Example:
Laserdance:HEHE

Or:
Funky Byte: Is winning all you ever think about?
Boter(Made that name up):It's best to not think about the win....
Funky Byte: Is winning all you ever think about?
Boter: It's best to not think about the win...
And so on. (This bug isn't really important to me since I usualy play with pb_chat and pb_radio cvars set to 0.)

I think someone already reported it to me, but I didn't understand that time the problem. Now I see what You mean. I have also pb_chat 0, so I could miss that out. Thanks for pointing that out.

it's not really a bug, but I was at the stairs at the tunnel at de_dust2, I was in a shooting battle with a PODBot, and when I went down the stairs while shooting him, got out of his eye field behind the wall, and he kept aiming and shooting at the wall to the direction I went and gave me a headshot.
It's not that hard to do, following someone with the crosshair to the direction he went after he passed a wall, but in this case the bot went too far...

The ycan hear You (well - use headphones with higher volume, so You can hear them, too - same good), so the know You are just coming from some direction. In V3B19m they are even starting to shoot through the wall at some randomized enemy's position behind it. But as soon You are visible the bot can do a headshot for You (that's normal).

By the way, don't you think it's a bit crossing the limit when on the highest level (100) they run next to the wall and shoot before the wall ends on the enemy they never saw and most likely they will hit?

The enemy position is randomized (200,200) units. If You get really killed You were unlucky. In most cases they don't hit the target (You can watch them longer time).
(Not throught the wall, but when they run, the bullet flies a bit to the direction they were running so it flies directly to the enemy at the end of the wall, behind it.)

When I saw the other bots running infront of the faces of the enemy bot, he just let them pass by and only when they passed the wall he remembered to shoot...

I think it's fixed in V3B19m - it was a bug with checking illumintion of the player. In some cases the bot was considering he cannot see the head of the enemy, so he was trying to hit his corps. So sometimes You could see the bot is not trying even to hit the head of his enemy. You need to try it with V3B19m.

Smokegrenades? 0-3 times.

The bot is throwing a flashbang into some corridors (example de_dust2). About HE and smoke - and has been changed in V3B19m, so You need to test it first if it works better now or not.

Sometimes, I when a bot kills someone else (A bot, don't know if it happens with humans too.), the frag says that I killed that guy with a grenade.
Example:
If my name is ProRo, instead of a frag that shows that Botnic killed Laserdance with an m4a1 (just for the example), you see: ProRo killed Laserdance wit han hegrenade. There was a time even, that when a bot killed me I think with an hegrenade, the frag said I kill myself.
I don't know if it affects the number of kills/deaths on the score (TAB), still annoying...

Not related to podbot mm. It's AMX X/CSDM problem...

After the bots respawn, they hesitate, don't move or do anything, not even getting a new gun only after a few seconds they gather their energies () and start moving. By then I give each and everyone of them a nice headshot.

Put mp_feezetime to 0 then. They believe they should do nothing after respawning for a while to buy weapons (they don't know they are playing CSDM or normal game).

What I mean is let's say the first zoom (Right click) is x2 and the second (Another click) is x4. The bot looks at the wall and changes zoom to x2 then x4 quickly then back to normal. He does that a couple of times.

I think it's fixed in V3B19m - please try that version.

I think looking at the wall should be fixed in V3B19m. I was changing the code for that (they do it only when the enemy is behind the wall and is shootable through it).

The nades throwing has been changed again in V3B19m - please try if it works better now. The bot additionally checks the position the enemy is looking at, to prevent be an easy target.
They don't even run forward a bit to make the throw longer.

Even if he chased an enemy, as soon as he sees me when i'm close, still farer than the first target of his, he will be like hypnotized on me or something.

I think You should try V3B19m - I have changed the enemy selection to the closer one, so it should work better.

When I play Zombie Mod by the way, I play with all bots on aggressive stat, godlike (100). (Zombie Plague 3.56e).

Well if V3B19k wasn't good for that, more than likely V3B19m isn't better in that matter... I'll take a look at this for the next version.

So please try V3B19m and check Your list what is better (eventually worse).
