  Known User Problems     : 1. User attempts to play this mod using older
  			     versions of RTCW MP (Needs 1.41!!).
  
  	                  2. User fails to follow correct install 
  			     instructions, thus ends up playing normal 	
  			     RTCW instead of Fritz Bot.

  * Install Instructions *
  
  1). If you have an older version of fritz bot - delete the entire
      directory now.
  
  2). Extract the contents of this folder into your RTCW root dir. Make
      sure you keep directory structure!
  
  
  
  * How To Play *
  
  There are several ways to start up a Fritzbot game.
  
  =========
  Method #1 :
  =========
  
  1).  Create a shortcut pointing to the RTCW MP .exe file and mod 
       info. An example shortcut: "WolfMP.exe +set fs_game 
       fritzbot +set g_gametype 7 +map mp_destruction"
  
  2). If the map you chose has a <mapname>_bots.cfg file, the game will 
      automatically spawn in bots for you, and you can begin play right
      away!
  
  3). An alternative way to add bots would be:
  
      a). drop the console down and type &quot;exec bots&quot;
  	-OR-
      b). use &quot;addbot&quot; to add the bots of your choice
  
  4). Enjoy! 
  
  =========
  Method #2 :
  =========
  
  1). Start up your normal RTCW MP game.
  
  2). Go to the &quot;Optons&quot; / &quot;Mods&quot; menu and select &quot;Fritzbot&quot;.
  
  3). Click on the &quot;Fritzbot&quot; button, then the &quot;Play Fritzbot&quot; one.
  
  4). Setup your server to your liking, then start the game by pressing
      &quot;accept&quot;.
  
  5). If the map you chose has a <mapname>_bots.cfg file, the game will 
      automatically spawn in bots for you, and you can begin play right
      away!
  
  6). An alternative way to add bots would be:
  
      a). drop the console down and type &quot;exec bots&quot;
  	-OR-
      b). use &quot;addbot&quot; to add the bots of your choice
  
  7). Enjoy! 
  
  
  * Other Info *
  
  PLEASE be aware this is APLHA state software (FYI: ALPHA comes BEFORE
  BETA), so this is very buggy and limited yet. Don't expect the world of
  Fritz, or write it off just because of its weaknesses - this is just a
  VERY early test, showing the community where I'm at ATM with his
  progress. AND this has been provided to you, the end user, for free - at
  the cost of a LOT of my free time. ;)
  
  * Summary of Commands *
  
  The following commands are executed by typing them at the console.
  
  addbot <name> <skill>  - Adds the bot with <name> set to <skill>
  
  bot_skill <value>      - A value between 1 and 3 (1 = EASY, 3 = HARD)
  			 if no skill value is set when you call 	
  			 &quot;addbot&quot;, bot_skill will determine their 	
  			 skill.	Defaults to 2.
  
  kick allbots	       - Kicks all the bots off the server.
  
  bot_pause <value>      - A value of 1 allows you to pause the bots.
  			 Useful for taking screenshots, or just testing
  			 things. Default value is 0.
  
  cg_mal_DrawTimer       - Draws the reinforce timer at the top left of
  			 your screen. A value of 0 turns this feature
  			 off. 				
  	
  * Making a route file *
  
  This is not available at this time. Frit'z pathing structure is being
  constantly revised, so for now you can only use the paths included in
  this archive. 
  
  * Making a .bot file *
  
  Fritz bot works on the idea of bot &quot;personalities&quot;. Much like a human
  that always uses the same name/class/weapon on a public/clan server, you
  can create bot personalities that have a preference for a particular
  class, weapon, or team. There are many bot &quot;personalities&quot; included in
  this release of Fritz bot (with more to come). Take a look at the .bot
  files and the file &quot;botinfo.txt&quot; for more information on how to create a
  bot modeled after yourself and/or your friends! NOTE: only the name,
  class, team, weapon values are currently working for this release.
    
  * Making map specific config file(s) *
  
  It is possible to make 2 kinds of map specific files for every map you
  have. The first will just be the name of the map (i.e.
  MP_DESTRUCTION.CFG). In this file you can set your various gameplay
  variables (like the timelimit, etc). The second is a config file just
  for bots, it also has the maps name, but has &quot;_bots&quot; at the end of the
  map name (i.e. MP_DESTRUCTION_BOTS.CFG). This controls the bots loadout,
  and skill - if you wish. Edit this file to your liking. At this time,
  there is no ingame menu to add bots - its on the TODO list tho! ;)
