Turning on pre-t mode is as easy as turning it on in your .sysdef file. It's something like PRET=1. When turned on, bots will join the game to make a 4 on 4 game. As real people arive, bots will leave. Special rules for pre-t mode... - No stats are recorded during pre-t - The galaxy will reset when one team is up by 3 planets. This way the game should never be in a geno state which is discouraging for newbies. - Bots can be directed, although they are extreamly stupid. - If T is lost, the bots will come back in no more then 5 minutes from the time T was lost. - I'm probably forgetting some minor things. Pre-t is simply a way to give people something to do while hanging out waiting for T. It's certainly not supposed to be a replacement for real games, just a helper to get you to a real game. Turn it on, try it out. Ignore old crusty idiots that don't like the bots cause they're dumb.
