How do i add bots to my server using the rcon commands?

rcon addbot desann blue 5

This adds Desann as a bot on blue team with skill level 5 (highest skill). The skill level and team is optional; if you don't put it in they each have different preset skills (I think Lando is a 4?) and automatically go to a team.

ok i tried doing that and it is still not adding any bots for me no matter which one's i try to add.... with or without team/rank

If you are trying to add them via the console, leave out the rcon command. If you're doing it via rcon, make sure you put /rcon so that the server knows it's a command. If you want a particular number of bots & players, you can use:

set bot_minplayers X

Where X is a number representing what total you desire. For team gametypes (CTF/Team FFA/CTY) I believe the number will be "per team" rather than in total. With bot_minplayers, bots will be added and removed to keep the total number of players (or players per team) equal to X.

bah i still cant get bots into my server, is there something i need to do in the .cfg file other than set bot_minplayers x for my server to allow bots?

Try this:

seta bot_enable "1"
