code:{
	name		Twizzles
	aiming		0
	perfection	0
	reaction	100
	isp		0
	color		"ff 66 99"
	skin		base

}

A sample zcajun bot in the bots.cfg

If you want good bots though, you should really go with Doombot, Skulltag, or ZDaemon though... ZDoom's bots seem excessively... stupid.

i copy pasted what you wrote into a file i made named "bots.cfg" in the same directory zdoomgl is in, and got the same result; " couldn't spawn bot; no bot left in bots.cfg " suggestions anybody?

You sure it's saved as bots.cfg and not bots.cfg.txt? Do this to check:

code:Start

Run

cmd

cd <replace me without the brackets with your bots.cfg directory>

dir /p

Now if your bots.cfg file says really bots.cfg.txt, or whatever, do this:

code:
rename bots.cfg.<extension> bots.cfg

bots.cfg needs to be in a separate folder named zcajun in the zdoomgl dir
