Such a shame really, as I have the disc version on mine and my wife's PC's. I am not going to also purchase it on steam for us both. Looks like we will have to stick to the older version.
Pity Plutonium brought in steam checks and put the proverbial two finger salute to those who have legit disc versions. I used to host codwaw servers with plutonium until the steam check issue.

The waypoints don't work when packed within the iwd. If the scriptdata folder is moved to the userraw folder of IW4x then the waypoints work

indeed it is, thanks

ah right, thanks

One Issue I have come across is some bots end up with no weapons and they go in to knife and nothing happens as if that has gone also.

Installed, nice. Just one observation - no mp_convoy_wp.csv in waypoints

DON'T DOWNLOAD FROM HERE - NO LONGER WORKS WITH IW4x

Here is the updated version from xlabs:

Github.com

I have always had lag if I spawn 16 bots or more and the more players join the worse it gets. So I now stick to 10 bots maximum

How many bots do you spawn

Did you install the bot warfare from here or this one:

Github.com

As I said in my post above:

you don't actually need to put it in a mod folder it will work the same from the iw4x folder or even the userraw folder

Just extract the file z_svr_bots.iwd and place in one of the folders I have mentioned.
You then need to use the ingame menu to add bots or the DVAR's I have posted above in your server cfg file.

you dont need to use the menu if you are hosting a dedicated server. I found that using the dvars in the server config set up the bots how I needed them(edit to suit):

set bots_main 1
//Enable this mod.

set bots_main_firstIsHost 0
//The first player to connect will be given host.

set bots_main_GUIDs ""
//A comma separated list of GUIDs of players who will be given host.

set bots_main_waitForHostTime 0
//How many seconds to wait for the host player to connect before adding bots to the match.

set bots_main_menu 0
//Enable the in-game menu for hosts.

set bots_main_debug 0
//Enable the in-game waypoint editor.

set bots_main_kickBotsAtEnd 0
//Kick the bots at the end of a match.

set bots_main_chat 0
// The rate bots will chat at, set to 0 to disable.

set bots_manage_add "10"
//amount of bots to add to the game, resets to 0 once the bots have been added

set bots_manage_fill "10"
//amount of players/bots (depends on bots_manage_fill_mode) to retain on the server, it will automatically add bots to fill player space.

set bots_manage_fill_mode "0"
// indicate if the server should consider only bots or players and bots when filling player space. 0 will consider both players and bots. 1 will only consider bots.

set bots_manage_fill_kick "1"
//whether or not if the server should kick bots if the amount of players/bots (depends on bots_manage_fill_mode) exceeds the value of bots_manage_fill.

set bots_manage_fill_spec "1"
//whether or not if the server should consider players who are on the spectator team when filling player space.

set bots_team "autoassign"
//indicates what team the bots should join autoassign allies axis custom

set bots_team_amount "8"
//amount of bots to have on the axis team if bots_team is set to 'custom', the rest of the bots will be placed on the allies team.

set bots_team_force "0"
//enforce periodically the bot's team instead of just a single team when the bot is added to the game.

set bots_team_mode "1"
// consider only bots or players and bots when counting players on the teams. 0 will consider both players and bots. 1 will only consider bots.

set bots_skill "1"
//value to indicate how difficult the bots should be.0 will be mixed difficultly 1 will be the most easy 2-6 will be in between most easy and most hard 7 will be the most hard. 8 will be custom.

set bots_skill_axis_hard "0"
//- an integer amount of hard bots on the axis team.

set bots_skill_axis_med "0"
//- an integer amount of medium bots on the axis team.

set bots_skill_allies_hard "0"
//- an integer amount of hard bots on the allies team.

set bots_skill_allies_med "0"
//- an integer amount of medium bots on the allies team, if bots_skill is 8 (custom). The remaining bots on the team will become easy bots.

set bots_skill_min 1
//The minimum difficulty level for the bots

set bots_skill_max 1
//The maximum difficulty level for the bots.

//for example: having 5 bots on the allies team, 'bots_skill_allies_hard 2' and 'bots_skill_allies_med 2' will have 2 hard bots, 2 medium bots, and 1 easy bot on the allies team

set bots_loadout_reasonable "1"
//whether or not if the bots should filter out bad create a class selections (like no silenced miniuzi with overkill perk, etc)

set bots_loadout_allow_op "0"

set bots_play_aim 1

No problem, here is a direct link for the zip file for those who get a bit confused with github:

Github.com

you don't actually need to put it in a mod folder it will work the same from the iw4x folder or even the userraw folder

This is a direct link to the zip file:
Github.com

extract the z_svr_bots.iwd file and place it in the iw4x folder of your server where iw4x_00.iwd / iw4x_01.iwd / iw4x_02.iwd reside and you are good to go.

Read posts above and you will find a fix

Do you actually not read existing posts... the answer is in previous posts!!

IW4x is now version 0.7.7 so your problem will be down to your version being too old. So I am not sure if a fix is available for you

Are you using it with any other mod, especially one with custom weapons

Nice one

I am using the one on here with no problems but XLABS have released an updated version to work with IW4x: Github.com

You need to place the z_svr_bots.iwd file in the folder named iw4x

it worked for me, obviously not a one fix for all.

You did save changes?

Cod4x provides the gsc support that Bot Warfare needs to work. So it won't be possible

This worked for me for:
"Script compile error unknown function htppget maps/mp/bots/_bot_http.gsc"

open z_svr_bots.iwd
then
maps\mp\bots\_bot.gsc
then delete or comment out the line(using//):

level thread maps\mp\bots\_bot_http::doVersionCheck();

If you use notepad++ it is about line 200

yes open the z_svr_bots.iwd file (i use 7zip) and edit the bots.txt file
