~:notes:~
  This is a beta of the beta of version 0.5, which is coming up. 
  I need a lot help of you guys, so don't hesitate to mail me.
  (wow I get mail for my bot!) Mail me your ideas, hints, weapons
  & stuff like that. (you will be credited)

  I was also very happy when I saw my bot on PlanetQuake in the
  quake-c archives. (www.planetquake.com\qca) Thanks for spreading
  my bot, dudes!

~:get-it-to-work:~
  Create a directory in Quake where you put this patch in
  (unzip with -d!) start quake with "-game <directory-where-patch-is-in>
  eg. "quake -game knbot"
  Start a new multiplayer game.

  -Impulse 100 to add a bot
  -Impulse 30 to toggle chase camera (very cool)
  -Impulse 31 to toggle laser targetter
  -Impulse 32 to toggle chase mode

  (most of the other impulses are messed up)

~:features:~
  (there are many features where I'm working on which are added to 0.5)
  ú individual names in deathmatch
  ú bots now help you in coop, like the zeusbot (this is really cool)
  ú faster movement (I want a smoother movement!!!)
  ú he's a badass-strafer
  ú intelligent roaming ai (still working on it)
  ú intelligent jumping (used from cujo)
  ú swimming code (also used from cujo, working on it)
  ú use of all weapons except for axe which is going to be added
  ú bots use cool comments (can be turned off)
  ú +16 bots on one level
  ú chasecam mod is included
  ú I rewrote the source -- and you get it!
  (left pretty much things out here)

  ú smoother moving (I really need this, can somebody *please* help me?)
  ú walk to doors, buttons, lifts, etc. (also need help on this!!!)
  ú normal fire rate for all weapons

  ú escape with low health
  ú head model (face is finished)
  ú again a major code cleanup
  ú skill settings
  ú bots not getting stuck

~:word from the author:~
  I thought version 0.3 would be the one and only version of the bot
  because I was working on my quake-server. (when I'm working on some-
  thing else I usually don't return to my last job) So I was on the net
  on a black day and I saw that my bot was moved to the huge file section
  no ftp.cdrom.com and to planetquake, and guess what? I had around 10
  mails in my mailbox!!! I was a happy man. Then I thought: "Okay now it's
  the time to kick some serious ass, wait till version 0.5". And here it
  is. Hope you'll like it.
  Uh yea. I got some mails from guys who can't compile my code. I was using
  another compiler . No. That's a joke .
  I forgot to add the "progs.src" and the ".h" file.
  (It should compile fine now) I also added my compiler (qcc.exe).
