Again - post the cfg here so I can see it, and also: look in the console and see what error msg is in there. If theres a problem, the code will usually complain about what it is.

Looks like, at least part of the problem, is that the .cfg you have still has some of the rtf formatting in it. the last lines in the screenshot have the unknown cmd {\rtf1\ansi\....}.

Also, I don't know if you need to have sv_pure 0 set (I think you do) when loading your own bots from outside of a pk3 file. Anyways, try setting that and making sure you have your .bots files in the right directory.

EDIT: In looking again, the megaman.bot file probably has the rtf formatting in it.

i tried the sv pure 0 thing but i get the same exact messege in the console and no bots load, i checked through all the bot files and found no rtf formatting in it like before, and now i tried to add a bot manually by typing in /addbot and its name and it tells me that the file doesnt exist.. lol

I'd remove addbot megaman from your mybots.cfg file just to be safe. The screen shot looks like it is trying to load that one and encountering the rtf errors. (maybe you have a .pk3 file laying around with a bunk one in it?)

If you are certain that the bots are in the ~Fritzbot\bots directory, then there is one more thing I can think of to check. Sometimes when you save files from notepad it will sneakily add a '.txt' extension to it. Even if you name it "rabbitkiller.bot". And to make it worse, Windows will hide the .txt extension by default (along with other well known extensions) when you browse for it.

To Make sure that isn't the case, you can turn off this feature. In Explorer, under Tools, Folder options you will need to uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option. Then browse your ~Fritzbot\bots folder to see if they have the .txt exension. If so, just remove the .txt.

I may put together a bot editor / creator this weekend that will handle creating new bots, editing existing ones, packaging them up in a .pk3 file, and support creating configs.

It sounds like some other .bot files have rtf formatting in them too. Did you at one point create a .pk3 file with your bots in it? To troubleshoot them, just keep removing the bots from your config that are giving you trouble. (the one that is trying to be loaded just before the unknown cmd errors)

You may have megaman as the funname for one of your other bots (which would explain him joining)

NOTE: you MUST set sv_pure to 0 BEFORE you start the map. After the map is running, the game won't change sv_pure's value until you start a new map.

sv_pure must be set to 0 or it won't read loose .bot files.
