bot are kicked and reconnected
 

For some reason mean continuously kicks and recreates the bots.
The message shown is this:

pb remove #124
Dropped Die Humans (Bot) from server
Reason: Kicked
pb addbot 100 5 1
Actual skill will be overridden by internal BotAim System as medium
Creating bot...
pb remove #125

I have the auto bot balance set to 2 min, 12 max, 1.5 ratio.
Can anyone tell how to keep the bots from being kicked at random?

Re: bot are kicked and reconnected
 

Do you have the autobalance display on? If not then turn it on and show me the display.

it almost seems like autoteambalance is on, but it is turned off.

Re: bot are kicked and reconnected
 

put these cvars in your server.cfg file

// allows any number of players on each team
mp_limitteams 0
// turns team balancing off allowing mEAn autobalance to function correctly
mp_autoteambalance 0

Re: bot are kicked and reconnected
 

I already had mp_autoteambalance and mp_limitteams set to 0.
here is link to view my server.cfg file if you dont believe me.

file://newarzone.low-ping.com/user/3...les/server.cfg

So is there anything else that could cause this to happen?

PS: I forgot to mention this
The only thing that seems to remedy this problem is when somebody joins the server.
Even then it still sometimes kicks a bot when someone joins the server and adds a bot when they leave.
Could it be that the podbots control functions are interfering with mEAn's

"Could it be that the podbots control functions are interfering with mEAn's?"

Yes. What's in your podbot.cfg file?

Re: bot are kicked and reconnected
 

Also confirm those settings we just talked about by entering in each cvar into the console with no argument. Do the check only after you see the problem appear. Sometimes the settings can revert back to the defaults due to a map change, or when a script is executed that you may not be aware of.

Re: bot are kicked and reconnected
 

I just checked them and they are still set to 0.

Here is the corrected server.cfg link

And here is the podbot.cfg link

Re: bot are kicked and reconnected
 

Change to this in the podbot.cfg file (comment these two lines out)

#min_bots 1
#max_bots 9

Podbot will stop managing to bot counts, and mEAn will be able to take over the task without any interference from podbot.
