How to add bots in CS:S

Type bot_add in the server console to add a bot to the team that needs one, or bot_add ct expert for an expert CT bot.

bot_add

Adds a bot, optionally choosing its team, weapon type, difficulty and name.

bot_add [t|ct] [type] [difficulty] [name]

Examples

bot_add

Add one bot to the smaller team.

bot_add ct expert

Add an expert Counter-Terrorist bot.

Arguments

t|ctOptional: Team to join.
typeOptional: Preferred weapon type, for example rifle or sniper.
difficultyOptional: easy, normal, hard or expert.
nameOptional: Name from the bot profile list.

What it does

Without arguments the bot joins the team that needs players. Every bot added this way raises bot_quota by one.

The game's own description: bot_add <t|ct> <type> <difficulty> <name> - Adds a bot matching the given criteria.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS:S server first.
