Launching a personal practice game

[Adaman]

I'm looking for some expert help. I want to boot up a single player GLpro game with custom settings/bots designed specifically for me to practice. I've found I benefit a good deal from a quick warmup before I start quaking. I thought about what custom settings i'd like to do, but I'm not sure how to get it launched, it would be kinda complicated. I haven't ran my own custom game of quake for a while. I still have Frogbot Clan Arena, but don't know if it would work with what I have in mind.

What I want to try and do is launch a custom game of CAx, with computer players (bots) to play against, while in 'airshot' mode (which i think is the best way for me to warmup). That's mainly what I want to try and do. I'd rather use the original CA and not CAx but I do want the airshot mode. What I also want is myself and the bots to have max armor and health (200, 999 i believe), but not sure that's possible in CAx. I would want to be able to specify my ping also, I think that's always possible as long as I'm using the GLpro client, but don't know for sure. I also want the default settings (speed, gravity, etc.) any CA+/CAx server would use.

Told you it was complicated . No idea what the command line would look like. I also wonder what i'll need to download to make this happen. I would guess it's possible to do all of this, but wouldn't bet on it for sure. Hopefully it's easier than I think.

You might be able to practice with bots in an ENDIF mid-air mode or possibly a POVDMM4-style game, which is very similar to what you describe.

Your precise settings -- well, I don't know about that.

The guy is Trinca who sometimes stops by here, but you'd be better off contacting him at his site: http://trinca.no.sapo.pt/

He has a great Quakeworld FBCA bots mods and knows everything about bots (even stuff like CTF), but you'll have to use a Quakeworld client like EZQuake with his mod, which feels mostly the same as regular Quake when used offline.

I think much of what you want is possible, just not exactly how you want it.

I don't want to use Quakeworld, but thanks anyways.

as for ENDIF or POVDMM4 style games...I have no idea what those are

Something like what you want could probably be made using Frikbots.

Still looking for more information on how I could maybe set something like this up. Last shot, no big deal. Probably better to warm up playing against real people anyways.

I hope Adaman is right,cuz I really would enjoy off-time CA gaming in Q1.

I'll check into Monster's idea in previous page about the Russian dude,any help still appreciated!
