SUMO: SP_GAME_TYPE 0 (why not?)

[sinewav]

Seriously, why isn't this set on, like, every sumo server? Or even SP_NUM_AIS 0. Isn't it obvious that you should be able to draw stupid boxes by yourself while waiting for others to join? Single player mode for sumo is useless since you can't play against AI. Why not allow someone to practice mazing alone? Occasionally you have to wait quite a while for another player to show up.

Small idea presentation hint: don't act as if everyone who hasn't already implemented it is a bloody idiot. That makes people defensive

(Old Bugfarm Elimination had a special gamemode for single player games: a small grid with the three AIs, no sumo zone. I just haven't gotten to redo that yet.)

You can try to see how long you can keep the AIs in the zone

we had that in prutopolis sumo, and i always won because the bot is too stupid for the game (pardon) xD

flower power sumo assault has no bots... -> you are allowed to maze until you die

[hoop]

yea, actually it looks like only a 2 servers don't allow that... the most popular sumo servers
perhaps because they are almost never empty?

anyway you're right, it should be a standard for sumo servers

Sorry, I was a little wound up last night. I guess I'll try one of these other sumo servers I wasn't aware of (due to lack of popularity?). Meanwhile, I'll take my complaints where they belong, which is not here. Sorry again.

Actually, SP_GAME_TYPE is set to 0 on all sumo servers. You need to change a different setting to get rid of the bots:

Code: Select all

SP_TEAMS_MIN 1

EDIT: Never mind, that fix only works in Local Game...does anyone know how to get this to work? (no bots)

[Z-Man]

I'd say
SP_MIN_PLAYERS 0

[Infa(mous)]

Here's how I got it to work.

Code: Select all

SP_TEAMS_MIN 1
SP_MIN_PLAYERS 1
SP_NUM_AIS 0
