Well, that explains the crash for "epb addbot".

I checked the EPB.cfg file just like you suggested and the "autofill" option was set to "on". Just to make sure, I put "epb_min_bots 3" and "epb_max_bots 5", set "autofill" to "off" and fired the server up. No bots, okay. Makes sense. Exited server.
So then I put "autofill" back to "on" and fired the server up. Five bots (yay!). To test it, I typed in "changelevel" to a familiar level (like cs_office or de_dust) and... no bots. Nothing. Just like it has always done before.

Between my first post and your reply, I have noticed once that when I started up the server, all the bots stayed with each automatic server side map change until a human player showed up. Then on the next automatic map change, and each one after, there were no bots. Like I said, this happened once.
Another random time, me and my friend were playing on de_dust after the bots disappeared a map before (so this was the thirdish map the server automatically switched to) and on the last round of the game (with a minute left 'till the next map change) all the bots showed up, however their status all read "dead". Before my friend and I could finish the round off, the map changed and again, no bots neither dead nor alive.

This is all really weird, and most definately is not supposed to be happening. Next, I guess I'll slowly dissable each individual amx modx Mod and see if any of those are interfering with it. (which is also a strange case recently, when I type in "meta list" only E[POD]bot and AMX Modx show up and the fun mod and 2 other mods no longer show up when before they would. *shrugs*)
