Summary

0003472: Bots vanish from server in "islobby" maps since 3.0

Description

I noticed this while testing some duel on a 3.1 server. Whenever I'd change the map back to the lobby start map, the bot I played with would always disappear. It turns out that it's been working this way since 3.0. 2.1.2 works fine as the bot remains on the server.

Steps To Reproduce

1. zandronum -host -iwad doom2.wad -file islobby_botremoval.wad +addbot omicron
2. Enter "nextmap" into the server console and watch the bot disappear without a trace.

Notes
(0024640) Ru5tK1ng (updater) 2025-11-05 14:05	Looks like it's the result of this commit:'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/commit/ab06cd1fa419f694405b8cdd80e7039a7ba8f035 [^]' P_LoadBlockMap is called when the level is loaded and it seems bots are just removed if it's a lobby map. Looking over the commit, Konar must have felt a lobby map was a good time to free up the memory. I'm not really sure what the implications are if the lobby check is removed.
