Hi! I just wanted to know if there is a way of adding bots to the multiplayer LAN type of game and i also wanted to know if there is a way of playing the multiplayer maps in singleplayer/co-operative (Maps such as Falklands, Vietnam?s, Normandy etc) If there is a way, could you guys explain it to me? Because i really want to play this maps in SP. Do i have to modify any folder of the game or something?

Thanks in advance!

When in the game, go in Co-op > Local > Create game

You can play multiplayer with bots, but not all maps support bots. You can't play Normandy maps with bots for exemple, same for Falklands and Vietnam because they need to be "navmeshed" which means adding routes for the bots and telling them what they can do on maps.

Can you give me some examples of the maps that support bots so i can test them?

*edit*
Wait, uhmm i do not think you get the idea of my question, i was asking if i can add bots to the multiplayer maps while on LAN and if is there any way to play the multiplayer maps that are not available in co-op while playing LAN.

The maps you see in co-op are the only maps that you can have bots on. The only way you can have bots on maps not in co-op is if you edit the map and add them yourself.


And then can't you go in Deployment and choose LAN (or equivalent)?

You can play multiplayer maps over LAN, but you just cannot have bots on them. Deployment > Create Local

The map pack is now a component of v.98, as are Vietnam, Normandy, and Falklands.

no it is not I believe.

v0.98 contains:
PR:BF2 v0.97 Map Pack (7 new maps)
PR:BF2 Vietnam Addon (5 new maps, 3 new factions)
PR:BF2 Falklands Addon (2 new maps, 2 new factions)
PR:BF2 Normandy Addon (4 new maps, 2 new factions)

as far as I know 0.98 added nothing new to COOP.

Of course, that's the SP pack Moszeusz6Pl linked, as he clearly stated. I need to clean my glasses.

No, 0.95 SP mappack is not 0.97 Mappack, and isn't included in PR 0.98. You need to download it separately.
