How do I use custom pop files? (Custom Waves)

[Agent Ulgrin]

How....exactly?

UGH.

You save a file as mvm_validmap_missionname.pop, put it to steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/scripts/population folder, open the game, start an offline training game with bots while setting their count to 0 on any map, open console, type "changelevel mvm_validmap" (this is the same validmap as earlier), then votechange mission to missionname, wait 10 seconds, press F4, wait 10 more seconds and then wait for bots to obliterate you. Done.

Basically, if you do everything right, it should show up in your vote menu to change mission.

Thanks.

Now I can get completely demolished by a humongous boss bot!

Check if your popfile has as many } as it has {, if all where are followed by "spawnbot", and if "maxcount" isn't smaller than any other number.

Well,I used mvm,tf and I know absolutely nothing about really anytihng in the pop file,and I'm pretty lazy.

Fix all errors and repost fixed?

I'm assuming you left the thread because of a response delay or something...

Done.

Thanks.

[Agent Ulgrin]

Is there a way I could make only one bot leader spawn at once?

[76561198199727671]

Yes, put only one robot in squad and put 1 everywhere.
