First, is there any way to directly implement bots into a map so the they are always there?
Second, could someone tell me how to make a <i>complex<i> bot (not -solo #) or give me sample code or whatever you need for a complicated bot?

Re: BOTS
if you want 2.0.x bots, check out this post.

I have built the tepbot client and it works fine. You'll have to edit the code manually, the patch is for an older release. I just did this for the latest 2.0.x SVN and it worked fine.

Re: BOTS
I would just like to say that maps with bots generally are not well received, as bots really are more of a nuisance. The game play provided by them (with the currently available bots) is extremely poor. I know that I will not play on a map with bots, even if they are brought in (and allowed) by other players. Also, if the bot placement is to just bump you up the server list it is extremely frowned upon.

Re: BOTS
I wasn't going to use them for an increase in server list position, they are/were going to be used as "cops" that protect certain areas, is that possible?

Re: BOTS
So what you mean is you want to have a bot that patrols part of a map? like a police officer protects a city? I have never heard about that before, and I don't think it's fully possible. Just an idea, you could make a mesh that can make you go in but not come out, like a one-way wall, and have the team that the bot is (rogue) spawn in a zone and be stuck killing everyone inside...
