Detailed Description

Different userinfo profiles for bot characters.

BotScript

script/bots.txt

Nuclide has support for bot profiles, like in Quake III Arena. They work differently although they appear compatible by design. You can define them in a script that looks something like this and is located at <gamedir>/scripts/bots.txt:

{
        name Albert
        model zombie01
        topcolor 0xeff
        bottomcolor 0xff0020
}
{
        name Susie
        model police02
        topcolor 0xff6b00
        bottomcolor 0xff0b00
}
{
        name Dog
        funname ^4D^2o^1g
        model dog01
        topcolor 0x9200ff
        bottomcolor 0xc800ff
}

Only the name key is required. The only other special key is funname which sets the nickname to be different from the internal name. The other keys are set as user info (setinfo) keys on the bot client.

This will allow games to add whatever extra keys they wish that they can then recognize anywhere in the client/server codebase. No additional networking or APIs necessary. Simply query bot properties via their userinfo.
