The CBasePlayer->ProcessUserCommands() trick (which I started) doesn't work anymore as has been said, but the CBasePlayer->PlayerRunCommand() doesn't work either, even if you do pass the correct movehelper pointer. The debug error is that the function isn't returning as it expected so it sounds like Valve changed the CBasePlayer class, and therefore changed the virtual function table. However the SDK hasn't been updated (?), so currently we can't use the CBasePlayer class.
I don't know if Valve changed the CBasePlayer to stop us using it or if it was to fix some bugs. I think it's just something they had to do to get the bots working.

PS. Botmans way will always work, because it is based on building a network message. (until they re-write the netcode)
