1. What bots are there for firearms?
That depends which version you are running.
If you are running FA 2.1-2.4 you can use the old Firebot 0.2d, which I found still for download at http://www.playground.ru/download/?mirror=2649. This bot also has about 90% compatibility with FA 2.5.
Alternatively, if you are running FA 2.4-3.0, you should use Marine Bot (www.marinebot.net).
If you are running MB 0.9 in any FA version other than 3.0, you should check this thread (http://hybridchill.com/mb_snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=606) and this database (http://marinebot.yis.us/pafiledb.php?action=category&id=3) to see if there are better waypoints for your FA version.
If you are, for some reason, using FA in a version earlier than 2.1, there are no bots for it (and somehow youve managed to find an old version of HL, since these versions of FA dont work on the latest versions of WON or Steam)
2. How do I install Marine bot?
Visit the Marine Bot download page (http://jameshiddle.com/marinebot/?page=downloads), and read the information on it carefully. Most people will want to download the Windows .exe installer. Run this installer, and read the information page carefully.
Taken from the MB documentation:
Quote:
There are two methods depending on which version you downloaded, the self contained .exe installer or the stand-alone .zip or .rar archive. Make sure you have a working copy of Firearms before you install MB!
Using the .exe Installer Program:
1) Run the installation utility and follow the instructions. Be sure to read the information on the second page. If you are not running Adminmod / Metamod, then installation is complete!
2) If you are using Adminmod / Metamod, open the file liblist.gam in your firearms folder using notepad. Comment out the line under 'MarineBot LAN' using '//' at the start of the line, and uncomment the line under 'MarineBot AdminMod' by deleting the '//'. Then use the following command line to start your game or server (add this in the properties of the shortcut you use) '+localinfo mm_gamedll marine_bot/marine_bot.dll'
Using the .zip or .rar Archive:
1) Extract the archive using a relevant extraction program (we recommend WinRAR by RarLabs, available from http://www.rarlab.com/ ) to your 'firearms' folder. Ensure you allow the directory structure when you extract. Then open your firearms folder and locate the program 'liblist_install_mb.exe'. Run this program. If you are not running Adminmod / Metamod, then installation is complete!
2) If you are using Adminmod / Metamod, open the file liblist.gam in your firearms folder using notepad. Comment out the line under 'MarineBot LAN' using '//' at the start of the line, and uncomment the line under 'MarineBot AdminMod' by deleting the '//'. Then use the following command line to start your game or server (add this in the properties of the shortcut you use) '+localinfo mm_gamedll marine_bot/marine_bot.dll'
Although this all looks quite complicated, 90% of users will simply need to run the .exe and thats it.
