first off...
you are getting bot names with (1) and stuff because the bots from the last map join back and also it runs the podbot.cfg again...
I don't think 2.5 ran the podbot.cfg each map change...
and also I don't have the same plans as PMB.. I want to actually improve this bot
yes server deactivate does delete everything but it save the list of bots in game first...
the reason it's not working that well now is if you are playing with the bots on 1.6...
1.6 changed a lot of things and one of the things is it took away the ability to detect when a map is about to changed if someone used the "changelevel" command..
