[CSGO] What does it take to make sure there is always a bot?

blaacky · **Author**

I've made a plugin which needs the server to have a bot to be useful. CSGO seems nazi about bots and only let them spawn when there is enough spawns. I am posting in this forum section because I'm fairly sure it should require some coding to get it working.

The error I get on some maps when using the bot_add command is this: "Could not add bot to the game: The game is full". Sometimes the bot will join but is kicked the very next tick I think.

My server cvars:
mp_limitteams 0
mp_autoteambalance 0
bot_quota 1
bot_quota_mode match
bot_join_after_player 0

Things I tried:
- The CreateFakeClient function almost seems to work accept that the bot's command rate always seems to be half of the server's tick rate. I can't use it for that reason.

- Creating more spawns OnMapStart. Doesn't seem to work. EDIT: This actually does seem to help prevent the "Could not add bot game is full" message. It doesn't prevent the other bug where the bot just leaves as soon as it enters the game.

you want 1 bot no matter how many human players are on... or you want 1 bot for every human player?

1 bot not matter how many human players are on. It's a replay bot for my bhop timer.

Got the same problem, also with my replay plugin.

I have this issue as well, bot wont join until a real player connects

Well in your case Proz, you could try setting bot_join_after_player 0, so it will auto join based on the quota/fill mode without waiting for a player to be in the game.

Here is the console output:

L 02/03/2016 - 17:12:20: "!replay<7603><BOT><>" entered the game
L 02/03/2016 - 17:12:20: "!replay<7603><BOT><TERRORIST>" disconnected (reason "Kicked by Console")
L 02/03/2016 - 17:12:20: "!replay<7603><BOT>" switched from team <TERRORIST> to <Unassigned>

EDIT: Ok it turned out to be that for some reason bot_quota was still 0. I looked through my code and couldn't find out why so I changed it and it seems the problem is fixed until further notice
