Author Topic: Increasing the maximum amount of Bots in Speedkart  (Read 1747 times)

I recently made a castle siege speedkart course in which you drive through a castle while humans and orcs are going to town fighting. Lots of props and stuff happening inside to make it interesting!
Only problem is that I have a total of about 80 bots on this build, many of which are constantly fighting each other, and one of them is mandatory to kill in order to win the game. I've learned that the speedkart gamemode by default only supports around 50 max players/bots, making the mandatory-to-kill bot not respawn after the first round.

I've tried jumping into the speedkart gamemode myself to see if I could change up the settings, but they just don't carry over to the gamemode when I launch it. Is the gamemode itself unable to be modified (i.e., will I have to repackage pretty much the entire gamemode to make changes), or is there a value I can change somewhere in its config file to allow over 80 bots/players?

It's a pref. You need to change the pref in Gamemode.txt. If I'm not mistaken, it's the following prefs:
$Server::Quota::Player 100
$Server::Quota::Vehicle 50
$Server::MaxPhysVehicles_Total 20

Just change them all to 9001.

Changing these limits usually results in you're pc's preformance getting destroyed

Depends. Having the limits set to 9001 will not kill your performance unless you spawn those 9001 bots/vehicles/players.

Odd, I thought I changed those values from 50 to 100 at the very least. I'll have to give it a go again once I'm off work.

Try setting the zip to ReadOnly if the value was changed.

From what I recall I set it to about 100, and it was saved just fine, just it didn't change in-game. I think I only changed the Player quota however, so I'll try making vehicle + player quotas higher and turning the .zip to read only when I can.

Okay, after getting back onto my home computer I tried both those tactics and it hasn't changed the bot spawning bits at all. Changed all the player/vehicle/physVehicle maxes to 999. After getting into the game there's no change to how many bots can be allowed. Read only didn't change anything either.

I'm looking in the Add-Ons/Gamemode_Speedkart.zip area. Is there a Gamemode.txt elsewhere I should also be changing, or something similar I should change?

You could try changing it in your prefs but IIRC, Gamemode.txt overwrites them. I'm not sure what else I can tell you.
