BOTS
OK, you can play bots on either a LAN game, Dedicated Server game or single player match.
If used on a Dedicated server ... you can have at MOST 2. They use a new seek and destroy code
that is very CPU intensive. To bring up bots just press Zero (0). To remove bots .. do the same.
The difficulty level of the bots can be set from 1 to 5 with five being the highest. I personally like level
five, but I don't really care if I win or not. Most people have complained about the difficulty above level 3.
Wussies ;-)
If server.cfg (or what ever .cfg file you have exec to set your default play) just add:
set botskill 3
Simple enough right?
Single-Player vs. Authorized Server
I have received numerous emails about this. So here is the scoop:
I included a batch file called SglPlay.bat that will take you into the action and let you practice, or fire up a listen server
directly from the single player mode. Just follow the menus.
I included a dedicated server batch file as well. You run this (hint: edit the dedsrv.cfg file to your liking) and it will
fire up a standard dedicated server running WolffloW with most of the options pre-set for you. It uses the standard Monkey
Mod code as base code so you have the default anti-cheat / preventative stuff here. Your dedicated server will NOT say
authorized in Gamespy. What is the difference? The authorized servers should be as clean as you get for hacks and cheats.
At this time there are 3 Authorized Servers. If you think you need some extra protection during match play or whatever, go find
an Authorized Server. There has been at least one server available for the last 16 months thanks to Truzenzuzex[BC] and Garcia[FnR].
These servers are custom builds which have a couple of options not released in the standard dll. Aside from customability, they are the same.
