doom bots

[ruffj05]

hey all, i use zdoomGL, and to use bots on it, you have to have a bots.txt file or something, which isnt included. ill make my own bot, i just need to know what a blank bots.txt file looks like. ya know, the format of it or whatever. help'd be appreciated, thanx.

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:

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:

rename bots.cfg.<extension> bots.cfg 

[ruffj05]

its not .cfg.txt, and i have "show file extensions" on so i knew it from the start.

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

oh lord you were right, zdooms bots are about as smart as a slice of pizza. they dont even open doors! how pathetic. i have zdaemon, so do i have to use a different code for zdaemons bots? id rather use zdaemon, so help me with them if you can, thanks.

ZDaemon is built off of ZDoom, so setting up the bots are exactly the same.
