Ability to specify what weapons bots may and may not use.

Yes, good idea. Now that 1.2 bots are slightly better this idea is feasible and a real motivation.

Yeah! Maybe another argument in "addbot" or "addnbot"?

I'd say for both commands since addnbot calls addbot 'n' times

You could use the weapon numbers found here as the next argument.

Better yet! Why not the weapon name? and even more better! Why not make the weapon name case-insensitve?

idea #1723857B
the user should be able to control what weapon bots use

Yeah 3+ year later arises again.

you will also be able to spawn a bot where you want

Personally I don't like that idea much. :(

+1
actually it's planned for future versions

No way, it's too much time for such a feature to be added.

For what version? 1.2 or later?

Later

In fact, thinking it better, I can't really accept that.
No way. Too much time for such a simple feature to add!
It's kind of disappointing to see 70+ pages with ideas most them not implemented.
But that is going to change. In my limited spare time I'll code the ideas (from the Ideas thread) I like and think can be funny/etc/etc (I have some in progress) and post the patches.
If you have by any chance and artistic skill send me pm if you want to help in some way.

To begin with, below is the code patch which allows the addbot and addnbot commands to add a bot which spawns with a specific weapon.
Valid weapon parameters are (case-insensitive): knife, pistol, carbine,
shotgun, subgun, sniper, assault, grenade and akimbo. Default is 'assault'.

Example:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/addbot CLA bad kkk sniper

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/addnbot 300 CLA bad shotgun
