How about you create a new secondary structure that holds the essential information for respawning bots.

If the a new map is loaded using a "safe" method, then set a flag in the structure (or somewhere) which indicates that bots do not need to be respawned - I'm assuming the old bot code will respawn all the bots correctly.

After ServerActivate clears everything (but not the secondary structure if the bots are to be respawned) and our special flag says that the bots should be respawned, then do so using the info contained in the secondary structure.

The structure can be updated from whatever changes the original structure (addbot, kickbot) not sure, because this part could be full of spaghetti.

What do you think?
