Hello Superhebbe,

Yes a very good point and for those reading this thread one to watch out for for sure! It's something I did encounter when I first went balistic adding hundreds of new bot profiles...in my haste to set them up I sometimes got a weapon name wrong - simple typo. However I found that rather than say crash the server outright I simply got a nice prompt in my console (change of map) reporting weapon not found etc. but I checked them all carefully after that....it's of course possible I missed one..?

I do think that Cheeseh may have a point though..and as you know my BOT profiles specified magnum and xbow or a specific weapon at least, whereas I think I'm right saying you use mostly default weapons? I had none like that "at all".

I say "had" because...I'm currently testing an alternative BOT for HL2DM, some features are better, some not so - but zero crashes too date.... and in this respect I note ...the new BOTs only use default weapons - (including secondary fire) It is entirely feasible then I would have found the fix doing what Cheeseh suggested and what I think you do anyway - use default and not just specific weapons.

Still a very good post SuperHebbe - and something for people to bear in mind!

Regards!!
