AutoBot allows you to:- * Choose which of the different bots to launch. * Spawn X number of bots. * Select yer level. * Select the bots skill level. That's it really. ------------- Release Notes ------------- Currently AutoBot is limited to supporting only CR Bot,Eraser Bot & Stupid Bot. We may support more bots depending on the demand we receive and if the bot's programmer(s) are willing to work with us. ------------------ Installing AutoBot ------------------ Installing AutoBot is easy. It requires no additional files (other than Quake 2 itself). Just unzip and launch. Under the settings tab make sure you enter the path to your Quake 2 directory. -------------------- Uninstalling AutoBot -------------------- Just delete the AutoBot executable. No fuss. No mess. -------------- Things changed -------------- B1.5 Changed the way Autobot handles different quake2 directories. Should be better now as it also has a bit of error detection in it. B1.2 Changed the way the maps are handled internally - now more efficient Added support for all normal quake2 maps as well as the deathmatch ones B1.1 Fixed quake2 home directory problem Added support for Stupid Bot ---------- To do list ---------- + Launch with batch files parameters so you can use 3dfx environment strings. + Add support for teamplay in bots. + Storing user settings + Support for addon maps ----------------- Legal stuff ----------------- THIS SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS (INCLUDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE) ARE PROVIDES "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
