Increase bots in Coop 0.9

[steve84]

Hi All,

Ive looked all over the forum but can't find details on how to increase bot numbers in V0.9 Coop single player. Ive managed this in standard BF2 but not PR. Currently max numbers are at 32. Is it possible to raise this higher via AI default files???

I'd really appreciate the feedback so thanks again.

Steve

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, all you need to do is slide the "NUMBER OF BOTS" bar to 48?

[steve84]

My bar stops at 32 for some reason. Is that not standard for the rest of you?

[Hans Martin Slayer]

48 bots should be the max, no idea why it's 32 for you..?

I'm at work now, so can't check it myself until I get home, maybe someone else can help out here..

[Outlawz7]

It stops at 32 because your (local) server's player limit is higher than 16.

[steve84]

Yeah that is strange, seems im not the only one tho. At work myself so will have to check, but 32 was the max setting. Must have moar..

You have 32 bots because u have max amount of players as 16 or higher. Slide that bar over and can have 48 bots. Hope this helps.

Go to mods > pr > ai > aidefault.ai

then change this

Code: Select all

aiSettings.setNSides 2
aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1

aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 1
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.4

to this

Code: Select all

aiSettings.setNSides 2
aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots xxx
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 1
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.4

xxx is the number of bots you want in game.

[steve84]

Rcon, is there anything I can do about that, or change the setting?

[Hans Martin Slayer]

It stops at 32 because your (local) server's player limit is higher than 16.

Oh yeah ofc, that's it.

Just lower you're maximum (human) player number.

[steve84]

Thanks Chizz, I will give that a go when I get home. It may be I have 32 as opposed to 64 at the moment.

Cheers guys.

[Hans Martin Slayer]

No, you actually need less players.

less (human) player slots - more slots 4 da bots.

Just lower it to 1, unless you want to play with some buddies.

[Arnoldio]

Oh, on my previous code, change this

Code: Select all

aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 1

and put 1 to 0.

also for the number of bots i wouldnt suggest more than 100, if more than 110, no squads will be open...

When going ingame, leave number of bots at 48, set max player limit to 1, and set bot ratio to 100.

Enjoy

In order to have 48 bots you have to put max players to 1 or 2

Why less than 16?

Anyway as ChizNizzle mentioned above you can easily override the default limits.
