How to enable - add bots to counter strike source server

[nG|NightLinks]

If you would like to add - enable bots to your counter strike server. You can remember some of these cvars or you can add them all to your server.cfg file.

bot_add - Bots will join any team.
//bot_add_ct - Bot will join only CT
//bot_add_t - Bot will join only T
bot_quota 2 - The number of bots that you would like to have in the server. [Some game server providers only allow a certain amount of bots in the server. Check their TOS about the number of bots allowed in the server before setting this cvar.]
bot_quota_mode fill - See Below!
bot_difficulty 1 - The difficulty bots will play. 0 = Easy, 1 = Normal, 2 = Hard, 3 = Expert.
bot_chatter radio - The way the bots are going to communicate with each other and human players. off, radio, minimal, normal.
bot_auto_follow 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to follow human players.
bot_auto_vacate 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to leave the server once a human player joins the server.
bot_join_after_player 0 - Bots wait for a human player to join the server before joining.
bot_defer_to_human 0 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to do their objective in the map.
//bot_prefix "CHANGEME" - You can add a clan tag or anything you like to the front of the bots name.
bot_allow_rogues 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to go rogue in the game.
bot_walk 0 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to walk in the map.
bot_eco_limit 800 - Amount of money you want to give the bots at the start of the game.
//bot_knives_only - Use this if you only want bots to use knife only.
//bot_pistols_only - Use this if you only want bots to use pistols only.
//bot_snipers_only - Use this if you only want bots to use snipers only.
bot_all_weapons - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to use all weapons in the game.
bot_allow_grenades 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to use grenades.
bot_allow_pistols 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to use pistols.
bot_allow_shotguns 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to use shotguns.
bot_allow_rifles 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to use rifles.

bot_allow_machine_guns 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to use machine guns.
bot_allow_sub_machine_guns 1 - Set this to 1 if you want the bots to use sub machine guns.

bot_quota_mode - Fill mode will adjust the number of bots to the number of humans in the server. Ex... if there's 4 human players in the server and you have bot_quota set to 2 bots. If a human player leaves the server a bot will join to take his place in the team that the human player was playing in. In normal mode the bots stay in the server. [fill, normal]

bot_knife/pistols/snipers_only - If you want the bots to use pistols only in the game. Then you will need to take out // from the front of bot_pistols_only and put the // in the front of bot_all_weapons to stop the bots from using all the weapons in the game.

bot_add_ct/t - If you only want bots to join a specific team then remove the // from the team you want them to join. But if you want the bots to join any team then leave bot_add without the // in the front of the cvar.

bot_prefix - If you want the bots to have a clan tag or anything else you like in the front of their names then remove the // from the front of bot_prefix and edit "CHANGEME" to your liking (remember to leave the "quotes").

I have been using this bot.cfg file for the past 2+ years now. It has worked for me really well in getting players into the nG CS:S servers. If you would like to use it copy & paste into wordpad or notepad and save it as bot.cfg and upload the file to your server /cfg folder. You will need to add the following line to your server.cfg file "exec bot.cfg" without the "quotes".

//General CS:Source BOT Config v5
echo "Loading CS:Source Bot Configuration Settings..."

//Control how bots talk. Allowed values: 'off', 'radio', 'minimal', or 'normal'.
