"bogus message type (0)" errors are caused when you try to send a network message without registering it first. For example, if you had something like this...

Code:

pfnMessageBegin( MSG_ONE, gmsgTextMsg, NULL, pEntity );

Code:

pfnWriteByte( msg_dest );
pfnWriteString( msg_name );
pfnMessageEnd();

...you can get that error if you never registered 'gmsgTextMsg' using REG_USER_MSG.

You should have the code be something like this instead...

Code:

if (gmsgTextMsg == 0)

Code:

gmsgTextMsg = REG_USER_MSG( "TextMsg", -1 );

pfnMessageBegin( MSG_ONE, gmsgTextMsg, NULL, pEntity );
pfnWriteByte( msg_dest );
pfnWriteString( msg_name );
pfnMessageEnd();

It should be pretty simple to search your bot code for "MESSAGE_BEGIN" or "pfnMessageBegin" and find all the places where you're not checking the message ID for == 0.

EDIT: I have NO idea why it's putting the "Courier New" crap in there.
