I am going crazy here. I have spent over 8 hours now trying to disable the bots on my CSGO server. This is the issue, sometime around the 4th player who joins my server the bot_quota automatically increases. Seems like it increases by 2 for each player that joins after 3, although I have also experienced this with 3 players.

I have tried everything I can think of, set bot_quota to 0 of course. bot_quota_mode I have tried normal, match, fill, 0, none, off, -1. I have tried bot_quota -1 and -10, this does not work because eventually after adding about 2 for each player that joins in gets in the positive numbers again.

I have made all these changes with my custom gamemodes_server.txt file and I have tried it in cfg/server.cfg file. I have read almost every line of every config file in my CSGO directories and I cannot find any setting that would be causing this.

As a temporary fix I have renamed the bot database files, but this causes lots of errors and eventually crashes the server around 6 players.

I am running this server on Linux CentOS 6. I have reinstalled and validated all the files.

Has anyone else ran into this issue? Is it a bug as this is beta? Does the map group or maps force bots (running arms race)?

I find it very strange after hours of google I cannot find a single other person having this issue. Maybe everyone just plays with bots now?

Please help. Thanks!

Start by posting your commandline start script. And your GameModes_Server.txt.

OR try:
bot_join_after_player 0
In your server.cfg

Some more information...

So its not when 3 or more people join the server, its when people change teams, it add 1 bot every time you change a team. I can duplicate this issue by myself with bot_quota_mode set to all 3 of the modes, bot_join_after_player 0 or 1. Does not matter, every setting I try I can duplicate this issue.

[mattpker]

Even more....

This only happens on armsrace mode, and if I continue to switch back and forth teams, it eventually crashes the server. What helped me figure out the issue is people would join my server, switch teams over and over like they were doing it maliciously and crash my server. Maybe this is a bug... can someone try it on their arms race server and see if they can duplicate it?

[mattpker]

Verified, I can go into ar_ servers and crash them/add bots by switching teams back and forth. Wow!

[4bdul]

As part of your convars in your gamemodes_server.txt - add this:

"bot_quota" "0"

I'm not familiar with the glitch/issue you're talking about with switching teams - but the last time I chcked, arms race is broken for a lot of people, including client crashes.

[mattpker]

I have tried that

I had same problem on armsrace server and fixed it with this:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

public Plugin:myinfo = {
    name = "Bot Crash Prevention",
    author = "Sylwester",
    description = "prevents server from adding too many bots when players switch teams",
    version = "1.0"
}

new Handle:g_Cvar_bot_quota = INVALID_HANDLE;
new g_bot_quota
new g_max_players

public OnConfigsExecuted(){
    g_Cvar_bot_quota = FindConVar("bot_quota");
    g_bot_quota = GetConVarInt(g_Cvar_bot_quota);
    g_max_players = GetMaxClients();
}

public OnClientPutInServer(client){
    if(!IsFakeClient(client))
        return;
        
    if(g_bot_quota < GetConVarInt(g_Cvar_bot_quota))
        SetConVarInt(g_Cvar_bot_quota, g_bot_quota);
    
    new i, count;
    for(i = 1; i<=g_max_players; i++)
        if(IsClientInGame(i) && GetClientTeam(i)>1)
            count++;
            
    if(count<=g_bot_quota)
        return;
    
    new String:name[32]
    if(!GetClientName(client, name, 31))
        return;
    ServerCommand("bot_kick %s", name);
}

bot_quota 0 in server.cfg works for me.
