heh i know you guys hate the instalation problems but it seems everyone from every instalation post says to extract to half-life,wich i dont have.... i only want it for tf2, i tried in the hl folder from team fortress 2 but it dosent work. so in resume i need half-life to run rcbots?

I ran trough some installation problems, before I got the bots running, so here’s what I did:

I have a no steam TF 2 installed in “x:\Program Files\Team Fortress 2 - No Steam\TeamFortress2” (this is just an example directory). I download the 0.4 bots and install them. I put the rcbot2 folder in “x:\Program Files\Team Fortress 2 - No Steam\” which is one dir above the actual TeamFortress2 directory. Then I put the HPB_bot2.dll in “x:\Program Files\Team Fortress 2 - No Steam\TeamFortress2\bin” which is the bin dir of the actual TF2 install dir. Then inside “\rcbot2\config\ bot_mods.ini” I change the line that says steamdir = orangebox to steamdir = TeamFortress2 (the actual name of my TF2 dir). And when I enter the game and type plugin_load "..\bin\HPB_Bot2" the bots load normaly and I can play. BTW if your bots don’t move try copy the TF dir in “\rcbot2\waypoints\team fortress 2” to “\rcbot2\waypoints\<actual dir of TF2>” and it should work.

I do the same thing for my orange box TF2 with different folders, but there the bots crash in-game. Hope this would be of help.
