zdoom - "no bots left in bots.cfg" - argh!

even with the doom2 iwad, and making my own bots.cfg with the appropriate lines (nfi why zdoom didn't come with the file). What's going on?

I don't know, what you have been doing exactly (And i'm also not really sure, what exactly you want to do).

Did you store your bots.cfg in the 'cajun' subfolder?

Anyhow, i recommend the safe way from scratch.
(There are many better ways, of course, but, well...)

- Download ZDOOM v1.22 and 98.cab from zdoom.org.
- Create a new folder on your harddrive and put your IWAD into it.
- Extract first the content of the zip with zdoom 1.22 into that folder, and then the content of 98.cab, overwriting the preexisting files of the older version.
- Launch zdoom.
- Go to the console.
- type 'deathmatch 1'
- restart the level, maybe by killing yourself and then pressing 'space'
- Go to the console
- type repeatedly 'addbot' and be happy.

Oh, so you need to install 1.22 as well! And, I take it bots won't work in co-op?

Not really. It's just a way to make hundred percent sure, that everything works well.
Essentially, you need only an iwad, the files from 98.cab, and a fully functional bots.cfg in the 'cajun' -subfolder.

And, I take it bots won't work in co-op?

I don't know.

They do work. Only they're bastards for stealing all the ammo.

Looking at my install, it should be zcajun, not cajun.

Shame on me!
You're correct!
