Hmmmm, I thought I had them climbing pretty good. Where did you see problems? I just tested the lighthouse ladders again and had a hard time keeping up with an Axis sniper heading up to the top. Later two Allied engineers made a fast climb also. The only problem I had noticed previously was when one of the little rooms got overcrowded with bots, all trying to climb at the same time.

I looked at mp_assault per your suggestion. The bottom nodes were set well out from the bottom of the ladders while I have set mine up the steps a little way. Also, the one-way jumps on and off the tops of the ladders was very unusual. It shows that the bots are more versatile than I thought -- with proper waypointing they can get on and off ladders better than I can!
