  1. Explain no.

  2. Dedis = dedicated servers, GSP = game service providers.
    Public dedis - You’ve got the dedicated server files and you can make your
    own private server.

For 2. Its “Public dedis” - as far as I know :slight_smile:

Thanks thats great. I’ve meant PC ofcourse.

I think if you run your own server you should be able to specify less players per team

If you’re entering a 16 players server, you must wait for the server
to be full or there is a minimum players for starting a game and other slots will be
filled with AI or empty waitng for others players to join ?

I’m asking that because AI combine with human players is a very bad idea for MP.

Lets say the server is full with 16 players and someone leaves. Is it going to be 8 ver 7 or the empty slot will be filled with AI player ??

From what I understand, you can start with just yourself and bots, and empty slots will always be filled with bots (unless there’s an option to disable them).

I have a question too, though: On the consoles will there be party support? (i.e. join games as a party, keeping parties on the same team, etc…)

By default I believe a leaving player will be replaced by a bot. As to why this is a ‘very bad idea’ I’m not sure. I’d rather have even numbers and a bot contributing than be a man down with no contribution at all.

Wasn’t this already explained 15 months ago? :rolleyes:

When a player leaves a bot instantly takes its place and when a player joins the bot get’s replaced again.

(LyndonL) #12

I’m sure a server CVAR can be set to disable bots autofilling players slots.

(Weapuh) #13

Does make sense to be able to disable bots. Wondering if theyll have a vote function for such commands as well?

(Herandar) #14

There are Fireteams in-game. You link up with a buddy and you will never be separated. Not sure if the same will apply to external parties, but it does seem to be fairly standard nowadays.

(Auzner) #15

The teams get stacked and no one switches because “oh they have bots, that’s good enough, so why bother balancing?”

“Hey we’ve got 4 bots and no one has joined for a whole round, how about 2 of you move to our side for 6/2 vs 6/2?”

(DarkangelUK) #16

Yes, because a blank slot always made people switch it up rolleyes. The whole reason I want a bot in there is for exactly the opposite reason… people don’t switch regardless, and i’d rather have a bot than nothing at all.

(Nail) #17

bot control will be up to server config, set as you like

(Auzner) #18

Yeah the bots filling spaces is the lesser of the two evils.

(Nail) #19

I like bots, they don’t rage quit or worry about K/D and most are friendly and polite

and damn, those bobots could dance

(Bullveyr) #20

Maybe for you (and many others) but not for me (and many others). :wink:

I simply don’t have any interest in playing against bots if I go online regardless of how smart they are.
