32 player w/ bots.

Is it possible to play the standard single player (with the bots and everything, 16 player) on a 32 player map?

Damn. Just reread your post (skimmed it 1st time) and noticed that you wanted to play on a 32-player map, not with 31 bots +you. Can't help you with that.

Look in \Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\AI and backup (zip or whatever) the file AIDefault.ai. Then edit the file with Notepad. Find the lines that read

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

and change them to

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 1.0

This gives you 32 bots of expert skill (the aiSettings.setBotSkill 1.0 setting) in single player. If expert is a bit much, try aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.7 or something (that should yield bots with 70% of expert skill).

I think it's possible, but I dunno how.

I thought I'd read some time ago about a mod that allowed that. The only problem was that the bots' "pathing" (defining routes for bots to move from point to point in a map) had only been generated for the 16-player map variations. So basically the bots either wouldn't enter the expanded portions of a 32-player map, or if they did would just wander about aimlessly. I can't remember exactly.

Not at all, actually. On the system in my sig, I see no speed difference at all between 16-player and 32-player bot games.

Re: 32 player w/ bots.

you can't, EA's too lazy to make 31 bots

Re: 32 player w/ bots.

There are at least 4 mods with larger maps for SP/Co-op play. Codebasher did the first one I know of.

codebasher's co-op32 mod: http://members.iinet.net.au/~codebasher/index.html
WCC co-op mod: http://www.wccsquad.com/
Mercenaries mod: http://www.mercenaries.dies-world.com/
Viathon's 64p map mod: http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22810 (I'd probably wait until he releases 1.04 of this)
