Type bot_join_after_player 0 in the server console so bots join and play even when no human is on the server.

What it does

With 1, an empty server does not fill with bots playing on their own. Set 0 if you want bots to play even when nobody is on.

The game's own description: If nonzero, bots wait until a player joins before entering the game.

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.
