Hi, I'm in the process of creating a server, and I can not find a way to rename the bots that comes standard Q3A.

Comment I have the server on a PC (WinXP), customers are on other PCs on the same LAN.

Someone knows the solution?

Greetings and thanks in advance.

Make a file that you exec

Something like TwoBots.cfg

content :

addbot Anarki 5 blue 100 ZerObot

addbot MrGauntlet 5 blue 100 SawBaby

exec from commandline

Two bots in team blue with your chosen names

Re: Change botnames in server

Thanks for your answer, but this solution is only for the current game.

I'm looking for something that can be deployed to the server settings, something automatic (for the load command line, pk3 file or similar)

Thanks again.

Re: Chamge botnames in sever

I dont know if you meant this but heres some example for you:

set g_gametype 3

put this in your crontab.txt file:

*/5 * * * *    /say ^7George is comming...
*/5 * * * *    /addbot sarge 3 200 red ^3George
*/2 * * * *    /say ^7John is comming...
*/2 * * * *    /addbot gauntlet 5 200 blue ^7John

and this put into your rotation.txt file on the top:

\k allbots

during the current map after 2 & 5 minutes 1 bot will enter the arena

after each map all the bots would be kicked

or you can add into your server cfg line:
/exec bots.cfg

add into bots.cfg

addbot sarge 3 200 red ^3George
addbot gauntlet 5 200 blue ^7John

Re: Change botnames in server

Thank you very much for the replies.
Sorry, I have not expressed correctly what I want,

Because the server already has a self balancing bots, you need is a way to permanently change the names of the bots that come in pak0.pk3 (similar to what the hiszy servers with bots).

Thanks a lot.

ah if you mean same as hiszy then to your information only, owner of this server uses self modified ioquake3 version, so i think your request isnt possible on standard 1.32c

Re: Chamge botnames in sever

Here is how you can define a set of custom bots in Excessive Plus.

Add to server.cfg

set bot_minplayers 2
 
// only allow special bots
set g_botsFile "mybots.txt"
set g_spSkill "5"

Create the mybots.txt file

{
    name      gauntlet
    model     tankjr/blue
    funname   ^3Mr.^tGauntlet
    aifile    bots/gauntlet_c.c
}

This will add Mr.Gauntlet to your server once there are less than 2 players. If there are more bots defined in the mybots.txt, a random one will be picked each time.

You can assign any arbitrary funname.
