Testing mods alone?

Is there some kind of console command that allows you to play a match without waiting for both sides to become commander?

The only reason for asking such question is that I want to test my mod but... it's just a very simple mod that modifies the resource you get every tick by 5. The problem is that you don't get any res while waiting for the match to begin. I tried using exploration mode but it also doesn't give you any res per tick. Most likely it's a deliberate implementation.

So if there's no way to get around the match waiting then can someone test the mod (with other people)?

I want to know if commander get 6 res per tick at the beginning and increases 1 res per harvester built (exclude harvester already built in the start of the match).

Also check if individual players get 0.6 res (to be exact it's a formula 6x0.125x1) and increases by adding harvesters.

That's all I want to find out. If it does work then you'll see more of this typical mod later.

    cheats 1 or sv_cheats 1 in console depending on whether its a local or dedicated server. If you don't want cheats on while testing stuff, a workaround is to add a bot to each side, then turn off cheats. The command is:
    addbot <number of bots> <team>
    so adding one bot to each team would be
    addbot 1 1 (for marines)
    addbot 1 2 (for aliens)

    addbot doesn't seem to work but thanks anyways for showing me something even I knew from hl2 mapping. I feel kinda dumb for not knowing it...

    The addbot console command needs either cheats or dev enabled. Both should also disable the commander check, but I haven't tested it. Try "dev 1" in the console.
