well I downloaded foxbot ((latest version)) to use with my team fortress which is 1.5 but problem is i dont know which folder to put the dl in and theres nothing to actually RUN IT!!!! basically i have it in tfc folder and have read the guides but when i start up my mod all i should have to do is say "Addbot" in the console guess what??? nothing happens i really wanted to use this thing anyone help me....(foxbot/google didnt help)

really, it should do it automatically. (add bots.) Mine works...?

You probably haven't installed it properly. There should be a folder called 'dlls', put the foxbot dl in there if you can. There should be no reason why it wouldnt work afterwards.

Try setting the mp_dll in the FGD to the foxbot DLL, it might be worth a shot.

The FGD? Sure you don't mean LIBLIST.GAM?

Oops, yes. Liblist.Gam rather.

You don't need to mod any of your stuff.

The following works for Windoze XP.

Download FoxBotv697.zip (it contains FoxBotv697.exe).

Download it anywhere, unzip it and run the executable FoxBotv697.exe. The executable is an installation program, not the foxbot application itself. If you answer the questions right, or it correctly finds your HalfLife folder, it'll create a FoxBot folder and load everything into it or subfolders.

Then download FoxBotv698-upg.zip which contains (only) foxbot.dll. Unzip and move foxbot.dll to the ..HalfLife/FoxBot folder which should now exist.

The FoxBot folder should contain the dll, some htmls and a "tfc" folder which has areas, waypoints, etc., to support the default tfc maps (2fort, rock2, etc.).

You shouldn't need anything else. Just the command line "hl.exe -dev -console -game tfc" should do it. You don't need the -dev -console but it's always handy.

From the TFC 1.5 start menu, select Multiplayer/Lan Game/Create Game, select a bsp, click Ok. You'll spawn and, after maybe 20-30 seconds, a screen splash for FoxBots.net fades in and out and bots start to spawn. FoxBots should automatically spawn 7 bots to fill in the (usually) 8 players default, 3 more on your chosen team and 4 for the other team.

I'd like to hear whether you get foxbots running or not.

Nice detailed post, thanks - Seventh
