Spawns a retarded yet perfect shooting bot.

Ya there are alot of commands that are pretty cool but unfortunately dont work in MP.

Be nice to be able to spawn a few bots in a server to keep me entertained until other players come!

There is oakbot and sabot (stupid angry bot)for doom 3 and quake 4.
Shouldnt be that hard to get them to run in prey,since its the same engine and all.

However,i dont know how well the AI would work with wall walking.

[TTK-Bandit]

why port another bot, if there is already a bot inside ?

[Circus]

LOL! This does work in MP if you first use in the ded server console seta net_allowcheats "1" or net_allowcheats "1"

Then use in the ded server console spawnartificialplayer

Dam there pretty good too!

I want to use this in a listen server though.
Wonder if there is enough request,we can get it enabled in a patch?

[TTK-Bandit]

they work on listenservers too.. just enable cheats.

I used this command in MP.
net_allowcheats 1
spawnartificialplayer
spawnartificialplayer
spawnartificialplayer
net_allowcheats 0

So i play now with 3 bot's in Mp. But when the map rotate, the bot's are gone.
Anybody know's how to script this command, so it loads everytime when a map rotate?

Good, so it was really what I though, i.e. bots.

Pretty cool - even if those aren't so advanced - 'cause it means that it will be included in the SDK...

Wollie: the cool thing is that you can put your commands in a .cfg script, for instance "spawn3bots.cfg", then make a bind to a key to execute this one ingame (ex.: bring down the console with Ctrl + Alt + ², then type bind F12 "exec spawn3bots.cfg"), it should work but I can't test it yet...

Now to auto exec the script each time a map is rotated, you should try to find in the .pk4 resources files a .cfg script that call each map to be loaded (In Quake4, such a file is located in the "cfg/mpmaps.cfg" script, in the "pak001.pk4" file): then maybe you can add some

exec spawn3bots.cfg

line to it for each map section...

Can someone correct/confirm this ?

whre the hell can u type that ??? iv tried ''`'' and normal speak but i cant find it

[CameO73]

Type Ctrl-Alt-~ to get the console.

Or, if you just want to use the ~, use the seta com_allowconsole 1 command once. After that, you only have to use the ~.

Huh, sorry, I'm on an AZERTY keyboard
