k thanks, is there any good way of testing it. Cause i cant just make 40 slots fill at any one time. how much more do bots take than human players cause i could use them i spose?

hmm.. well bots do use considerably more cpu.. maybe filling the servers half with bots? would give you some idea. but really just monitor the cpu.. and for say you have 4 servers, and its not hurting.. try another one and see what happens.. like over a certain time period of like a day. and also be sure to change map a couple times as well. that eats cpu and has to be takin into consideration.

yea.. bots always screw stuff up. i would really just guess at how much you want on there.. and be reasonable.. and just put it on there. and if it starts laggin or something when theres a lot of people in there. then shut a server down. or lower the player number.
