How to play with 32 bots (16 per team)

[Amaranthium]

I got most of the instructions from this thread[forums.splashdamage.com]. Putting it here in case anyone wants to do the same.

Tested on version 1.5.

1. Create a text file on Notepad or your preferred text editor. Name it morebots.cfg. Make sure it has the .cfg file type, not .txt or any other format.

2. Add these exact lines to the .cfg file. Save and close.

bot_minclients -1
si_maxplayers 32 
admin addbot gdf
admin addbot gdf

3. Enable the option to view hidden files. On Windows 10 Explorer, click the View tab on the upper left corner of the screen. The checkbox for the option should be there.

4. Place morebots.cfg in this directory:

C:\Users\(Your account name)\AppData\Local\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\base

5. Run the game and start a match (Play Computer).

6. Press Ctrl + Alt + ~ (tilde) to open the console. Type com_allowConsole 1. This will allow you to access the console just by pressing ~ .

7. Next, type exec morebots. You should immediately see around 30 bots join the match.

8. Enter the limbo menu and check the number of Strogg and GDF teammates. If you want to balance the number of bots per team, go to the Admin tab to the right and hover over one of the usernames listed. Right click and select "Make GDF/Strogg." If for some reason there are fewer than 32 players in total, you can type admin addbot gdf/strogg in the console.

9. Enjoy! Or not. Try being Strogg in Salvage vs 11 medics.

A few notes:

• You have to open the console and type exec morebots every time you want to do this.
  
• Having too many players will sometimes result in spawning glitches where characters cannot move. If you're stuck, you can force respawn. To force bots to respawn, go to limbo and right click on their username on the Admin tab. Make them switch teams, then switch them again.
  
• I don't know any way to force bots to change classes. They often switch depending on the objective, though if they are defending they'll mostly be engineers/constructors or medics/technicians.
  
• The morebots.cfg file can be edited to allow 24/28 players by changing the value in si_maxplayers, though 32 is the limit. Simply delete as many of the "admin addbot gdf/strogg" lines as necessary.
