ETQW pro bot problem


(matt897) #1

Hi, i’m not sure if this is posted in the right area or not but here it goes. I have a ETQW pro server that i’m trying to get bots working with. I enabled bots in the server.cfg file however…i cant specify how many bots i want…etc. What do i need to do to get the mod and the bots working together?

Thanks in advance

Shouldn’t be any different with etqwpro than with base vanilla config, so just try the usual setup.

Here’s a sample of a working setup for 16 bots:



// Bot settings
seta bot_enable "1"
seta bot_minClients "16"
seta bot_uiNumGDF "-1"
seta bot_uiNumStrogg "-1"
seta bot_balanceCriticalClass "1"
seta bot_sleepWhenServerEmpty "1"
seta bot_skill "2"  
seta bot_aimSkill "1"
seta bot_uiSkill "3"


But make sure the setup is actually deployed in the server, this can often be a problem at times with mods (and custom maps). Locate the file etqwpro/etqwdedconfig.cfg and check that it actually have those settings after adding it to server conf. If they’re not there, try to exec the server config from rcon, or edit the file directly when server is not running.

thanks for the quick reply. Late last night after going through everything I realized that everything could be done also with the bot_ command. I was able to enable them quickly, and now I can seta bot_ to whatever my clan needs.

Thanks again

Great! :smiley:

What’s your server btw, and have you added any custom maps? aka etqw 2.0 :wink:
