Learn how to adjust the bot settings on your Over the Top WWI game server β Find out more
Bots can be used on an Over the Top WWI game server to fill empty slots, simulate large-scale battles, and keep things exciting even when there are only a few players. Adjusting the bot settings lets you control the difficulty, behavior, and intensity of matches.
This lets you create anything from small, controlled skirmishes to large, chaotic battles with many AI-controlled units.

You can change the bot settings in the ServerConfiguration.ini file. Edit it in your game server dashboard under the Configuration tab: select the ServerConfiguration.ini file and click Edit directly to change the raw text. Many values are also available as form fields with explanations in this tab. Alternatively, open the file in the config folder under the Files tab. The file contains the following parameters:
AttackerBots = 45
DefenderBots = 45
AutoAssignBots = 0
BotCallinMulti = 250
SubBotForPlayer = 1
AttackerBots sets the number of bots on the attacking team
DefenderBots sets the number of bots on the defending team
AutoAssignBots automatically distributes bots across the teams
0 β Disabled
1 β Enabled
BotCallinMulti controls how often bots spawn or receive reinforcements
SubBotForPlayer replaces bots with real players when they join
1 β Enabled
0 β Disabled
You can fine-tune bot behavior with these parameters:
BotWeightOff = 8
BotWeightRankers = 40
BotWeightHeavys = 20
BotWeightSnipers = 10
BotWeightStormTroops = 20
BotWeightSappers = 20
BotWeightSpecialists = 10
BotWeightMech = 10
BotWeightZombies = 0
These values control how often certain unit types are selected when bots spawn. A higher value means more bots of that type in the match.
WaveLegnth = 300
WaveBuildUpTime = 90
AutoAssignBotsScaleMulti = 100
WaveLegnth determines how long a bot wave lastsWaveBuildUpTime defines how long it takes for a wave to fully build upAutoAssignBotsScaleMulti scales the number of bots based on the number of playersAfter editing the ServerConfiguration.ini file, save it and restart your game server. The new bot settings will then take effect in-game.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained when the server restarts. The only exception is WhiteListIsEnabled: ZapX sets this value on every startup based on the Enable whitelist startup parameter. The server name, player count, and passwords are not stored in this file; you can set them under Startup parameters in the Configuration tab.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured bots on your Over the Top WWI game server. These settings let you control match intensity, improve the gameplay experience, and keep your server lively.
