@hondaman: there is ONE thing that makes bots crash (for YEARS), it is when a plugin decides to send them a HUD text network message, or any sort of network message directed to the client.dll. There's simply nothing we can do about it ! If the plugin maker cares about bots he will send these messages to real clients only, but most of them don't think about all this and persist sending network messages to bots. It makes the bot crash, and it is the bot DLL which is crashing and not the plugin, okay, but hell I can't just disassemble and recompile the whole Counter-Strike client.dll to include it with the bot !!! There is nothing I can do, if the bot crashes it is not the bot maker's fault but the plugin maker ! That which not everybody understands the first time, but it's the truth ! Cruel world :'( :'( :'(

Anyway yesterday I made a mistake while fixing the crash bug on cs_maps, and the result was a bug where the bots would try picking up a primary weapon on the ground when they have the shield. This bug is fixed. Download the new release at this URL as usuals:

Sorry for that bug.
