Summary0000056: Bots don't operate correctly when loading save games
DescriptionIf you load a game that was saved in a bot match, bots won't load correctly and do weird things such as sit still forever or not respawn.

Now I know bots aren't too important, but my mod happens to use bots for the single player, and has some exclusive stuff giving the player a reason to actually go through these bot matches.

A simple solution that I would be more than happy with, would be to just simply disable saving games while bots present.
Steps To ReproduceStart up Skulltag's singleplayer campaign.
Save the game.
Load the game.
The bots are now messed up.
Additional InformationMega Man 8-bit Deathmatch has a single player campaign with some unique stuff in it such as single player scripted boss fights and a story. Newcomers to Skulltag (trust me, there will be a LOT) will not understand why loading a save game in "single player" causes the bots to mess up, and will report it as a bug.

I think a fix would prevent a lot of hassle for the ST devs, and myself ;)

 This is a long known issue and was reported for example already here.

Unfortunately, fixing this is non-trivial and probably not worth the effort. What if I just disable saving when there are bots in the game?

 I would be very happy with that! (as I said in the description ;))

 Oh, I was so busy digging out the old report that I overlooked that you already proposed this ;).

 This should disable saving when there are bots in the game. Please test if it works as intended.

 It disables it from the menu, but through the console, it's still possible to save the game while bots are in-game.

 Thanks, I forgot about console saving. This should also catch console saving.

 Yeah, I can't save through the console now.

But while testing, I noticed that if you start a new game, save the game, close Skulltag, then open Skulltag up again and load the saved game, adding bots in the loaded game will make Skulltag crash with a very fatal error. This happens in 98c as well, though.

 The amount of bugs you find en passant is frightening ;). Anyway, revision 2948 should fix the crashes.

 Yes, it seems to have fixed the issue.

But one more final thing. When you load a saved game, the bots you added in the former game follow you into the loaded game even when there weren't any bots present in the saved game. Is this intentional?

 No, that's not intentional but should be fixed now :).
