Can you maybe post the file for your zombie bot? Maybe try comparing it with that of a normal bot like Admiral?

I pasted that into Notepad and named it Zombie.BOT and it seemed to work fine...?
Not sure if this would help at all, but you could try and download the one I created by right-clicking and saving to the bots directory: Clickyy

nope, they still stand still for me.

should bots have registered marks next to their name by the way? i noticed that my custom bots do on my server, but my ordinary bots dont

I noticed you were using Dedicated Server 2.2.9, so I downloaded that onto my comp and ran it through the network and got the same problem as you (Where it didn't do anything but kept connecting/disconnecting.)

I will try some other settings and see if I can get it to work.

Edit: Ok, I got the Zombie bot to work..turns out, Dedicated server doesn't like it when you use 'cl' colors in the botfile (so clRed and clOlive won't work)

here is the settings I used to get it working:
[code][BOT]
Name=A Zombie
Color1=$00796938
Color2=$00796938
Skin_Color=$4227200
Hair_Color=$00000040
Favourite_Weapon=Hands
Secondary_Weapon=0
Friend=
Accuracy=1
Shoot_Dead=1
Grenade_Frequency=10000
Camping=0
OnStartUse=255
Hair=4
Headgear=0
Chain=0
Chat_Frequency=36
Chat_Kill=Yum, Brains.....
Chat_Dead=Errrrrrrg......
Chat_Lowhealth=........
Chat_SeeEnemy=BRAINS!!!
Chat_Winning=Mmmmm......[/code]

I just used a random color for skin/hair color, you could try finding another way of using red and olive for colors.
