Hi guys, Another thing about bots, is that when they are created from plugin, such as RCBot2, the engine doesn't always run their commands. When you create listen server in a window and then bring some other window to front, apparently, bots are trying to move, but they are stucked. I am developing bots for my thesis, and noticed this strange behaviour. When bots are created within server.dll (say with bot console command) this doesn't happens. Just wanted you to know.
