Sounds like a spawn bug(I could be very wrong) . But you must remember the bots are still in the alpha stage.

Do you have a "motd.txt" file in your esf folder? If so, delete it and it should work.

I wish I could help, but deleting the motd.txt worked for me... I'll try some things and get back to you.

Originally stated in the BotReadMe.txt found in zip file you downloaded to install the bots
Put the "ESF-Bot.dll" in your "esf\dlls" directory, then change the "liblist.gam" file (in notepad) in the "esf" directory so it says:
gamedll "dlls\ESF-Bot.dll"
instead of
gamedll "dlls\hl.dll"
Run the game with console (example: "C:\Games\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -game esf"), and in the game type "addbot" in the console (open console with '~'-key) to add a new bot to the game.
You can use "kick [Bot Name]" no brackets just the bot name case sensitive, to kick a bot.


NOTE: It is very important that the name of your ESF directory is "esf"! Otherwise the game will crash at startup!


Have fun!
lol i quoted the readme!!!(the little things that amuse me)

bah trackerui not working? don't think it works for anybody... or maybe it does, but it doesn't for me, that isn't the problem, the problem is actually the bots are joining and spectators... dont know how to solve that problem though
