Bots will no longer seek ball if carrying a deployable (must use deployable first)

Fixed bugs for instagib gun sometimes not working, and sometimes auto firing, by
removing the weapon crosshair fix from prior version. Crosshair problem apparently was being

Changes for BombingRun Beta 2.1

Minor pathing fixes

Scoreboard no longer display NOT READY after game started

Added bot skill description to scoreboard

Fixed end game pic bug for one on one match where if winner died, the pic would not go to the other player



Changes for BombingRun Beta 2.0

Misc bot pathing fixes and improvements

Make bots not kill for about two seconds after spawning due to community complaint
about their unbalanced killing ability after spawning.

Spectate command available online for admins

Bot ball deflecting ability toned down and made more humanlike

When only one player is online and votes, map time remaining is reduced

Fixed ut3 issue wherein weapon crosshairs sometimes disappear after respawning

Fixed bug where sometimes when dying after shooting ball at goal, score would not register

Fixed bug where player positions would be wrong in the end game pic

Stopped first person weapon mesh from showing in end game pic if winner was jumping

Bots will not reset ball on open maps where ball base or enemy goal is in plain view
but rather lob it away

Bots now calculate ball lob distance and height to make sure they don't 
overshoot goal or accidentally score, and to make sure lob path isn't blocked too soon

When lobbing ball, bots will attempt to shoot ball through doors and holes if that gives a better lob distance

Bots now seek to avoid blockages when lobbing ball

Bots will generally not lob ball into global kill zone

Bots will generally not lob ball out of path network

Disallow carrying ball and deployables at same time

Bots not allowed to path to their home goal jump pad because jumping on it into home goal kills them

Bots are now better at resetting ball in tight places like Twin Tombs

If ball reset action fails, bot will not try again immediately

Bots no longer kill themselves when resetting ball and chasing ball into kill zone

Can now boost ball into goal for score if ball is sitting on floor after being shot from ball launcher

When doing a jumping goal shot, bots used to wait for the apex of multi jump, but 
will now shoot whenever they think the ball can reach goal

Optimized blockage detection to be much less heavy on computer's processor

Bots no longer jump at objective if it doesn't look like jumping can reach it

Bots use walking more and jumping less when pathing is failing. Bots try to calculate when jumping is needed.

Stopped bots from trying to jump up to a ledge to get to a high goal when the goal 
wasn't reachable from the ledge, or if can reach goal from floor.

Bots no longer bounce high up off ball when landing on ball in low gravity

Fixed bot gun shaking when jumping and smoothed out bot rotation when turning to new target

Bots now attack any enemy when jumping, not just ball runner

New Smart Retasking feature which allows bots to adjust their task at any time
without disrupting what they are currently doing. 
Bot response to changes in situation much faster now.
Put a stop on calling Retask so many times per second, which will improve performance.

Added new actor UTBRPathNode which a mapper can use to resolve pathing problems and build assault paths

Changed ball glow to use less framerate

Improved netplay communication for ball so that ball should jerk around a lot less

Added new TestPaths command
