Heya,
At current I know of 2 bot programs for NS
Whicbot (alien A.I only)
are for fighting aliens that work in packs, gorge and also go fade with 2 hives, wicked fun to play with these bots are a metamod mod you can find them on google, or at modns.org (I believe that is correct, but if not you can find them)
and then there is RCBOTS
they run around, can do marine and alien, last time I checked the could kinda comm, etc they are usefull for starting out and having fun without other human players there is a standalone, and last time I checked there was a metamod version in the works.
check the new player forums as this has been brought up before, and welcome to the NS forums <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
You can get them both working together. Its not that hard to do and that way you get a nice mix.
Whichbots (aliens only) will cap res build hives and change form. RCbots (as alien) will do there own thing (as marine) will follow waypoints build and report findings.
Just bind a key toeach command to addthem once installed.
Not as good as online play but great fo getting to know stuff and testing things.
Which reminds me I must update mine <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
I've found a few issues with whichbots not expanding, the best way to use them is to have both whichbots and RCBots on the alien team, using the RCBots as gorges only, and disabling whichbot gorges. RCBots cannot comm atm, and they don't seem to weld each other either which makes HA trains collapse fairly often, especially since the whichbots are fantastic at mauling RCBots. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
When setup properly though, you can have some really good games.

going to hunt for links
[/edit]
it all depends
whichbots are definetly the more skillfull of the two, and are much better at attacking, etc
RCBOTS are generall all purpose and whicbots are alien only.
give whicbots a try
