Gibbie - e-mail him if you have trouble with maps or waypoints.

Of course, you know, that Frogbot supports different bot names, colors and skills. There's even a program created especially for that - Frogbot edit (If you have downloaded the Minimum install, and it reports a missing DLL file, you can download this and unzip it to a temporary directory and run the file setup.exe. It will install just the Visual Basic Run Time Files.). Or you can visit FBEdit page for more information and downloads. I don't know how about you, but I personally am tired of these 'old' bot names (superman, dizzy, girlie, bro, addicted2quake, etc..). Enough talking, let's go to the deal.

The whole idea of PTF project is: create as much .bot files with some Quake players' names as you can, and send them to me. I'll put the name of the player which has been 'converted' in this page, so that other 'bot makers(?)' wouldn't make the same player twice. After I collect some .bot files (generated by Frogbot edit), Ill make a .pak with aliases to run Frogbots with player names.

.Bot file requirements:

• No 'skill' setting. (leave 'skill' field in FBEdit empty)
• Try to create player's name as accurate as possible. If you make some mistakes, who cares? (Example: my Quake name is nC-Wrecker, but if you write it as nc-wrecker, or nc.wrecker I wouldn't mind that.)
• Try to set bot's shirt and pants colors so that they match real player's sirt and pants color. Again, if you make some errors, It won't be the end of the world.
• Try to make clan attributes the same for the players of the same clan. (E.g. d11-Thresh won't match with Unholy [Dr] )
• The last requirement: send all files to me.

Custom .Bot files:

• From Laurent Mertens: Belgian Quakers. Here's the list.

Instructions how to use:

Download PTF zip archive, and unzip files right into frogbot folder. There should be the following file: pak0.pak Note: If you have a pak0.pak file in frogbot folder already, rename ptf pak file to: pak1.pak. When you load up the frogbot, type 'exec ptf.cfg' in the console. Don't put this command in autoexec.cfg or any other file which executes when frogbot is run, because Quake will crash. You are now ready to go. But before you do, here's the list of useful aliases that I put into frogbot.cfg.

• You can spawn specific bot by typing player's name in the console. All names should be typed as they appear in the list below. If you want to spawn random player, type addbot in console. Note: don't forget to set bots skill before spawning.
• 1on1 - puts match mode on, rl_pref on and restarts the map.
• teams - puts match mode on, powerups on, rl_pref on, teamplay 3 on and restarts the map.
• blue, red, green, brown, aqua, lblue, yellow - use these before you spawn team bots. (Example: If you want to spawn four bots to other team, and you want them to have blue color, type in blue in the console and then four bot names, or just addbot four times. )
• Type a specific clan name to spawn all four of clan members. Don't forget blue, red, green, brown, aqua, lblue, yellow commands to set clan's colors. Supported clans are: nine, deathrow, deathrow2, unforgiven, femmefatale, clangib, clandoom, zerotolerance. (You have to type full clan name as shown above)

This is version 1.20 of the PTF pak, so don't expect it to be very interesting. But it's really nicer than playing with 'deafult' forgbot names.
