Thx for the info, this was on my ever growing "to do" list. I'm glad to see the new cvars and how we can manipulate the game environment. I run a CSS server to and was hoping TF2 bots would get the full spectrum of cvars CSS takes advantage of :)

This is my reply to him, his one follows: ---- Thank you for your kind response, I wasn't aware of these new convar: I always read the release notes at each update and check the wiki but they haven't been mentioned. Now I see they opened a topic on the forum explaining it. For anyone interested, here it is http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15373843 BTW in my opinion tf_bot_add shouldn't increment the bot quota: 1) if you want to set a bot quota you can modify tf_bot_quota convar manually 2) it didn't work like this in previous tf2 versions, same for CSS bot and bot_quota convars but not a big deal, we can live with that. Just remember to put tf_bot_quota 0 in the server.cfg or you'll have bots in non koth maps. to Niels Meijer: > This isnt steam support! Use google!!! very mature. I'm a server admin, I run 10 tf2 servers and was asking on the server admins mailing list for help related to servers. - Hide quoted text - On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 12:25 PM, Silent <sil...@ccmail.cc> wrote: This is not a bug, it is a feature indeed :) Please consult the documentation for the bots and use the following settings: tf_bot_quota_mode normal tf_bot_join_after_player 0 tf_bot_auto_vacate 0 tf_bot_quota 8 mp_humans_must_join_team "any" The bot management is much better since previous update. By default a bot joins the server when a player comes in. So you can play with all your friends in one team against the bots. There are a lot of settings more to control the bots behaviour...
