Game Difficulty: Change # of players

xapped · 04-29-2012, 10:39 PM

Many people complain about things like 180 degree turns, superhuman airblasts, extreme RL/GL direct hit.. what about:

Easy: Difficulty level of normal, but enemy team has 25% less players
Normal: Unchanged
Hard: Unchanged
Expert: Difficulty level of hard, but your team has 25% less players.

Or, just make it an option for those who like 1vs7ing or something.

This is already possible, though you'd need to change some settings before adding the bots. Here's one possible scenario:

mp_autoteambalance = 0 (keeps the server from both restricting which team players can join)
mp_teams_unbalance_limit = 0 (even with the previous setting disabled, auto-switching during the match can still occur unless this is set to zero)
tf_bot_add <however many> <blue/red> <easy/medium/hard/expert> (you can now set up team sizes without interference)

Some other possible ways to do this:

tf_bot_quota_mode = "match" (this will ensure there are always N number of bots for each human player)
tf_bot_quota = <some number N> (combined with previous setting, this is the number of bots to match against human players)
