I don't get what's going wrong here.

This is in Team Arena.  

I keep typing in "/bot_minplayers 6" but never get more than four
players.  Plus, the other day, I turned from a male player into a
female, after typing some code that had nothing to do with characters.

"/sv_cheats 1" doesn't work.  I just get something about unwritable or
hardwired.  I forget what.

When I use "/devmap", the join and add bots buttons in the menu are
unusable.

I tried playing ctf in mptourney1, but there doesn't seem to be any
flags.  So I tried "/g_gamtype 3", and got team deathmatch, but
couldn't join the game.

So I found that 1 is dm, 2 is 1on1, 3 is team dm, and 4 is ctf, at
least in Q3.  What about Harvester and 1Flag in Team Arena?

I hate games that don't allow single-player cheating, or make it hard
to cheat.  I payed for the game, I should be able to play it through,
even if I'm not very good.  And the people who program the bots don't
really know how bad a novice player is.

That's another question.  What commands are for setting bot
difficulty?  These guys may not be godlike, but if i have to waste all
my ammo to kill one guy, that's not "I can win".

(I should mention that I play Unreal Tournament.  On "Average", which
is second after "Novice", I can usually win without getting killed.  I
think "Experienced" is next, and I can still usually win, though I
don't play it much because I I hate to have the bots win while I'm
still learning the maps.)
