This page explains how to create your very own Bot Orchestra performance.

Note: stuff in _italics_ is up to you and may/will need changing from my examples here.
h2. Mapping a Bot Orchestra Stage
* 4 target_position entities called tNoSteps1 to tNoSteps4 for jetpack bots so they don't make an unwanted landing sound
* info_player_deathmatch spawnpoints with "restriction" "1" for where bots are to spawn
* info_player_deathmatch spawnpoints with "restriction" "2" for where humans are to spawn
+* you probably want to make it so the tUba bots can't leave their area using various means; see the opera map for a quite safe approach involving a "shootable" trigger, but you could also make a pit you can fall into but not get out, or a teleport, or similar tricks to keep them enclosed.
+* also you may want to look at opera's mapinfo settings: it sets _independent_players 1 and bot_navigation_ignoreplayers 1 to help bot navigation. If you can get it to work without these hacks, it'd be better though.
-In the following example, we will use the map _opera_ by Morphed for the orchestra.

h2. Creating a bot script
To create a bot script, first you need to prepare a MIDI file, for which you need to take care of:
-* percussion must be on track 10 only
+* percussion must be on track 10 only; percussion was mapped manually by me in midi2cfg-ng.conf by "similar sound"; you may want to read that file for reference so you can assign percussion instruments the way you want
* program change event for Accordeon, Harmonica and Tango Accordeon uses the @!#%'n Accordeons
* anything else uses the @!#%'n Tuba
