COMMENT

Sorry for taking so long i underwent heart surgery that I wanted done and needed a good rest. :)


0.52
- sniper changes (they shoot more with sniper rifle) -- bug still exists where they face the wrong direction sometimes
- snipers no longer look around to listen to sounds when sniping
- fixed possible engineer crashes
- fixed possible medic crash
- fixed possible divide by zero crash
- added support for defend waypoints on PL/PLR map scripts
- rcbot waypoint load "map name" command, (use "rcbot waypoint save" after loading)
- added 'class' in bot profiles
- medics keep healing if looking away from healing player

issues/todo:
[] spies still cannot sap (*engine issue?)
[] demo's cannot set pipe traps (yet)
[] bots don't always use teleports (some situations only)

KNOWN limitations:
All of these limitations are effects of the Orange Box SDK lack
of 3rd party bot support, which are caused by the double speed/double
timing issue:

[] bots still cannot crouch
[] pyro's flame still does not show
[] sometimes engineers can't select wrench
[] other bots sometimes can't select the weapon they want
[] sometimes bots use melee weapon from long range
[] soldier rocket jumps are not perfect
[] scout double jumps are not perfect
[] bots can still move when bonked
