hey guys!rnrnyears back when i had a windows server i used Sturmbot 1.7 and itrnworked perfect, but now as i have a linux server i have to usernShrikebot instead and i'm having some serious problems with it.rnrnif i set "max_bots" to "8" there's 8 bots that join and leave when everrna human player leaves or joins, but it doesn't let anymore players connectrnthan 8 at all (it's an 18 players server).rnrnif i use "fill_serv 8" it's spawning 8 bots, a bot leaves when a humanrnplayer connects but doesn't return when a player leaves again.rnrnso has anyone else experienced that problem and maybe has a fix for it?rnrnas you can imaging i don't want 17 bots on my server all the time ifrnthere's noone playing, neither do i want my 18 players server being restrictedrnto only 8 players.rnrni'm using the "latest" Shrikebot with latest patched .so!rnrnHelp please! :confused:

Well I'm using Sturmbot 1.7 (great bot), to make my bots leave as players join I'm pretty sure you have to have a Max bot and Min bot argument.rnrnmin_bots 0rnmax_bots 8 rnrnHope this helps.rnKidTwisted

rnrni tried the "fixed" binary where the console commands don't work and thenrni tried the "standard" binary with working console commands, but therneffect is the same, max_bots 8 restricts my server to 8 human playersrn(not visibly, connecting players just can't get on it).rnrncan you get more humans on your server when all bots already left?rnrnif so, i really don't know what the problem is, maybe i'll just write a littlernplugin that controls shrikebot :D

rnrnWell, it just says "Server full", nothing more.rnrnAs for the fixed binary of shrikebot, it's a known bug that the rcon commandsrndon't work correctly for about half of the users. (shrikebot forums)rnrnI'll give the bots another chance and try "max_bots 10" & "kick_all_bots 9"rnhope that works :D
