If you look closely at the first post in the update, you will see that Admin Mod and Metamod do not work with the ESF-Bots. I tried this with both ki-bot.dll and the alpha ESF-bot.dll.
Why I am not sure, maybe I too had something configured incorrectly, but I doubt it.
So as far as I know, bots DO NOT work with admin mod for ESF. They will work for other mods, but those bots are much more developed than these ones.
