I just didn't quite get your meaning there, sorry about that.

Yes what you're talking about doing is very simple really. All you have to do is make yourself a .cfg file in notepad and place it in your Etmain folder, fill it in with the commands you want such as:

Addbot onepercenter
addbot whoever
addbot theotherone

and so on, make sure there is no / at the front and that the name matches the filename of the .bot files.

Then when you're in game, all you should have to do is open your console and type /exec yourbots.cfg. So if you named the cfg file "Mybots" you'd type in /exec mybots.cfg for example. Alternatively you can make an autoexec.cfg in your Etmain and place the line:

Exec mybots.cfg

That should load up your custom botlist whenever the map starts (hopefully), and if you're going to use this method I would place the .cfg's in the fritzbot folder so that they don't kick in at unwanted times and flood your client with bad commands.

Though in either case you should prevent the default bots for each map from loading so that you're not frustrated trying to clear out the ones you didn't want. To do this set the minbots to 0 in the area I described earlier and leave the maxbots at 16 or whatever number you need. For a dedicated server, you probably can just add the exec command to your server.cfg to get the same result.


The way is made clear when viewed from above.
