Greetings,
A few of my friends and I at work play the Beta at lunch but we can never get a team of Strogg that's all bots. It's pretty frustrating because we like to think of ourselves as fairly intelligent people, and the Server Launcher is pretty straight forward.
So, in the Bot Options we set the Minimum Clients to 8, we set 0 for GDF and 8 for Strogg. We also turn the team balance off. Problem is, when we start up the server, every single bot joins the GDF. What? We set GDF to ZERO! Why are they joining the GDF!
Ok fine, maybe the 'bits are flipped' so we set 8 for GDF and 0 for Strogg. Woo! All the bots join... GDF AGAIN!
So we tried to get around this by having 12 minimum bots, with 8 to Strogg and 4 to GDF, so that way we can just join the GDF and maybe force some bots out but again, no luck... the majority of bots are once again on GDF. Even if we try to use admin commands to move bots to the other team, it doesn't work. They'll end up "disconnecting" from the server, so the teams are either widly lopsided (GDF > Strogg) or we need to have the majority of us on Strogg. It's pretty lame.
Is this a known issue that I can't find or has nobody tried to do anything like this? I know there's a bot issue where bots won't make room for players when 'balance teams' is on but bleh. Is there a workaround if we do a .cfg server as opposed to using the Server Launcher?
Thanks!
