Adding bots in multiplayer

Any way to do this? I remember someone mentioned it a while back, but I can't find the thread. I dont care if they don't have any nav points setup, and can't grab flag....I just need some target practice :)

Nope sorry! It was a lame thing to leave out!! I feel your pain!!!

dont see why not, but nobody who can do it will.

Very easy to add them to a MP map, I've done it several times to test out maps I'm working on... the only thing I'm not eral sure on (because I've neer messed with it) is respawning them, but that seems like it should be doable via simple scripting.

you should tell him how

Can a dev comment on this please?

Bot AI is there, it's just a matter of a scripter adapting it so there are respawns and station access.

Everyone acts as if they know but they don't help! You guys rock.

'Cause it's not rocket science. ;)

Open up a SP map... select one of the bots, 'copy' it... open your MP map, 'paste' the bot. Open the bot's properties, set it to a team, and tweak its AI as desired.

You effer, that was rocket science.

How do you do that? Sorry for being a newbie.

:rofl:

problem from what I've found is that AI bots in SP know that there is only one player to look for. In MP there are multiple players, I've tried to get glorax working but no go, they just sit there and respawn after i kill em. its really boring.

Can anyone tell me where these files are at?

if someone could point me to the ai files, I wouldn't mind taking a look and editing a couple of them when I get the time

and adding pathing to all the mp maps :roller:

Bot pathing is witchcraft. All those who build them are heretics.

we need independantly thinking bots who dont need to use pathing. Though I think it would be best to have IGA implement it as a patch

Cinderkarst: Any tips on just spawning the bot on the map (w/o botNav files) I just need target practice...I don't care if they roam around aimlessly or just stand still...
