Tried adding bots same way as in bf2 and it doesnt work

[fallingleaf]

Can anyone explain why it doesn't have more then 8 bots when I edited the AIdefault file which is what you did in bf2 to add more bots?

I can't explain why you couldn't get it to work, I didn't have any trouble modifying the number of bots. I take it you are referring to single player?

I would guess your problem is one of two things - you are editing the wrong AIdefault file, or you have not edited the file correctly.

I am not sure either what the issue is I have edited the correct file it even states in the file the proper format to use. As I stated before I have already edited the BF2 File several times to adjust the amount of bots but when I edit the one in the SF folder it doesn't change a thing >_<

From memory the files are identical in form and function anyway. Just backup your SF copy of AIDefault, then copy over the file from vanilla BF2.

Does your file look like this:

aiSettings.setNSides 2
aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1

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

rem To spawn more than 15 bots in SP, use the following lines instead of the three lines above.
rem Note that this is totaly unsupported, it will affect your system's performance
rem and may even crash your game. That being said, you will most likely be able to run a lot
rem more bots than 15 on your system.

rem Example for 32 bot game with expert bots

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.4

run BotNames.ai

aiSettings.setInformationGridDimension 32


run AIPathFinding.ai

rem EOF

Here's mine, but this one is from my laptop and I can't remember when it was actually tested. I normally one of my other rigs to do this on.

I would normally run aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 1 as well, to keep a lid on numbers.

This worked for me.........I simply copied the file from regular BF2 to the SF folder. Also, I noticed the file called "botnames", or something similar. I was bored, so I opened it up and changed the names of the bots to names of people I know. It's kinda fun seeing your friends kill each other.:evil:
