ZDoom

I'm a literal retard and don't know how to operate this mod. I load it up and nothing's changed. How do I actually play this mod? Please and thank you.

So I also didn't know what to do, but I figured it out. Just open the console and type "addbot" without the "s. Every time you type that, it adds one bot to your game. It can go up to 8 bots, I believe.

these are still better than zandronum bots

Lol, me too. Also, If you type "Spawn Zetabot" it also works, But they're... Weird. Just use addbot. Also, Why they're using that weird cape?

EDIT: Is there any way to see the path module? Or a way to delete it? It's very confusing to use it.

addbot adds a GZDoom bot.
Numpad 1 or "spawnfriend zetabot" adds a ZetaBot.

If you don't like these bindings, just set them in the bottom of the controls.

There's also a zb_debug CVar. It's undisclosed what it does

Didn't work. When I type it in apparently there are no more bots left in bots.cfg. What do I do?

I want to add support for these in my mod, but, how do i do that?
EDIT: The mods i want to add support for are DUBG and my TBA mod that involves quite a few player classes, althrough both need to be 1.8.6 compatible so if possible i would like to make a compat. patch that doesn't need an specific load order, but this isn't 100% necessary.

Uh, you don't use "addbot". You type "summon ZetaBot 0" (or you press the numpad 1 key if you have the default bind).

You need to know ZScript. You will need to create some bot classes that reflect the new player classes, and change some CVars so that the new bot classes you make (for the player classes) are loaded appropriately. If your mod has new weapons, make Zeta versions of them as well.

ZScript means we probably don't support ZDoom 2.8.1 that much (if at all).

v0.3.0 is out! Now it can open doors, lifts, etc! If only I could record this in video...

And yes, it can exit levels on its own. It's just shit to navigate

Not sure what this project's current status is, but I just tried out 0.3.0 in latest GZDoom and got this fatal error on startup:

May i ask you where i can download 0.3.0? Your link only provides 0.2.0 not to mention there is no changelog, no official instructions literally nothing not even screenshots also your mod is broken and won't load in Gzdoom
Script error, "ZetaBot_v0.2.0.pk3:zetacode/weaponsupport/zetaweaponmodule.zsc" line 17
So please fix your mod thanks.

I downloaded 0.3.0 from this Github page: https://github.com/Gustavo6046/ZetaBot/releases

Judging from the thread the mod is still in early development, and the author might have taken a break; go easy.

Ah ok, will do. It didn't initially occur to me that it might be a GZDoom bug.

edit: bug filed

Hi,

I get the following error with GZDOOM 3.7.2:

Script error, "ZetaBot_v0.2.0.pk3:zetacode/weaponsupport/zetaweaponmodule.zsc" line 17:
Type mismatch in function argument
