These are awful. I figured with a name like "hivemind" they'd be able to at least build and evolve, say, fades in NS mode. Nope! Just a ton of skulks and gorges creating turrets and turtling, for like an hour and a half. And the map waypoint compatibility is garbage, it can only run on like 5 maps.

Whichbots crash my game 100% of the time as soon as the match starts, guess they stopped trying to keep up with the latest version of NS. Their map compatibility is garbage anyway.

Back to RCbots, I guess...

Need help. At start it crashs and the only way to stop it from crashing is to turn sv_cheats on. and it still crashs sometimes. Is there a better version?

how do you get lots of bots to play if you are only playing with 2 people?

They are there but they don't do anything at all, not even move. Is there a way to fix this?

I got NS for Half-Life 1.6 (aka STEAM version) and for Counter-Strike 1.5 (Retail/Non-Steam). The latest version works in both and so does this bot. \o/
