I am using cssdm on my server. I just popped in my server and noticed that it was at 19/24 players. I was like what?

there was 9 real ppl in the server. Bots weren't leaving. How do I get them to leave? I have it set to fill. Here is my bot.cfg file. This is correct, right? Or what am I missing? I want 10 bots. I want them to leave as soon as people join. so if I joined the server a bot leaves and I take its pace. If my friend Dan joins, he takes a bots place and it leaves. I could swear this is what I had it set for?

Thanks

Could you show what current values are in those cvars.

join server and use rcon
rcon find bot_

Something to do CSSDM perhaps ?
...cfg\cssdm\cssdm.cfg

// Sets how many bots CS:S DM keeps in game.  Use this instead
// of bot_quota for managing bots.
// bot_quota should be "0"
// bot_quota_mode should be "normal"
// bot_auto_vacate should be "0"
// -- 
// Requires: dm_bot_quotas.smx
// Default: "0"
cssdm_bots_balance "0"

[massive]

// Sets how many bots CS:S DM keeps in game.  Use this instead
// of bot_quota for managing bots.
//bot_quota "10"
//bot_quota_mode "fill"
//bot_auto_vacate "1"
// -- 
// Requires: dm_bot_quotas.smx
// Default: "0"
//cssdm_bots_balance "0"

Copied and pasted that straight from the cfg. Hrmmm.. I am at a loss here.

[massive]

omg.. cssdm_bots_balance "0" is commented.. Ill try it and see if that is the problem..

I just noticed that.

[massive]

still didn't fix it..

So what if I took out the execution of bot.cfg in server.cfg and used just the one in cssdm.cfg? I doubt it has any difference. This works on all the other servers I join that have bots.. why am I the outcast! RAWR! hehe

[Bacardi]

Ok...
remove all these cvars where ever you have added in config files.

bot_auto_vacate
bot_quota_mode
bot_quota

Then set in cssdm config

cssdm_bots_balance "10"

reboot server.

the end of story

Thanks Bacardi. Solid.
