It's been a while, but I've finally put together a new Paintball 2 build!
This build has a large focus on bots and, in addition to improving their behavior makes it easy to add/remove bots from the admin menu. Also has a crude implementation of a new game mode: item hunt.
Update:

http://digitalpaint.org/files/temp/paintball2_build046_full_pretest1a.exebuild 46 (2023-12-08):
- Media: Added bot options to menu to make it easier for players to create servers with bots.
- Bugfix: Executable is now "DPI aware" in windows, so it doesn't get scaled weird and go off-center if you have your scaling set to something other than 100% (ex: 4k monitor).
- Cvar: Maximized status of the window is now remembered (stored in "vid_maximized" cvar).
- Tweak: Disabled launching the tutorial every time you play the game until it's completed (can still launch it from the menu).
- Bots: Cvar: "bot_use_player_input" - if set, bots will mimic player input from a spawn point, resulting in realistic human round-start behavior.
Server:
*** 1.935 build 193-204 ***
- "bot_min_players" cvar specifies how many "players" will be on the server. Will fill in AI players if there are not enough human players to reach the specified number. Only spawns bots if there are players on the server. 4:05 PM 12/1/2021
- "bot_min_bots" cvar specifies the minimum number of bots that will be on the server when players are present. 6:59 AM 4/27/2022
- "bots_vs_humans" cvar determines how many bots to spawn for each human in the server (ex 2 will spawn 2 bots per player).
- Made bots aware of game modes and go after or defend objectives appropriately.
- Added item hunt mode. Will attempt to work on existing maps by randomly spawning items at bot waypoints or other equipment spawns and allowing players to cap at base or the king of the hill zone.
- "itemhunt_elim" sets elim time in item hunt mode
- "itemhunt_model" sets the model to be shown.
- "itemhunt_itemname" sets the name displayed in messages when players pick up / capture the item.
- "itemhunt_numitems" sets the number of items that will be simultaneously active in the match.
- Hopefully fixed the occasional issue where you'd spawn facing the ground. 10:03 PM 1/14/2023
- "g_spawnprotect" sets the time, in seconds, that players are invulnerable after spawning. Default 0.5. 10:46 PM 1/14/2023
- "autojoin" cvar now updates the autojoin setting when set mid-game (before you had to use the autojoin command). 7:42 PM 6/17/2023
