Battlefield 2 Question

Kazu

whats the single player like how many bots on each map can be used

Ponster

IMHO we'll have to wait for a mod before the bots are good enough. They can fly better than in BFV but a lot of the time they're still too eay to kill once you sneak up behind them.

All Single Player maps are limited to 16 players (bots) unless you change an .ini file to give you 32 or 64.

Wow. I didn't know it should be hard to kill someone from behind when they don't know youre there.

Ponster

The prob is that if there are 4 bots on the ground cos they detect an enemy up ahead, I just have to stroll up and shoot them one by one. The other 3 don't turn around, nor react to your firing, once you kill the first one.

do you have a link how to do this

Below post titled Mods for Bf2.


Scripting within the python scripts will be easy enough for someone to add in AI, very difficult for them to create it i would imagine a mod team would take 3 months to make less insane AI.

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\mods\bf2\AI

Go there and open Botnames with Wordpad and edit them to your family, friends, boards posters, footballers you hate etc:

So when they get in a jet fly it straight into a tank or humvee full of their own team you can say" hey jack is an idiot and would have done that".

search: BF2/mods/bf2/ai than open aidefault.ai with Wordpad


rem aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
rem aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32
rem aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
rem aiSettings.setBotSkill 1.0

Delete the rem before the aiSettings... and change the setting to whatever you want ( 32,48, 64)

I didn't know that. Bit stupid as thats means none of the 32-64 versions are available in Singleplayer (without modding). Also just found out that only 10 maps are available for single player!! (Bit pissed bout this also as really wanted to try out kubra_dam with lotta bots, dont know whats the other map though)

Is there any way to have a larger map on Sp (to get flying practice)?

or to include bots if you start a server?

Smellyirishman

For flying practice create a LAN game and play with yourself :rolleyes:

for the demo, the map was modded so that 32 bots in 32 player map (though not perfectly) so i'm presuming it can be done for others (i hope)

Where did you see that? Note not more bots thats easy , getting the game to run a Sp map in 32 or 64 size.




Afaik the game is "locked" Single player can only play on 16 player maps.

You can trick the game to play larger maps in single player. For each map in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\mods\bf2\Levels\mapname. Unzip the server.zip file in the current directory and rename the original server.zip file to something like server-bak.zip. You'll now see many more files and folders in the mapname directory.

In the mapname\gamemodes\sp1 directory you'll see a directory named 16. Simply rename it to 32 (you can try 64, but I haven't done that yet because I only have done this with the demo). When you start single player it will only show you a 16 player map, but when you load it you will get the larger map.

Dunno how well it works, it may not work at all. If you want to try though, it won't hurt...
