Fix team based game modes for online bot matches about iw7-mod HOT 7 CLOSED

This has nothing to do with bots. The "start match" procedure begins with checking if it should be a private or public match, then decides to use ranking and if so retrieves the players stat data. By using the command xblive_privatematch 1;xpartygo;xblive_privatematch 0 we have skipped the part of the startup process that assigns the player to a team, therefore it is not suitable for starting a public lobby.

I think the best way to fix this would be to pass all the checks required for the lobby to begin a countdown and start the match. Starting with:

• setting to a ranked lobby: xblive_privatematch 0, onlinegame 1
• allow starting match with only one player party_minplayers 1
• if necessary disable anything that could allow host migrations

h1-mod and s1x use a dvar force_ranking that might be helpful here, but I imagine using xblive_privatematch 1... to start the match would break that anyways.

The Infected game mode works despite being a team mode. I'm guessing this is because the player is assigned to the Human team by default. This supports the idea that the issue comes from the player not being assigned to a team. Maybe all this issue needs is a hook to assign team?

So... the TDM problem was fixed?

Well, hooking the disable host migration dvar does result in the game not kicking you back to the lobby, but then you as the player, do not get assigned to a team. This causes some issues with the hud and you cannot identifiy your teammates from the enemies.

So we're halfway there, but need to find a way to force assign the player to a team via the public playlists, to solve the hud issues.

I started a match and setted 'xblive_privatematch 0' but then I couldn't spawn the bots. I think the 'spawnbot' dvar is missing or something

You must type:

xblive_privatematch 1;xpartygo;xblive_privatematch 0

Once the lvl has completed loading, while the camera is panning, you must type xblive_privatematch 1 again, otherwise it will kick you out.

If done in time, you can choose your loadout and start playing.
