Hi,

@Battenoff
I did it like that:

I started the Fritz Bot ET (AFAIK i dosen´t choose "Dedicated LAN"!) and my mates started there "normal" ET.
I opened a Game (Oasis) and my mates connected via "connect to IP".
They wrote "localhost" or "192.168.bla.bla"(my ET Fritz IP) and started
downloading the bot.

Worked fine with 6 real dudes and some Bots :D

Hope that helped u a bit.

Thanks guys

I will try the connect option tonight when we give it a bash for the first time and I'll let you know if we had any success or not. While I have some small but brief attention you could'nt tell me or direct me to a thread on how to install new Fritzbot compatible maps could you?......My trial run of Fritzbot works a treat on Oasis and Radar but when i get to sw_somthing, somthing(blonde moment).....It tells me it cant find map?.....I have managed to download ET map packs and extracted them into my ETmain folder.......is the the way i should be doing it with Fritzbot to?...........

If this thread has become to complicated please redirect me to the door.....LOL
:P

Good Newsw00t

You advice worked a treat...:clap: ...managed to all connect to Myself running FritzBot and the others through ~ connect ET......Strange thing though, had to manually add bots to game as apposed to bots starting by them selfs.

Might be somthing or file in the wrong spot maybe....0_o


Again ...thanks for your constructive help.....
