SiN Deathmatch with Bots - Part One, Spry, No Commentary
3UPDATE: I've done a better longer video here: https://youtu.be/uVsTKc1nk0M
Finally managed to get the bots to work, they don't work with the Steam version or the source port. I only managed to get it to work in the original retail version, and software rendering only so my next challenge is to fix that so it looks better. I'm going to record a longer video showing all the maps once I get it running a bit better, just wanted to record something while it's working and document the steps before I forget and it crashed when I tried to change map.
Here are the steps to get the bots working:
Step One
Download and install the original retail version of SiN:

Step Two
Download and install the 1.11 patch:

Step Three
Download and install the bots:

Step Four
Use hex editor to change resolution to 1080p:

Step Five
Read the readme file for the bots and it explains how to add them to the game.
Step Six
I also changed the FOV to 100 in the console because in wide-screen 1080p it looks zoomed in otherwise. I think you press ~ to open the console, then type "fov 100". I'm not sure it looks quite right looking at it now, so next I am going to try other values until it looks less zoomed in.
UPDATE: Step Seven
To get OpenGL working I followed this guide:
