Try searching the forums at www.modns.org, you should find a few metamod plugin bots <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Then theres few bot choices. I use RCBot and WhichBot as primary ones. Whichbot is an alien AI and RCBot works on both but does better on marines.

and
<a href='http://rcbot.bots-united.com/' target='_blank'>http://rcbot.bots-united.com/</a> (Site is down right now... or for good)
At a brief scan I count 3 links in this thread alone. :S
RCBot.
Cheeeh keeps up-to-date links in his sig.

Note that extracting the FULL zip may overwrite current rcbot files, including bot profiles, configuration files, say NO when extracting the things you want to keep if asked to overwrite.

Okay, I followed the instructions. I put it in ...halflife/ns/addons/rcbot
I added all of the lines to the metamod plugins. I tried to start up a lan game and it crashed. I'm using Whichbot with metamod, so I don't think it's metamod.
Metamod won't crash Rcbot though unless theres a problem when attaching it to metamod and setting it up (e.g. finding configuration files), if you are adding a bot and it crashes, you need metamod for NS beta 5.
<a href='http://forums.unitedadmins.com/index.php?showtopic=39088' target='_blank'>http://forums.unitedadmins.com/index.php?showtopic=39088</a> <-- latest metamod for NS beta 5
I think that's latest.
used wifout metamod and works ok
just need waypoints n stuff so bots arent so retarded
I tested it and it worked fine.
I probably included the player_ids.ini file in the rcbot folder,
just delete the player_ids.ini file in the rcbot main folder and delete all the *.rcr files in the bot profiles folder. That should fix the crash
Using NS beta 5? copy all the waypoints from rcbot/waypoints/nsp to rcbot/waypoints/ns
... not my fault though that it changed back to ns from nsp <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> !
rcbot waypoint on
in the console and see if there are waypoints for the map, even if they are they might be for the wrong version of the map and the bots might be trying to walk through walls. do that thing I said above about copying nsp waypoints to ns waypoints folder.
