When I want bots on my game(with the new bot) the bots stay in the spectator area.

I've set
max_bots 6

and added one for default with
addbot 1

does anyone know what the problem is...

Well I can't acces the menu because I use a dedicated server but I'll try using rcon.

Using rcon they also go in spectator mode.
The old ki-bot never had any problems when I used max_bots.

I treid both and I've set addbot 1 so at least one should join correctly, but that isn't the case.

hmm well i only tested a dedicated server once but when i did i just typed

esf_bot addbot

thats all and well if you tried
esf_bot addbot,
esf_bot addbot <number> and
esf_bot addbot <number> <number>
then i wouldn't know :(

btw how are you playing with real/good teams, team mode, db mode or free fight ??

I have tried teams and free fight without realistic teams,

for the dedicated server I used the same commands as you showed,
they work the same as in the bot.cfg

when I use botfill instead of max_bots, they still go spec.

maybe you should set a option. Force respawn.. it forces to put the bots ingame., and not in spectator mode

you mean observer mode ?? that option is for that bots ignore human players and force respawn would prolly not work cuz it does like it said; it forces you to respawn (IE after dying)

unistall all bot versions then download the new bot for esf and install that simple if you already have it then you don't have to download it>>.
