I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a custom server with like 20 alien bots and maybe 3 human players. I want to play some defensive gameplay. If there are any commands or tricks to get this working, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Ah. I believe shine admin has a plugin for this. let me see if i can find them for you.
Maaybe not. alternately you can just download the NSL mod and turn on tournament mode. (i think?) Which should allow you to have unbalanced teams.
Thanks. Using the command "cheats 1" instantly unbalances the teams and puts the bots in their respective teams. Only question now is how to respawn the whole alien team instantly or have infinite eggs with no one on the alien side?

You will need to make binds
in console
bind "key1" addbot "x" "1 or 2 for which team"
bind "key2" removebot "y"

I wouldn't use cheats on a server unless the people on there are known by you and it is passworded. When cheats are on, any client can upload any piece of code to the server. It would be very simple to make a mod without team balance in it. Then you can set up the server as you wish.

If you are the server admin you don't even need cheats to add bots. You can also run the TGNS mods which lets you play against Alien bots until the player count reaches 10 humans.
All the suggestions are great, but they are used for adding bots to the alien team. I'm not sure if these suggestions will work for this, but the aliens are not spawning fast enough currently. The teams are 3 marines vs. 16 aliens, but when we kill the first wave of 16, the aliens only come in groups of 3-4 instead of the full 16 ever again. We tried to manually spawn eggs on the alien side to get them spawning faster, but they just didn't spawn back. Thanks for all the help!

You will want to then type

Have fun.
