Poll: bot_minplayers

bot_minplayers automatically adds/kicks bots if the number of humans on the server is less than bot_minplayers. For example if it's set to 2 and there is 1 human, there will be 1 bot.

I think 2 is the best setting for pub.

I set this to 2 on your server, Laser, but you set it back to 6. I joined a Korri game and it was filled with annoying faggot bots repeatedly suicide jumping into the lava every second. I really don't think pubbers enjoy playing with that.

2 is good because it is enough to keep the server from being empty, but it's not enough to be annoying to people who actually want to play. Maybe others enjoy having legions of useless bots on the server at all times. I don't know. Here's a poll.

I voted 6+, and I'm really keen to see how this poll turns out.

I agree that more bots are annoying. However, it seems to attract people on to the server more than having 2 minplayers. I think the level of nab joining the server when it's empty doesn't mind having a load of bots to play with until the server fills up.

I actually think four is optimum, you can always find at least 4 in form Premier League players but 6 is sometimes a struggle.

Idc how many bots are in empty server, 6,4,2 w/e but when 4 players will play in that server 2 bots should be max, if 6 players 0 bots etc. Tempest worked like this or sth.

Just to clarify, these are minimum player so they will be kicked as players join.

Yes good point, or do whatever to make them stop jumping (annoying jumpsounds and no difference between jumping into pit or walk into pit : o).

Tempest activity died as soon as bots were added to that server.

2 cents.

Jumping can be turned off with b_e, but it adds a problem in that the bots clog the doorways on maps like hoth and can't be moved easily (think 1st obj defence).

No prob with knockback on. Pub games aint that serious to make problems about loosing few seconds to knock off dumb bot.
