Adding BOTs. URGENT~~

[hoshinokakashi]

Heyya guys. I'm a serious noobie at BF2 server making, and I'm in trouble. I've decided to make a small LAN party and the boys are coming over. We decided to play a LAn game againts bots or ai players.

What I wanna know is:

1) Do I need a special download to enable bots in BF2

2)What is the command to activate or add the bots

3) Where I can find the download needed for the bots

Thank you and please do help . >__<

You can play against bots in 16 player maps without mods.

Simply have one computer start a single player game, and then have all of the other computers start a multiplayer game and point to the first computer's LAN IP address.

Oh boy...if you don't understand what I mean by that, then methinks you're going to have a difficult time hosting a LAN party

Ok...on the machine that is going to host, bring up a command prompt by going Start->Run-> type in 'cmd' and hit enter

In the command prompt, type in 'ipconfig'. This will display the internal LAN IP address of the machine. Write this number down.

Load up BF2 on this machine in single player mode. Keep it running with a map loaded.

Make sure that everybody else has their machine connected to your LAN and working properly. Have them load up BF2 and go into the Multiplayer screen. Then hit the 'Connect to IP' button and have them type in the IP address you wrote down a minute ago.

They should connect to you and voila...you're playing 16 player maps with bots without having to use a mod.

Within the next couple of days, West Coast Combat will be releasing WCC COOP Mod 2.0! Which consists of several new maps with full bot support on 64 player sized maps. The mod has vanilla maps and Special Forces maps, and many new vehicles! Non-Single player maps such as Mashtuur City now has full bot support as well, be on the lookout of the release, soon.........

There you have it..straight from the horse's mouth..so to speak

The only problem is, that won't help you with your impending 'LAN party'.

This seems like an almost appropriate thread to toss this question in: I'm running a Linux dedicated server as a practice spot for my clan... There's a ton of us that can't bomb or fly a helo worth crap for example. Is there a way to enable bots for a Linux dedicated server without using a mod that changes anything other than adding bots as the ones referenced above seem to?

I don't want to change vehicle stats and the like as the whole reason the thing is there is to get better for playing on ranked servers, but since there's only a handful of us that want to be able to practice there's a serious need for at least a handful of bots. Any help?
