-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] First question: I'm not sure, but the auto_vacate may be for when the server is approaching capacity. Play around with it a bit? Any Valve employees want to comment? Anything in the wiki about this?
Second question: Have you tried setting it at a lower quota? (8 or so) Dan "Michael R. Matheson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- Here is what I've observed. When both -maxplayers and bot_quota were set to 16, teams would be 7 vs. 8. By changing -maxplayers to 18 and keeping bot_quota at 16, teams are now 8 vs. 8. I don't understand why this is so, since in both cases I had bot_auto_vacate set to 1 and mp_autoteambalance set to 1. I thought that with bot_auto_vacate set to 1, all player positions could be filled, and a bot would drop out automatically when a human tried to join. So I'm not sure why I couldn't have 8 vs. 8 when -maxplayers was set the same as bot_quota. By the way, HLTV was turned off. I've discovered something else that doesn't seem to work or make sense to me. I appreciated the explanation of the differences between normal, fill and match for the cvar bot_quota_mode. My understanding is that in normal, you should always have the number of bots specified by bot_quota. And in fill, you will have the number of bots specified by bot_quota minus any human players that join. In other words, you will always have a mixture of bots and humans that total the bot_quota setting. First question: Wouldn't "fill" be the same as using bot_quota_mode normal and bot_auto_vacate 1? I don't see a subtle difference here. Second question: bot_quota_mode match doesn't seem to work. My understanding was that when a human joined, one bot would join to "match" him. When I had bot_quota set to 16, I would get 16 bots. If I eliminated the bot_quota variable, I would get no bots. How do you properly use the bot_quota_match setting? Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan E Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 5:04 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch Bots will NOT completely fill a server (gotta allow for players to connect :P). Probably better to lower the bot_quota to 14 and let players fill the slots. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roman Hatsiev Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 4:53 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch I'm not sure about it, but it seems to me that bots cannot fill all slots.
