BOTINFO

BOTINFO is a lump used to define bots in Zandronum. Bots are defined between closing and opening braces, like so:

{
    Properties...
}

Properties

The following properties can be used when defining a bot.

• name

The name of your bot. Can be used with print color codes.

• script

The bot script to use with the bot. Bot scripts give bots certain properties, such as making them slower or taunt more often. Allowed values for Zandronum 3.0: CRASHBOT, DFULTBOT, FATBOT, HUMANBOT, SAUSGBOT

• chatfile

The path and filename to the Bot's chat file usually in \bots\chatfiles\. Long filenames may cause a crash.

• gender

The gender of your bot. Can be male, female or neither.

• color

The skin color of the bot in "RR GG BB" format.

• railcolor

The color of the bot's Railgun. Possible values are blue, red, green, silver, gold, yellow, purple, black, white, orange and rainbow.

• skin

The skin of the bot, either defined in S_SKIN or SKININFO.

• class

The prefered Class of the bot. For Hexen it can be Random, Fighter, Cleric or Mage. Custom player classes are supported too. Remember to type the class' display name rather than its ACTOR name.

• revealed

Determines if the bot is 'hidden' from selection in the 'Select bots' list in Skirmish. Can be true or false.

• favoriteweapon

The bot's favorite weapon. The bot will usually try to get their weapon first.

• chatfrequency

How often the bot will say things from chatfile or chatlump. Value can be 1 to 100.

• chatlump

An alternative to chatfile, which is instead a lump inside the wad file.

• accuracy

How accurate the bot is with hitscan weapons. Value can be 0 to 4.

• intellect

How "smart" the bot is. Smarter bots will be able to predict where to fire projectile weapons and hit dodging players better. Values can be 0 to 4. (The incorrect spelling "intelect" also works)

• evade

How well the bot can dodge projectiles. Values can be 0 to 4.

• anticipation

How well the bot can anticipate shots from hitscan weapons. Value can be 0 to 4.

• reactiontime

How well the bot can react to what is happening (being shot at etc). Value can be 0 to 4.

• perception
