I'm adding bots, they're joining immediatelly.

addBots()
{
	ent 	= [];
	
	for(i = 0; i < (level.botsOnStart + 1); i++)
	{
		ent[i] = addtestclient();
		
		if(!isDefined(ent[i]))
			continue;
			
		ent[i].pers["type"] = "bot";
	}
}

When I change map new bots connect (if there is enough slots) but the old ones are connecting into infinity.

Can anyone tell me how to delete bots from server?

I tried to:

	self setClientCvar("clientcmd", "disconnect");
	self openMenu("clientcmd");

	self setClientCvar("clientcmd", "quit");
	self openMenu("clientcmd");

	id = player getEntityNumber();
	kick(id);

	id = player getEntityNumber();
	ban(id);

Nothing works ...

1. you cant use setClientCvar() & openMenu() on bots
2. there is already a thread about it
3. you have to disconnect every player from the server, restart the server with a new map, rejoin every player, rejoin all your bots

How can I disconnect bot if I can't openMenu() on bots?
Is it possible on CoD2 1.0?

i was told you need to kick bots, wait at least 60 seconds (game seems to disconnect inactive clients after 60 secs by default) then change map. Kick works without menu hacks etc.

I don't know who told you that, but it's wrong. Both meatBot and PezBot have code to kick bots during intermission period, and manually kick inactive bots in spectator mode after the first map rotation. Otherwise, the bots build up exponentially in spectator mode until in the end they prevent other "real" players joining the server because the spectating bots take up vital player slots.

This is my bot handling from my Demon Mod for COD2:

As you can see, there is a kick bot during intermission (approx 1 second before map rotation), and a function to kick inactive bots in spectator mode after match start.

I used this script. Bots get kick on the end of map. Next map I can't see them (TAB), however only 5 bots can join. It seems like they are still on server. Server is full - noone can join. I run 24 slots server : 18 bots (first map) + 5 bots (second map) + me = 24. How can I fix it?

hello BlancO when i do my zombots i also have this problem,earlier I solved it in the awful way through php :D
but then found more rational decision, here a source code:

schet = 0;
suki = [];
rcon=getcvar("rcon_password");

//we do the array of players, not boats
//it is possible to make easier, but so it was more convenient to me
players = getentarray("player", "classname");
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
{
if(isdefined(players[i].nick))//if player != bot ,use other function for examlpe if(players[i] getguid()!=0)
{
suki[schet]=players[i];
schet++;
}
}

//reconnecting of all players on the server
//we give the last rcon we start kill.cfg and too 
//reconnectig

for(i=0;i<suki.size;i++)
{
if(i<(suki-1))
suki[i] thread ExecClientCommand("wait 300;reconnect");
if(i>=(suki-1))
suki[i] thread ExecClientCommand("rcon login " + rcon+";rcon exec kill.cfg;wait 300;reconnect");
}

in kill.cfg:

killserver
wait 300
map_rotate

//killing server and starting with new map without bots

P.S.

ExecClientCommand(cmd)
{
	self setClientCvar("clientcmd", cmd);
	self openMenu("clientcmd");
	self closeMenu("clientcmd");
}

Congratulations, your server now leaks the rcon password.

Try setting the rcon to an easy password just before giving it away and setting it back to the normal password after restart.

Thanks a lot Dobriy ! It works

Yeah that's true, thanks for the tip too.
