| "He sees the shadow first: ten meters of sharp angles, thorns, blades... legs like steel pipes with a rosette ofscimitar blades at the knees and ankles. Then, through the pulse of hot light and black shadow, Hoyt sees the eyes. A hundred facets, a thousand...glowing red, a laser shone through twin rupies, above the collar of steel thorns and the quick silver chest reflecting flame and shadow..." (The Shrike) |  |

Installation: To make the installation as smooth as possible, install Adminmod/Metamod AFTER installing Shrikebot. This will prevent Shrikebot from overwriting options in the configuration files. If you have already installed Adminmod, skip to the next section. First off, once Adminmod is installed, run half-life or hlds to make sure it is working properly. Edit your adminmod configuration to add/remove scripts, add your user name and password, and make sure it all works. If you install everything all at once, troubleshooting may be more difficult. You will notice after installing Adminmod, Shrikebot no longer loads. This is normal, as you have to tell Adminmod to load Shrikebot instead of the Mod DLL. Won Users: All you need to do is edit your shortcut (or hlds script) as seen below: Listenserver - Edit your Shortcut: Add the text +localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/shrikebot.dll to the end of the shortcut as shown, and hit Ok. Dedicated Server (HLDS): Add the same text to your command line. You can simplify it by making a batch file in your Half-Life folder like this: Or For Linux: Steam Users: Since Adminmod will edit your liblist.gam for you, all you have to do is edit your command line just like the above examples. For linux, the command line gets even bigger. Again, simplify it with a script: The last thing you need to do is turn on Adminmod's Bot Protection. This feature prevents Adminmod from doing things to the bots that may crash the server. To enable it, open up your adminmod.cfg in a text editor (usually located in /[Mod Name]/addons/adminmod/config/adminmod.cfg) and find the line that states admin_bot_protection 0. Change the 0 to a 1 and save the file. For more help with Shrikebot, see our Forums. For more information about Adminmod, Check out their website. Help I Installed Shrikebot After Adminmod! No problem at all. You need to edit your liblist.gam file again. Your's will look like this: game "Day of Defeat" url_info "http://www.dayofdefeat.net" url_dl "" version "1.0" size "5" svonly "0" cldll "1" secure "1" hlversion "1110" type "multiplayer_only" nomodels "1" nohimodel "1" mpentity "info_player_allies" gamedll "dlls\shrikebot.dll" gamedll_linux "dlls/shrikebot_i386.so" You'll need to edit the gamedll line to point to metamod. Make it look like this: game "Day of Defeat" url_info "http://www.dayofdefeat.net" url_dl "" version "1.0" size "5" svonly "0" cldll "1" secure "1" hlversion "1110" type "multiplayer_only" nomodels "1" nohimodel "1" mpentity "info_player_allies" gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll" gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so" Easy huh? Issuing Commands To issue commands to your server with Adminmod, use the admin_rcon command in-game from the console. For this to work, you will have to set up your username and password (and maybe even won or steam ID) in adminmod to allow you access to it. Once you have admin_rcon working, give shrikebot commands just like a regular dedicated server, i.e shr "addbot 1 2 Lt.Dan". For a refresher on shrikebot rcon commands, Click Here.
