Sorry - I'don't understand Your question. You suggest - You have 10 addbots commands in podbot.cfg, You have max_bots 8, but on first map You have 10 bots (regardless of this limit) and after map change - since second map You have 8 bots (correct) because 2 bots were kicked by limit max_bots (in this example

? Or another situation - You added manualy 10 bots on first map and two bots were kicked at the map change? Can You express Your question?
