* Bots no longer get perma-stuck when standing on the drill in Ragnarok (or similar situations in other maps)
* Fixed fades getting glued to the ceiling when trying to blink into a vent
* Fixed bots getting stuck on top of railings sometimes
* Fixed bots sometimes deciding to evolve in the ready room on certain maps
* Updated nav mesh for eclipse
* Improved hearing logic
* Improved marine combat decision making (they don't all cluster around the CC for no reason anymore)
* Bots can now hear regen sounds

- Fixed reload animation not always playing
- Fixed numerous incorrect or broken alien weapon animations on every class
- Added transitional animation out of gorge building
* Fixed bots getting into a clusterfuck when multiple try to use a lift at the same time.
* Improved nav meshes for various maps
* Added new console commands for debugging to force bots to evolve
* If there is no CC, infantry portal or hives in NS mode, bots will revert to deathmatch behaviour to finish the game
* Fixed bots flying off target when leaping/blinking sometimes
* If there is no armoury to retreat to, marines won't back off and will attack (stops clustering around the CC for no reason).
* Improved the bot guard behaviour
* Improved randomisation of bot names and chamber sequences
* Fixed bug where bots would drop hives within range of siege bases
* Fixed bug where requesting turret factories and sentry turrets from the AI commander would place a phase gate instead
Bots will no longer see cloaked players, and have a chance based on cloak level, movement and size of the players. Bots will also sneak when approaching enemies while cloaked.
