I've been trying to run some of these beta maps with bots and I can get the map up but no bots.. I'm using (for example it doesn't matter which one):
open TE-The_Univermag_alpha4?min players=30
-it opens and I hear the voice-over part like a bunch of guys running into battle but I'm all alone, am I missing a command?

Hello,

It was good to see you on the TWI forums!

RO2 single player game and listen server game command line should be formatted as follows:

OPEN [MAPNAME]?Minplayers=X?Maxplayers=Y?Difficulty=Z

X : [Minplayers]number of playersat least this amount (fill with AI until humans show up)

Y : [Maxplayers] {16/32/64}number of players that will bemaximum. This loads a specific objective configuration for that player load.

NOTE: 16, 32, and 64 players modes can have completely different mapsetups such as Pavlov's House 16 player. It's a traditional attack/defend,without tanks suited, for 16 players whereas the 32 and 64 player is aso-called "Neutral Based" configuration.

Z : [Difficulty] {0-3}

0 = Easy
1 = Normal
2 = BattleHardened
3 = Hero

I see you have a space between"min" and "players" but you may also need the other items to get it working. I've not actually tried this myself but I'll mess about with it to see if I can get it working. Also keep in mind that TE-UNIVERMAG is the ALPHA4 version an is very buggy (I spoke with BOH-Rekrut recently, and he doesn't want it publically released yet since it is too much of a prototype to work properly).

I hope this helps,

OK, I can confirm that using:

OPEN TE-BUTOVO-B4?minplayers=20?maxplayers=32?Difficulty=1

creates a functioning single player (and presumably a listen server - I can't test this at the moment) game with me and 19 bots whose behaviour felt like difficulty=1. I tried substituting TE-OGLEDOW_B9 and TE-PROVKHOY_B1 and was similarily successful (please note that Butovo has a dash before the beta suffix while the others use underscores). I'm going to see if I can get the Univermag running but I attribute any problems with it to its alpha-ness.

I can also confirm that the invisible bots you can hear but not see are the result of mis-spelling the ?minplayers=X variable in the console (I forgot the 'S' and had the same result as you with your space...

I hope this helps,

EDIT: I can't find a working Univermag DL link so I guess we'll just have to wait for the first BETA release (which is probably for the best). I would trust BOH-Rekrut since he is responsible for many awesome Darkest Hour maps as well as the increasingly popular TE-BUTOVO-B4 for RO2. This map will RULE when it is finally released properly. I should also note that LordGleedo looks to be poised to release the BETA1 of his new map this weekend (should be good :)). I'll be sure to post the download links for any new content in my news thread...Stay tuned.

Okay, so I played The Univermag map with 32 bots and it worked fine the DL link was Alpha4 the server is running 5 and I was able to play on the server with a little update but it must be in a cache as mine still only opens in Alpha 4, it's interesting and has some real long open areas to fight across. I find that you cannot open a map and play a simple LAN at least everybody says by Ded. Server only, and my Roomie and I confirmed this at home unless there is another way to do it manually I was going to try some maps with bots as a Coop to learn tactics but unfortunately can't make it work. Seems unfortunate to need 3 copies to run a lan, anyway Butovo is my new favorite and I've seen Screenies of Eagles Nest and Cold Steel so I am watching for these. We need the Community that has made all these cool maps in Unreal to jump in here I've been playing since Raven Shield days and there have been some real good things made by them out there and this game will jump start it again I'm sure.

Coop is something that's is supposedly to be put in like RO1 had...I'm still waiting on that. It's why I bought RO2 and why I have less than 10 hrs in it still despite getting it on release.
