I downloaded smong's damage-bot which comes with the damage module in one .dll file. However, I cannot get the module to load.
The log says it could not find damage:damage, which puzzles me because that is exactly what the text file it came with says to add.

I'm actually a little unclear as to where the name of the module in the .dll file comes from to begin with. Is it the name of the original .c file?

In any case, for some reason the damage module will not load. I have tried compiling it myself and even skipping the damage:damage module to see if I can load the damage:bot1d module (despite knowing it will not work), any info on what's going on here?

oops, I am aware it's bot1 and not bot1d and did try to load
damage:bot1

but yeah, it doesn't load.

damage:damage should be right. Are you sure the .dll is in the bin folder?

The name comes from the EXPORT macro in the modules sources. Most of the time, it is named the same as the .c file. But one .c file could contain multiple or even none.

Look for something like this:

Code: Show/Hide EXPORT int MM_mymodule (int action, Imodman *mm_, Arena *arena)

I might have found the problem: the module was designed for ASSS 1.4.3.
I don't see why it wouldn't load, but it's possible.
I am trying to get a module that makes a bot that can shoot and take damage and die for 1.4.4. The one I downloaded (smong's) was designed for 1.4.3. Is there a newer version somewhere?

I've seen that thread, the problem is that package only has the damage module and not the bot1 module. (I think)

unlike damage, the sources for bot1 are available. So you can recompile it for ASSS 1.4.4:
