A: Yes. The CSbot will not interfere with single player games.

CSbot is entirely derived from botman's HPB template. botman is the person to have figured how to run a mod on top of another mod by intercepting inter-DLL communication. Lucky for me, he released his source code so that I could develop this bot. Thank you botman!
--- William van der Sterran (http://botepidemic.com/aid/cgf/)
William's many essays on his CGF bot for ActionQuake 2 were an immense source of inspiration on a wide array of difficult implementation and theoretical issues. Thank you William!
--- Alistair Stewart (http://www.teambot.net/)
Alistair's downloadable Teambot source code was useful as I began to grapple with Counter-Strike specific bot programming. CSbot's radio and purchasing code modules were modelled after Teambot.
--- Blogger (http://www.blogger.com/)
I use this nifty web-run program to keep my webpage up-to-date. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to update a webpage regularly and not have to mess with FTP, HTML, etc.
