Prevented another crash if admin attempts to spawn more bots than max clients.
Removed a lot of dead bot-related code.
Adjusted timing settings for much of the bot code.

Updated libcod.
Moved MYSQL database from website to US server. Hopefully this fixes some crashing issues we've been having lately due to hitting max_connections limit.

We have identified and hopefully fixed a common server crash that started occurring recently.

Just giving a heads up that the lack of updates is due to a decision to re-write the whole mod from scratch.

Much progress has already been made and countless tweaks/improvements have been applied.

I won't give away too much information but I will say gametypes that don't support bots (SD, HQ, CTF) will work fine (With bots disabled - for now). This opens the door for CTF servers.

I'm also sifting through CoD2's source code looking for a way to make stock weapon dropping/pickup work properly with bots. Much progress has been made here but at this stage is incomplete.

Updating on my previous post - Stock weapon dropping/pickup now works correctly with bots. This hopefully means less lag and removes approx 100kb of downloading. Now I can finally move on.

These changes will be seen when the re-write is released.

I feel like I'm getting close to release, so I will update on what I'v been up to.

Here is what has been DONE (As far as I can remember...);

Stock TDM rewrite.
Stock DM rewrite.
Stock SD rewrite.
Stock HQ rewrite.
Stock CTF rewrite.
Bot animations completely redone. They will now stand, crouch, reload, fire, change walk direction etc.
Bot shooting and reloading completely redone.
Bots now use stock weapons.
Due to bots using stock weapons, the mod is no longer has any custom weapons, which saved a fair bit of downloading.
Bots will not pickup stock weapons from the ground, allowing me to use the stock weapon pickup system.
Sprint code completely re-written. Should be much smoother.
Disabled throwing nades while sprinting.
Disabled certain situations a player could sprint but shouldn't such as on ladders or moving backwards.
Brand new sprinting animations.
Bot stance code redone. Will only stand/crouch on random occasions. No longer prones due to being unrealistic.
Map voting code completely re-written.
Nomination code completely re-written.
Player and admin commands completely re-written. 80% done.
Player rank code improved.
HUD icons are now smaller and see through.
Bots now have their own HUD icons.
Completely re-written cross-server chat code. Should be much less laggy when released.
Changed server name from "Console" to "Server".
Changed all bot pings from 999 to 0.
Bots will no longer stack on top of each other if shooting an enemy.

Fixed countless bugs.

And that is all I can think of right now, although there is more. I'm confident once done it will hands down be the best bot mod ever created for CoD2.

Sweet...sounds like it will be awesome
