Bots or no bots in the Cod4x server

[MANE]

Hey everyone,

I know this isn’t really related to the whole “keep the bots or not” discussion, but I wanted to ask — what happened to the Mininuke?

A few times I’ve actually managed to get one, but when I had it available, I couldn’t use it for some reason. Is it disabled, or is there something I’m missing?

Thanks for the info!

I have had the same issue.

Rugger is looking into it

Honestly, I think the influx of new players is purely just being on the CoD4x server list. There were new players prior to bots when the new mod went live. However, perhaps people join thinking its real players, then the real players are like... we just need 1-3 more! Ive seen some stay, some leave as soon as hey see bots. So, idk what's best? Try both choices over time?

Sometimes people see a number on the server and jump in. If the server is empty people often wait until more join.  So there's a value to having bots.  

Truth be told, these bots were created to stress test the mod for stability.  Their utility as adversaries was realized by accident.

The bot didn't happen to be called @RANDALL did it?

I like when a bot is using a shotgun on my team so I can use my ACOG class and pick up the bot's shotgun to have a good Overkill class.

I know it's all for the good of the server.
But I prefer it the way VHS described.
I don't really enjoy it this way—I got 4 nuke today.

but Cod4x is great

Hey guys!
Some players were complaining about the bot mod when there are few people in game, preferring to play 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 than with/against bots. It should be taken in consideration, I think, since it can be interesting to play with few people when the server is not crowded. Besides, I don't think that it is a way to attract more players to fill the server with bots. I believe that they come when they are ready/available. Maybe, I am mistaking about that but I was asked to pass the message to senior admins. So, done!
Have a good afternoon/evening.

We have it set now to remove the bots at 7 people

My thought is possibly to script bots to only be included on a schedule. Possibly in the late hours when the server is usually empty around 11pm-7am et. Just a thought. Not sure if it is doable to be scripted with the current engine.
