Way to set bots to 64?

[JonnyMacFred102]

I know there is a way to set it so that SP has more than 15 bots, but i don't know what thread it's in or where to find how to do it. The instructions in the aidefaults.ai file are useless. Anyone know what to change so that it will work (without crashing)?

It's really dependant on your system, but find the aiDefaults.ai file (should be the same folder as the ServerSettings.con file). There's instructions in the file on how to change the botcount.

Yeah I did. It said CON file, not aiDefaults. Way to edit your posts. Listen, it's not hard.

This is what it is by default:

aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 1
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

rem aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
rem aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32
rem aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
rem aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.6

Change it to:

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

Then save the file and load. It's not that hard.

No, the big maps don't have the ai set up for large maps. the increased bots work on 16 player maps only, unless you get a mod.

Damn, you saw my edit ment to clear up confusion. Sorry. Well thanks anyway, it works and it played pretty well with 32 bots. Now i have to try 64.

No problem.

And for further info, the guys over at Battlefield Singleplayer have AI Navmeshes for the 64 player maps. Yep.

DISCLAIMER: MAKE A COPY OF YOUR BF2 FOLDER BEFORE YOU LOAD THESE MAPS. THEY ARE CONSIDERED MODIFIED CONTENT, AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY ONLINE WITH THEM INSTALLED.
