Fun-bots - TDM - AI - Bots for BF3-VU

Thank you very much! I’m back now and I think i will be able to investigate this further this week. This really helps a lot!!

There already is a setting called “BotWorseningSkill” this affects the aiming and the reaction and spreads the skill over the bots.
The reaction and aiming related to the distance is a good point and I just put it on my TODO-List. Thanks for that!

Hey, I just started using your bots. They are pretty good. Now, I started the server on my computer using “vu.server”. Then I joined the match with the “vu.client”. As you have told, I pressed the F12 to get bot editor but it says that I am not the admin. So, how do I give myself access?

1.you can use RCON commands if you know how to do so, see fun-bots permissions
or
2.add command to your server startup.txt like this: funbots.Permissions playerid *
or
3.edit config.lua at Mods\fun-bots\ext\Shared folder, set “IgnorePermissions” to true

for No.2, change “playerid” with your own ingame id, but I’m not sure if it works because I personally use No.1, and if you try No.3, you are giving everyone the permissions

Hi guys, I’m really sorry for asking help with such a stupid issue, but I’ve damaged my brain already trying to find out what I’m doing wrong.
So, the problem is that I cannot spawn any moving bots (bots with !row command spawn and die after 5-7 sec).
I’m running home dedivated server with standart parameters, I have no any other mod enabled, “vars.roundRestartPlayerCount” and “vars.roundStartPlayerCount” parameters in Startup.txt are set to 0.
Permissions are set via procon for my player:

But adding bots neither via bot menu nor via chat command int’s possible:

Parameters in Config.lua in mod folder are default.
Version of the mod is 2.0.0.0.
Any ideas where is the problem?

@Ksanatos
vars.maxPlayers <num>, this command in startup.txt will limit your total players including bots, or you can add it and give a number to the limit.
or maybe it’s some command in config.lua(Mods\fun-bots\ext\Shared), search “spawn-limits” or “max” in this file, and check the limits.

@asen2868
Thank you for your reply, I’ve cheked this values - both (vars.maxPlayers in Startup.txt and MAX_NUMBER_OF_BOTS in Config.lua) are set to 64.
In spawn-limits section of Config.lua all parameters are default, specifically “MaxBotsPerTeamDefault” and “MaxBotsPerTeamCl” are set to 32 per team.

@Ksanatos
that’s weird, maybe it’s because of the other commands in your startup.txt conflicting with funbots mod, also check procon bf server config panel.

Question - on Conquest/Domination/Assault, is there an option for bot respawns to drain tickets as actual players normally would? Perhaps I’m missing something in the config, but currently I’m not seeing their deaths/respawns affect the scores, and it’s causing matches to run long.

Is there an option to control the bot spawn rate in vehicles?

What map are you using?
When the Bots you spaned die after a few seconds you are very likely in an area they are not allowed to stay.
Are you sure that the map and gamemode you are trying them to spawn is supported?

Hi, this is a Bug in VU atm. But I will try to write a workaround for this.

Bots don’t spawn in vehicles, they jsut use them when they are available and they come along one.

Only default maps - I’ve tried Metro, Firestorm and Noshar, several places (incuding right near the capture zones) in CQ and TDM.

I jsut sent you a PM. Maybe we can find out what causes you problesm…

Thanks for the response! I’ve written a quick implementation of this into my local copy of the plugin. It’s probably not perfect as I didn’t take too much time to fully understand the existing code, but it seems to do the job for now.

Great! Can you send me that Code? Then I can implement it directly or maybe optimise it before…

Sure! I’ve sent you a PM.

Is it possible to tone down the difficulty? My kids find it too hard and they get frustrated. Thanks for such a great mod.
