				| If you put the bot's name on the sysop.txt and I think the vip.txt, run the bot, then private message it !start _________________

				| You need to put a copy of your map in the bots folder, setup the spawn.txt, add the botnames to the sysop.txt, set all the info in the aispawns.ini and mervbot.ini, add your operators to the operators.txt, and read the readme.txt. Then after you run the aimervbot.exe go into your zone, log into the bot then type !start to make it play. |  |

				| How about, read all the readme.txt's that came with it and look it over yourself. And do what I told you to do with the bot. Did you even make an attempt at messaging bjorn, or PMing him? |  |

 Your problem is at ( 0:zone22: ).
 REMOVE all of the names....
 Add this:
 
 12:zone22:
 
 Also remove "alias, flag, rampage" from spawns.txt.
 Replace it with AI.
 
 (just copy and paste what I have given you the second times.....
 
 This is what you have NOW on Operators.txt

 # NOTE: I suggest using blank passwords for all your operators.
 #       Create backup names WITH passwords in case the biller goes down.

 # Operators:
 # This file is used for defining who has access
 # to bot commands from inside the game.
 # These people are called "operators" who are assigned
 # passwords used with the !login <password> command
 # to gain access.  I recommend erasing example
 # operators above, before running the bot.
 
 # Types of Operators:
 # LVL Type           Description
 # 0   Player         Requests information services
 # 1   Limited        Player with some privelages
 # 2   Moderator      Represents player interests
 # 3   SuperModerator Manages moderators
 # 4   SysOp          Represents staff interests
 # 5   Owner          Changes internal bot settings
 #...  (Etc)          Other ways to say "Owner"
 
 # Operators.txt Format:
 # Access level:Name:Password
 # 2:Catid:Password  <- !login Password required
 # 2:Catid:          <- !login Password NOT required
 
 # Blank Passwords:
 # A blank password means operator is granted powers upon entering the arena,
 # and does not need to use !login unless his powers change while he is still
 # in the game.
 
 # White-space:
 # White-space (' ') is ignored before and after colons (':')
 # Ex. 5 : Catid   :   Password  is the same as 5:Catid:Password

 All you need is this.
 
 
 Now then, change this in Spawns.txt
 Where it shows
