I think what you are looking for is a method of adding bots automatically. Currently, as far as I remember there are no max_bots or min_bots commands.

There are also no rcbot configuration (.ini) files that deal with adding bots. Only accessable clients are implemented (config/accessclients.ini). This file allows payers to add bots themselves if someone with access joins the server.

So the only way to add bots to the server right now is if someone with access to bot commands adds them themselves. I can't remember If I added functionality to add bots between maps because it's been so long since I implemented everything

look at the accessclients.ini, read it, enter YOUR Steam ID as the user steam ID, you will be able to add bots when you log into the server

you can always add
STEAM_ID_LAN

Where the target to find accesclient.ini? in steam? or is a missing plugin in the hbpbot2?

after you run the bot once the bot creates the file rcbot2/config/accessclients.ini (i.e. in the bot folder)

hmm im pretty sure it was supposed to come with the bot

well you can make a new file and paste this in it, call it accessclients.ini, put it in rcbot2/config

# format is
# "<STEAM ID>" <access level>
# see http://rcbot.bots-united.com/accesslev.htm for access
# levels
#
# example:
#
#
# "STEAM_0:123456789" 63
# don't put one of '#' these before a line you want to be read
# by the bot!
#
STEAM_ID_LAN 127

add your steam id also and add a space and a number such as 63 or 127 afterwards
