Stk-code: Online Multiplayer bots

[mitros123]

Description

There does not seem to be a way to add bots in online multiplayer.
I created a server, tried to play a battle or a soccer match, but while I could select the bot difficulty, I could not set the number of bots. As a result, none appeared.

STK release version:
0.10 beta. Basically master branch from 13-1-2019, compiled from source.

Suggestion: Please add an option "Add X bots", especially in battle or soccer modes.

the current design of network can only allow server to add bots

you can with latest master, use the command line with seperate stk instance bin/supertuxkart --connect-now=127.0.0.1:2759 (if u use default port) --no-graphics --network-ai=x (number) after you create your server (currently only possible for ffa)

@Benau I tried your command on a LAN server and it seems to work just fine (version 1.0.2). I am not quite sure why you closed the issue as I think this is a valid request. I have no idea what your architecture looks like, but having a GUI option to enable bots when creating a server would be a lot more user-friendly ;-)

Great work by the way :-)

Yes, please reopen the issue ticket.
It is a valid wish for a todo list task :)
