After previously working with the older HL version of RCbot on Natural Selection and modifing that bot to support different game types, I will be moving my efforts towards bot development with TF2. Like all source games and mods, they all come with basic source bots any way. The only way to activate this in games like TF2, is to make sure that -console command is on before you launch the game, and simply type "sv_cheats 1" and then "bot_add". Due to the lack of development and customisation of these standard bots, the bots will not do anything even though they can be added to the game. So I will now be looking at RCBot2 to see if i can get bots into TF2. I will keep you posted on my efforts, i am currently downloading the Windows version of the TF2 dedicated server, having a glimps at the RCbot2 forum, people seem to be having problems with dedicated server so i hope I am able to setup and install RCbots correctly. Wish me luck Venom

C:\source dedicated server\orangebox\bin\HPB_bot2.dll C:\source dedicated server\orangebox\tf\addons\HPB_bot2.vdf C:\source dedicated server\rcbot2\ <rest of the files goes here I am sure of the first two but the i am unsure of where the rcbot2 directory needs to go, i wouldnt of thought it would go in your normal steam directory, but please feel free to clear things up
