Title: how to add robots to teams
Post by: eishiba on August 11, 2018, 01:49:08 PM
How do you go from 3 to 6 robots on an opponents set teams? I looked in the teams txt file but don't see what to change.

AI teams can hold up to 6 bots, but by default they're only programmed to hold 3. There's nothing magic that you need to do to go from 3 to 6, the devs just decided to stop at 3 per team for some reason (assuming you're talking about the stock AI). If you want to know how to add bots to the AI teams, you should look up the tutorials section for tutorials about 'how to AI'.

To be more specific, the line underlined below tells RA2 which bots to look for in a team folder. In the example below, it's telling ra2 to look for Bot0.bot through to Bot5.bot. In stock, the line would be 0 1 2 instead, telling ra2 to look for Bot0.bot to Bot2.bot, thus only having 3 bots in a team.

This is all there is for the teams file. There isn't anything like that except for where the player teams are.

That's your player teams file. It doesn't have any effect on the AI teams. The AI teams file is in Robot Arena 2/AI/teams.txt.
