This started as an investigation into versions of Day of Defeat and what Sturnbot version is best. It is quite a tangled web but I think I have enough now to dumb it down to a simple table.
| Day of Defeat major Versions | The best Sturmbot windows version | The best Sturmbot Linux version |
|
Day of Defeat Ver 1.3 (latest) |
Sturmbot 1.9 (Hex-edited v 1.7b 11b with waypoint files updated in 2019) A manual install file is also available. |
Development stopped, this is the last version for linux. |
| Day of Defeat 3.1 Beta | Sturmbot version 1.5.1 | Linux version 1.5 |
| Day of Defeat 2.0 to 3.0 Beta | Sturmbot version 1.4 | Linux Version 1.4 |
| Day of Defeat 1.3 Beta | Sturmbot version 1.1 | None |
| Day of Defeat 1.2 Beta | Sturmbot version 0.8 | None |
| Day of Defeat 1.1 and 1.0 Beta | Sturmbot version 0.8 or try Sturmbot version 0.5 | None |
Disclaimer: I have tried some versions below dod 3.1 Beta, going by documentation and what I remember these are the best match.
The current version is Sturmbot version 1.9 (Sturmbot 1.7b 11b with fixes), along with version 1.6 for Linux and windows those can be used for the latest steam version, Windows Version 1.9 is best Linux version 1.6 is the only choice.
Below is what I found going through the actual file dates and readme files of the Sturmbot versions.
By the way those looking for a source code download... better read this first, the only code kept is too old.
If you see mistakes here or have some rare files I would love to hear from you contact me.
I will try and tidy this page up but here is a table with snippets of info' I found in the files.
If anyone has sturmbot version 1.5 Linux please contact me!

dod 1.3 Steam (latest steam version) Version 1.3 Released 30 June 2004 SteamPipe update - 30 Mar 2013 Best Sturmbot version 1.7 |
Sturmbot 1.9 (Hex-edited v 1.7b 11b with waypoint files updated in October 2019) A manual install file is also available. Optional file set- Ver 1.7b 11b. Best way is use my installer A manual install file is also available. Sturmbot version 17b 11b has a .dll date of 23 July 2004 The readme does not have a version listed, its because it was never finished I would say. Jowo gave that file out to a lead tester and it was released. There is a file made by Rich Nagel. It is actually V1.7 but named as V1.9 it is regarded as the best updated .dll file. Read why here. and also here. Other news. Original SturmBot website is up 24 May 2004 URL was :www.sturmbot.1dod.com Also version 1.6 should work but not recommended. For Linux you may have no option Install Ver 1.6 |

Day of Defeat 3.1 Beta ( Full Version Installer Here ) Released 8 Aug 2002 Best Sturmbot ver 1.5.1 Linux version 1.5
|
Sturmbot version 1.5.1 (Win) Sturmbot Linux version 1.5.1 Release date 12 Dec 2002 in some packages. It could be a ver 1.5. Version 1.5.1 has a .dll date 24 Nov 2002. The readme says... Sturmbot 1.5 is a "bot" plugin for the Half-Life mod, Day of Defeat version 2.0 or greater It is likely this version for windows and Linux is the best version to use from day of defeat version 2.0 up to Day of Defeat version 3.1 beta... some say this was the best dod ever made. I tend to agree. |

Day of Defeat 1.1 Beta Released 14 Feb 2001 Best Sturmbot ... could be ver 0.8 |
Try Sturmbot version 0.5 or 08. I have not tested these as the are... insanely old like me! |
See video above |
|
Day of Defeat 1.0 Beta Released 12 Jan 2001 ( Full Version Installer Here ) Mod fix Best Sturmbot ... could be ver 0.8 or 0.5 |
Possible that Version 0.5 was used on dod 1.0. Date of .dll is 31 July 2001 2 maps only... dod_caen and dod_cherbourg. The liblist.str file says its for... "ALPHA 1.0" // version of mod But in other versions of that file that matches Sturmbot "mod" not the dod "mod". |

|
The very early days. Various versions of early dod from ver 1 to ver 1.2 also have a couple of other bots. |
Other bots. No Sturmbot at this stage as far as I can tell. They do work I am told with some effort. BlitzBot 2.05 Alpha (lan only) BOC (Brain of Combat) has version |
