64 bots and maps in single player

[sniperp_99]

A couple of us have been playing more and more BF2 and tried to figure out how to get larger maps and more people in single player and me and jeric finally got it today.

For 64 player maps in single player downlaod this mod
http://bf2sp64.googlepages.com/

then to get 64 bots in single player
Open up the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\battlefield 2\mods\BF2\AI
Open up the file AIdefault.ai
I copied the main part you need to look at

rem Example for 32 bot game with expert bots

(*) rem aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
(*) rem aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64
(*) rem aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
(*) rem aiSettings.setBotSkill 1.0

To get more bots just remove just the REM in front of the ai settings here, i stared the ones you need to remove. You can change the number after setMaxNBots to whatever you want just dont go past 64 can cause the game to crash.

You will need to chane that file for any mod you have installed and want 64 player bots.

How many levels are there for the bot skill level?  What level do you recommend?

I think its anywhere from .1-1, 1 being the most difficult.
Also an update on # of bots im wrong you can set any number you want its just how stable it will be. I just had 120 bots, 60 vs 60, and it worked fine except i definently notice they get progressivly dumber as your increase the number of bots. Its not to noticeable except for their path finding is the biggest thing that suffers.

Question: So I remove:

 rem aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
 rem aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64
 rem aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
 rem aiSettings.setBotSkill 1.0

Or do I just change: rem aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64 ?

Can you edit the bots skills like in the bot profile file in counter-strike source?  On my dedicated server, I removed all the dumb ones and tweaked the skills on the existing bots....makes for some interesting shootouts but obviously the bots need an unfair advantage to win against us intellectual humans

you need to remove the REM from the front of those lines not the whole line. then you can change that max bot number to chenage the total number of bots
