mutiplayer bots

Post by Greg »

hi all
(I´m new here and I hope you can understand my english ; ))

I have downloaded the ord mantell map (great work by the way) and some other maps where you have a lot of bots in singel player. Now I want to known if its possible to add more than the 32 bots/team in multiplayer games.
If there is already exsisting such a mod please tell me where to find it.

The maximum limit of bots per team in Multi-Player mode must be coded in SWBF internal files... :? So, I don't think you'll be able to enhance this number easily...

PS : Where do you come from ? From USA, GB, etc... ? :wink:

I will look for the files. Hmm strange that it didn`t try someone else before to increase the maximum number of bots in multiplayer games.


ps: I´m from Germany

Can someone help me to find these files and tell me how to open and to edit them?
And another question: How can I enhance the number of bots in already exsiting maps. I think of geonosis- there were a little bit more soldiers on the battlefield in the film than in the game.
(sorry for such nooby questions but I have no real experience with modding)

Thanks for your help in advance :D

Wrong ! If you just want to modify the number of reinforcements of each side for some shipped maps, then I can help you, Greg... :wink:

I wanted to change the maximum number of bots in multiplayer games (for all maps) and the number of bots in some already exsisting maps (Geonosis ...) but I think that is impossible. :cry:
Leviathan can you tell me how to modify the number of reinforcements of each side ?

Just tell me how many reinforcements you want per side for each shipped map... (I'll be able to change this number only for Single-Player mode ; Not for Multi-Player : I simply don't know if it is possible...)

I think 450 for each side would be good.

For all shipped maps ? :|

Is that a Problem? I think it would be could because with 200 on each side I was just playing 10 or 15 minutes and the it was over. But I think 350 or 400 would also be good.

It isn't a problem : I just want to be sure not to "disappoint my customer"... :wink:
Next, you must choose : 350, 400 or 450 units per faction... :?

Well, here it is, Greg : https://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2MU ... 2W18O050RV :wink:

You just have to replace the shipped "mission.lvl" file (In "Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC") with this one. Of course, do not forget to make a back-up of the original file !
Next, load SWBF to see that any faction will have 450 reinforcements on all shipped maps... :)

I can send you a "project" (Which must be placed in your "BFBuilder" directory) to allow you to tweak the shipped "mission.lvl" file. After, you'll just have to modify the *.LUA files of your choice, and then, to run "munge.bat" to get a brand-new "mission.lvl" file... :wink:
Just tell me whether you agree... :)
