bluelavender 0 Posted September 6, 2004 Hi all, please forgive me for the stupid question, i am truly newbie here in flashpoint game. i want to know, is there anyway to play singleplayer with bots (but not with the scripted campaign) like in battlefield 1942 (where you can play co-op multiplayer in local environment only). the reason is i have slow computer , and i am not really into the scripted campaign (being too stupid to figure out some of the required step to finish mission). Thank You all for your kind help rgds bL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebns72 0 Posted September 6, 2004 Yes. Create a multiplayer server (don't worry, won't show up on the in game browser) and for all the spaces that you don't fill in with players, there should be ai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandalf the white 0 Posted September 6, 2004 if the AI is scripted, yes... note that OFP AI is 3 years old , and it's a military simulator , meaning the AI will not charge into you . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sanctuary 19 Posted September 7, 2004 To play a multiplayer map in LAN (local/offline etc..) with "bots" , if the AI has waypoints/scripts defined (you have nothing to do, it is up to the creator of a map) in the the multiplayer maps in solo (or local/offline..) you have to select in the main OFP menu  Multiplayer ->  LAN games (if  Internet is selected, change it to LAN) -> Create . There you will have the choice of he Island , and each island comes with specific multiplayer maps. The majority of the multiplayer stock maps support "bots" and a lot of user-made multiplayer maps support them too. But as you will certainly download some user made multiplayer maps, you will notice than some of them can not be played with AI ("bots") , as the author of the map didn't worked on the AI (no waypoints, no AI scripts etc...) You can always setup your own quick mission/firefights etc in the mission editor without spending a lot of time on it. At first it can seem difficult , but in fact it is one of the most easiest utility i ever saw (and for advanced scripters, it is incredibly powerfull too) .

Madus_Maximus 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Ah memories... back in my day, we had something called Operation Flashpoint, and some kind people made nice new missions for it, one of these was RTS3 *goes to sleep half way through story*... Sorry, in an odd mood. Anyway welcome to the Flashpoint community! You've found the right place for questions too, you may have also noticed we don't tend to flame people for being new to the game unlike other communities *doesn't mention said games incase placebo see's and kills me*. Best place to find news and addons (apart from looking here) is http://ofp.gamezone.cz/ unless you've come accross it already. Enjoy OFP! We have for 3 years and it still aint boring!

cain2001 0 Posted September 8, 2004 I wish someone added a AI function on the BF1985 maps where each side had one Ai chopper flying, 3 Tanks and maybe two boats. Each unit have diffrent repsawn time, if you capture a city near water it will create a patrolling boat. Since its takes very long to filll up 24 guys on a BF map nad that its really boring since you barly see any enemies. Why not use 20-30 Ais on each side. This would be really fun battle. I know ai infantry is impossible with the current (shooting through bushes and from a 1000 distance) but it would rock with ai in armourd vehicles. What do you all think? OFP have never used BOTS/AIS in Players VS Players maps before more then in CTI and RTS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"coop" . use the mission editor, you can use AI's online without problem , use them to create athmospere , or to fight against... in BF... well, don't know much about that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bull I was playing RTS3 with a few friends. We didn't build our base fully. Guess what? 2 AH64s attack and destroy us.  My old clan (FRC) used to play a ton of RTS3. We'd play against the ai to practice AA. I went through about 20 stingers in 30 minutes. Normally people can hold out for some time. The 3 Su25s got our ADATS though, and then some Hinds and Havocs came in and owned us. Fun game to play with a few friends vs. ai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
