Banning the StoogeBot

How to Keep the Stooge off of Your Server

The StoogeBot will politely disconnect from any server that displays the phrase "no bots" as part of its center-printed "welcome" screen. We hope that this message will be obeyed by all future non-StoogeBots as well.

If you are not sure how to make the required chanegs, you can download a version of the 1.06 progs.dat that has been modified to include a "no bots please" message (shift-click to save the file to your hard disk).

To use the new progs.dat on your server:

1) Create a "nobots" directory in your quake directory,
2) Copy the new progs.dat file into the "nobots" directory
3) Use the argument "-game nobots" when you start your server

You can also download copies of the quakeC files that we modified to add the "no bots please" message: defs.qc and client.qc.

Please let us know of any corrections.

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
ONLY MAKE THESE MODS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
