Not a clue about programing or anything, dunno if this is the issue.but alot of maps (even dm maps) have a single player spawn, that doesn't have a spawn pad.example would be q2dm1. Spawn pads are all over the map, but the one single player spawn is in the center of arena.
Did you go through all 5 tutorials? The first few are only for making the bot appear in game and be able to be killed, not for it to have any kind of full functionality.
Anyway, best of luck -- but learning how to mod Quake2 in 2009 is kind of pointless. You'd be doing yourself a huge favor by starting with something newer (perhaps not even a Quake engine).
Basically the whole point of this thing is that I made this chat bot thing a while ago in C++, and I want to integrate it with a bot in a game. To be honest I just decided to use Quake 2 because it seems the easiest way.
