How to do bot grinding?

Post by Private_Joker74 »

I'm looking for a way to do totally mindless gameplay. I just want to fly around and fight some manageable number of bots that endlessly respawn. I tried starting a Robo-Anarchy game, but none of the Multiplayer missions allow spawning bots. Is there a way to force those missions to spawn bots, or is there some other way to do what I'm trying to do?

Any Descent 3 games with [BOZ] in them -- those are actually bots.

D1 or D2? I'm not aware of a bot-spawning mode. But you can just play through levels while blowing up bots.

Thanks but I mean NPC bots. The [BOZ] bots are AI players, which are actually more difficult than what I'm looking for. I really mean mindless, so tough bots and finding my way around campaign levels aren't what I was thinking. I just want to grind through fights in anarchy maps.

Thanks again,

If anyone wants to know, I found a pretty good solution:

It's an Anarchy style level with a bunch of AI pyros to fight endlessly. It's good, but I still want some variety. I would really like to just be able to spawn any type of bot in any of the common Anarchy maps and fly around killing them. Is there a mod that can do that?

There are probably more in those archives too.
