, i'm satisfied with the results now. My first Ripent to fix a problem with an old map (the broken rope in svencooprpg). Bots and Players can use the teleporter once the rope has been lowered from the ledge above. It works perfect now in sc3.0 through sc4.8. Use the svencooprpg_alt2e.rcw with the ropeteleport modified map. I also expanded the rcw's for svencooprpg3 as well. see below...
The patched maps are included in the latest version of the Classic Map Pack and you can get that here:
Or if you just want the RPG series you can use one of these patched map packs. Credits to BlackShadowX for the global model & res fixes, and to Spy-Warrior for the rope & bsp crash fixes. The model fixes with these packs seem more complete (or work better on sc4.8) than those that come with the classic packs. Works on sc5.0 too...
(Removed unnecessary files, that already come with sc4.x & newer, wad & mdl files)
Extract this to the svencoop folder if using sc4.x, or extract to svencoop_addon folder if using sc5.x (Includes path/folder info) (Or extract to a temporary folder & copy manually to the proper locations). Overwrite all files if you installed these maps before...
Note: I only checked these packs on sc5.0 & sc4.8, they should work on sc3.0 and newer (I did verify the rope fix does work on sc3.0). Bots can use the rope correctly on sc4.8 & 3.0 (use the alternate rcw, not the default rcw). It does not happen often, but occasionally a bot will stick on the rope coil and suicide. I tried to fix that, but my original wpt configuration seems to work the best, so no change to the rcw. Even though it is no longer needed, I still like the way the teleporter works with the bots (it's faster), so I'll leave the ropeteleport fix posted, for now...
Also, the bsp file sizes are slightly different than the bsp's that come with the classic packs, that could just be the difference in using bspedit or ripent, extra spaces maybe? I did check the rope fix and it is the same fix. Just consider the RPG packs Unofficial patches, I may replace the bsp's when I have time?
[Edit 2-25-16] [Release3b waypoints pack + map fix]I have made some changes to svencoopRPG & RPG3 rcw's. The RPG2 rcw is the same as before.
Updated svencoopRPG waypoint again, see bottom of post for details... Also, added new links for the "fixed/patched" maps...Download: madmax2svencooprpg_123_rcws3b.zip (Includes waypoints for all three maps)(Updated again)
I have posted an ENT file for svencoopRPG, so you can easily add a teleport to the unclimbable rope, so the shortcut from the first area to the last area will work on sc3.0 & newer (sc4.x). I also posted ENT files that will allow all the maps to load in steam again...

Ripent bsp fixes - Optional, See new map links above...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to post the RPG1 map bsp, with the ropeteleport fix, to make it easier for those who don't want to mess with RIPENT... I will probably let the link expire if it is not downloaded every 30 days. Or when the svencoop team releases the patched mappack for sc5.0...
Works on sc5.0 as well as sc4.x/3.0... Get it here (orange "Download Now" button on upper right side of screen, avoid the adverts and popup)...
svencooprpg_ropeteleport_fix.rar (svencooprpg.bsp with rope teleport added)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9tUv2tOt5...iew?usp=sharingHere is the ENT file to add a teleporter at that rope. It works good with the bots now. Instructions are included in the zip. The glowing sprites just indicate the teleporter has been successfully added to the map, but the teleporter won't work until the rope has been lowered from the ledge above. Expect some telefragging with the bots, but it is minimal, occasionally during combat situations only. This ENT will also fix the steam loading problem for this map.

[Edit 2-23-16] Steam crash bug fix
No longer needed if you get the patched maps from top of this post...
This zip contains instructions and 3 ent files, one for each map. If you are unable to load the maps in steam, and you get this error in the console (`):
Host_Error: ED_LoadFromFile: found when expecting {
Then you can use these ent files to fix the maps. The svencooprpg.ent in this zip will just fix the error, it won't add the rope teleport, or change the map in any way.

svencoopRPG3 rcw changes (both rcw's)
---------------------------------------------------The old rcw's were very linear, so I added a lot more wpts and a few objectives to get bots moving around a bit more. I also added a fix if a bot gets under the fortress gate, which I saw happen once. Changed wpts at the end area boss room, and so bots don't take as much fall damage at the pit and can survive (if falldamage 0 isn't read from map cfg on changelevel). Sometimes bots will shoot big crossbow too.
[Release3] (should be final) (both rcws)
Spawn room improvements so bots exit much faster and don't waste time. Also should get a better mix of classes in sc4.8, not just clerics & wizards.
----------------------------------
svencoopRPG rcw changes
----------------------------------svencooprpg.rcw (default) - The same rcw as before, with a few tweaks. Bots won't use the rope shortcut with this rcw.
Use the alt2e rcw if the rope is climbable or you have a modified (ripent) map that adds a teleporter at the rope.svencooprpg_alt2e.rcw - About the same rcw as the default, but bots will use the rope shortcut, and I made a change on the ledge there. The main difference is bots can jump down from the ledge now. Use this rcw if you are using a modified map bsp that adds a teleporter to that ledge, at the rope (my ropeteleport fix). This rcw will also work if the rope is climbable in your map (such as playing the map in sc2.1).
[RPG1 Release3] (both rcws)
Added a wpt fix to spawn room for a rare stuck bot, hopefully it is fixed this time.
I made some changes at the double ropes in the city area. Bots get over the wall better now in sc4.8. Bots still stick at the bottom of these sticky ropes when they collide or fall, but I think it's much less of a problem with this release. I have them crouching on the ropes now, so bots jump over any bot stuck at the bottom. If more than one bot is sticking to the bottom, they usually are climbing in 15 seconds or less. Bots should open the wall there more frequently, too...
[RPG1 Release3b](should be final) (both rcws) (minor fix)
Added more waypoints along the wall opposite the rope shortcut, saw a bot lost/stuck against that wall, one time. Added a wpt next to that water gate in same area, saw a bot stuck behind the open gate, one time. Fixed!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPG1 Notes: When playing RPG1 on sc4.x, you need to find the Secret Exposives, or bots won't be able to hurt the boss (garg) at the end. See the readme's for more info...
For sc4.x only, if you want to see the bots use the m16 before the mp5, in the last part of RPG1, try my bot_weapons_m16.ini, here:
