i really did everything as you said and made double checked the cvars, as for The map has the "info_player_deathmatch" entities i tried many maps (original hl2dm maps, gm_construct, other dm maps in workshop) but they never actually spawned.
i even tried to singleplayer and multiplayer.

what seems the problem?

did you check the convars and see if one was weird? do you have the required addons?

Yes I have the required addon which is IV04 Nextbots base.
I did check the console to see if there is any error but there wasn't.

What I pretty much did was:
.launch the map.
.open console and type:-
"hl2dm_nb_limit 16"
"hl2dm_nb_time 5"
"hl2dm_nb_allowspawn 1"
"restart" *tried without this but no use*

But nothing really happened..I can spawn them normally tho and they run and shot without any error.
The only problem is with them not spawning automatically.

I guess some other addon is conflicting with yours making them unable to spawn automatically.
Gonna try to find out which one.

But can you tell me which maps you tried those on?
If everything fails I'm just going to use NPC Spawn Platform

Thanks for this great addon, so much fun :D

search for half-life 2 deathmatch in the NPCs tab, aswell as make sure you have a navmesh else they won't move

Can't find Half-Life 2 Deathmatch section in the NPC tab, have the base mod installed, Help.

go ♥♥♥♥♥♥ self

nice

I'm having the same issue as Squeaky Fengy; I've downloaded the base, mounted HL2: Deathmatch and tested the bots on the official maps, checked the convars, used "nav_generate" on the console and spawned some bots from the spawn menu itself just to test. The bots work fine, only problem is that they don't spawn automatically.

I got two lua error reports but they were from the base itself, not from the deathmatch bots:
