Play Single Player in Counter Strike 1.6 with Bots

Counter Strike 1.6 is just for multi-player. But if you want to play single player in CS1.6 you can do it. It is possible by adding bots to the game. For download information of the bots view the CS1.6 Bots post.

There you can see the download links of four bots. Select any one. Podbots is better. Now download it. After downloading it you have to install it. This is not possible by running some installer. You have to do it manually.

Before this, you should have AMX Mod X installed in CS1.6. See for addons folder in cstrike folder of CS1.6. If it is there, you got something done already so only little more to do. You must have metamod folder in that addons folder. Also that metamod folder should have a file named plugins.ini. If you have this too see the quick finish paragraph. Else, see the manual install paragraph.

Quick Finish:
Just extract the podbot package and paste it as it is in the addons folder. Then go to metamod folder, then open plugins.ini file and add this line in that file win32 "addons\podbot\podbot_mm.dll". That's it you have finished, the podbots should be waiting for you in the game. Go! Go! Go!, Wait comment here if you find any difficulty in the explanation.

Manual Install:
But now, what about the ones who don't have the folders. So, if you don't have the folder named addons in cstrike. There are two methods. Install AMX Mod X and Go. Or install Metamod and Go. If you install AMX Mod X. It is easy but will install AMX Mod X extra. Of course, AMX Mod X is also a good plug in you need to have. What are Metamod and AMX Mods? View this topic AMX Mod X and Metamod.

1. Metamod only:

1. Download the dll file from metamod.org. Keep it in cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls folder. Create those folders if you need to. Of course you need to create those since you dont have them.
2. 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.
   

2. with AMX Mod X:
Installation of AMX Mod X. Now that you have finished installation of mods. Continue with Quick Finish step.

BuySellAds, BSA Website Approval - [Out of Topic]

I have submitted my blog to buysellads website which is an advertising marketplace. The time taken to have some look at website was more than 2 days and the result is Not Approved. Of course, they have added some new suggestions along with restrictions I guess. I saw some number of blogs in their directory with *.blogspot.com format for example. May be this is done when they are still getting the popularity.

Anyways the result is like this " unfortunately we are not able to approve your site at this time."

Now, they said to me give a website which is not a sub domain, which is getting more than 100k of impressions per month. And also, they are focusing more on tech / web design / development / freelancer niche. They said that you may be denied if you are not in this niche.

I guess that we also need to have good template to get approved in the website's program. So, I changed my blog's template. Like it!

All the Best, for those who have their websites approved in buysellads, Best of Luck for those who are awaiting approval. Better Luck next time for those who dint get their sites approved.

Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Movie 2010

Its has become very common these days that a movie would be made into a game and a game would be made into a movie. To give some examples, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a movie which is being made into a game. And now a reverse, the game Prince of Persia Sands of Time is being made into a movie. you can see more about the movie at IMDb.

Just remember the DOS game which has been first released in 1989, when I am 2. I guess I saw the game in my 5th standard. The game is so creative that I guess any one who encountered the game wanted to finish the game no matter what. At least he wanted to see the game finished when others are playing. The creator of the game Jordon Mechner is an all-time hero for me.

And now the movie. I cant resist if the movie is not up to my expectations. Enjoy the movie!
