esf seems to be fine when i start it up and join a server first. but when theres a map change or i disconnect and join a diffrent server it causes an error in HL.exe and shuts off and im forced to restart my comp. i also get crashes on bots occasionally. i dont care as much about the bot crashes as i do the normal map/server change ones. i also had a back up esf folder that was right after i installed esf 1.1 and then i installed 1.2 again and it still happens. can anyone help?

Are you using OpenGL? If not, then use it.

And do the bots crash when you change this skill level of the bot, if so, then use the new menu (default key is SHIFT).

im having the same problem, but it only started recently....its very strange. i cant explain what happens! when i first installed 1.2 the bots that came with it were fine and dandy. i decided to try the new melee on them! what could go wrong? nothing thats what! so then since it was like 1 am and i had nothing better to do, i went to bed. i wake up today and make a lan game to practice on and POOF everything goes f---ed up. it only happens when i do 2 of the following:
1.when i use a small spirit bomb and its about to explode when hitting sumthing

and

2. when i look directly at a bot and swoop at him, the instant i start a swoop, the game freezes and replays the first 2 seconds of the sound effects currently playing on the screen.

could someone help me and this fine young (or old i dunno :S) man (or woman...i didnt look at who made it. whaaaat...) for making this thread for the EXACT problem i am to be having!
by the way... i tried using open gl on my half life but it says my video card dooes not support that mode, however i recently reformatted my computer (deleted everything on it and restarted) and all the times i played half life before that, i could use open gl. is there anything i can do to get my open gl back (if thats gunna fix this problem) or is there a bug the team forgot to fix?

No and yes. They screwsed up the gamedll.
Open up your liblist.gam and change the gamedll line to:

gamedll "dlls\hl.dll"

That seems to fix my crashing problems.

gamedll "esf_bot\esf_bot.dll"
gamedll_linux "linuxdlls/hl_i386.so"

Change gamedll "esf_bot\esf_bot.dll" to "dlls\hl.dll"

so it would be like this

gamedll "dlls\hl.dll"
gamedll_linux "linuxdlls/hl_i386.so"

You dont need the // as it will just ignore anything written there.

cldll "0"
type "multiplayer_only"
nomodels "1"

^ Thats the full liblist.gam for you, Inteam is something that happens with the bot.
