What are Bot scripts?

#1

The BOTINFO page says:
script
The bot script to use with the bot. Bot scripts give bots certain properties, such as making them slower or taunt more often. (Check _BOTLUMP for the predefined scripts)
But I never heard of a bot script. The script lumps in zandronum.pk3 are a bunch of nonsense characters, and I have never seen any "_BOTLUMP."
(unless it's the ___bot.lump files that, as mentioned before, are nonsense characters).
How does that work? :neutral:

Those are scripts that have been compiled (much like BEHAVIOR ACS's) and are therefore unreadable.


IIRC there was a BOTSCRIPT decompiler/editor but it's incomplete and doesn't work 100%.
Reinforcements: midgame Survival joining/respawning
Doom64: Unabsolved: Doom64 + Diablo II
ZandroSkins: a pack made by our community
AeniPuffs: 3D blood and bullet puff effects, free to use for your own mods
Squad Radio: a WASD-based radio chat menu, add your own custom sounds!
Mercenaries (on hold)
