-#### <ins>NOTICE</ins>: The recent HL 25th aniversary update broke the NS mod. To run NS you need to go to the Steam Library -> Half-Life -> right click -> Properties -> Betas -> steam_legacy, then press "Update" where the play button normally is. This will be necessary until valve releases their HL SDK update and we then manage to fix all of the issues introduced.

 How to set up a dedicated [Natural Selection] server with [HLDS]:
 
 1. Follow these steps to get steamCMD installed and HLDS updated in it: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
-2. You'll want to run `app_update 90 validate` multiple times in steamCMD to install HLDS and fully update it, as it won't completely do it the first time.
-   - **NOTE:** Please use `app_update 90 -beta steam_legacy validate` until the mod is updated for the HL 25th aniversary release.

+1. For Linux servers:
    - Remove or rename the `libstdc++so.6` in the `hlds` directory so the linux distro's can be used instead. The one steam provides is outdated. You may need to rename the `libgcc.so.1` file in the same directory as well.
    - 32 bit C libraries might need to be installed. Try `apt-get install libc6-i386` if on debian or ubuntu. The libm.so.6 from it may need to be placed in your HLDS folder if you cannot install that package.

-There are a few different bots for Natural Selection, with Evobot being the newest and most comprehensive:
-* [Evobot]
+## Bots
+Evobot is integrated in NS 3.3 and can be configured in the listen server creation UI or via the following commands in the `server.cfg` for dedicated servers:
+```
+mp_botsenabled (0/1)        Bots are enabled Y/N
+mp_botautomode (0-2)        (0 = manually add/remove bots, 1 = Maintain min player counts, 2 = Keep teams balanced only)
+mp_botskill (0-3)        Bot skill (0 = Easiest, 3 = Hardest)
+mp_botcommandermode (0-2)    (0 = Bot never commands, 1 = Bot commands after mp_botcommanderwait seconds if nobody else does, 2 = Bot only commands if no humans are on the team)
+mp_botcommanderwait (0..)    How long the bot should wait before taking command (if allowed to)
+mp_botusemapdefaults (0/1)    Use the map min player counts defined in nsbots.ini Y/N
+mp_botminplayers (0-32)        If not using map defaults, maintain this player population for all maps
+mp_botallowlerk (0/1)        Bot is allowed to evolve lerk Y/N
+mp_botallowfade    (0/1)        Bot is allowed to evolve fade Y/N
+mp_botallowonos    (0/1)        Bot is allowed to evolve onos Y/N
+mp_botlerkcooldown (0..)    After a lerk is killed, how long in seconds should the bot wait to evolve again (default 60s)
+mp_botmaxstucktime (0..)    If a bot is stuck longer than this time (in seconds) it will suicide (default 15s)
+mp_botdebugmode (0-2)        (0 = Disabled, 1 = Drone Mode, 2 = Test Nav Mode). Use test nav mode to validate your nav files.
+
+sv_botadd <Team>    If mp_botautomode is 0, this will manually add a bot to team 1 or 2. If Team is 0, it will assign randomly
+sv_botremove <Team>    If mp_botautomode is 0, this will manually remove a bot from team 1 or 2. If Team is 0, it will remove randomly
+sv_botregenini        If your copy of nsbots.ini is lost or corrupted, this will generate a fresh one
+
+bot_cometome        If mp_botdebugmode is 1, this will force the bot to come to you. Helps test your nav file.
+bot_drawoffmeshconns    Will draw the off-mesh connections present in the loaded navigation file, color-coded based on connection type
+bot_drawtempobstacles    Will draw nearby temporary obstacles affecting the nav mesh
+```
+
+The bot system uses a modified version of the Detour library from [recastnavigation](https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation).

+Other bot plugins:
 * [RCbot](http://rcbot.bots-united.com/)
 * [Whichbot](https://whichbot.sourceforge.net/)
