About Bots

[Hanch Saode]

So, there are bots in the game I noticed....

 

I wondered what one could do with these bots....can you control them anymore than just adding and kicking them??

 

Are there any other functions?? Such as place of respawn and all sorts of things like that...are there???

 

Thx

You can also edit the following physically inside the bot's .jkb file:

 

reflex.

accuracy.

turnspeed.

turnspeed_combat.

maxturn.

perfectaim. (1 means the bot WILL NOT miss. And trust me, they're not kidding. )

chatability.

chatfrequency.

hatelevel.

camper.

saberspecialist.

forceinfo <string of numbers. Not quite sure what powers each number corresponds to>

Weapon Weights (syntax is WP_WEAPON_NAME #. Controls what weapon a bot prefers to use).

Messages (Died, Killed, GeneralGreetings, OrderAccepted)

 

To view the base ones, look in the assets0.pk3 file in the Gamedata\base folder using Winzip for the bot's .jkb file, then open it in Notepad. All third-party ones should come in the .pk3, if the skin has bot support.

 

Edit: To my knowledge, bots spawn using points specified in the map or an external script. I'm not sure if you can specify it in the console.

You can also use this program to create bots.

Ahhh, that also. The thing of it is, that program is just a simplified shell version of doing exactly what I just said, not unlike behavED with Single Player and a few MP commands.

 

For now, take teleguy's solution; when you're more confidant with bots, you can try it by hand.

Ouch....

Will try playing a little with all this
