These can be automaticlly made using a program that comes with the tourney mod called winbspc. It's a file that holds all of the paths in the map for them. aas file residing in your tourney folder for the map you want them to play. The bots right out of the box have a variety of playstyles and levels of skill, so they kind of emulate playing different people.įor those you will need an. It has pretty good documentation and the config files are named and well commented so you can figure out what stuff is fore pretty easily. In terms of setup, bots like gladiator and eraser are the easiestįor gladiator bots you can run a local server using the OSP tourney mod, configure the server how you want and launch it using a little frontend pretty simply after a little bit of fiddling around. My clanmate Dervish has them loaded on the clans 2 servers, maybe he'll see this and offer a hand.

I have no idea where to get it or how to use it. There isn't one bot out there for Q2 that's gonna do all the things that a human opponent might do with movement, item control, and situational weapon selection.įrom what little I've seen of bots, the gladiator bots seem to be the best one out there. it's always preferable to play against human opponents. Not knocking that server at all, it's a great addition to the network for times when no one's on and you just HAVE to play. Hop on the tastyspleen zigbot server if you want a quick example of how retarded bots can be. The skill settings on most bots really doesn't effect their weapon selection, defensive spam, or anything else. and they keep running away the whole time. Unfortunately what it means to have a tougher game against bots in Q2 is that you jack up their 'skill' setting which really only effects how ridiculously accurate they are with their shots like when they are running AWAY FROM you, you round a corner behind them, and they instantly flick 180degrees and nail you with a railgun. I'm not sure on the specific technicals of it, but it seems like because the technology that produced Quake2 was so unadvanced, the intelligence levels of any bots for Q2 is gonna be pretty awful.
