I have just spent the last 4 hours trying to comprehend instructions, hooks, and whatnot. Now I turn to those who know for help.
What I've come to understand is that bots don't work on CTF. But I've played on 2fort with them, and I love them. I'm without internet for 3 weeks at a time, and would like to play with my son via lan.
Here's what I HAVE learned.
Bring up console.
Type sv_cheats 1
Type nav_generate
Type tf_bot_add 24
Type Sv_cheats 0
Type Retry
I've tried this on 2fort, but Blue Team only sits blissfully ignorant in its spawning base while the Red Team awaits piled outside their entrance to grant them insta death.
I've learned of Omnibot, Sourcemod, and 3 year old tricks that dont work anymore (or any less). I've watched tons of videos on YouTube on How-To that I can't read what the heck they're typing because it's too low-resolution.
I can't understand how to install Omnibot or Sourcemod because they write their instructions to those who know what they're doing, and I don't. I have Windows 7, and have no clue where to place what files or install x.
I would like to run a nondedicated server so that my son and I can play against the bots. I would REALLY like to be able to play 2fort with good bots that are good fighters on a LAN, not just bots that stand still.
Any detailed instructions would be fantastic. I appreciate your time for reading all this, and thank you in advance for your help.

Welcome to facepunch
Bots have so far only been programmed to play KOTH maps and cp_dustbowl. Bots tend to screw up when there is more than one CP or a different objective such as a Payload or Intel.
I would recommend just playing on koth_nucleus, koth_viaduct, koth_sawmill, and cp_dustbowl. You don't have to mess with the console for those maps and the bots will already work.
If you want to play on another koth map, just do sv_cheats 1, nav_generate, then restart server.
I don't think omnibot was released for TF2.
The only TF2 bots that would work for CTF maps would be RCbots. To summarize those bots, they don't give a good fight.
You'd be better off playing Attack/Defend, 5 CP or KOTH with the built in bots.

Don't they work on Goldrush now?
That's what people were saying. I haven't been able to try it though because this computer is shit.
Bots will pretty much work okay with most CP maps. But with CTF and Payload, you might as well wait for Valve to officially make those.
Bots only dont work at all in CTF, in KOTH, Arena, PL, CP, they work fine but with a good Nav mesh they are only good conterparts, in the maps koth_nucleus, koth_viaduct, koth_sawmill, and cp_dustbowl the Nav mesh it's made by Valve it self so in those maps they work much better.
In the TF2 Steam forums can be found some custom Nav meshes. they aren't the best u can get but still good enoungh.

You don't have tf_bot_add in your commands, maybe there's something missing here
Thank you for your help everyone=D
How effective is RCBots?
Shit.
I've not tried RCBots, never tried them when I first heard of them, over 8 months ago.
Also, 3point CP maps work
and PL_Upward is the only working PL Map
(PL_Goldrush works as I've heard, but only RED work, BLU bots do nothing)
Valve bots can only play KOTH, Arena, CP_* and Payloads type maps, tho some of them are buggy for them (running into locked doors on some maps), they work pretty good, CTF doesn't works at all as of yet, you can't fix that yet, and I think omnibot and other user-made bots just aren't as enjoyable as valve ones.
TF_Bots:
KoTH=fully playable
Arena=(Status unknown from personal knowledge)
CP=5point maps incompatable
CTF=Does not work
PL=Upward is the only perfectly working map

Arena doesn't work yet. The bot just stands in the base.
Yeah your best bet is sticking with cp and koth maps. I wouldnt use RCBots.
Just a reminder
5Point CP maps don't work
3/2 Point CP maps do
I guess bots are only programmed for Attack/Defend and KoTH so far.
And Upward must have been a bot PL test since its the only pl map to work with bots.
But there is a server out there that uses bots on both red and blue bots on 2Fort. Any idea how they do that?
Modded server
