Hi,
It is very easy
After you install E[POD]bot on your CS 1.5 or CS 1.6 just start dedicated server and the bots will auto join in to the server.
If you make dedicated server on CS 1.6 after the server is ready you must wait for 1 minute and after that the bots will join the game.
If you still have trouble just ask .

for the dedicated server in 1.6 to get the bots, do i have to install it to the dedicated server folder within steam?

ie. C:\Steam\SteamApps\<myemail>\dedicated server\cstrike\EPODbot

i had the original one in my normal counter-strike folder within steam, and i could load games locally, but now that i use the steam dedicated server feature, i cannot get them to work

YES.
After that make a server and the bots will join.
For me this work perfect .
You just must wait one or two min. and the bots will join.

Hello. Im am soo confused about bots on a dedicated server. I read the thread VERY carefully but i cannot seem to get the bots in the game. I installed it to the correct directory. I waited about 10 minutes and no bots joined. I would really like if somebody could help me with this problem. When i use bots on a LAN game they work perfect.

Hi,
Well the instalation program of E[POD]bot don't support dedicated server.
You must handly install the bots in :
C:\Steam\SteamApps\<myemail>\dedicated server\cstrike\EPODbot
folder and after that to change the thinks in liblist.gam file to load EPB.dll and all will be ok.
If you still have a problem just ask .

Heyyo,

That should be right.

Ok, one more test is after starting your ds, in the ds console try typing: addbot

If it says "unknown command addbot" then it's not installed right somewhere and you should try again. Just do as THE_STORM wrote up above n' try again dude.

[EDIT]
Oh, remember now, "podmenu" only works for Listen Servers (a server created ingame). For Dedicated Servers you need to use the actual console commands.

O.K. Thank you all very much, i did not try to change the liblist.gam. well I'll try it now and see what happens!!

It still doesnt work. Its a 1.6 server and it has amx modx installed to it, C-D, statsme, HLguard. If ne one of those is a prob. for a bot to join then plz let me noe cuz i have tryed everything >_<

Hmm...
So you have a mods.
Then reinstall all mods (amx ect) and after you install all that then you install E[POD]bot. Change the parameters in liblist.gam to let the game to load EPB.dll. Btw don't put the E[POD]bot folder in you addons folder. E[POD]bot must be installed in cstrike\EPODbot.
In liblist.gam you must change the parameter :
gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
to
gamedll "EPODbot\EPB.dll".
After you start the server you must wait a minute. If still there is no a bots tape in your dedicated console addbot.
