2. Loading the mod:
Run the batch file "Load Sabot" in the sabot folder.
Or load quake 4 and choose sabot from the mods menu.
NOTE: You'll be able to tell if the mod has loaded successfully by typing:
gamename
At the console, is should say gamename is "SABot a8".
3. Adding a bot
Start a new multiplayer server
To add a bot bring down the console (via the CTRL-ALT-TILDE (~) keys) and type:
addbot bot_sabot
Note: addbot command works like the spawn command, eg accepts key/value pairs.
Tip: Typing addbot bot_<TAB> will give you a list of bot defs.
4. Removing a bot
Use the console command:
removebot n
Where n is the id of the bot.
= Bot difficulty =
Bots aim accuracy or "drunkenness factor" can be set when bot is added with the key/value "aim_accuracy", higher value = less accurate.
Range [0-4]
You can slow down bots aim a bit with key/value "aim_rate" default is 0.5 with less being slower. Range [0.1-1]
Example:
addbot bot_sabot aim_accuracy 3 aim_rate 0.4
= Teams =
The team of the bot can be specified with the team key/value. 0 = Marine, 1 = strogg Note: autobalance may override this.
You can force bot's to change team via the normal admin menu.
= Customising =
Bots can be customised as they are added (as seen above) or via def file.
The bots read all ui_* key/value like a player.
These include:
ui_name - For the name of the bot
ui_clan
ui_model
ui_hitscanTint
Examples:
addbot bot_sabot ui_name "Fluffy Bunny" ui_model "model_player_marine_tech"
Some of the above setting are in their own character def files, the can be added with:
addbot bot_sabot_tinman
addbot bot_sabot_blackstar
addbot bot_sabot_fluffy
Have a look at the file sabot/def/bot_sabot_characters.def for the examples.
