t5_bot_warfare's Issues

Double options for amount of aalies and enemies bots

When editing the Combat Training Options, there's actually 2 configs to set the amount of both Players alllies and enemies. It seems that the game responds to the first option of each category.

Theres any way to level up with this MOD?

I can level up without MOD and keep this obtained Level in the MOD, so far so good but when I play with mod I can´t level up 🤔
I LOVE this mod, but has this problem.

DLC maps not working

missing textures for DLC map icons, very slow loading upon starting a match on one, and CTD's.

Need help fixing a crash issue

@ineedbots

ok, there's a bit of an issue with 2 maps, round based modes, and bots. The maps are berlin wall and convoy; they both cause a CTD on the second round. I was using the latest version of the Bot Warfare mod. Funnily enough, I sort of know how to fix this. The fix is in the Black Frontlines mod. It's a code snippet in there. I'm no coder, so is someone willing to take a look at that code snippet in that mod and integrate it into Bot Warfare?

Here's the black frontlines mod, you'll need to extract the ff file (I don't have BO1 or the mod tools installed ATM, so I forgot where exactly the fix was, but just open the one of the .gsc files or w/e and look for berlinwall and you'll find the code snippets)
https://www.moddb.com/mods/black-frontlines/downloads/black-frontlines-10

IIRC, the way that mod fixed the issue was to despawn the bots and then respawn them on the next round. It should hopefully be easy to integrate into Bot Warfare.

Moreover, I do recall sharing this exact same fix and code snippet with you years ago on discord. I think you either didn't bother fixing the issue or forgot, maybe?

Thanks!

Bots bug and DLC

Hello, I'm noticing some bugs in this mod:

1 - First when we open the plutonium it's updating the patch files and replacing the patch files, this causes first the bots didn't load correctly, second the xp stucks.

To correct that we need to paste again the patch files in %localappdata% everytime the plutonium is open again.

2 - The DLC installed are not showing properly and the map are completely bug, doesn't show the dlc maps images and the minimaps, this I don't know how to solve, I use the BO1 via steam (but I just downloaded from steam) and the DLC I got from old plutonium torrent, so I don't know if it's from this mod or is a plutonium bug.

Briefcase opening sound

Suggesting making it audible only if the player is planting or defusing the bomb

DLC Maps Loading screen/radar just blocks

The minimap/radar are shown as just grey blocks as if it cannot be loaded if you use the Patch mp files included, however these files are needed to use on a dedicated server, is there any way to get them to work with the dlc map graphic/minimaps working?

can't level up

i play the game it show in game that i am ex:one more level; launch next game revert back to the old one and lost progression.

Unable to give bots random rank

Because the mod auto loads itself after installing the patch.ff files, if you edited the bots.gsc to "loadout_rank 0" which gives bots a random rank, it will not work because the mod is not loaded properly through the mod menu, rather being loaded automatically. I have not found a fix for this yet.

Perks challenges bugged in prestige mode

It's possible to fix this problem?

Stuck at level 9 and messed up challenge progression.

The first problem I have is exactly what is says, I'm stuck at level 9 and can't progress past that, even though mid-game it clearly shows the pop-up "You've been Promoted! Level 10!". My second problem is strange challenge progression where they bug out or just don't progress at all. For example, the challenges "Call in 5 Spy Planes" and "Call in 15 Spy Planes" both pop-up as completed as soon as I call in one, and this happens every single I do call in one. For the challenges that don't progress at all, this seems to be Weapon specific challenges and Perk specific challenges, where they do exactly that.

I'm not using any other mods besides mp_bots, no Plutonium, or really anything that could interfere with mp_bots. Yes, I have checked if everything is installed perfectly, and it is.

If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Level Up

Hey, I have install the mod in the correct folder in Appdata. But I have the same issue as someone else already said for keeping the level after the next game. I read the post and put the 2 .ff file in the zone folder where the original are to replace them but the mod isn't directly launch nor does the progression level stay. So I'm a little bit confused with the different folder and files to make it works.
Thanks if you have time to help me.

Add respawn to search and destroy?

Is there anyway I can add respawn and lives to search and destroy?

should add private match support for more customization

should add private match support for more customization
Title says it all

Unable to play without internet connection

I was wondering if you can update the mod to be played without an internet connection, enhanced combat training mod is playable without an internet connection, i was hoping you could do the same for this, because this mod cannot be played without an internet connection

DLC mini maps are missing

The map preview from the map change menu are missing, so does the mini map during gameplay.

Trouble installing

I can’t seem to get the mod installed, I’ve tried to follow the instructions, is there a video

Not leveling up on bot warfare on my dedicated server

Am i doing anything wrong? I have a plutonium server for bo1 with the mod bot warfare, but for some reason i am not leveling up

Presteging doesn't reset level back to 1, Stuck with Infinite Money

As the title says prestige-ing doesn't reset your level back to 1. It does relock all weapons equipment ETC but you will be at max level. To go along with this for some reason my money does not go down when I buy things.

EDIT: Turns out my money neither increases nor decreases, shame because there are a few things I can't buy now! This can be fixed by just going back to unmodded, but then I can't play with the upgraded bots.

The only thing I could think that might be causing an issue was the fact I was already max level before installing the mod.

Hope you get around to updating the mod because it is still quite fun!

Can you rank up in combat training?

When I play this mod, I was stuck at level 2. Does it suppose to happen like this? How can i rank up? Where should I put files in Others folder?

Different folder

The files need to be placed here to work with Plutonium: %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t5\mods

I couldn't get it to work at first with your instructions, so I wanted to let you know.
