~EDIT~ by cheeseh ---- file uploaded attached below

~EDIT~ by Tom ---- sorry, guys, i don't support this anymore, source code can be found in attachment.

First of all, i would like to thank Cheeseh for RCBot.

But i thought it would be great to make bots change classes after a while, as well as removing them when humans connect, and adding them when they disconnect, i saw "rcbot config minbots" and "rcbot config maxbots" cvars somewhere on forum. But i decided to create a sourcemod plugin for maintaining bots.
And i guess i can post it here on forum. Source code of my sourcemod plugin is provided.

CODE

Plugin game: Team Fortress 2
Plugin require: RCBot!

I will keep this updated... Also you should find "tf2.bots.cfg" in "cfg/sourcemod" folder. Have a nice time.
Do not forget to create botnames.txt file in "sourcemod/configs" folder, with names of bots.

Notes: This is sourcemod's plugin, extract sourcemod folder into addons folder, overwrite: yes. Enjoy.

Changelist 1.0.3 to 1.0.4:
- Fixed SourceTV bug, now you can use SourceTV on server and it won't crash (tv_enable 1).
- Fixed possible join/disconnect spam issues.
- Now sv_cheats cvar affect bot_console_cheats cvar, if sv_cheats is 1, everyone can use cheats, i.e. my plugin won't block cheat commands from clients.
- Changed version to 1.0.4.

Changelist 1.0.4 to 1.0.5:
- Now you can use spaces in bot's names.
- Default names file plugin looking for is botnames.txt! But you can create your own one and change the file name plugin is looking for!
- Changed version to 1.0.5.

Changelist 1.0.5 to 1.0.6:
- 2 new cvars!
bot_respawn_time - Respawn time of bot's in second, keep in mind that this will be +1 second longer due to class changing. Default: 1. Value less then 1 - Disabled.
bot_respawn_humans - This will respawn humans just like bots. Default: 1. If zero, only bots will be spawned if time >= 1.
- Fixed possible issue when server is full and bots do not respond to their count cvars.
- From now plugin works both on dedicated and listen servers.
- Plugin do not work without RCBot dll!
- Few misc. changes in code.
- Changed version to 1.0.6 and made "bot_manager_version" cvar, so from now you should be able find servers that use my plugin, for example, thro game-monitor.

You can get latest version ~snip it is attached~.

Also i uploaded example of botnames.txt file (255 names). Also i guess people can post bug reports here (plugin's bugs).
I'm not super plugin coder... I do my best. ^^

This management is awesome!
I don't have to name the bots with the -name tag,because there's an text file doing it for me!
And the gravity prob seems to have been fixed,occasionally their gravity's too low
Cheers,Tom. An excellent plugin you've made.
However,I've noticed that my teams bots don't switch classes.
I got 3 spies on my team on Gravel pit

bot_changeclass2 1 - this will allow them to change class after death count.
bot_changeclass_dc - this is death count, if they do not change class as often as you want, decrease value.
bot_class_limit 1 - this will make sure that you won't have 8 engies on team by some random reason. If you switch this to zero, your team will have many soldiers/engies/spyes or i.e. sometimes.
bot_class_adv 0 - switching this to zero will tell them that they shouldn't search for a free (0 class count character) class. So try switch bot_class_adv to zero and look at your spyes, they will change class somewhen def.
Advanced class limit is good to use, if your server is being visited by humans, so bot's stay with free classes that humans don't play.
Also you can switch off fast respawn, so by pressing tab with bot_changeclass_dc 1, you will see that they change class every death.

You should make a mod like this for mani....
