Bot commands -- 4:54 pm CST, Update by The Master

Tim Willits of id updated his .plan with a BUNCH of comments on the email he's receiving RE: Q3A, and he had a post on bot commands I thought was REALLY cool. Here it is (for the rest, check his .plan):

I have noticed that people don't fully understand the power of our bots.

The bots in Quake 3 represent some of the most advanced bots in any game today. Our bots are capable of understanding and performing well over 50 different commands in the team deathmatch and CTF.

Using combinations of commands, it's probably well over that. The in-game menu only represents a extremely small set of commands which bots understand. They are the BASIC commands. For a more complete list check out the "bot commands" document in your Quake 3 start menu. Here are some examples of the things you can do with bots.

[Grunt and visor patrol from rl to rg for 5 mins]

Grunt and Visor will patrol from the rocket launcher to the railgun for 5minutes.

Or you can group them in teams and give team commands

[Grunt and visor are in team beta]
[Beta defend quad forever]

Grunt and visor will team up and defend the quad for the entire game.

If you are lost have grunt help you

[grunt lead the way]
[grunt get the plasma]

Grunt will find you, and then lead you to the plasma gun. If you get out of his view he will come back for you.

Experiment with the commands, set up a skirmish with the bots in a team game and have some fun.

Also, try chatting with the bots about anything, see what they will say. Our bots have approximately 200 pages of chats are responses. They might surprise you.
