Installation

Before installing, make sure you have the correct version of MapMixer for UT2004 installed, as BotMixer may not function correctly or at all.  See the History section for the required version.

BotMixer is supplied as a standard UMOD package for easy installation.  The rest of this page provides information for manual installation.

Manual Installation

The following is a list of important files that are essential to the operation of the entire BotMixer system and are installed by copying them into the UT2004/System folder.

By default, the BotMixer help files (that you are reading now) are installed in the Help folder.

Networking

BotMixer is split into three parts (packages):

Server Packages
UT2004/System/BotMixer.u
This package is required on the machine that is hosting a game - whether it is a single player game or a network server game.

UT2004/System/BotMixerGUI.u
This package is only required on the host machine that will edit the BotMixer settings, accessed through the MapMixer Menu.

Client Package
UT2004/System/BotMixerClient-xxx.u (where xxx is the version number)
This package is required on all machines wishing to participate in a MapMixer controlled game using the BotMixer add-on, whether the machine is a server or client.  Each version of the Server Package (BotMixer.u) requires a specific version of the Client Package (BotMixerClient-xxx.u), this is why the filename contains the version xxx, where xxx is a number like 001 or 100 etc.

Important Installation Note
The BotMixer client component is the only package that is required on a client's machine.  However, you DO NOT need to manually add a Server Packages line for this package in the UT2004.ini file - MapMixer will automatically add the BotMixer client package to each map's server packages list when BotMixer is active.
