Title: Bot Limit?
Post by: Dan9550 on October 22, 2012, 10:22:49 PM
I'm just curious as to why on my OpenArena server i cannot add anymore than around 24bots or so. I get a message saying the heap memory is full??

I've asked this before, somewhere in the technical snafus board I think. Hard to search from phone. Try searching 26 bots limit or so. If I remember correctly one of the developers answered that only an x amount of ram is allocated for this.

Maybe the official QVMs should bump that limit. Otherwise you can not really use MAX_CLIENTS 64 bots :)

With such much players, maybe one may find other errors... I don't think Q3 was really designed with 64 players in mind...
(Just guessing)

It indeed wasn't; you'll hit problems with scoreboard updates and most likely performance issues.

However 24 bots does not seem much, even with the original limit of 32 clients.

Wait, so is it possible to add as many as 31 bots in a local server? :O

*edits sv_maxclients to 32 in q3config*

Darn it why didn't that work, the value even changed itself back to twelve in the config file! D: What gives, I wanted to slaughter more bots than I have enough ammo for! =P Is there an imposed 12 bot limit in the vanilla client? I know there was a hard-coded 256k limit in memory you guys mentioned, so is that the culprit?

I wish I could stack a tower of 127 bots and then rail them.
