You need to make a file called "mapname.arena" with this content:

Code:

{
map "mapname"
bots		"kyonshi"
longname "Lang map name"
fraglimit	10
type "single ffa tourney sp ctf"
}

The above of course should be changed if you want more bots another default fraglimit or the map is not a ctf/dm/single player map

The file should be placed in the scripts directory inside your pk3-file

How do I add this to an EXISTING pk3-file?

A .pk3 is basically nothing but a standard .zip file, just add the contents through a package program and remember to save it with the .pk3 extension.
