Hi,

Is there a way to limit the Bot's weapon selection to one or two weapons?

We want to play a zombie match. It's basically a team game where the bots are all in one team and only allowed to use chain saw's while the humans can only use the spas or pistols. Bots ussually outnumber the humans 4 to 1.

Can anyone help?

There's no way to limit a bot's weapon selection, but you can create your own bot, with his own taunts and weapon of choice; and yes, it will work online. :P

Easiest way to do this would be P.Eter's Soldat Bot Maker.

Ok, heres how: when starting the match, join alpha team and type this in:
/addbot2 boogie man

after you type that in, and prress enter, boogieman should spawn in bravo team. Press the / button twice and it reloads the previous command. Just keep doing it until you have enough zombies.

Make sure u only allow the Spas, Socom and Chainsaw in the game.

Thanks,
Before i read your post i went and made copies of "boogie man.bot" and renamed them all to Zombie.
But i like your method better :)

any way you can add the bots in batches?


Thank you,
Jan

What if you only make Spas, Socom and chainsaw available and make the chainsaw each bots fav weapon. Should do the trick.

But does anyone know - though the saw may be the bots fav weapon, will it ever use another weapon like Spas.

Lol, know u cant add bots in batches. just keep adding the bots rlly fast, but make sure u dont 'overdo' it.

Otherwise, you might foul it up..

The only time when the bot will use a gun is when his chainsaw drops and he accidently picks up a gun, then he'll shoot it.

Highly unlikely, u'll kill him first or he'll saw u. Just dont use the physcannon mod i made, or else it becomes insanely hard to kill boogie man.

Or they'll get flame god. So disable that too. LAst thing u want is boogieman with a flamethrower.. Also, make sure u turn off the powerups except for vest and nades.

Felt the flame god's wrath. not good. Adding to many bots , not good :)

one thing that was disapointing though was on some maps Zombie (aka boogie man - i Renamed a copy of him) either got stuck or could not make it up to a ledge where you could park off and take em out.

for example arena 3. at the bottom of the map on top of those hut thinghies. They seldom get up there. We were 2 using pistals spas and grenades and outnumbered 10 to 1 and we still kicked ass.

ITs because of the bot waypoints. Try this, go into arena, turn on realistic mode and see how you fare against boogie man...its tough.

Because its a custom made bot. Use Boogie man instead, or rename the boogie man file to zombie.

use a bot maker program or just edit the bot in notepad.

IIRC ARSSE supports macroing, so it may be possible to add bots in batches that way.

dont go over 15 zombies, otherwise the server tends to get horrendously laggy
