Cool pal, when I have time I would test it out and give feedback.

I'm adding some things for next version now.

?.??
- hwguys rev mini gun at dangerous locations
- spies no longer trie to shoot sentries/instead focus on sapping/attacking the engi
- added: rcbot_rocket_pred <value> command , a multiplier for
adding prediction to soldier rockets/demoman grenades. default: 0.45
- fixed: spies try not to uncloak when enemy is facing them
- to do: spies to avoid enemies if facing them
- bots use dispensers more
- bots change classes automatically (use rcbot_change_classes 1 command)
- bots no longer cry SPY when a player is disguised as their enemy team
- new waitopen waypoint type for arena/koth maps where waypoints can only be used once the point is open
must use :arena_point_time:<seconds> in script
-- + various spy tweaks

- will they also move as fast as a heavy should?

This sounds quite logical, actually
- added: rcbot_rocket_pred <value> command , a multiplier for
adding prediction to soldier rockets/demoman grenades. default: 0.45
Demomen might become a problem on fighting, same on Soldiers, but how about demomen distance aiming?
- fixed: spies try not to uncloak when enemy is facing them
- to do: spies to avoid enemies if facing them
- Works for me, reinforces their skill level on Spy.
- bots use dispensers more
You found a way to get it to work, huh?
- bots change classes automatically (use rcbot_change_classes 1 command)
Yay, my suggestion made it Also along with the gravity, that was the only reason to use bot manager.
- bots no longer cry SPY when a player is disguised as their enemy team
What? so, if I disguise as enemy bot, my team bots will scream spy?
- new waitopen waypoint type for arena/koth maps where waypoints can only be used once the point is open
Stops bots from committing suicide on nucleus and other maps, so it's thumbs up.
must use :arena_point_time:<seconds> in script
-- + various spy tweaks

And as a quick question,will Spybots sap dispensers and teleporters? (Will propably take longer, considering Engies need to know which tele to unsap.)

I'll focus on sapping dispensers & sentries just now,

the crying for "Spy" thing was a bug, if you disguise as a friendly , the enemy still shouts "spy", even though they won't know if you are a spy or not. So i;ve fixed that, that's what i meant

well actually it already worked, but it works better now because of the sapping code changes, i can easily check for dispensers!

Just decided to ask, how long until we get the next version? I'm curious about the release date (or deadline, you can call it that )

I can release it soon. I thought that I would get more done, but I've become more busy, so I might just release it with the latest waypoints etc later
