~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!
Plugin author: Tom Hackers
Plugin category: Server Management
Plugin version: 1.0.6 (updated 10 august 2009)

bot_changeclass2 - Allow bots to change classes after X deathes. Default: 1.
bot_changeclass_dc - Death amount. Default: 4.
bot_count_humans - Count humans as bots. So humans replace bots. Default: 1.

bot_console_cheats - Allow server console to use cheat commands and adding bots without sv_cheats 1. Default: 1. Switch this to 0, if you use admin cheats plugin.

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. ^^

I modified the plugin to use Valve's bots if rcbot isn't loaded

nice to see you naris, i am a big fan of your work over at allied modders. welcome aboard!!

edit: i am running this on all server now!! Thnx again Naris. Small request... would it be terribly difficult to pull names from botnames.txt for the valve bots as well as the rcbot2? If it could be done without much trouble that would be sweet... but prolly not worth the effort if it would be really hard... i want all my bots named with a bot tag so peeps stop trying to talk to them...
have you ever watched someone cuss out a bot for not listening to them and responding?... although funny, its not good for player moral... peeps get pissed off and leave.
on a funny note, i had a player demand that i ban this "player" that he was sure was cheating... he even claimed he had a demo to prove it... he got really embarrased and left when i told him and the other real players started teasing him... again, funny... but not good for the game overall... lol
