Q2RFDi
How to set it up
The first time you run Q2RFDi, it will try to retrieve your Q2 folder and it will search for al the maps that are installed. This might take a minute.
After the map processing, you'll see a tree with all your maps.
If this isn't the case, than it means that Q2RFDi couldn't find the Quake2 folder. You'll have to click the 'options' button and type in the Quake2 path manually.
Your path must look like this:
'C:\quake2' or 'C:\progra~1\quake2'.
You just have to enter the path, no ending backslash and no filename.
Once you did this, return to the main screen, by clicking 'Ok' and click 'Update Tree'.You'll also have to make sure the mod folders are correct. Go to 'Options' and enter the correct folder names of the mods. The foldername of the EraserBot is by default 'eraser'.
Unlike the Quake2 path, you just have to enter the name of the folder.You should end up with something similar to this:
If you're connected to the internet via a proxy, you'll need to enter the correct settings. Check 'Use proxy' and enter the address and the port of the proxy. For more info about proxies, check your internet browser.
Downloading routes, what it's all about
If you want to download routes, you'll have to tell the program which map and which bot you want a route for. By checking filenames in the tree, you select maps. By checking botnames you select the bot.
You can download as many maps for as many bots at the same time.
After choosing the maps/bots, hit the 'Download' button and sit back and relax.Q2RFDi has some other special download options. You can for example select all your maps, but only download the routes you don't have yet. This way you mustn't check if you already have a route. Just select all of them and use the appropriate option (in the options window).
Next to the bot names, there's a colored square. A green square means you have a route installed for that bot, for the currently selected map, a red means you don't.
