Increasing number of bots?

[Rabid762]

Is there any way to increase the number of bots on a local COOP map?

I miss pre 1.0 where it was 32 on 32

Isn't that still in the settings when you start the map? I'm pretty sure you can still select up to 64.

maximum is 48 in those settings...

32 on mine, or is there another setting to increase?

decrease the amount of players on the left side slider, when its low enough you will be playing with 48 bots or something like that

there is a way of doing it, I remember testing the very first attempts at 1.0 weapon accuracy with 200 bots on kozelsk :P

Max number of bots on a local server with even teams is 96. after that the ratio becomes skewed.

To do so edit mod/pr/ai/aidefault.ai to look like

rem *** PRSP Ai v5 ***

echo **************************************************************************
echo ********************PROJECT****REALITY****AI****LOADED********************
echo **************************************************************************

aiSettings.setNSides 2
aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1

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

rem To override the amount of bots used in PRSP, use the following lines instead of the three lines above.
rem This will render the ingame menu and serversettings.con bot settings not used, as the following lines
rem of code overrides those settings.
rem Just remove the "rem" in front of the lines to make it read by the game, then edit the numbers as needed.

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 96
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.9

run botnames.ai
aiSettings.setInformationGridDimension 48
rem aiDebug.draw 1
run aipathfinding.ai

(Set the difficulty to whatever you want)

Then in game change the bot ratio to 100.
Bots on each team to 48, or half of whatever you set in the aidefault.
For example 64 bots would need the bot count set to 32.


And that's it, more bots.

Edit: While you can edit the aidefault and still retain the ability to play online I would advise to make a backup.

THIS IS GENIUS! Is the aidefault only advised as a backup for Online Co-Op or Multiplayer in general, don't wanna get kicked by PB for not having matching files
