Sometimes, DOD crashing, if i use this build.
Original 1.00 work perfect.

@NAvton...try verify your game cache just to be sure your dods client is fully updated so rcbot nightly build won't crash it.

This is the release nightly build full of optimizations for speed and stuff

Is the custom loadouts completely random? If not, how can I set it? It's good to see the bot profile settings through console, but I noticed the Aim skill is always stuck at 0.5000 even though it's different inside the file?

Also, I think Pyro bot should start using Airblasts. Right now it only reflects rockets and grenades (and not other projectiles from what I could see). Instead of just simply flaming, a good alternative would be:
1) Airblast enemy away
2) While enemy in air, switch to secondary and shoot
3) Repeat

I think the default TF2 bot does it already, and there's cvars that control the range.

they do use airblasts, particulary only with players on the capture point, with a flag or on MVM, but perhaps they don't with some custom weapons

the custom weapon loadsouts are random, yes, perhaps I'll add a way to customize it sometime soon

Actually I modified your code slightly to include burning players as well, and it worked.
Problem is that I cannot find the logic behind the flamethrower use, because it keeps running forward while blasting which isn't that good. Painfully obvious when you're in a small room and it keeps blasting you against the wall.

the other issue i noticed is that bots barely pick up health or ammo

It's probably in handleAttack , and the weapon probably has the flag isSpecial() = true which makes it handle like a melee weapon so that means they'll always run towards the enemy. You could make them blast only when they are facing a particular direction.

i can't find it in either bot_weapon.cpp or bot_fortress.cpp?

i can't find it in either bot_weapon.cpp or bot_fortress.cpp?

It's in CBot::handleAttack ( CBotWeapon *pWeapon, edict_t *pEnemy )

CODE

    if ( pWeapon )
    {
        clearFailedWeaponSelect();

        if ( pWeapon->isMelee() )
            setMoveTo(CBotGlobals::entityOrigin(pEnemy));

the problem is that the flamethrower is set as a melee weapon (you can change this in "bot_weapons.ini" in the latest version). The bot will always simply run towards the enemy
