Suggestion to remove bots from InstaDM mode

Post by Alexey85 »

Hello,
Afaik, amount of bots is a script setting, so this is to server owners. Please, make so there is one bot at most when there are two players. If there are more players, remove all bots. Or just never add them in any case. Bots ruin all the fun.
Thank you.

you're right that it's up to the server owners, i just would like to add how the spawning of bots work:
there is a setting which defines the limit of players to which bots are filled up

lets say it's set to 5 and there are 3 actual players, then 2 bots will be spawned
then 2 additional real players join leading to all bots disappearing after some seconds

    I disagree my shooting accuracy has gone up since playing a server full of bots on instadm. But I hear you, those pro shots :D

    Bots often stand or jump in one place, or have just simple movement, so they are very easy target. If you are beginner this might be useful to start, so this should be a separate mode for basic training. It is not nice when you come to play with people and get eliminated by random decision of an algorithm and statistics gets messed up because of free points from easy shots on bots.
