Like he said, in CS Source nav file contains place names also. FrontHall, Backyard, etc that gets shown under the radar and in the chat if someone triggers automatic command like "Enemy Spotted". The place name will automatically included into that message in the chat. It's just not used much in custom maps as nav files are usually missing anyway.

Clients don't need any nav files, the server handles all the navigation stuff.

Depending on your maps I'd recommend to keep the .nav files downloadable.

...they're not just for bots, but also for naming certain areas and for
hostages (a hostage map without its .nav will freeze them to their spot
making it impossible for CTs to lure them to the safe house).

nav files shouldn't be added to the download list, clients don't need the nav files to connect and play on a bot enabled server (bots are there to ease startup in early hours). As it is now if you generate nav files (for maps that don't have them by default) you are forcing clients connecting to the server to download those nav files. Using sv_downloadurl somewhat mitigates the issue - two download requests are sent: .nav.bz2 and .nav, if both fail (404) client gives up.

Is anyone aware of a cvar or source mod plugin that will let remove the nav files from the download list?
