SHRIKEBOT.COM

Start TOD or DOD with your favorite map, and add bots to your game. There are three major ways to do this: pre-defining bots from the “shrikebot.cfg”, adding them in game from the menu, or directly from the console.

From menu, press “=” when in game. The bot menu will appear letting you add, kick or fill server.

To do it directly, bring down console (press “~”) and type “addbot”. Addbot has 4 optional arguments. The supported arguments are described below:

addbot - will add a bot using a random team, regular class, and the default bot skill level.

addbot <team> - will add a bot to the specified team (1 or 2) using a regular class and the default bot skill level.

addbot <team> <class> - will add a bot using the specified team, the specified class number (1 - 10) and the default bot skill level.
*Note class number is specific to which type of map or mod.
ie. Brit teams have only 1 to 4 as class and para axis have 1 to 10 and for tod it is 1 to 7.(see below)

addbot <team> <class> <skill> - will add a bot using the specified team, specified class and the specified bot skill level.

addbot <team> <class> <skill> <name> - will add a bot using the specified team, specified class, the specified bot skill and specified player name.

The team number MUST be 1 or 2.

The class number MUST be 1 to 8 for team 1

The class number MUST be 1 to 10 for team 2

The bot skill level can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (1 being the best skilled and 5
being the worst skilled and 6 is random skill).

The player name can be any valid player name (without spaces or quotes).

For example, "addbot 2 11 4 Mojo" (without the quotes) adds a bot to team 2 (NVA team), using class 11 (vc-sniper), using skill level 4 with a player named "Mojo".

Predefined bots from the “shrikebot.cfg”.

You can add predefined bots to your “shrikebot.cfg” and there are already examples included.

The “shrikebot.cfg” is located in [Your Mod]/shrikebot/ (i.e. C:\Sierra\Half-Life\tod\shrikebot\). Open the config file with notepad or any other text editor you might use. You can add up to 32 bots in the config file. Use the “addbot” as described above and add as many addbot lines as you want. Comment out lines you don't want executed by adding a # in front of it.

Example:

addbot 1 4 5 “John”
addbot 1 7 2 “Mike”
addbot 2 3 5 “Hungloo”
addbot 2 5 5 “Tang”
etc etc etc
