1. GrogBot Installation
----

1) Installing with installer.

Run the installer executable and follow the steps. The installer
will ask for your pvk folder.

2) Installing from a zip file.

1. Extract the zip file to a temporary folder.
2. Copy the folder named 'GrogBot' to your pvk folder.
3. Copy the file named 'liblist.gam' to your pvk folder.

3) Configuring GrogBot to work with MetaMod.

First you need to know, GrogBot is not a real MetaMod plugin,
but there's a way to get it to work.

To make GrogBot work with MetaMod, you just need to edit dllpath.txt in
GrogBot folder to point to your metamod.dll.

example:
addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll


If you want to remove GrogBot, you need to run remove.bat in your
GrogBot folder and after that you can delete the GrogBot folder
itself.

2. GrogBot usage
----

To add bots, you can simply press H key to access the GrogBot menu.
You can change the key by modifying grogbot.cfg file.

If you want to add bots by console, you can use addbot command:

addbot [team] [class] [skill] [name]

Adding a bot with random team, random class etc. you can use addbot
without any parameters.
