Bots getting kicked from server

[Creston]

Hey all,

 

Whenever lag gets too bad for me to find a decent server to play on, I like to just set up a server of my own and mess around with some bots. (In between playing the SP game for the umpteenth time, that is.)

 

But there are some things which I can't figure out.

 

If I set the maximum number of people to 6, and the minimum number of players to 6, for some reason the server always kicks the bot, so that I only have five players in total (me, and four bots).

 

It does this with various other settings too. I then try to add a bot via the add bot option, the bot will come in, stay there for about 2 seconds, then gets kicked again.

Or I'll set up a game with max 15 people, minimum 10, and then the server kicks bots slowly one by one until either 10 or 11 are left. It really doesn't make any sense at all...

WTH is up with that? Why does the server decide whom to kick, and not me?

 

Also, is it just me, or do some bots simply refuse to play on certain difficulty levels? I've never managed to get Luke to stay in any game that wasn't on Jedi Master Bot AI (for example).

 

And finally, I'll set up a game between me + Luke + Lando vs Galak + Desann + Tavion (just for fun), and the game seems to feel it's quite funny to just randomly kick some of them, then add others, or to completely mess the teams up (and yes, I set them in the proper blue / red teams initially).

 

 

If someone could shed some light on this matter, I would really appreciate it. Not sure if this is the correct forum for it, my apologies if it's not

 

Many thanks in advance,
