How can I play Alien Swarm with only one friend and have the AI control the other two characters?
I find it very difficult to play with only 2 characters, and I'd like to fill the empty slots with AI.
I know it must be possible somehow.
EDIT: The accepted answer works, but the bots don't do anything more than firing (no healing, no welding, nothing). I have to control them to do anything more than just firing.
Does anybody know how to solve this?

To add a bot to your game:
cl_selectm (marinenum) (slot)To remove a bot from your game:
cl_dselectm (marinenum)(marinenum) should be between 0-7 and corresponds to the character to be added.
(slot) should be between 0-3 and relates to the player slot the bot will fill. -1 can also be used; this will fill the next available slot.
These commands must be used while in the lobby; using them anywhere else will result in invalid command errors.
