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.
+In the following example, we will use the map _opera_ by Morphed for the orchestra. You can find it in the branch _divVerent/opera-by-morphed_.
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
(you also can use any other .cfg name here, but it must be in the same directory as config.cfg and I prefer x.cfg because the unmodified tuba-play.cfg uses it)
-h3. Vocals
+In case not all notes could be played, information is printed to help you choose the _transpose_ parameter. You should try 0 at first.
+
+h2. Vocals
+
+In order to play vocals, you need to put an additional file _MIDIFILE.mid.vocals_ next to your MIDI file. An example vocals file:

+The numbers are measured in MIDI ticks, but are multiplied by the scale. I made this file by first using audio files inside Rosegarden and positioning them right, and then getting the numbers out of the compressed XML Rosegarden writes as its own file format. Another idea to get these numbers may be the event list editor in your MIDI app.
