I have figured out how to get more bots for an Omnicide dedicated server. I remember that back then when the mod was really popular, I managed to get a 100 zombie server working (also, this video proves somebody else achieved it too).

Anyways, what I managed to get right now is 60 bots. Still, at least thats better than the 48 we have default.

Just edit this file:
BF2 Server\mods\Omnicide_Final\AI\AIBotChanger.ai

Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
rem 60 0.4
aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 60
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.4
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0


What's interesting is that if you set it to e.g. 90 bots, these 90 bots are present at the moment a human player spawns into the map. It looks like a server script tries to switch all bots onto the zombie team. Then the server crashes. A possible solution could be that the AI balance settings are set up in a way so that they are in the zombie-team from the beginning. Maybe this way, the script then wouldn't run into trouble.

Maybe we could up the bot number to 60 on the Lost-Soldiers server. Would be great!
If I make any progress towards even more Zombies, I'll let you know. On the other hand, it might be questionable if it even makes sense, considering server performance.

Update, managed to get 80 bots running. So far, these steps were made:
(a "complete guide" meant also for myself in case i forget again wink )

Setup a BF2 standalone server shortcut. In the "Target" field, set:
Code:
1.
"D:\Games\BF2 Server\bf2_w32ded.exe" +modPath mods/Omnicide_Final +config mods/Omnicide_Final/ServerSettings.con


Create a file D:\Games\BF2 Server\mods\Omnicide_Final\Settings\maplist.con
Code:
1.
mapList.append Iron_Gator gpm_coop 16


ServerSettings.con (Copy an original version from the mods/bf2/ folder and paste into mods/Omnicide_Final/ )
Edit these three lines:
Code:
1.
2.
3.
sv.teamRatioPercent 0
sv.coopBotRatio     100
sv.coopBotCount     110

(the third must be any number higher then the desired bot count, but doesnt directly influence the real bot count!)

Edit this line in D:\Games\BF2 Server\mods\Omnicide_Final\AI\AIDefault.ai
Code:
1.
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 80


Edit D:\Games\BF2 Server\mods\Omnicide_Final\AI\AIBotChanger.ai
Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
rem 80 0.4
aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 80
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.4
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
Thanks

Interesting, I'll take a look when I have more time. I remember that it was a bit of a pain to increase the bots so, do we really need more zombies? smile Perhaps it could be fun, perhaps it's not necessary. We'll see ...

More bot i think no Italy S_h_a_r_k_93 , but what about increasing the bot skills to hmm 0.9? I use this setting for my local mod server. It is a challange.

That's already the skill of the bots on the Omnicide server. smile No, actually it's 100 (or 1.0 in the mod's default AI file settings). You think it performs better with 0.90 (or 90 in the server settings)? I'm not sure to be honest.

The aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1 is not turned on our server, therefore I believe the serversettings skill value (100) is the one being taken (just like the bot count, 48, which I think I had to wire in the configuration file or I don't remember how I did it, it was painful though, because BF2CC limits it to 32 maximum).

No i thought it was down under 0.9. Thatfor i suggested the setting to level it up. 1.0 is even the best challenge we can have. Well done Sir. smile
The Number of Bots have to be regulated on the Server in the Mod Folder. BF2 / Mod / Omnicide / ai. In the file aidefault.ai you need to change the value. You'll see!
