<![CDATA[Bot Warfare Mod not working in WaW ded server]]>Hi,
I’ve set up a dedicated WaW server that works fine, but I can't activate the bots. I installed Bot Warfare v2.3.0 and configured it accordingly in the start.bat (set mod="mods/mp_bots") and server.cfg (set bots_main_firstIsHost 0) files. When I launch the client and server, "Mod loaded:mod/mp_bots" appears, but the keys to activate the bots in-game (primary + secondary grenade buttons) don't work. However, the bots work fine when I host a game without using a dedicated server. Do bots need to be activated differently on a dedicated server?

thanks/regards,
Andy

Setting bots_main_firstIsHost to 0 disables making the first player to connect being considered as host by the mod. So, you can either set the dvars manually through the server cfg and change them through the server console, or add your GUID to the bots_main_GUIDs dvar to be able to use the menu without needing to worry about giving access to the menu to other players.
