BOTINFO is a lump used to define bots in Skulltag. Bots are defined between closing and opening braces, like so:

{
Properties...
}

Properties

The following properties can be used when defining a bot.

• name

The name of your bot. Can be used with print color codes.

• script

The bot script to use with the bot. Bot scripts give bots certain properties, such as making them slower or taunt more often. (Check _BOTLUMP for the predefined scripts)

• chatfile

The path and filename to the Bot's chat file usually in \bots\chatfiles\. Long filenames may cause a crash.

• gender

The gender of your bot. Can be male, female or neither.

• color

The skin color of the bot in "RR GG BB" format.

• railcolor

The color of the bot's Railgun. Possible values are blue, red, yellow, black, silver, gold, green, white, purple, orange, and rainbow.

• skin

The skin of the bot, either defined in S_SKIN or SKININFO.

• class

The prefered Class of the bot. For Hexen it can be Random, Fighter, Cleric or Mage. Custom player classes are supported too.

• revealed

Determines if the bot is 'hidden' from selection in the 'Select bots' list in Skirmish. Can be true or false.

• favoriteweapon

The bot's favorite weapon. The bot will usually try to get their weapon first.

• chatfrequency

How often the bot will say things from chatfile or chatlump. Value can be 1 to 100.

• chatlump

An alternative to chatfile, which is instead a lump inside the wad file.

• accuracy

How accurate the bot is with hitscan weapons. Value can be 0 to 4.

• intellect

How "smart" the bot is. Smarter bots will be able to predict where to fire projectile weapons and hit dodging players better. Values can be 0 to 4. (The incorrect spelling "intelect" also works)

• evade

How well the bot can dodge projectiles. Values can be 0 to 4.

• anticipation

How well the bot can anticipate shots from hitscan weapons. Value can be 0 to 4.

• reactiontime

How well the bot can react to what is happening (being shot at etc). Value can be 0 to 4.

• perception
