Changing the Bots skins/name

**Changing the Bots skins/name and Verion 4 -** 13-02-2004

Hiya Folks,
Is it possible to change the name/skin of the a bot depending on what map is being?

Also when you say that Version 4 is now a metamod plugin. Does that mean that the Bot no longer has to be called from the command line? But can be fired up in the same way as other MM plugins ie Stripper2, Spawn_prot, etc?

Love and peace.

Ps Good work on the site. Excellent

I don't think so.... unless you're a coder and you hack the source code to implement this feature.

Is that about the name or the plugin?

The HPB bot supports a different .cfg file for each map (based on map name, see the HPB_bot_ReadMe.txt file).

You can create a separate bot .cfg file for each map and specifiy in that .cfg which name/skin you want to use for those bots. So, yes, you can create bots with specific names/skins for specific maps, no coding required.

That worked a treat. Next question is it possible to have a specific Bot.text file for each map. ie on Boot_camp the bot would say different things to what he would say on Frenzy?

Nope. There is currently only one HPB_bot_chat.txt file and it will be used for all maps.
