In this article, you will learn how to add bots to the CS in both 1.6 and GO, because it is these two versions that are the most popular and in demand.
Download bots for COP 1.6
The original version of the game, which was released a huge amount of time ago, still retains quite high popularity, although it looks incredibly outdated. Therefore, the question of how to add bots to the COP in this version remains relevant to this day. However, this is quite difficult to do here - you will need to download bots from the network, since they are not provided for by the game itself. As you know, COP 1.6 was conceived as an exclusively team shooter for multiplayer games. However, over time, it became clear that bots were simply needed, so they were introduced, but separately. First you need to download them - there are a large number of such archives, each of which contains bots of various levels of complexity, with a variety of artificial intelligence. The most standard option is Zbot, which is used everywhere. You need to download the archive with bots, unzip it and move it to the game folder. That's all, your game client is ready for innovation. Now it's time to learn how to add bots to the COP.
Adding bots in COP 1.6
If you have already found the bots you need, downloaded them and installed them in the directory with the game, then you have nothing to worry about. Do not think that knowing how to add bots to the COP is incredibly difficult. In reality, you just have to use the console. Here you should know some very important commands, without which you can not do anything. The most basic command is bot_add, it is it that adds the bot to the map that you selected. If you add after the t command, then a bot will appear that will go to the side of the terrorists, and if you add ct, respectively, to the side of the counter. To exclude a bot, use the bot_kick command, and for a simple kill, use bot_kill. That's all, now you know how to add bots in COP 1.6, you can safely train, have fun and install any number of players controlled by artificial intelligence.
Adding bots to CS: GO
There is only one team shooter that was able to surpass the classic COP 1.6 - this is the version of the same GO counter, that is, Global Offensive. Naturally, you should learn how to add COP: GO bots, because this knowledge will also be useful to you. Please note that the game already has a mode with bots, but it has a limit of five players for each side. You won’t be able to install more if you don’t know what to do. You don’t need to make changes in the game itself, you need to go to the directory where the project is installed, find the file responsible for the game modes, which will be called Gamemods, and there, in the mode you need, change the maximum number of players for each side by 32 - more will not work, but you don’t need to. Now you know how to add bots to the CS server using the legal method, but there is also a simpler method that is better to use only without an Internet connection.
Bots via cheats
If you do not want to mess with configs, then you can use cheats, however, you need to make sure that you are not connected to the network and start the game not through Steam - otherwise you risk getting a ban. The sv_cheats command enables the use of cheats in the console, and the mp_autoteambalance and mp_limitteams commands remove the limits on the number of participants in a single command and disable command balancing. That's all - now you can add an unlimited number of bots and play at least 1 against 30. However, you should understand that this method is not legal, so you will not be able to play with other gamers, since the threat of the ban is too great.
