I've used bots in my server before and they are dum. I have been to other servers, and the admins have bots that can jump and even carry flags. How?

Help is greatly appreciated.

They probably leave a client with a random name or something on autopilot. I think the default key for autopilot is 9. If you allow bots at your server these guys will pick up flags, capture (If the bases are on the ground. If they are in the air that leads to problems with the very tiny bot brains), shoot better, etc.

I think Teppic actually made bots that have random names and that can pick up flags and stuff. But i dont think they capture flags.

Well, there was one server I was in, Teppic, that did have bots with random names, but all of them had "bot" at the end of their names. This leads me to beileve that, maybe some client was used by him. But I want to know where to get this client. It would be nice if Teppic actually answered this question.

in all the email slots of the bots he puts "Tepp-Bot"


if anyone can find this client or script, I would also like it

Can't they just open a bzflag client and have it run on outpilot?

There is a modified client that runs my bots, but until version 2.0.5 goes stable (becomes 2.0.6??) there is no guaruntee any patch will work, and the ammount of stuff I 'worked around' for the 2.0.4 patch means your never gonna see that!
Obviously there is nothing to stop you applying the patch by hand, if you can. PM me if you want it.
