[TUTORIAL] How to Make Your Own Bots

[Blaze Yeager]

Will the bot work if it's in the skins folder?
i'm curious to know

[brawlman9876]

yes, it will, i know from it :P

[Max]

and it works perfectly fine YAY and boo at the same time, cuz my first attempt i did the exact same thing. only for some reason it stayed as the base bot. and my second attempt failed miserably. thanks for the help! Bumomomomo!

Don't make fun of me. That job in Powered Up was embarrasing to say the least.

[brawlman9876]

well if you dont like it then i hope you dont see my bot :P come on you were great in that roll!

[Max]

I don't know, really. I'm sure if I didn't speak I would've prefered it. Or maybe I could have had some mechanized voice like the Bubble Boss. I forget his name. And I'm certainly not using my real voice, that would just ruin my image D:

[brawlman9876]

well to me you will always speak with bumomo so....yeah....what were you really saying anyway do you even know? :P

[Max]

If I was running the script, I would have definantly said "Get off me land" or something similar

I've been away from this game for a bit, and when I came back, my computer suddenly forgot what program to use to open .pk3 files, as have I.  What program is it again?

[Deviddo]

Pretty sure it's SlumpEd.

[Mr. X]

Yep, that was it.  Thanks.

I tried to make my new skin "Rock" a bot, and, for whatever reason ingame he looks just like Mega Man, he has his name and everything.  He just looks jsut like Mega Man.

In the BOTINFO lump, change the skin name.
As in, change "skin = Base" to "skin = Rock". That should fix it.

What's the difference between $player_killed and $player_killedby?

[Mega_Luigi]

For some reason I decided to delete my post but I'm sure squidgy got his question answered, but anyway if you're wondering what some of the chat strings do in detail, then I'm sure this will make up for it.

[IntroStrings] - What the Bot says when entering the game.

[FragStrings] - What the Bot says upon killing another player.
[KilledStrings] - What the Bot says upon being killed.

[RoamingStrings] - What the Bot says while traveling the map without much action.
[RareRoamingStrings] - A rare version of [RoamingStrings] (?)
[LosingRoamingStrings] - Like [RoamingStrings], but is said when the bot is losing.

[WinStrings] - What the bot says upon winning the match
[LoseStrings] - The bot's saying of defeat.....

I know there are others out there, like [EnragedStrings] in the original post, and some like [PissedStrings], [FrustratedStrings], and [DemoralizedStrings] but I don't know exactly when they are said by the bots.

[Joseph Collins]

According to what I've found, [EnragedStrings] is used when a bot gets the "You Fail It!" Medal (dies five times in a row) and [DemoralizedStrings] is used when a bot gets the "Your Skill Is Not Enough" Medal (dies 10 times in a row).  [PissedStrings] and [FrustratedStrings] might be used for the other two bad medals, "Llama" (fragging a player while he is talking or lagging) and "Spam" (killing multiple enemies simultaneously with the BFG9000.  There's at least one weapon in this mod that also triggers the "Spam" medal, but I can't remember what it was), but I don't know for a fact.

Also, if this hasn't been stated yet, here's some handy-dandy string variables!:

Code: [Select]

$player_killed - Whoever the bot killed last.
$player_killedby - Whoever killed the bot last.
$player_random_notself - Random player besides bot.
$player_inlead - Player who's winning.
$player_lastplace - Player who's last.
