Having only 1 ai in sp mode

Post by dukevin »

It seems impossible to have 1 ai in single player mode unless playing local; i've tried everything.

This is what I have with no success (using sty+ct servers):

Code: Select all

   <Setting name="sp_auto_ai" value="0"/>
   <Setting name="sp_num_ais" value="1"/>
   <Setting name="num_ais" value="0"/>
   <Setting name="team_balance_with_ais" value="0"/>
   <Setting name="sp_team_balance_with_ais" value="0"/>
Why doesn't this work when it should?

1. Don't put settings in maps unless you have a very, very good reason.
2. sp_min_players 0 is also required.

Thanks zman.

But having settings in map rids the need for a cfg file especially one that spawns zones with delay_command

That counts as a very, very good reason :) Spawned zones are logically part of the map. But team/AI settings usually are not; putting those in maps limits their usefulness. Exceptions would be the min_players and max_teams setting if your map doesn't have enough spawn points to host more than two teams. Hmm. I guess all the settings you put in the map fall under that category. So ignore me, I didn't think this through :)
