How to toggle difficulty level in nexuiz?

[nightwing]

Hello.
I love the open source game nexuiz. It's great - especially the new maps. But the level of the bots is heavy. Is there someone who can tell me how to set the level?
In openarena there are some different difficulty levels. In nexuiz I miss this. For example the maps with low gravity are a real hugger. The bots are shooting that precise and fast, I sometimes get fragged even when I respawn and before I can move somewhere.

When you create a game from the menu, there is a slider that controls the bot skill.

Alternately, you can manipulate the variables that control bot behaviour directly from the console.

Hi.
Sorry, I forgot to write: I mean solo player games (instant action for example).
The variables about the bot skill ... I found no doku - what do the numbers mean
(a lower number a lesser skilled bot or otherwise)?

I'm not sure if you can change it in Instant Action , probably with some cmds in the console.
In the Campaign you can't change the skill but you can create your own game with bots.
Multiplayer -> Create - There you can pick the map, toggle time-/fraglimit etc.
and theres the slider where you can choose the bot skill like Taiyo said.

That's bad.

I wanted to change it in the campaign. Why isn't there an option in nexuiz for doing that like any other FPS has?

Open the console and type the level of bot skill you want (numbers between 1-10), for example:

Code: Select all

skill 10

Well, basically Nexuiz is designed for playing online with human opponents. The "campaign" is just for getting a basic feel for the game. The real action and the most fun will take place online. If bunnyhopping and laser jumping is new to you, I'd strongly suggest to just join some server and spectate. You learn a LOT from spectating skilled players and getting the hang of the movement tricks in Nexuiz is very much fun indeed!

Welcome to the forum, btw!

Like many single player games, it starts easy and becomes harder. The idea being that you must improve your skills in order to progress in the campaign.

But some of the scenarios, like that, where you are in a low gravity area with one singleshot weapon (sniper), is nearly impossible. In the time, I recognize an enemy, I am already shot and when I repawn, I get immediatelly shot again!
