@ la mano arriba, cintura sola can't see you in my friends list.

🍣👏

check your dms mate!!!

Spit it out 16 eyes...whats the question?

i have a question could u accept my friend request?

@INsane, thank you, yes, I will keep the file as up to date as possible and if I make any changes to the file,
I will write it in the comments section of the guide.
Then anyone who wants to can download the latest version.

@Dennis no problem, liked your guide, blocking IP ranges isn't hard, not perfect but I found it easy enough , the fake servers come and go, updates will be required I guess.

I'll leave my best regards here, signed Dennis.

@DNS.stx - yeah low level annoyance in dods but they (and others) waste your time altering the Game server browser data. It's like email spam, it seems pointless to go to this effort to fool others with fake servers, fake clients and get players on your server. They don't like getting called out for it, that means one thing... they are selfish morons who don't care what damage they do.

@INsane, saying that they have figured out how to monitize running a game server (hell they even got a $20 donation out of me a couple of years ago when started back into DoD:S), but yeah, they use questionable tactics.

No, I mean they got me hl2dm-hub banned, lol.

@Mailbox Megumin Yep, I have seen them releasing the real name of a player (in a post on steam and that is not allowed) who made a video of Fastpath admins using an admin only damage plugin against players. They tell you, you have a steam ban... when you don't and ask for payment. Pathetic clowns is correct.

lmao, pathetic btch ass fastpath clowns abused reports on me LMAO in hl2dm

Haha have no idea! Think I just asked you to help with someone else's map that had a few issues...

@Moist Gusset Hi, what was the item we were doing?

Hey, can't believe you're still around Remember doing some light DOD:S modding with you like 10+ years ago

+rep thanks for saving the commuinity, fastpath is a whole scam.

@Ronnis sure, do that on steam or discord... https://discord.gg/39dPghtHAb

Hi. Can I ask you two questions about file editing? I sent you some emails years before and I would like to finish editing two things. Best regards.

@Rakinui I have not looked at any other donation platforms, it seems all of them take a %.
Like Patreon ar from 5%-9%.
I noticed the RCBot2 bots are very careless too on dod:s if I have Friendly fire on...to be honest it is about the same as a Pub server full of players who don't play on FF servers :)

By the way, rcbot2 on Ubuntu 20 dedicated servers is working as good as ever -even with Metamod 11 stable versions-. Except for teamplay on hl2 (bots attack teammates). The servers are public (psw: bot), 2.56.99.191, hl2 and dods.

Is there a way to donate without having to deal with Paypal conversion fees? They wanted almost 4 Euros, so not exactly charging "a 4% for AUD" as advertised.

Thank you for telling me the truth about fastpath scammers!

No news as yet, they still only work if you install the older beta for a 32 bit client. That requires some effort and issues... https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/300/discussions/0/595141473937140521/#c595141473937207247

RCbots 2 not working anymore steam destroy it with new update to 64 bit any news ?

Hello, thank you so much for post https://dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods/rcbot2-for-dod-s/dod-s-dedicated-server-at-home-with-rcbot2#addrcbot

@mattypfc - I don't mind, just note I am in Australia so chatting may be delayed at times. Not installed mods on a Steam deck, (don't have one).

Hi Mate, I hope you don't mind me reaching out here. Not sure how else i can. I am struggling with the installation on Sturmbot for use on Linux with DOD on My steam deck. Be great if you could accept my invite and maybe I can message you more details. Thanks in advance - Matt

Thanks for helping keep DoD alive.

@DJ I suppose the "orange" maps started with the small "aim" style maps in CS 1vs1 and such, I think that evolved into "orange" in dod:s with "dod_bsl" made sometime late 2005-2006 and took off during late 2006 and by 2007 a lot of these remakes like dod_orange were made and spread to TF2 and other games.
The .wad file that is the orange texture "Cton_Orange" has a date of Dec 11 2007... https://gamebanana.com/mods/6670 by a person called Zoe101. (insurgency mapper I think)

Looking at the internet archive on old mapping sites I see the map dod_bsl started to appear in August 2006.

Good luck finding who or what "BSL" was :) I couldn't find any dod connections.

Ah it seems when i read your credit i misinterpreted it as bsl being in his name and part of the clan i know that BSL was the original creators of orange and whenever i have free time i tey to dig around for into thought i found something bur aparently not lol thank you for responding

@DJ The oldest map I can find of the "dev textured maps" goes back to "dod_bsl" that has dates going back to early-mid 2006 where all others seem to be in 2007.

Is "c-ton" is a member of BSL?

Who BSL were isn't known but it seems "BSL" was a clan, made some simple maps and they took off from dod, then CSS and TF2. "c-ton" has a Gamebanana account... https://gamebanana.com/mods/138248

You can see a "famous" map "dod_orange_ctf" that was "inspried by" a DSL map.

Who were "BSL" ?

Don't know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzQ1sGAmIZ4

Whoever made dod_bsl it looks like that was likely the start of "orange" maps.

Hey strange question i saw one of your comunity posts talking about uploading a map pack with Sturmbot waypoints and i saw one of the credits on the maps was c-ton - BSL do you know if the BSL was the clan that he was a part of and if so the name maybe even cton himselfs profile

@[2CG]-CybaPunk... oh yes please any info' to improve dod (server ops) is always appeciated.

@ cNr | PERUIBE What you could do is use the Profiles files and set the team there. I take it you want that for a human versus bots set up? See this page on editing "Profiles" of bots manually... https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods/rcbot2-for-dod-s/editing-the-bot-profile-files-manually

Hi broder! I need a little help! How i do bots Join only axies? Plugin?

i got it working using a config.ini in the metamod folder i can maybe write a tutorial up for you as its easier than messing with HLDS shortcuts. and you can chuck her on your website if you wanted to

This guide was written for a dedicated server to put on a windows Home network (LAN) but the steps should work for a online server too... https://sturmbot.org/index.php/dod-turtorials/day-of-defeat-server-guides/103-day-of-defeat-steam-win-dedicated-server-at-home

Is your OS windows or Linux? Sturmbot with Linux is not good. Shrikebot ...maybe.

hey mate im a new friend of Bullet Lotterys and trying to get Sturmbot to cooperate with Metamod and no luck, is it fruitless or should i just stick to rcon and if if theres any other admin mods you reccomend
trying to keep these old games alive for aussies / kiwi's to enjoy

No problem @Lukas52527, if they we more honest his would not be a issue. The more people know about who they are the better. It's the abuse of other server IP's, the admins using plugins against the server visitors... and the stealing of server names, fake servers and stealing players steam authentication that makes them... unsafe. They say their servers are "full"... the reality is they are full of bots and crap plugin's.

It's pathetic, and unsafe to go on any of their bot servers.

+rep Thank you for clarify me to the current situation of the Fast Path servers

stop posting porn on my profile dudstar

https://www.dodbits.com/downloads/posts/fastpath_scum/profile_spam.jpg

Here are Fastpath servers.... the "players" with "0" scores are bots, they have no waypoints so they stay in spawn....
https://www.dodbits.com/downloads/posts/fastpath_scum/Bots-stuck-in spawn-custom-server-fastpath-.jpg

About 20 bots. Of couse there could be becuase dod_strand Allied spawn on the beach.

Looks more like 23 bots on fastpaths "full" custom server.

Pathitic, no wonder they are listed last in the server list, all bots and admins using exploits on Fastpath.

@ KissHUN *;--;* Yes it is a pity, it's this that worries me...

Read the reports of attacks, stealing information.

That was the Fastpath IP a while back...
https://web.archive.org/web/20220406095441/https://www.fastpath.fr/

Obviously reading the reports of IP abuse if they went to those lengths, breaking into other servers... and stealing steam auth's proceed to use them and.... pretend they don't run bots... when they obviously do, then cover that to get a server rank.

Then use fake servers to redirect and... ask for payment to unban players.

It is way past safe, it has fraud written all over it.


Their "Admins" are foul mouthed trolls, them and their server manager never comment on why they scan ports of other servers and steal real players names.

It's obviously a scam operation....because the don't answer the questions asked by the community.

congrat for the 20 year

as for fastpath server, its sad to se how low they are get over the years, last time( 2 years ago) i played on their server regularly, and it was a every day normal dedicated server with real people and many voice chat screams/rage :D

what a shame

Fastpath server owners are "abusing" game servers IP's?

They need to answer this issue.

They never answer but clearly they are involved in some grubby tactics against the community.

Grubs...stay away from fastpath.fr and their game servers.

No wonder no game server directory will not rate them.
They don't meet basic community standard's.

Avoid.

AMX plugins perhaps? https://www.amxmodx.org/compiler.php?mod=1&cat=0&plugin=parachute&author=&go=search

@ Pfc. T. Scary [1st MRB] Good question. So we are talking about bots using a key here. There is a door waypoint where they are using the "use key" https://sturmbot.org/index.php/sturmbot-tutorials/strumbot-waypoint-tutorials/88-the-updated-sturmbot-waypoint-tutorial-by-rich-weeds-nagel#Door_Waypoint

Next is a jump I suppose, the spacebar but they only have a "Crouch /Jump Waypoint" ... https://sturmbot.org/index.php/sturmbot-tutorials/strumbot-waypoint-tutorials/88-the-updated-sturmbot-waypoint-tutorial-by-rich-weeds-nagel#Crouch_Jump

Is there a way to get Sturmbots to use the parachute?
