I would go through TCP/IP sockets. The game DLL would control 1 real client and 3 bots, the real client would use the HL network protocol, and the 3 others another protocol of yours. The advantage is that you don't need to send much to the game DLL (only position, angles, velocity and buttons). On the other hand, I wish you good luck modifying the client DLL, because I foresee quite a lot of changes of importance.
