I used bots very briefly to break me into playing NS but with my brief experience I found whichbot best but is only of any use for creating alien bots. I tried rcbot for marine bots and when I tried comming most of the bots got stuck on ladders. I'm sure you can find waypoint files out there.
Good luck. I would suggest your best bet is to post on the bot website forums for further help.

Both bots are easy to install, work together, and are available in non Metamod versions. However if you are running any plugin on your server you really should get metamod; possibly even consider AMX too.
Wb and RCBot have extra waypoints you can download and isntall manually. These are available on the website; you should be able to find them.
NB: Make sure you set bot_commanding to 0 though. RCBots are not the best tactitians of the modern world. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yea, when you play ns a lot, then you load some bots up you can tell how horribly they suck. I guess it is a good way to get to know your keys and stuff like that, but thats about it.
I am improving aliens in NS now they are doing quite good <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> There are bugs in the current rcbot which makes bots kill themselves and not respond to orders etc. I have fixed these and also I have added ability for the bot program to make an infantry portal for the marine bots if you want it to. I should make a release within a week <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Could you fix the coding in actual humans that makes them not respond to orders as well? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

whichbot only supports aliens. you wont be able to add marines. simply press wb add in the console. its also possible to play alone against 3 aliens. however you play WATCH OUT. cause the gorges/lerks are really mean. why? cause the have a pretty good aim. rcbot is even worse. i had a shotty, motiontracking, all armor/weapon upgrades... and i didnt manage to kill this **** cause after 1 shot i was dead. yeah i know, wasnt very skilled but waht i wanted to say was that they have a really good aim. so gorges become more dangerous then skulks. oh by the way. it happened to me that the bot skulks killed me with parasite and not with bite cause they will normally first shoot at you with all they ve got. <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
It'd be awesome if RCBot had ability to make stuck bots automatically use /stuck command... Bots tend to get stuck rather frequently. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
