this is a very INDEPTH walkthrough to bot installation and use
1) first, find the file you downloaded and oopen it.
2) The find the directory where you installed ESF (it is usually in 'c: \seirra\half-life\ESF') then open the folder which says 'dlls.'
3) Copy and paste the file called 'ESF-bot.dll' (from the file you opened earlier) into this directory (c: \seirra\half-life\ESF\dlls)
4) Then go back into the main ESF directory (c: \seirra\half-life\ESF) and find the file called 'liblist' and open it (if it doesnt open, right click and tell it to 'open with' and then select 'notepad' from the list which will come up)
5) Once that is open, look at the last line in the notepad document which opened up and add \\ before it.
6) Then delete the \\ from the line before this one, so the last two lines should look EXACTLY lie this:
gamedll "dlls\ESF-Bot.dll"
//gamedll "dlls\hl.dll"
7) now with that done, close all the windows which are open and find a sortcut to the ESF game (or make one, i am assuming you will know how to do this.)
8) Once you find a shortcut, right click on it and click on 'properties,' and a window should open up. Go to where it says 'target' (it should have something written in it which looks like 'C: \Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -game esf' and if it doesnt, change only the end [the stuff after the last \] to look like that)
9) With that done, open up the game and start a multiplayer LAN game (i am assuming you wil know how to do this, or will be able to figure it out.)
10) Once in the game press the '~' button (below esc) and type 'addbot' in the bar thing which should drop down (if it doesnt, repeat or check step 8 again. Now simply press '~' again to return to the game, and there SHOULD be one bot in. To add more bots, follow step 10 again.
11) To remove a bot, bring down the bar again (~) and type 'kick botname' (replace botname with the full name of the bot you wish to remove [case sensitive])
enjoy ESF without lag!
This walkthrough was designed to cater for any level of computer skill, so dont be offended if it seems very simple, some people need to be walked through absoltely EVERYTHING (i know several people like it)
