Read it here, you must have
missed it when you carefully read this documentation.;-)
Is there an official site?
Yes there is, it's part of the official site! ESForces Bot site.
Bugs, Solutions and TroubleShooting
The bots use <insert
something like melee here> to much
Open the botpersonality
editor(esf\esf_bot\BotEdit.exe) to change the bots behaviour.
Bots can swoop slow when the bot is created after a sbot is kicked,
metamod is installed.
Restart the server.
Super Bots crash.
How unpleasant. They are experimental, if you don't want them to crash,
don't use them.
Esf_battlearena sometimes crashes
We know, we currently have no good solution, we are working on it.
The bots own me!
You could try to change the botskill or the melee percent to a lower
value
I own the bots!!! W00t w00t!
You should set the bot skill to best (botskill 1), melee percent to 80%
(bot_melee_percent 80) and
the teleport percent to 100% (bot_teleport_percent 100), then we'll
talk again.
Note: you could also change the skill.cfg file, you are able to tailor
the skills of bots even more.
I still own the bots!!! W00t, w00ter, W00test!
Try the super bots.
I can't get the bots to work.
Check if you activated them, to activate them run Activatebots.exe
located inside your Earth's Special
Forces directory. If that doesn't work try reinstalling Earth's Special
Forces or the ESF bot.
When i try to start the activatebots program i get an error
about a missing dll .
Not you too?! you need msvbvm60.dll, this will fix all your problems :-)
I have a problem with something else.
Post your problem at the Esf

When its done, the ESF team is not working on Earth's Special Forces as
a fulltime job you know, these
people have something called a "life". :-P
When will the new version of ESF bot come out?
When its done, [Me], the creator has to code the bots in his own spare
time.
Maybe there is a new version out right now! check either www.esforces.com or
