Anyway we can get some bots modded in?

[Burdy]

Not coop missions, but in the MP mode. I remember the demo had bots and it was great - would actually be able to fill up 200 player servers now a days with some bots.

Just tried the mod, and it...is...amazing! The bots wroked really well, the only issue was it nearly killed my pc there were so many of them.

Also im wondering if you plan to allow them into vehicles and weapons at some point?

Hey Arwill - the mod looks fantastic! However, the CMD remains stuck on "Waiting for JO Process" despite being in game and seeing the bots on the map. The result is that the bots just sit idle in base.

Hi. Are you using version 1.7.5.7 of the game? I tried both standalone and Steam versions (Typhoon Rising and Escalation), both windowed and fullscreen, and it works for me. When it detects JO it should write "JO process opened" into the console.

Note that if you open two instances of the game, its uncertain to which the addon will try to connect. So if want to start a dedicated server and a client on the same machine, then start the dedicated server first, let the addon open it, and only after that the a game client.

Can you add a "/w" parameter to the shortcut of Join Ops, and start it with that, then make a screenshot of the title-bar of the game? It should be exactly "Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising V1.7.5.7".

The NexusMODS page has a bugtracker, so if you find issues you can post them there too.

Another thing, which O/S are you using? And is it 32 or 64 bit version? I haven't tried with 32 bit O/S and 32 bit Java, tho it should in principle work. And you should also install 64 bit version Java on a 64 bit O/S.

Got it up and running - reinstalled the updates and the mod and it started behaving.

Really awesome mod! Incredible work. Can't wait too see where it heads next

Hi.

Here is a short tutorial on how to add bots using NILE.

One more question how do you get the bots to spawn on forward bases? And will the bots be able to take the bases? It doesnt seem like they can as of now.

You need to "Explore" forward bases with the player first. Spawn at each of them, then run around it, inside and outside. Do that for both team's bases. Exit the map, then restart it, the bots should now spawn at forward bases right from the start. Perhaps something could be figured out so that this is not needed, but for now it is needed.

And no the bots can't capture bases. They can pull the flag down, but they can't flip it. The problem is that the game's logic becomes inconsistent if the addon flips a base. The result is that after that nothing can be captured any more.

Any updates for this mod?

Check out Ravenfield, it's very similar to Joint Operations but it's mainly single-player, so bots support is very good.

Summer is here, so i hope i'l have more time for this MOD.

Small Issue, bots that spawn at home base will lock up until pushed out of the way by a vehicle. Not sure what causes this but to fix it they need to be pushed in some way and they will resume function. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

I have the same issue. Tried nudging them but that doesn't seem to work

[EchoWolf]

Sometimes nudging does not work, What map are you trying to use?

[Riekopo]

Any more updates on this mod enabling the bots to use vehicles and emplaced weapons and play on other maps and modes?

[EchoWolf]

Not yet sadly, I talked to Arwill recently and it seems he has moved on. I have a *very* small discord server attempting to gather a small modding team though, I'm hoping to help the graphics, and introduce bots, new maps, weapons, etc.

[Riekopo]

When I bought this game I thought I would be able to play it offline like the old Battlefield games. I'm so disappointed.
