moding?

[McDuck]

heya i am a non registered member & ive been working on a private mod for my cousin who likes the game but has to much lag so i have been trying to make a single player mod 4 him to mess around with
& i have made a extra menu named multiplay
(i had to remake all of the origanal icons 4 menu didint look good wiht my new 1)
and i was wondering how to make a text box to type in say 6 and when you play there are 6 AIbots

BTW if i cannot make a mod 4 this game please tell me and i stop working on it,
(do to any reason you may have)

Making an input box is easy, but I don't know if it's possible right now to add a specific number of bots.  The problem is, it saves the bots in a file, so they stay across map changes, but they also stay in after you quit and restart the game.  If you had it set to add 6 bots, quit, then restarted the game, it would add 6 more, so then you'd have 12...

To be honest, the bots aren't really ready for public use yet.  They're just there.

You have to specify the name, but you can also do "all", so you could have a couple menu items for "sv addbot" to add a bot and "sv removebot all" to remove all bots.

you can add a bot by customizing the menu too,just add ; ;debug3 1;op in the \pball\menus\play_startserver.txt in the line were the label [begin] is so you are auto op everytime you starts a game. then add in admin .txt

widget
   yrel 16
   halign center
   type text
   text "  Bots  "
   command "menu admin_bots"   

and make a new file called admin_bots.txt

paste this in

pb2menu 1

background menu_bg_ingame


widget
   xcent 0
   ycent -28
   halign center
   type field
   cvar bot_add_name
   width 10
   text ""   

widget
   yrel 16
   halign center
   type text
   text " Add Bot "
   command "cmd addbot $bot_add_name"

widget
   type field
   yrel 16
   halign center
   cvar bot_rem_name
