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

Not sure if you have the TF2 game, for that you would need to ever buy the orangebox or TF2, or you can ask me really nicely for my account. My dedicated server will be the same one i used for NS, which is now TF2, so it will be a 100mbit connection so speed is not an issue and the hardware is not to bad either, its linux based so its very stable If i can help you in any way, let me know, it would be good to get additional support on this as TF2 would make a great game for adding bots too Venom
