Israeli Defense Force: Fight for Independence is a Total Conversion modification for the PC game Battlefield 2 (A.K.A. BF2). What we aim to achieve with this mod is to immerse the player into the historic wars involving Israel, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, which are the 6-Day War, the War of Attrition, and the Yom Kippur War. The player will be able to play as a common soldier, crewmember, or pilot in these wars. The mod will feature historically accurate equipment such as the famous Russian AK-47, the fearsome SO-4050 bomber, the menacing IS3 and M48 tanks, and much, much more. Also, the maps will recreate actual battles that happened in these wars, to complete a historically-accurate and immersive modification. IDF:FFI is also a member of the acclaimed cooperative gaming studio Black Sand Studios.

Not a ton of new stuff in this release, its more of a mini release/map pack/patch but with some cool new content.

Our next release will be the big one with ALOT of new stuff. But it take time to work on all that cool new stuff so we released this for our fans to play with while we continue to work on our next release.

Its multi-player with bots. You go.to main menu, create local and choose coop mode. You can than change the number of bots up to 48 for large maps, use less bots for small maps. There are other settings as well like bot difficulty. Hope this helps.

All of your 34 maps,by default came with single player enabled
Why on earth would you spend time to remove the showing of singleplayer versions on every map
Please use some common sense and release a patch which reenables SP for all maps

Why would you play single player when there is coop? Coop is single player but with more options. I have played BF2 for almost 10 years and rarely if every play single player. What is the reason for playing single player over coop?

I like to play in SP because I can play with 50 bots or Plus than that on a map. In co-op this is not possible.

Another reason we are focusing on coop is in the future we would like to add more coop modes. A coop dogfighting mode, a coop armor fight mode and a coop skirmish mode which will be infantry only. Project reality has also gone this route and elminated single player mode. It is just a very limiting mode.

So what settings, would someone use,if they wanted 50 bots on each team,in coop mode ?

Reply Good karma Bad karma+2 votes
General_Bradly Author
General_Bradly

You would have to edit the AI default file just as you would for single player. I think the max default for coop is 48 bots plus one human. You can add up to 100 bots by editing the AI default file. 48 bots is a good number for most maps but more bots is definitely better on the larger maps. I could send u the tweaked AI file or a screen shot of it.

Is to edit the AI default file,to read 100 bots

Reply Good karma Bad karma+2 votes

Yes your AI default file should look something like this

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.SetMaxBots 100
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.SetBotSkill 0.7

Than in the coop options in game, set the bot ratio to 100 instead of 50. This should give a coop game with roughly 50 bots on each side. Save the original AI default somewhere in case you want the orginal settings. This should work for any bot number you want, but 100 bots will be overkill for some maps.

Hope this helps.

@General_Bradly

So I copied your above text,into my AI default file,as per your suggestion,which looks like this

aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.SetMaxBots 100
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.SetBotSkill 0.7

But I CTD on load in windowed mode,with no error message
Upon investigation,I see your reccomended settings are faulty

this
aiSettings.SetMaxBots 100

should be this
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 100

you are missing this letter N

Once I rectify your error,using your reccomended settings
Ingame, I have 93 players on team 2,and 8 on team 1

Okay here is my question, how much more work would it be to just add the singleplayer option to these maps if they already can have bots? I have been playing Battlefield 2 and mods for over 6 years now and it is much simpler for me to change a couple things for singleplayer than to play all these silly games with your co-op. I have a powerful system and love to play with 100 bots a team but its just ridiculous to play all these games with co-op when I could just have it in singleplayer and change literally two things

I have been playing BF for over 10 years and love co-op and almost never play SP. But I am done arguing about which is better SP vs Co-op. In the next release we will have both.

There should be a tip to help setup the launcher in the readme file. Also I would highly recommend bf2 mod launcher. There are a few good ones out there. They eliminate the need for launchers for each mod.

Just type the mod folder route. for example look here "E:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game bf1918
you should make a shortcuy of bf2 .exe and +game "modname"
