Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
I wanted instant, automatic, halfway smart deathmatch opponents
for one player - ME! This modification of Punisher's BGbot takes the bots
and alters them for a "pseudo" deathmatch environment.  Now you can have a 
full fledged deathmatch - by yourself! 


Go into Multiplayer Games, new game - direct connection..then select your 
favorite DM level.  
        Use Impulse 100 to create indivual opponents
        Impulse 99 will create four at one time.  
        
        (*NOTE* I do not recommend more than 8 bots at one time,unless
        its a really large level...anything more can get ridiculous.
        Note also that the bots tend to get stuck in one area due to
        the fact that they are stupid and attack the first thing in sight
        I will be working on some better AI and possible random spawning to 
        help spread these bots out)

Thanks to Punisher's mod, these bots will
pick up and use all weapons(I was originally going to have to make this mod 
myself on TMBOT... Thanks to Punisher for saving me the time!)

Now your battling as many opponents as you want(just remember, the more
you spawn, the harder it is and the slower your system )


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
unzip the zip file into a new directory off of your Quake dir.
cd to that directory and use qccdos (just type qccdos newbies)

then bind a key to impulse 100
and  bind a key to impulse 99

Technical Details
-----------------
VERSION 1: BGBOT
        TM, DM Bot basis.
        Ability to pick up things:
                Weapons
                Ammo
                Health
                Armor
        Chooses weapon from ones it has.
        Hunts all players (including creator)
        Hunts other bots
        Multiple Bots at once. (memory limiting)
        Telefrags //* Keep away from Spawning points!

Version -1.00  BGADMBOT
        Designed for a one player deathmatch environment
        If hit, will sometimes get pissed and attack the attacker.
        Respawning(after death, keeps the old bots info and respawns it)
        250 health for bots and players - to keep it more interesting and 
                challenging
  
  
Version -1.01  Due to a last minute housekeeping task, I caused a bug
               which would respawn a bot in the place it died, instead
               of the deathmatch starts..This preety much made the game
               lame..THIS BUG HAS BEEN FIXED!!
               If you have the old version,please delete it..
  
  *FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS*
  I couldn't get it to rank the bots.  I did however make some modifications
        which will make it easier to do bot rankings. 
  The AI could always be improved.  Sometimes these bots will do stupid
        things.
  I'm working on random spawning..this will reduce telefrags and also add
        a little spice to the game...Currently its using the SelectSpawnPoint
        for deathmatch info
  Will I ever improve anything? dunno.  The little lady is getting jealous
        of my puter :)
