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:
| 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.
