Creating MetaMod Addon PodBot Way Point files for any Custom Maps

If you don't know what PodBot means, here it is

PodBot means Bots named Ping of Death. These bots are famous for their headshots. The installation of podbot menu is explained below.

Just download the package from the Internet. Downloaded package contains a folder named podbots. Now extract the package and copy the folder in addons folder of your counter strike installation. If you do not have any addons folder, you should make the metamod installation. You can get complete help in that topic or I will give a very brief introduction. Skip this if you have metamod.

• Just try to download the amx mod x, the link is given in this blog, and install it. This is enough.
• Or install admin mod.
• Or install metamod directly. This requires editing a file called liblist.gam

Installing metamod:

• Download the dll file from metamod.org. Keep it in cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls
• Edit the file liblist.gam in cstrike folder. For this you need to open the file with liblist.gam with notepad. There will be a line like this gamedll "dlls\mp.dll" change it to this gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll". That's it.

Now that you have installed metamod. Just paste the pobbot folder in addons.

Now create a file named plugins.ini with a line win32 "addons\podbot\dlls\podbot_mm.dll" in metamod folder. That's it when you start a game, these podbots will be playing with you.

You can create your own podbot way point files for any custom map so that you can create bots in it. This is how you create those way point files.

1. You might already have the podbots installed. If not goto the explanation above.
2. Just type this command in the console "pb wpmenu"
3. Now a menu appears on the screen.
4. Now bind a key to that command. To know how to bind see the previous pages in this blog.
5. Now add a T imporatant point at T Spawn.
6. Add CT important point in CT Spawn.
7. Add a goal point in the middle.
8. Now connect all these points with way points green.

Now save the waypoint file. It may have errors but it can be neglected. Just save and go on. You can switch off the waypoint menu from option 9 in the menu.

Add the bots when you start the map again.

The bots just follow the path randomly and they wouldn't get any problem reaching some point in the map. Even if they have some problem. The map does not crash and you can play the game very much normally.

Some PodBot commands:

• pb menu - podbot menu
• pb wpmenu - waypoint menu
• pb add - add podbot
• pb_detailnames 0 - dont show [PoD] in front and (100) at the end of the name
