Install folders on TF2 dedicated server, (HLDSUpdateTool installed) Options

[Weasel]

I'm trying to setup the Alpha test on my TF2 server.
Please forgive me, I'm a little confused about the paths.

My dedicated server is installed via HLDSUpdateTool.
Consequently, there is no "steamapps" or any such folder on my server.

Base folder is:

CODE

C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf

So, do I do this:

• Put "rcbot2" folder like this: C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf\rcbot2
• Put HPB_Bot2.dll into C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf\bin

Does that sound right?

Can I put rcbot2 under C:\Program Files\Valve\SourceDS\orangebox\tf\addons? or must it be directly under the TF base folder?

Is there a function in RCbot so that when a player joins 1 bot leave etc?

I see a min and max_bot option there, and that may work on a lan server, but as its a dedi server, and we're adding bots via rcon, am i right in saying, this will be able to remove the bots under rcbot control, but it wont be able to add them again ?

use min_bots and max_bots to add/remove bots automatically

max_bots is actually the minimum number of players you always want running on the server
min_bots is the lowest number of bots that will remain if bos are automatically kicked

Yea this is fine however when using on a dedicated server the only way to add a bot is thro rcon bot, correct?

Because of this then i think the auto kick/join function wont work on dedi servers.

am i right in saying this?
