpbot.dll

- Added this line to my Server.cfg :

exec ivpbot/ivpbot.cfg

But I still get this :

ivpbot.dll <bad.load>

I think I didn't do anything wrong , not really sure but , last time it said that a long time ago and I could still use everything , I could add bots and all that , but it said bad load. Not sure if it loaded wrong or it didn't load at all , I'll look at it more , but if you guys know a fix maybe you could help.

lets try again shall we i know mate i was climbing up trees because of this as well
--------------------------
DLL:
http://ivpbot.bots-united.com/files/ivpbot_25022004.zip

IVP WIP BOT 1.1.1
http://ivpbot.bots-united.com/files/ivpbot1_1_1.zip

Extract the ivpbot.dll/ivpbot_i486.so to your ivpbot folder and replace the old one
---------------------------

Install:
Just install/extract the archive to up one level of your cstrike folder.

Examples:
C:\SIERRA\Half-Life for Half-Life mod version of CS
or
C:\SIERRA\Counter-Strike for retail version of CS
or
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[email protected]\counte r-strike for Steam version
or
C:\Steam\SteamAPPS\Peli@Installingivp\Dedicat ed\
(atleast i think it was in dedicated and not in cs folder of the dedicated)

""skip that its 1 folder up in "dedicated server" not in cstrike
blame me if it doesnt work mate""

For Steam users:
Before install the bot, go to create a game in CS. After the game is created, quit it. This will create a file (mp.dll) which is needed by the bot to run.

After you installed the bot, go to your cstrike folder and set the liblist.gam to "Read-Only" mode. You can do this by right-click on liblist.gam -> choose "Properties" from the menu -> tick the "Read-Only" option on "General" tab.


Notes:
1. If you are using the win32 installer to install the bot, you have to type in the path to install (don't press the Browse button on the installer to choose the path else the bot will installed to C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[email protected]\counte r-strike\Half-Life)

2. To make sure you installed to the correct place, go to your cstrike folder and see if there is a ivpbot folder. If it's exist, then you installed it correctly
----------------------------
Config:
Use this to load ivpbot, save to metamod folder as config.ini
