Thank you for the quick response.
The ingame help menu says
i need to use
esf_bot4 before my commands..
i tried a couple variations and without the esf_bot4 and still no success
the guide was written for 1.2.1
i am using 1.2.3
would this matter?

ahh. figured it out
the esf_bot4 is a typo
it is actually
esf_bot
so i can add bots to a dedicated server after logging in to rcon by typing in console
"rcon esf_bot addbot"
YAY!
