Field notes

The maker frames the project as a personal solution to configuring old mods and editing .cfg files by hand. The bot system is described as changing behavior after bots spot a player—adding reaction delays and imperfect aim—while leaving how they move and plan alone. The page also lists modes such as SoccerJam and Base Builder, and says friends can join a hosted game using a name and password.
