Always 9 bots not 10...

[KillerInstinct]

Hi,
i dont have lots of experience with podbot setups. So whats happening now is that only 9 bots are joining whatever i do still 9 bots joins everytime. Basicly im looking to have 3 bots for everytime a human joins, but the max bots i need is 10 since we have a 20 slots server. And the bots needs to be only on CT side. Here my podbot.cfg. I really need some help and im not that good at understanding manuals even if i read them over and over. I tryied...

.cfg

# This is the Pod-Bot Config File (for HL Counter-Strike)
#
# Any line begining with '#' in the first column is a comment line
#
# Make sure no Line exceeds 80 Characters !!!
#
# The following commands are supported in the bot.cfg file:
#
# All arguments in square Brackets are optional if you don't
# specify them a random value will be chosen
#
#
# pb_minbots <value> - configure the minimum number of bots that will run
# on this dedicated server.
#
# pb_maxbots <value> - configure the maximum number of bots that will run
# on this dedicated server.
#
# pb_minbotskill <value> - Sets the minimum Skill if Bots are created without
# specifying the Skill (0-100)
# pb_maxbotskill <value> - Sets the maximum Skill if Bots are created without
# specifying the Skill. Must be bigger than minbotskill
# of course !
#
# pb_chat <1|0> - Turns on/off Botchatting. Bots chat if they killed
# someone, if the Bomb was planted or if they are dead
# and bored. NOTICE: BotChat.txt must be there even if
# Botchat is turned off !
#
# add [skill] [personality] [team] [name] - Adds a Bot using a Skill
# from 0-100, personality is 1 Normal , 2 Aggresive , 3 Deffensive
# team is 1 for Terrorists, 2 for Counter Terrorists and 5 to
# use auto-assign, name is of course the name for this Bot
# If you don't specify the arguments, a random skill will be
# chosen and the Bot will be auto-assigned with a Name he chooses
# randomly from "Botnames.txt". You can edit this File to add some
# names you like better ! NOTICE: Don't delete BotChat.txt ! It will
# be used !
#
#
# pb_jasonmode <1|0> - Turns on/off Jason Mode ! Meaning Bots don't buy
# weapons and only use the knife for combat ! Greets
# to Auxois ! (Thanks for hosting btw.) Use this for
# much fun with e.a. cs_estate or cs_office
#
#
# pb_wptfolder <folder> - Sets the default Folder for loading/saving Waypoint
# Files. This folder HAS to be inside the POD-Bot
# Directory ! Don't put it into quotation marks and
# don't use spaces or a trailing backslash !
#
# pb_detailnames <1|0> - Turns on/off the Skilldisplay behind names and the
# [POD] before the name
#
# pb_numfollowuser <number> - Sets the maximum number of Bots in the team to
# follow the same user (when Radio Command
# "Follow Me" is used). Default is 3
#
# pb_maxweaponpickup <number> - Sets the maximum number of weapons Bots are
# allowed to pickup during a round
#
#
# pb_shootthruwalls <1|0> - This Variable specifies if Bots are allowed to
# shoot through Walls if they saw an enemy or if
# they heard someone on the other Side of a Wall
#
# pb_usespeech <1|0> - Turns on/off usage of HL Engine Speech Synthesis

# This sets the Waypoint Folder (in the POD-Bot Directory)
# for loading/saving waypoints. Don't use a trailing backslash or spaces.
# This doesn't work for the first game you create (default is wptdefault).

# These 2 lines below supports a minimum and maximum number
# of bots running on a server. Bots will be added to the server
# until the total number of players (bots and humans) reaches the
# max_bots value. Each time a new player joins the server, a bot will be
# kicked from the server unless there are only min_bots number of bots
# currently on the server. After players disconnect from the server, bots
# will be automatically added back to the server until the total number
# of players reaches max_bots again. You should make max_bots be AT LEAST
# one less than the maxplayers value (otherwise no one will be able to join
# your server).
# These 2 cvars below are limits for the function pb fillserver
# and pb removebots.
# You can stop this function by writing pb_maxbots = 0.
# Ths function is also not working in the case if pb_bot_quota_match

I don't understand exactly what You want...
pb_bot_join_team "CT"
that basically should add always a bot to CT team only. Does it work or not?
pb_minbots 3
That one will keep always at least 3 bots on the server, even if no human joined. If the server is empty and You want to have no bots on the server in that time, You should have that value as 0.
pb_maxbots 10
That one says how many max (bots + humans) might be there on the server. So if You are a host on the listenserver - it always calculates You as 1 - so the rest remaining to 10 is 9...
pb_bot_quota_match 3
That always adds 3 bots for one human joined (and kicks 3 bots if the human left the server).
Try to remove all comment lines from Your post - otherwise it's hard to focus on Your settings...

[KillerInstinct]

pb_minbots 0
pb_maxbots 11
pb_bot_quota_match 0
pb_bot_join_team "CT"


Those are my current settings right now.


After trying those, 9 bots join the server on restart and the 10th one is not showing up.


You asked what i want, well i just want the right settings for 10 bots at all times on CT side for a practice server. Humans on T and Bots on CT. What must i do ?

Also is there any other file that could control the bot count on the server other than any files in the podbot folder ?

Server infos:
TX MOJO CLAN CT-BOT
8.9.3.66:27015

[KWo]

Just put pb_minbots 10 and pb_maxbots 10 if there must be 10 bots all the time...

could u tell me where i could find that cfg i think i need to edit it too =X i get some error saying
"Max Bots reached, can't create Bot" + ML_notfound (LANG) =( if someone could explain this to me would be a help thx .

"Max bot reached, can't create Bot" - it's a warning message, it's not an error.
It says You got the limit with adding bots by reaching pb_maxbots setting (which really means the limit for bots+humans).
"ML_notfound (LANG)..." it's an error from AMX X. It looks like You are using some AMX X plugin, which misses (at least partially) the translation for Your language.
The language files (usually plugin_name.txt) for AMX X needs to be placed in the folder ..\cstrike\addons\amxmodx\data\lang
podbot.cfg with settings like pb_minbots, pb_maxbots etc is placed in the folder ...\cstrike\addons\podbot
In both cases if You are using CZERO - instead "cstrike" You need to look for the folder "czero".
