offline games?

Postby demoman1000 » 01 Jul 2014, 21:36

Hello, I was wondering If there is a way to play an offline game with just the Ai so I would be able to lean the mod before I play against others. Thank you for reading.

It is also perfectly possible to just host a game online and also just play vs AI. If the offline part is not important :)

Sorry for cutting in, but are you supposed to be able to make that game non-public? Because "host a game" menu looks for me like that:

There are a roundbutton, but only one. Is it supposed to be like that?

Well, that's an obvious way, but I thought there might be some more accurate way to do so especially since there are "public" roundbutton. So the interface is rather unfinished then?

Maybe it's meant for a future 'Friends only' or something (or that may have been abandoned).

AFAIK passworded games can still be watched in live replay/replay vault, so they are public in a sense. This may not be what you want for secret tournament preparation, or if you try to avoid the paparazzi like our famous players, but otherwise it should be fine.

I guess it increases your numbers of games played, too....if you open a game in lobby and play vs AI (even with pwd protection).
Can someone confirm that?
