Adding bots to a game

First tell the server to allow bots, press tilde (~) to open the console and type:

/bot_enable 1

and start the server through the appropriate menu choices

If the server is already running:

/reload

then you can start to add the bot(s):

/addbot <type> <level> <team> <ping> <server nick>

the <type> should use one of the following bot file names:

boa
cheetah
chicken
cobra
c ockroach (<== space between the C and the O added to pass BB filters)
cougar
goose
mantis
penguin
puma
python
raven
scarab
scorpion
tiger
widow

<level> should be between 1 (n00bish) - 5 (malevolent)

so the following would add a level 4 bot called "=lvl4=Puma" to the blue team:

/addbot Puma 4 Blue 76 =lvl4=Puma

Each bot type has it's own weapon load out - Puma for example uses a LR300ML + Spas + Baretta
combo. By making sure at least 1 bot has the same weapons as you, you'll never run out of ammo.

Tactically, the bots are not very bright, and you can't give them orders like q3 bots, however they do
use the same evasion techniques (varying levels of crouching, bunny hopping and strafing) as live
players, with varying levels of aggression.

Bot configuration files

If you want to add more than one bot at a time, you might want to make a .cfg file which you save to
your q3ut4 directory
[pre]

/====== sample_bot.cfg======

addbot C ockroach 4 Blue 76 =lvl4=C ockroach

addbot Cheetah 4 Blue 56 =lvl4=Cheetah
addbot Cobra 4 Blue 45 =lvl4=Cobra
addbot Penguin 4 Blue 89 =lvl4=Penguin
addbot Puma 4 Blue 89 =lvl4=Puma
addbot Puma 1 Blue 89 =lvl1=Puma

/====== sample_bot.cfg======

[/pre]

get the server to load this by simply typing

/exec <filename>

Note while the example above tries to add bots to the blue team - the server will spread them evenly on
both teams - so add an even number or face the chagrin of continually getting pwned at spawn, by bots.

As mentioned before, the bots mimic certain aspects of real life, in teams they will mimic certain
aspects of team life, like occasionally tking you for no reason, ignoring calls for backup or medic, and
appearing to be AFK at spawn.

Removing bots

/kick <nick>

If you have more than 1 bot, or you can't be arsed typing whatever l33t nick you gave that 1 bot you
added, you can use this to take all bots off the server:

/kick allbots

though be warned the server checks for nick matches in the player list first, so player 'allbots' would
probably not be too happy with you, having been bumrushed off the server for no apparent reason.

Maps for running bots

Not every map in UT4 has bot support, the following do, sort of -

Abbey
Algiers
Austria
Dressing room
Firing Range
Mandolin *
Riyadh
Prague*
Toxic*
Uptown

Some maps work better than others - the maps marked with an asterisk are maps where the bots have
trouble getting out of the spawn points.

The maps I've found most useful in upping my game are :

Firing range - good for close quarters practice

Riyadh - add several bots for sniper target practice
Algiers - for finding sweet spots on the map to fire from cover
Dressing room - for mixed terrain levels + varying range battles - though bots will fall into the river in
the middle and remain in there.

start server

2.Luego habiendo iniciado la partida abrimos una consola

alt gr + 4

3.Escribimos:

/bot_enable 1

4.Reiniciamos la partida

/reload
5.Agregamos los bots

/addbot <bot> <nivel> <equipo>

6.En <bot> pondremos elegir entre estos bots disponibles:

boa
cheetah
chicken
cobra
cockroach
cougar
goose
mantis
penguin
puma
python
raven
scarab
scorpion
tiger
widow

(cada bot tiene armas y equipamiento diferente)

7.Nivel

podrá ser de entre 1 y 5

8.Ejemplo:

/addbot raven 5 red

(este seria un bot sniper de nivel 5)

9.Para elimirar los bots:

/kick <bot> (para eliminar un bot especifico)

/kick allbots (para eliminar todos los bots)

Lista de mapas en que funcionan bien los bots:

en algunos mapas los bots se quedan mirando hacia al cielo, en otros actuan muy torpemente o
simplemente no se pueden agregar. Por eso he creado una lista de mapas en los cuales los bots cumplen
un buen funcionamiento:

abbey
abbey ctf
algiers
austria
casa
dressing room
riyadh
sanctuary
turnpike terror

Yes there is. To add bots to a game:

• First tell the server to allow bots, press tilde (~) to open the console and type:

/bot_enable 1 and start the server through the appropriate menu choices

• If the server is already running, type:

/reload then you can start to add the bot(s):

• To add a bot, use the command:

/addbot <type> <level> <team> <ping> <server nick>

• The <type> should use one of the following bot file names:
• boa
• cheetah
• chicken
 • cobra
• c ockroach (<== space between the C and the O added to pass BB filters)
• cougar
• goose
• mantis
• penguin
• puma
• python
• raven
• scarab
• scorpion
• tiger
• widow
• The <level> should be an integer between 1 (n00bish) – 5 (malevolent)
• The <team> should be either Blue, or Red
• The <ping> is just a placeholder, put 76 in
• The <server nick> should be what you want to name the bot
• To recap, the following would add a level 4 bot called “ThePuma” to the blue team:
/addbot Puma 4 Blue 76 ThePuma

Each bot type has it’s own weapon load out – Puma for example uses a LR300ML + Spas +
Baretta combo. By making sure at least 1 bot has the same weapons as you, you’ll never run out
of ammo.
Tactically, the bots are not very bright, and you can’t give them orders like q3 bots, however
they do use the same evasion techniques (varying levels of crouching, bunny hopping and
strafing) as live players, with varying levels of aggression.
