Third party bots...

[Timedude]

Alright, simple problem, really. Any third party bots I add to the baseoa folder suffer from the following symtoms:
~they can't pick up any other weapons than those they spawn with
~they stand around a lot, often doing nothing at all till you get near or shoot at them
~the console keeps saying 'Error: weapon number out of range'

This happen with mods like Painkeep Arena and Lego Carnage too.

Anybody know how I can overcome this problem?

Thanks,

Not all bots work well with Open Arena, but with enough tweaking you can get them to run, like with Spiterbot for instance.
Mostly it does come down to the choice of map though, it needs to have a compiled .aas file embedded or the bots will have a rather boring movement pattern (read: none).

Alright, so the stand around problem means that the level has poor bot routing. One factor down, a couple more to go...

So what about this weapons problem? How can I tweak the bots to work with OpenArena like you mentioned?
