General

It's been made clear that Urban Terror bots are un-supported. Official advice is to not use bots unless you know what you're doing.

Some server owners like to use bots as a way of enticing players onto an empty server so there is interest in using bots.

A lot of advice for running bots applies mostly to server operators. General rules if you want to run bots.

Only include 1 or possibly 2 3rd party maps in your maps folder
Kick all bots after each map and replace them at the start of the next map
Use the 64-bit binary if possible (64-bit ubuntu is probably the best platform for a bot server)
If your server isn't capable of running TDM or CTF with 4 bots on casa - don't bother
Only certain maps support bots
Add bots one at a time

Bots in Urban Terror are not all that happy. Not all weapons are configured to be used by bots and only ffa, tdm and ctf are understood gametypes

Bots will not use ladders.

Bots will be attracted to dropped weapons over other goals, insist on carrying the flag randomly and sometimes team kill.
