Aaaahh! A light bulb turns on! I guess bot_quota_mode match was working properly. I noticed 16 bots with one human at bot_quota 16 and 4 bots with one human at bot_quota 4. I mistakenly expected the ratio to always be 1 human to 1 bot. I like the variability better.
Is there a way to predetermine the number of bots that join terrorists or counter terrorists? I know you can add one at a time in the server console with bot_add_t or bot_add_ct, but can you just have a server start with say 8 terrorists and 4 counter terrorists. And then maybe just have humans join the counter terrorists? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Veltidi Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch If you use bot_quota_mode match, it will keep a ratio of 1:N of humans to bots where bot_quota is N. For example, if you set bot_quota to 2 and bot_quota_mode match, and had 5 human players, there would be ten bots in. If you set bot_quota to 1, and had 5 humans in, then 5 bots would be in.
