Re: How to play with bots ?
Can you start the game? after doing that, go to Co-operative... there you can start a LOCAL server or join one online...

Re: How to play with bots ?
Thought I'd add my bit here rather than starting another thread.
Should I be able to build assets in Coop/AI as could be done in previous versions when starting a Coop game ? I read the manual and did everything with number of crates and selecting the radio, but I never get a list of build items and cannot see "build remove asset" in the middle of the comma rose. If I can't then what scripts/settings do I need to alter to allow this. I don't mind about this causing sometimes strange bot behaviour.
Another thing. Is there a way to increase the number of bots above 32 and have PR server and client running on the same machine with auto-balanced teams ? I think the maximum should be 96 bots with 48 on each team. I had this running before with other mods, but had trouble with the (otherwise excellent) PR scripts preventing this.
BTW, I'm a bot addict. It just floats my boat for some reason seeing them "do their thing"
. This release is BRILLIANT for the number of navmeshed maps !

Re: How to play with bots ?
When you play coop on local server you don't need the crates and stuff to be able to build assets, the only thing you need is to be squadleader and have officer kit.
Afaik the maximum number of bots is 48 (24 on each team, depending on what bot ratio you set). You need to set the max player bar(The one on the bottom left when choosing maps) to something low(I believe it needs to be lower than 16) and then you will be able to drag the bot number bar to 48.

Re: How to play with bots ?
Ha, I was just forgetting the right click to bring up the radio for to my ear. Thanks. Can bots still mount HMG positions ? They used to use them although they might have just been ignoring them in the particular game I was running.
I got it up to 48 bots by starting from inside the PR interface. What about if I actually want to run a PR server for Coop ? I think I have to make an application for the right to obtain the server download, right ? Will that run a server above 48 bots ? However I just saw this on the application page ...

Does this mean there is no way to run a Coop server for bot only games or bot + human players ? I might consider running a server but what I'm really interested in is accelerating/improving bot behaviour by effectivly "threading" the AI by running a server on my machine (same machine as my client / multi core CPU and so on). This is part of a project I am doing here - http://www.moddb.com/mods/habaiWe do not issue licenses for home hosted or LAN-only servers.

You don't need license for local dedicated server. Although you probably won't have newest server files.

Re: How to play with bots ?
Ah, right. So I use the files that came with the PR download ? Copy across to my server ? I did do it that way a few months ago but had problems balancing bots, which is why I asked about the server files. On other mods the two "ratio" settings in Serversettings set to 100 allow balancing of 96 bots to 48 on each team ( see Proof of 50/50 96 bot team balance ). But this never works with PR, at least not in previous versions, have not tried with v1.0 yet. I think its something to do with PR scripting ... autobalance.py ?
