Over The Top: WWI Gameserverfrom 5.00€

Introduction​

Bots can be used on an Over the Top WWI server to fill empty slots, simulate large-scale battles, and maintain activity even with low player counts. By adjusting bot settings, you can control difficulty, behavior, and the overall intensity of matches.

This allows you to create anything from small controlled skirmishes to large chaotic battles with many AI-controlled units.

Configuration​

Bot settings are configured inside the server configuration file. You can access and edit this file in your gameserver management panel under Configs. Locate and open the ServerConfiguration.ini configuration file. Inside this file, find the following parameters:

AttackerBots = 45
DefenderBots = 45
AutoAssignBots = 0
BotCallinMulti = 250
SubBotForPlayer = 1

  • AttackerBots defines the number of bots on the attacking team

  • DefenderBots defines the number of bots on the defending team

  • AutoAssignBots automatically distributes bots across teams

  • 0 → Disabled

  • 1 → Enabled

  • BotCallinMulti controls how frequently bots are spawned or reinforced

  • SubBotForPlayer replaces bots with real players when they join

  • 1 → Enabled

  • 0 → Disabled

Advanced bot configuration​

You can further customize bot behavior using additional parameters:

BotWeightOff = 8
BotWeightRankers = 40
BotWeightHeavys = 20
BotWeightSnipers = 10
BotWeightStormTroops = 20
BotWeightSappers = 20
BotWeightSpecialists = 10
BotWeightMech = 10
BotWeightZombies = 0

These values control how frequently certain unit types are selected when bots are spawned. Increasing a value will result in more bots of that type appearing in matches.

Wave and scaling settings​

WaveLegnth = 300
WaveBuildUpTime = 90
AutoAssignBotsScaleMulti = 100
  • WaveLegnth controls how long a bot wave lasts
  • WaveBuildUpTime defines how long it takes for a wave to fully build up
  • AutoAssignBotsScaleMulti scales bot count depending on player numbers

After modifying the ServerConfiguration.ini, save the file and restart your server. The new bot settings will be applied during gameplay.

Conclusion​

Congratulations! You have successfully configured bots on your Over the Top WWI server. Adjusting these settings allows you to control match intensity, improve player experience, and keep your server active at all times.
