thanks! I thought I was missing some new repository you were using, all the usual sites were't yielding the new version.

My bots just kinda sit in the spawn after I created the .nav file offline and uploaded it. Do I need to edit my .nav file to get them to leave the spawn area?

Every time my bot count changes, my chat gets flooded with text saying that sv_tags has been changed. It spams it about 4 or so times

You can thank Valve for that. Install Tidy Chat or something.

I'm seeing odd behavior with quota. At least I think it is odd, perhaps I'm recalling a time before I used this module.

So, here are the settings I'm using related to player numbers/bots:

Code:

on startup I'm using +maxplayers 18

in server.cfg:
sv_visiblemaxplayers 16
sm_bot_quota 12
sm_bot_on_team_only 1
sm_bot_game_logic 0
sm_bot_supported_map 1
sm_bot_join_after_player 0

What I'd like to see is when teams are unbalanced by 1 or more, to remove or add bots as needed.

Example of 6 bots on each team. I will join red. Red bot leaves. Teams are balance, 6 bots on blue, 5 bot + 1 human on Red. If I switch teams and jump over to Blue, the bots do not change, so now there are 6 blue bots + 1 human against 5 red bots.

I could swear at one point this was changing as I expected and if I switched teams it would auto-balance again.

Am I missing a cvar or perhaps a module that would handle this?

This plugin doesn't do that. Do you have mp_teams_unbalance_limit set to 0 or >1? If it's set to 1 it shouldn't allow you to join a team if doing so would put the teams out of balance (iirc). This forces you to join spectate first, which properly triggers Bot Manager to add/remove bots.

my face is red.. apparently I failed on an edit at some point and mp_teams_unbalance_limit was... 10.

talk about stacking the team. sorry to waste your time on this, but thank you for pointing me in the correct direction.

Hey Doc, I was looking at the code and I can't really figure out why did you create a timer which fires every 0.1 seconds to check the bot situation. Wouldn't it be better to hook the events related to players joining or changing teams and react to those instead?

Doesn't this 0.1 loop timer consumes more resources?

Not trying to disprove you or anything. Since you're more experienced programmer than me, I'd like to know why did you do that. Maybe I'm doing things the wrong way here.

It was just an easier way to do it and the performance hit is negligible.
