Hey guys, i've veen playing with pr for a long time, but recently i've thought it would make the game much more exciting if I could play with more than 64 bots, the thing is, no matter what I try to do, I always end up with the teams horribly unbalanced, like 32 to 96 players, and I don't know how I can fix that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This one will really solve your problems but it requires you to edit files so backup your old ones

I'm trying this, currently reinstalling project reality, so backup the files in C:/program files/bf2/mods/pr/ai and C:/users/[yourusername]/mydocuments/battlefield 2 before you do any change to those files
If you need default files and default CO-Op Settings, I can upload it to you to restore the CO-OP settings to default. Just PM me.

This is something I've been looking into. BF2 appears to be setup by default to be able to 50/50 balance a maximum of 96 bots - 48 on each team. Anything above this will balance unevenly (any bots over 96 will go onto one of the teams leaving the other at 4

. I've been experimenting with a custom autobalance.py script after some discussion on
BF Editor Portal but no cigar yet.
Anyway, I think any bots above 96 don't receive orders from the commander and just stand around, although I think they will fight if the enemy is near.
BF2142 does not suffer from the balancing problem. You can have 50/50 balanced 128 bots. If this is to do with the Python or something in the executable I don't know yet, although even it its in the exe there can be Python work arounds.
EDIT: Does anyone have the server files for 0.87 ? This is what I'm testing with as it was the last release to work with BF version 1.41 - 1.5 broke a lot of bot functionality.
