Go to you default location for Battlefield 2, look for the FH2 mod folder, there in should be an AI folder, ie:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\fh2\ai
In that folder is a file called, aidefault.ai, make a backup before editing this file.
In the file you should have the following lines:
aiSettings.setNSides 2
aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1
aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 80
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.5
Save it and now you can play with 80 bots, hope your PC can handle it :D

Thanks
for the answer i tried it befor but i forgot to write "aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1"
-
whenever I try to save it, i get an error message saying 'Cannot create the file (shows file's intended location) Make sure the path and file name are correct.'

I was having trouble with this as well, but I solved it by down loading a "bot modifer" program.
-
I can't open that file at all.

Use notepad or wordpad.

I'll make this computer illiterate proof for you.
Go to the file -> Right Click with you mouse on it -> from the menu choose open with -> Now from the program list choose notepad or wordpad.
If this fails buy me a ticket to Norway ...

Nope, when I press "open with", I get that message. And i'm a bit short on money, so I can't buy you a ticket.

Yes but you should have an option somewhere to choose the right program.
You are using windows, right?
Anyhow try this.
Startmenu --> Run -> type notepad
Now notepad is opened.
In notepad go to File - open. At this moment you are only able to see .txt documents so you need to switch to All files (see screenshot).
Now go the the file you want to open and you are done.
If this does not work I give up.

Looks good! Crashing is not related to your AiDefault.ai settings.

Use notepad or wordpad.
Besure to copy the file before opening it. Take out the file you want and put it onto your desktop, right click,press propeties and make sure its not "Read-only" uncheck that and make sure you change it to where it opens in notepad/wordpad. save it and you should be able to tinker to your hearts content

the BF2 modifier doesn't work! I also tried to change the text of the aidefault.ai file but it doesn't work too!
can someone help me, because I'm not allowed to play online!

Post you aidefault.ai file or make a screenshot of it and post that here.

Once again show your default.ai file.

No dude you didn't it says 0 instead of 1, duh...

It doesn't works too!

I think your problem is this:
aiSettings.setNSides 2
aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1
aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64
aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 1 <-- change the 1 to a 0
aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.4
That's the only thing wrong with it that I can see.
My aidefault:

Make sure the document is write protected (Right click it and make sure you the check the box that says "Read Only") so the game doesn't change it? I remember someone suggesting that once...
-
It doesn't work!
Ok bloke, here's the thing...changing the aidefault file as described above (and in the file itself) DOES WORK.
I've got 4 installs of BF2 (incl. AIX, FH2, POE2, and PR mods) on two PC's, both running XPSP3. This method of modifying bot numbers/difficulty works on EVERY mod I've got.
If you changed your aidefault file as suggested, it should work. If it doesn't, then I'd say the problem lies elsewhere.
Providing a few more details might shed some light on the problem, dude.
Make sure the document is write protected...
Yeah, I've heard that too, but mine aren't write-protected and I've never had a problem.
