Bot numbers/ limiting

[A.English]

OK hi guys.. ok i did wot u said not do do, but i added more bots on PRSP and it works fine.. bots atm dnt seem to act more stupid. only thing is tht i can nva get more bots on "ENEMY" team I.E. MEC,INS etc. I think i have relised wot is wrong, the bot count on setup. where it says max bots 48. ON 48 it has my full 100 bot's (i chose 100 so i actually have a space in a squad, so anyone doing it 100's good number else u wnt get into a squad)... but the "ENEMY" team has a max of 48 bots rest get added to "FREINDLY" team.. so in most games its really unfair.. speacially wen thers humans playing too..
anyways.. i put the counter down to 30.. n the "ENEMY" team have 30 max bots rest go to "FREINDLY" team, so how do i get the team ratio so the "extra" bots go to "ENEMY" side.. or is it capped or wot.. can sm1 help!
PLZ....

0o n can sm1 tell me wot the bot ratio is .. plz im stupid ok wot is it plz... tnkx (in advance) =)

move the slider to the right past 50 and the enemy team should outnumber the friendlies.

Thats the problem.. it dnt its on 100 and the bots still get 48 players n i get 52 and no matter wot i chace the sliders too the number i put the bots players on is what the enemy get

Set bot ratio to 50%, and the number of bots on each side will be roughly equal. Anything different, and the sides will be unbalanced. Maybe that's your prob.

yeah thanks for tht 100 means all the bots or most go to other side but they dnt n i can only get 48 tops on enemy team

In future posts can you please use proper written English. There are a lot of different language users on this forum. I'm English and found your post very hard to read, imagine how they feel.

I've been having a peek at mods\pr_sp_08\settings\serversettings.con

and I haven't got a clue

I'd be interested to find out the answer also

If you are using in game settings make sure in this line of text:

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 0
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 47
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.9

It's set to 0 and not 1, or else in game settings won't count.

Granted, but someone whose native language isn't English, but has the same problem as yourself, might benefit from your question and our answer. I shouldn't think we are as snobbish about our English as the French are with their French!

Hello all, long time listener, first time caller.
Slight variation, but falls under the same topic so I don't think a new thread should be created.

I have just d/l the new SP version and have only been playing PR for 3 weeks.
I have an old machine, XP2000, 9600Pro radeon, 2gb ram.

I am trying to limit the number of 'players'.. bots and otherwise.

Why do the maps show 16/32/64 and yet the Default setting is to slam plenty of bots into those maps?
Example -Bi Ming. I have selected the 16 player map.. yet I have more than 2x as many 'players' playing?
If this is a selectable setting (in the background, such as the Settings files...) what needs to be editied please.

I am trying to limit the 'server' processing that this older PC is trying to chug out.

Thanks in advance.

16, 32, and 64 are simply the size of the map, not the number of players. The game doesn't adjust bot ratio's by the maps size.

Edit: Not quite correct, as there is a way to limit the number of bots per map:

Problem increasing bots - Battlefield SinglePlayer Forum (see post 6 and 7)

A 16 player sized map is simply smaller while the 64 is obviously larger to account for the extra numbers of players if required.

You need to adjust your bots to limit the numbers through the settings.
