Yes Endor Strike isn't my favourite bot map. The bot navigation is a little odd to say the least, they take the weirdest paths and sometimes get stuck in the trees, as if they cant see them. This is very obvious on Endor Clearing, where you will often see the speeders getting stuck against trees.

PS, thanks for the comments so far guys!

The speeder bike issue is definitely one to notice on Endor Clearing, but I must say, Endor Clearing has some of the best infantry combat with bots out of all the maps so far.

Yeah the Endor Strike Team map could do with a couple speeders, maybe an AT-ST, a probe droid, something to spice it up some IMO. We had about 5 guys on last night with bots. Good times.

Agreed, it seemed like we spent a lot of time just running to where the action was. To be fair this was probably partially due to the way bots like to pool together in one area and may not be as much of an issue with all real players.
Also yes 5 players was great fun but I'd love to be able to play with even more, in fact if we can get a decent amount on at one time I'd be more than happy to do some recordings and make some propaganda videos.
This mod may be old but that doesn't mean it isn't still great (honestly my favorite star wars game out right now).

Is there a way I can run more bots than 24 on the server? Would it be possible to pump it up to around 64?

Ah, figured it out. Got the server on 40v40 now. Lets see how it runs.

Edit 2:
I wouldn't mind seeing some more vehicles on some of the co-op maps. I really feel like we can get the combined arms feel from Null Sensor Station and Rhen Vhar ice plains on some more maps. Even if it's only a few walkers or two.

Server seems to be stable at 40v40, so there are some crazy battles going down.

It does but you have to be sl of a squad remember. Also EA screwed up with 1.51 and you can't be SL of a bot squad in coop.

Yeah, was quite annoying that, meant that from then on you could only be a squad leader to a bot squad in a local game. Though sometimes you get lucky on-line and a live player joins the server which results in the bot squad leader being kicked to make room, and then you get thrust into command. Which is nice.

EDIT: Switched teams to Imp and I could spawn. Strange.

EDIT 17: I was trying to spawn as an officer. That's why. Co-op doesn't support the officer class yet?

So I just had my first 2 on 1 battle on Parmel Invasion. Awesome map, reminds me of Judicator from GC.

However the performance was not very good. Playable but very choppy in most instances. I don't know if this is due to LODs or complex collision meshes. My FPS actually dropped from the usual 100max to as low as 70 at times. Also a weird issue...the 1person weapons looked...wiggly...lol...like the models would flicker and such...really weird.

Yeah, we're probably going to have to look at further optimizing the station mesh as it does stutter a bit in there on occasion. Still fun to play, but we'll have to see what we can do to smooth things out a little.

We can increase the bot count on the co-op maps, if you're talking about larger map sizes for co-op too that is a little more involved unless the entire map has been made bot friendly, Dnamro is already working towards this and making more and more sophisticated map assets bot compatible. Just look at how well they perform on Nesmazzda and that small combat area on Jundland.

However what we really need to show people what this mod is really capable of is more people playing. We've had a steady trickle, but nowhere near the numbers expected, a full server of live players is what is really going to allow this mod to shine and bring more people into the fold, so we need to work towards making that happen. Come on clans and community members, let's get some big games organized.

Well I was sure you guys had looked at it thoroughly but just thought I'd express my support for the target you no doubt were aiming for, as well as the progress you've made thus far.

Thanks for all the extra info.  I'm always amazed when you guys push the envelope in this mod.
