Help with auto difficulty bots

[siramikvarse]

Hey all, me and my friend want to play bots together but they keep changing their difficulty level and insta-killing us as soon as we get a few kills. I know the bots are meant to get harder and all that but I want them to stay the same.

I've looked into all the console commands and game settings documents but I cant turn it off or make them stop - they always start on the difficulty setting I want but change and ruin the game soon after. I cant find anything about turning it off or how to change the values of the 'auto harden' to need us to get something like 300 kills before they change - can anyone help me?

Thats the first thing I tried with no luck - its like the game sees it and thinks "mmmm, nah"

I really need help with this - they are always fine in the first round and then get elite, can't I just wipe out the "bot_autodifficulty... thing?

I didn't seem to have that happen on my LAN server.
I found all my answers on getting my server up and running on this forum. I wish I would of known about this forum too.

Might also be a good source of info to ya.

I am guessing your config is no different then mine, just I don't have that same thing happening with me.

Can anyone at least tell me how these values work?

"bot_autodifficulty_threshold_low" "0.0" // Value between -20.0 and 20.0 (Amount below avg human contribution score, below which a bot should raise its difficulty)
"bot_autodifficulty_threshold_high" "0.0" // Value between -20.0 and 20.0 (Amount above avg human contribution score, above which a bot should lower its difficulty)

How do I get these to fix my problem? A full quote would be extremely useful. :-/

come on someone must know - I have been trying to fix this all day with 0 success and its getting to me (if they just put a f**king create server option like in css we wouldn't have all these problems).

You are using this command right?

bot_difficulty : 1 : , "sv", "rep" : Defines the skill of bots joining the game. Values are: 0=easy, 1=normal, 2=hard, 3=expert.

My autodifficulty is the same:

bot_autodifficulty_threshold_high : 0 : , "sv", "rep" : Upper bound above Average Human Contribution Score that a bot must be above to change its difficulty
bot_autodifficulty_threshold_low : -2 : , "sv", "rep" : Lower bound below Average Human Contribution Score that a bot must be below to change its difficulty

The starting difficulty isn't the problem, nor are the console commands, I just cant stop them raising the setting I start them on. Its all to do with my post above and that I don't understand how the values work - I have tried raising and lowering the values and nothing makes a bit of difference...

yet another bump

The values must mean somthing, how can I make it think '300 kills and then I'll change my difficulty'?

if anyone knows anything let me know
