Bot warfare on dedicated server

[tobipolar]

Thomaskuhh I downloaded the latest release from here https://github.com/ineedbots/piw5_bot_warfare/releases and extracted the .zip

tobipolar and if you use this one : https://github.com/ineedbots/piw5_bot_warfare/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

and go to the install.bat in the out folder and put script in.

Does that work ?

tobipolar The instructions were outdated because BW's install instructions changed.
My topic is now up-to-date https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/16348/how-to-play-with-bots-how-to-install-bot-warfare

Resxt New guide worked for me, now my only question is, is it possible to open the bot menu for the dedicated server in game or are they only configurable via dvars?

[Resxt]

tobipolar Yes but this is not ideal
You would need to set bots_main_menu to "1" and bots_main_GUIDs with your GUID
You can get your GUID by starting a private game and checking in the bootstrapper if you have BW installed iirc.
Or use my script https://github.com/Resxt/Plutonium-IW5-Scripts/blob/main/small_scripts/get_player_guid.gsc

Resxt I feel super dumb but where do I put your script?

Is it possible to spawn bots by editing or set the number of bots in the files, so that i dont need to do it ingame on my own server? Also, is it possible that if a real player joins the server, he just replaces a bot?

[tobipolar]

Resxt Your updated guide to installing bot warfare doesn't exist anymore and I forgot how to set it up

when I add a large number of bots, for example more than 5 for each team, I start to lag like I have a high ping, but since I play a private match, I cannot have a high ping, can someone know how to fix this?

Get a more powerful PC. Can't fix.
