To create a teamplay game type in the console:

 color "bf 00 00"       - your color is red

botteam doomers        \
 botcolor 6             - spawn a bot (color - red(bf 00 00), team - "doomers")

DoomBot 4.0 (The final DoomBot) / 19-Feb-2000
 ===============================================
   - DoomBot v4.0 is based on ZDoom v1.18a!
   - CTF! New doombot includes two ctf maps.
   - I've improved the node system and I've added nodes for MAP16 (doom2.wad)
     and MAP01 (tntgrvnc.wad).
   - It's possible to play Doombot over the internet.

DoomBot 3.0 / 30-Aug-1999
 ===========================
   - The new node system!
     I've included node tables for tntgrvnc.wad MAP18, gothic2.wad MAP11,
     yardz.wad and MAP16 of the doom2.wad.
     You can still play using the old node system of course...

DoomBot 2.4 / 24-Apr-1999
 ===========================
  DEATHMATCH
   - Bots use nodes.
     You should set up nodes within a map before playing

     nodes but they will be very stupid...
   - The bot predict the player movements when fire a PlasmaGun.
   - The bot is more talkative in deathmatch.
   - Bots avoid rockets.
   - Movements of the bot are more realistic in the version 2.4

     or "addbluebot".

DEATHMATCH

     command "botskill X".

     thing/weapon.

   - If you kill a bot or a bot kills another bot a messages like this appear:
     "Frag-god was gibbed by Fly's rocket"
   - Bots will not go in hellslime.

   - I fixed all problems with bot's frames.

     the player.
