Auto Balance Problems with PRSP

[petarno12]

Hey,
I downloaded and installed PRSP 0.8 and everything works fine, but when i start playing i am the only one on my team, all the bots are on the enemy team.
Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem.

Thanks

Gotta put the ratio right, more ro the right puts more on the enemy team, 50:50 puts equal teams. Its in the settings above the maplist

Heya ! I've installed PRSP 0.85 (this was my first installation of a PR mod).
I've followed every step (i've installed PR 0.85 Core, then levels, then PRSP core and then levels) , but when i start the game, i'm the only one in my team.
I've tried the ratio to 50 with the max of bot, and even when i put 1 bot, it still the same (i'm the only one in my team, and there's 48 bot in the other).
Is there any way for fixing this problem ?
I've tried this in SP and Deploy, but no change.

Thanks.

Umm yeah there is a way to perhaps to fixing it, I think the bot amount is on a fixed number, so turning it down in the game will do nothing, ratio though is what you wonna look at. If you have it on 50(ratio) but the bots, all 47 are on the enemy’s side, try turning the bot ratio down for example: I looked myself and found it was fixed on 47 bots and it lagged my system because I turned the graphics on top, so what I did was turn it down (the actual file, and changed it with notepad.) its on 27 now, but instead of me doing the ratio to 50 I put it to 28 and it evened out the forces to 13/14 and 14/14 including me.
So for your case perhaps try turning the number to ratio of 1 or 5, and if all the bots are on your side change the ratio to something between 10 and 50 to even out the forces, until you got it right, if I didn’t hit the problem I cant help but perhaps outlaw can.

I have the same problem as ATR3YU and I couldn't solve it by just dragging the bot ratio slider. I also have 48 bots in any game, no matter what number I put in.
Could somebody please explain me what to do, because Black's how and what didn't quite help me out (what file is he even talking about )
Thanks in advance!

Guys I found it, searched the forums again and this is the solution (thanks to zone36):

You will see the following code:

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 47
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.9

Edit that code so it reads like this:

rem aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
rem aiSettings.setMaxNBots 47
rem aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
rem aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.9

Save the file. Now your bot level customizations will work properly.

Hope this helps.

I've tried what you told me Black, i've put the ratio to 5, then to 1, then to 10, but no change !
So i started editing aidefault (\mods\pr_sp_08\ai) and finally found a way (but that's quite hard when you don't have a good computer).

aiSettings.setNSides 2
aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1
aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 95
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.1
run BotNames.ai
aiSettings.setInformationGridDimension 32
run AIPathFinding.ai
rem EOF

i think ingame parameters don't change anything but i use:
max player : 16
bot ratio : 0
number of bot : 48
no balanced team.

Then you play the game with 95 bots (omg ) but i got over 25 fps at the deployment area with my poor computer ( 2x3ghz, 4gb ram, 8500gt 512mb o/c and i play with the highest graphisms) and 5 fps in a close-combat area => just unplayable !
(I've chosen 95 cause the enemy side is locked up to 48 players (even when you change the number of bot) and so if you want to play the game with the same number of players in each team...)

I still waiting a better fix if someone finds one ! cause playing with 95 bots is... crazy !

[edit] I've also tried KarlW's solution but no change [edit]

[edit again] So, i finally deleted every lines of aidefault except "aiSettings.setNSides 2" and "aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1" to see what happens... my side : 1 player, the other 48 ! Do I have to conclude the 48 bots are locked in another file ? and which one ? [edit again]

[KarlW]

Are you sure you edited the right file? The solution I found did work for me, I could adjust bot ratio and numbers in PR easily.
Just deactivate all "aiSettings." lines by putting "rem " in front of them, they're the reason why you can adjust the settings in PR itself. At least, that's all I did, and now it works fine here.
If you edited the right file and it still doesn't work, I have no idea what the problem is.

No way ! I've tried everything you told me, and i even uninstalled my BF 2 game, deleted my profiles, and everything about BF 2 in my registry ! And it doesn't work .
So i just give up -_-.
Thanks for helping me guys !!!

(If someone resolves the problem, i'll keep an eye on the forum !)
