I know that bot support REALLY sucks, and that they just hang around in the hexagonal rooms jumping up and down, and have no understanding of any of the jump pads, but ive tried everything :(. There are huge 'bot do not enter' brushes at the sides of the hexagonal rooms, and bot_roam entities at the passages that enter these rooms. There are bot_roams at all the places that they should go near the other jump pads in the main room, but they still act like CRASH on 'i can win'. I bspc'd with reachability, opotimised, i tried everything, but no. I was unable to find a detailed tutorial and how to make bots do things, if somebody could help me it would be much appreciated.
Oh yeh I've also discovered a cool (well I think so anyway) RJ in the top central room: try RJ/padjumping off the jumppads (in the room with the quad) and get onto to the top platform with the railgun -it aint that hard ;0).
This is my first map and I would be pleased to hear some (constructive) criticism.
ALSO for some reason I couldn't get the 'longname' value in the .arena file to work, so I had to resort to graphics (and I know it's a crappy name).
