Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just copy the included files to your Kingpin directory
(e.g. c:\kingpin). Overwrite all files. Then run KPBotLN.exe.
(Note: No original files are changed in any way)

Note: This version of KPBotLN was created for use with the 
      KrazeBot 0.05 and the ColdNightBot 1.01.
      I don't know if it works with older releases!
      (Tell me if it does/doesn't.)

General Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With this launcher you can set up the most important options
(limits, DM flags, player settings) for the KrazeBot by RiEvEr
and the ColdNightBot by Space-Toaster.
In my opinion it wasn't easy enough to start a quick game with
all imortant settings. So I wrote this little utility.
All the program does is to create a ".cfg" in the bot folder
and execute it after Kingpin is started. 

For limitations of the bots please have a look at the Kraze and
ColdNight readmes.

The settings are stored in the "kpbotln.kln"-file in the Kingpin
directory. Of course you can edit the settings there but you better
do not change this file because KPBotLN doesn't run without it.
And, hey, if you edit it in your notepad why have you downloaded
my launcher ;-)
Note: Normally it's only possible to use the KPBotLN.kln file
      that came along with the program because in almost every
      new version more settings are stored in this file and only
      a certain version of the launcher is able to read it.


KPBotLN is the first proper program I've ever written, so if
you have problems or find a bug please contact me via Email
or ICQ. Thanks :-)
You can also mail me if you have any suggestions for later releases.
I will add as much as possible!

Editing a Bot configs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both mods allow the user to modify the bots that appear in the game with the
help of Bot config files (Kraze: .cfg, ColdNight: .def).
You have the possibility to edit the bot config files directly in the launcher.
It is not very comfortable at the moment but it works.
If you want to add a new config file just enter the name (without .cfg or .def)
and "Load" or "Save" it.

For all of you who don't know how to modify the config files you can
look it up in the bot's readme files!

Known problems: You have to select the correct bot.
                (If you want to edit the Kraze .cfgs you have to
                 select the KrazeBot, same with the CN's .defs)
                If you add a config for a non-standard map it won't
                appear in the list on the next start. You have to
                reenter the name to load it.
