There are two types of servers: listen and dedicated. There are numerous settings and console variables (cvars) for Xonotic, however they can be searched in-game using apropos, or out of game using cacs. The game is well loved in the community and is cross-platform. Game server configuration allows a server adminstrator to provide varying and customized experiences. I saw that not only instructions for setting up a server with team game modes (minplayers_per_team) are in the wiki now, but it it's also mentioned that one player has to join a server to make bots come around which is great to see (I think this is new and I hope I didn't miss it there in the past). Xonotic supports local play with bots or multiplayer on online servers with friends. Xonotic is an addictive arena-style first person shooter with crisp movement and a wide array of weapons. The reason why I thought it doesn't work was that I didn't know that at least one player has to be connected to make bots join. (Don't know why my previous searches didn't bring this up)Įven without knowing this: I tried setting minplayers_per_team before of course.

They state what you've already mentioned and I tried that this morning and it works.

Right after my post yesterday my favorite search engine found the release notes from version 0.85. Bots spaz out at teleporter / warpzone on the ceiling - Antares - 08-29-2017 I have a warpzone on the ceiling and a few bots spawned to test things out.
