**UPDATE - FULL Battle Of The Sexes Documents are on the ning site.**

I would suggest to start here to see if you are interested.
Classes - http://botsmod.ning.com/page/q2-bots-classes

Hey all,

I have been playing on tastyspleen severs on and off but never posted to the forums. Thanks for keeping the Q2 scene alive.

This is a call out to any old time players of the Battle of the Sexes teamplay mod. It was a fast paced strategy oriented class based mod with in game promotions handed out by the captain.

If anyone out there remembers the mod and is interested in the reunion, check out the gathering site and sign up.

Hey, looks like a perfect candidate for a radio review (Quick Reload) and a play on a Sunday Splatterfest! We're always looking for classic mods to bring back into the spotlight. Thanks for the link!

Sounds Great, it really was an addicting mod. A few guys just started talking about getting a crew together a few weeks back. There is a small test server and a we hit archive.org for all of the original documentation. I can't wait to see a full server.

Thanks again.

I've always wanted to play it but it would *NEVER* work for me. Mod always crashed my Q2. No clue why.

You probably had the wrong version, try the Friar's vs. Nuns edition.

Hmmm.... if someone can get me a linux binary I'll put this on the list for splatterfest within the next month. I'd happily bump leper back! Then I can run the "brothers & sisters" server for a week.

Hey this is sybersting/slowmotioneric/eric wagner, organizer of the BotS re-union and http://botsmod.ning.com website...
This website may have what you need... http://beafraid.com/q2-bots

Thanks for checking us out. Let me/us know if you decide to host any Battle of the Sexes matches/servers.

The Happy Friar · « **Reply #7 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:25:32 PM »

forgot to mention I checked there. The server package has windows only & the source package is the server package file.

should be this link: http://beafraid.com/downloads/bots/q2_bots_linux_source.tar.bz2

but that is the source... someone compile for linux please & we'll test?

blrakach · « **Reply #8 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:31:52 PM »

I will try to get a binary compiled tomorrow.

If we can get this working in the next few days on my server then I'll bump leper two weeks & put BotS in it's place before jailbreak. I think peewee wanted to run something too. Once BotS is confirmed I'll make a promo to run on the shoutcast (need to do one for megaman this weekend!)

Yeah, IR 500 is going to be on Sunday night at 8:00pm. So rather than interfere, we're going to join in. I'll make the more official announcement today.

It compiled for me on 32 bit Ubuntu without any major changes; just a few (honestly useless) static initializers had to be removed. There were lots of compiler warnings, tho, some of which looked pretty serious. Kind of typical for Quake mods, I guess. It runs in my AprQ2 with:

Code: [Select]

./aq2 +set game bots +set deathmatch 1 +map q2dm1

Note that it will segfault without deathmatch set to 1. Attached gamei386.so.

thanks jay, I'll give that a try today & see how it works.

blrakach · « **Reply #13 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:52:30 AM »

Thanks Jay, that was way quicker than it would have taken me. (Never compiled anything beyond a slackware package) I am going to try anyway for learnings sake and see if my output matches yours.

Sysbersting is working on getting all of the docs up, in the meantime, the quickref guide is up for all of your binding needs.

any special server doc's?

EDIT: may want to comment this stuff out of the autoexec.cfg unless you know you want it set:

Code: [Select]

//set cd_nocd "1"
//set scr_conspeed "10000"
//set max_fps "35"
//set rate "2750"

//set adr0 "209.83.78.252:27910"
//set adr1 "209.83.78.253:27910"
//set gl_mode "4"
//set gl_driver "3dfxgl"
//set s_khz "22"
//set loadas8bit "0"
