Public match with bots

Tonyshn14

Hello!
How could I create a public match with bots to level up? It is that now when entering a public matcg it does not let you search for a game, and you can only level up by playing against people, and I would like to level up against the bots.
Thank you!

Yes you can very easily do that with no network knowledge or anything to know really

Follow the step 1 only from the server doc. Don't follow other steps such as step 1.2, you don't need a server key for this. Don't modify the server key in the bat file
Edit the .bat file and change the port to anything that's not the default port, so for example 5000 then save
Start the game
Once the game is started you can start the server by double clicking on the bat file you edited earlier
Go back to the game and after a few seconds (around 5) open the console and type connect localhost:5000.
Obviously replace 5000 with the port you chose in the bat file
For the bots part you can either manually spawn them with spawnbot 11 in the server's console (not in-game) or the recommended and best solution is to use Bot Warfare to have it automatically fill all your games with bots all the time and to allow for greater configuration. For Bot Warfare you can read this topic for MW3 but most of it is the same for BO2

Also note that since you are on a dedicated server you can easily configure rotations and use server only scripts like mapvotes script which allow you to have a semi random rotation and to vary maps and gamemodes instead of having the same rotation in the same order all the time.
For example you could use my mapvote script

Resxt Hello! Thanks for your reply. I have tried it and it works very well, except that at the end of the game they appear to choose random maps, and not the ones I have chosen using the mapvote_maps command. Do I have to enter this command before or during the game?

Thank you very much again!

Tonyshn14 mapvote_maps defines a list of available maps for the mapvote
Then once the killcam ends it displays some random maps from the list

It needs to be set in your server CFG so that it's permanent

Resxt The file I have to edit is tdm.cfg? I have opened it, but I don't know where I have to put the commands. It says that the first three lines of text in the document are not modified, which are the ones that start with set, and then commands that start with gts appear.

Thank you so much!

Tonyshn14 no it's your server cfg. The one that's set in your server bat
tdm.cfg is the config for the tdm mode, not your entire server

Simply copy and paste the CFG configuration I sent anywhere in the server cfg, before the map rotation and change the maps

dedicated.cfg in %localappdata%\\Plutonium\storage\t6

Resxt Hi, I did all of this, but in T5 and I get the error beacuse of the server key? I thought it's not needed for local servers?
