The QuakeWorld version of FrikBot doesn't support the editor or .way files at all, hence why impulse 104 doesn't work. To use waypoints on the QuakeWorld version you must use either bsp or QuakeC waypoints. Both have some overhead in getting set up. For the QuakeC waypoints you must have compilable source base. To make one, follow the bot_qw.qc instructions and install it on the normal QW QuakeC. This is the easier method.
BSP waypoints need the map entity extractor utility found on QIP. To do this, you must extract the ents from the BSP, append the waypoint data then use qbsp -onlyents to patch the bsp file.
To convert a .way file to either format, you'll need to do what Dr Shadowb0rg et al mentioned, load up the NQ version with -condebug, the one that does support the editor onto the map that you want to convert the waypoints for, invoke the editor with the impulse 104 command, go to Waylist management, change the dump type to QuakeC or BSP and re-dump them. Then cut the data out of the log file and follow the install instructions in readme.html.

I've finished editing CocoT's UQC waypoints. The ones I didn't edit were ones that have already been made. These will work much smoother for Deathmatch purposes (removed lots of waypoints that were for the UQC quads originally (generally made the wayfiles more efficient), made some RJ points to quad/pent that weren't there, etc).
These include: alk08dm, alkdm04, argonaut, auhdm1, baldm7, bsdm4, bsdm11, crdm2, croctear, crowdm1, dmcloud, eodm3, fmc, gs1dm1, gs1dm2, gomdm5, jaj1dm1, kdmf, kikdm5, kzk3dm1, lilith, misdm8, north, persdm1, pope5, pope7, sthdm3, swk, territory, trw, v2dc, wot, and xntrick.

Made waypoints for rpdm7 (Halls of Darkness) and rpdm8 (The Grim Citadel). These maps have great atmosphere to them, lots of fun architecture. rpdm7 has tons of powerups to make for lots of carnage and gibs. The bots perform perfectly on rpdm8 and almost perfectly in rpdm7 (they sometimes screw up rocketjumps necessary to grab powerups).

Made another waypoint for apdm5 (Castle of Carnage). Large castle level with some good traps. Should make for lots of fun! apdm5.way & apdm5.wa1: http://files.filefront.com//;8079910;;/ http://files.filefront.com//;8079911;;/ apdm5.bsp:

Once you get used to the editor and know what each AI flag does exactly, its a breeze. It's the testing that takes up the most time (sometimes the bots will do some odd things). I made another waypoint for manson2, scar3crow's personal favorite, by Brandon "KillMe" James. This one comes with a .ent file since there is a bad spawn (get stuck in the wall). I don't know how to load the .ent files in any engine other than DP though (DP does it automatically). Can someone help me there?
This one is great fun... The bots work fairly well on it, sometimes they'll miss the jump to the RL and get spiked, and sometimes they'll fall through the crusher below the quad. It is fun to see them get mercilessly crushed with lots of gibbage though

I also included some small waypoints improvement for DM1, DM2, DM4, DM5 and DM6 into a Frikbot modification that had deathmatch 3 support, random respawning and a somewhat improved item pickup AI.

It would be really nice to see all the Frikbot stuff collected into one place.

nice! I'll try out that Fbxplus Is there a way to turn off the random respawning though ? IMO, it somewhat takes away from the classic quake feel. Good work, and thanks!

Sorry, the only way to do that is to edit the SelectSpawnPoint function in client.qc to restore the original commented out code and recompile. It not that hard to do though. The random respawn code starts at line 434 and ends at 553. Just delete all that and uncomment the original code below that and recompile.

You'll need to use a qbsp program e.g. http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k/txqbspbjp.zip to replace the bsp MAP entities. Run it with "-onlyents [.ent file name]" and make sure the .bsp and .ent files are in the same folder.
