I thought that I was counted as a player being connected and that if another player joined, then the bots would stop loading automatically. At least that was the way it worked for me on 0.51.

What's happening now is that (running as a listen server with me as the only player) the bots load automatically on the first map of my maprotation.cfg OR will load automatically if I choose a map from the Main Menu.

For the maps following the first map in the rotation cycle the bots do not load automatically or if I load a map from the console.

What I want to happen is for the bots to load with the maps in my rotation config. I don't mind doing them manually from the console if I want just a specific map to run. But they HAVE to reliably load on the map rotations because that is how they run on a dedicated server (and mine is just about ready to start up) and HAVE to do that for any number of human players from 0 to the max allowed.

I just ran an experiment: I inserted exec...bots.cfg commands into the first two maps of my map rotation config. The number of bots did not double as I expected on the first map -- they loaded normally, as they did for the second map. BUT NOW a new problem arose -- the enemy bots did not see me at all. I could stand in front of them and fire away and they totally ignored me.

So I'm confused! Gotta leave right now to meet some friends to go bike riding. More later. . .
