Bots and there radio messages!
 

We have installed PodBot v 3.0 16v on our 32 player deathmatch server, everything works just great except one thing! I cant disable the radio messages for the bots because now all the bots spamming the radio channel with "enemy down, sector clear, enemy spotted...".

When there at midnight 20+ bots on the server they make a lot of irritating by human players with these radio spam messages. Hopefully i'm wrong and there is a cvar to disable this.

No - there is not yet any cvar to disable it. I'll probably add something for that in some future release.

I know we talked about it some time ago. But I have to ask for it again.

I just setup a 32 slot server with 26 bots playing. It is bothersome, no, more than that! Every (!) second one radio message.

On my other servers the (radio) chattering is ok, and useful. But with so many bots in the same team it's not good..

Any chances?

Re: Bots and there radio messages!
 

They are some chances for that, but it needs to re-search and re-write a lot of code.
Moving to Ideas forum anyway.

Great!

I recognized that the amount of messages differs from map to map extremely. E.g.: on dust2 it's moderate, on de_rats4_final it's heavy.

I've forgot to write the info here - pb_radio 0/1 switches off/on the radio command usage since V3B17b (available in filebase as a beta).
Please test this crap. More info about possible side-effects You can find in the topic dedicated beta versions. :)
