hosting coop maps and bots

[Intrepid767]

Hey guys.

If I want to host a private multiplayer game w/ these custom maps, there are no bots. Is there a separate plug-in I need to be able to have bots?

No special plug-ins required, if you can get on vent, I can talk you through it. Ma out. :D

well, I figured out how to host coop vs conquest map. But did I hear you say, Ma, that you can set a "minimum players" to join if I just wanted to do a coop map alone?

[madeuce]

Yea set number of players needed to start game to zero.:D

[Intrepid767]

well right, I remember that part.. what I don't see is where to change that setting.

[madeuce]

Use the dedicated server launcher, not the create local launcher in game. start/programs/ea games/bf2/launch bf2 standalone server. many more options if you go that way :D

[Intrepid767]

if its dedicated.. how do I play in it?

[madeuce]

Start the server, start bf2, click on multiplayer/join local.

[Intrepid767]

Start Standalone BF2 server is not an icon of mine. Can you send me the command line of that icon w/ all the parameters plz?

:DLook in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2ServerLauncher.exe, It's preferable to use a separate computer as server.:D
