Marine Bot 0.96 Beta

And Marine Bot 0.96b is released now. It was fun for me making it and hopefully it will be fun for you playing Firearms with this new Marine Bot version. As always Marine Bot homepage at http://marinebot.xf.cz has the full changelog for this release. Be prepared for a huge list this time. All I'll mention here is that there was a waypoint system upgrade for this release so if you happen to have ancient waypoints from MB 0.8b times in your current Marine Bot installation, you should convert and save them before switching to the new version of Marine Bot. Because MB 0.96b isn't able to read such old waypoints anymore. Head over to MB homepage to the Support section where you can find more about this case in the FAQ. Alternatively, the same FAQ is also part of the release package. Have fun!

Marine Bot 0.95 Beta

After almost two years of development Marine Bot 0.95b has been released. The most important change I want to point out is the new configuration system. I mention this here because of the fact that it is NOT compatible with the old .cfg files you may have used till now. I'm sorry, but you will have to rework all your custom .cfg files in order to continue using them with this version of Marine Bot. The full change log can be found at http://marinebot.xf.cz together with the 2 updated .cfg files you will need if you want to use the new version of Marine Bot in Firearms 2.5 or 2.4. Enjoy the game with Marine Bot 0.95b.

Marine Bot 0.94 Beta

Marine Bot 0.94b finally reached the release stage. As always you can find the change log on Marine Bot homepage at http://marinebot.xf.cz This time I have added also the source code for liblist.gam utilities that I'm using to install Marine Bot to Firearms and/or return the mod back to original state. Actually the utilities are in the code repository as a part of MB0.91b release source code, but this way they will be easy to reach for everyone. Have fun with latest version of Marine Bot!

Marine Bot 0.93 Beta

It took me a few years, but here is a new version of Marine Bot. Like the previous release even this one is mostly about fixing bugs. Full list of changes can be found at marinebot.xf.cz together with updated waypointing manual and two things I've found in my backups. Both are Marine Bot 0.9b ports. One is quite known port for The Battle Grounds 1.2.1 and the other one is a test version for Global Warfare 1.5. If you happen to have one or the other mod feel free to try them, but keep in mind that both ports are based on MB 0.9. That means that both ports are missing all the new additions from latest Marine Bot for Firearms. Anyways have fun. And see you in couple years from now ... hopefully :)

Marine Bot 0.92 Beta

First of all this isn't a true release like it used to be back in the days when Marine Bot was under active development. This version is basically just a small update. It's a work I've done during winter two years ago. It's not a new start. Just that I promised to release it. Well it took me quite some time to do so, but it's online now. There are just two files this time. The win32 .zip package and then the source code .zip package. I'm unable to put together all the other packages that used to be available back in the days this was an active project. Hopefully the linux people will be able to compile the .so using the source codes.... read more

Marine Bot 0.91 Beta

First of all I'm really sorry that this site has been out of date for such a long time. Things happened and could not be taken back.

I've finally found the time and the will to update the files here. The problem was I haven't had neither of these files in my backups so I couldn't recover them easily. Thanks god Marine Bot has a great guy who can safe the whole situation. Yes many thanks to Drek for keeping all the files backed up. Now you all have the 0.91 Windows, Linux and even the source codes packages here and I've also mirrored them at http://marinebot.xf.cz/... read more

Marine Bot 0.82 Beta Released

My apologies for the delay, we've been having some internal issues and the release of HL2 has proved a big distraction, but today we released MB 0.82, for more information see our website on http://www.marinebot.tk

Marine Bot 0.81 Released

Marine Bot 0.81 has been released, both for Linux and Windows. We have been lax in keeping our news up to date on Source Forge, so we have actually been through a major release, 0.80, since the last update was posted here. 0.81 is a small patch to fix some problems, and we have also, finally, released the Linux version.

A big thank you to all the Marine Bot Team for their hard work, and specifically to Frank McNeil for his work as the creator, coder, and project leader for Marine Bot. For a full changelog, as well as links to our official forums, please visit our official website at:... read more

MB0.7b Linux release and source codes

As we promised here are the new recipes from our kitchen, the
MB0.7beta Linux release and the MB0.7beta source code. This MB Linux
version isn't as rock solid stable as we would like it to be. This is
due to the fact that we lost one linux tester so we weren't able to
test our Linux build as thoroughly as we would have hoped to. The
problem is that the server hangs from time to time. This happens
during map changes and is a completely random event. Sometimes the
server runs smoothly for hours and sometimes it will hang after a few
maps.... read more
