Add bots

The simplest way to add bots is to set a minimum number of players. The server adds bots up to that number and removes them as people join:

spec:
  bot:
    minPlayers: 8
  game:
    singlePlayerSkill: 2

singlePlayerSkill sets the skill of the bots it adds, from 1 to 5 (2 by default). The web app’s Bots field sets minPlayers for servers it creates.

Bots can also be added individually with the addbot command, which takes the bot’s name and skill level, using the commands section:

spec:
  commands:
    - addbot crash 1
    - addbot sarge 2

The Quake 3 demo only has some of the game’s bots. Mods like Urban Terror don’t have bots at all, so their presets hide the web app’s Bots field.
