Copy doom2.wad into this directory. (You must already have a copy of Doom II to use DoomBot program.) -------------------- Playing Instructions -------------------- I. DEATHMATCH To play the DoomBot use the following command line: doombot.bat -warp is a map number. To play on the map01 you can start Doombot without "-warp " parameter. To add a bot type 'addbot' in the console. If you want to use 'b' key to add bots, type 'bind b addbot'. Use 'removebots' command to remove all bots. * New node system * To start Doombot with the new node system use one of the following files: botmap16.bat (doom2.wad, map16) bottnt01.bat (tntgrvnc.wad, map01) bottnt18.bat (tntgrvnc.wad, map18) yardz.bat (yardz.wad, map01) botgoth.bat (gothic2.wad, map11) To use bottnt01.bat, bottnt18.bat or botgoth.bat you must have TNT Grievance and GothicDM2 wads. These wads are available at the DoomBot download page. To make node tables for the DoomBot, you need DoomBot v3.0. Download it and read nodes.txt. * Teamplay * Console commands for teamplay: * teamplay <0|1> 0 : no teams, usual deathmatch 1 : teamplay * team is the team that you belong to. * botteam is the team that a bot belong to. * botcolor <0-10> set the color of a bot For example, to creat a teamplay game type in the cosole: teamplay 1 - set teamplay mode team doomers - you belong to "doomers" team now color "bf 00 00" - your color is red botteam doomers \ botcolor 6 - spawn a bot (color - red(bf 00 00), team - "doomers") addbot / botteam quakers \ botclor 7 - spawn two bots (color - blue(00 00 ff), addbot - team - "quakers") addbot / II.
