Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion pack for Valve Software's science fiction first-person shooter video game Half-Life. The game was developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sierra Entertainment on November 1, 1999. Opposing Force is the first expansion for Half-Life and was first announced in April 1999. Randy Pitchford, the lead designer on the game, later noted that he believed Gearbox was selected to develop Opposing Force because Valve wanted to concentrate on their future projects. Over the course of development, Gearbox brought in a variety of outside talent from other areas of the video games industry to help bolster various aspects of design. Opposing Force returns to the same setting as Half-Life, but instead portrays the events from the perspective of a U.S. Marine, one of the enemy characters in the original game. The player character, Adrian Shephard.

Nice dude! but there are better bots for NS, op4 and hldm already. You should concentrate more on They Hunger and GC and add waypoints support of better yet try use the source codes of parabot or jk_botti on those since they have automatic waypointing routine already.

Thanks - yes you're right there are better bots out there but I do intend to improve support for all games and mods I'm supporting (I want to add commander bots for Natural Selection for example). Also, it's a bit of a learning experience for me.
As for using code from other bots, I have nothing against it but I'm not sure how hard it would be - the template I'm working from didn't even have waypointing code so I had to modify and copy in the waypointing code from a different version of HPB Bot (it wasn't simply copy and paste).
I'm not forgetting about the Gunman Chronicles or They Hunger though - I want to have the Gunman Chronicles bots at least use one weapon variant in the next release.
