How to add bot to server?

[jselph17]

I'm running a vanilla server right now and I want to make it where my friend and I can battle bots that are on the opposing team. I put the command "addbot kyle 5 s o" in the server.cfg file, but nothing happens. Can someone help me?

 

Also, whenever I try to add bots in the console while I'm playing in the server such as "addbot luke", it says that "bots can only be added by the server".

You have to use RCON when adding bots or using any server commands while ingame. So you'd need to know your rcon password, enter that in the console via /rconPassword. Then do /rcon addbot luke.

Whats the Rcon psw?

Rconpassword will be a setting in your server's configuration file. You'll need to set one and then you can use rcon from in-game. If you're home-hosting a server, you can also type the commands directly into the console box without the rcon prefix.

As far as server.cfg goes, make sure you set both bot_minplayers and sv_maxclients to the appropriate values. Then your addbot command should work correctly.
