Description:
After you die, you can take over a BOT from your team and continue playing. By default, the first take over costs $1000 of your in-game money, and by default the prices goes up $250 each time. These amounts are configurable, see the Cvars and Installation sections below for details. To take over a BOT, spectate the BOT and you should see a message at the bottom of the screen telling you if you have enough money to take over the BOT.
Cvars:
bot2player_version - returns the plugin version
bot2player_enabled - 0 disables, 1 enables
bot2player_price - Starting cost to take over a BOT (resets each map). Default=$1000
bot2player_increase - Amount to raise price each time a player takes over a BOT. Default = $250
Installation:
As of version public.2013.06.13.18.13, all files are included in the .zip file. You can merge the zipped cstrike folder with the existing cstrike folder on your server. Check bot2player_public.cfg for user-configurable options.
Dependencies/Requirements:
SRCDS configured for CS:S, MetaMod:Source, and SourceMod 1.5 or higher (may work with older SM versions
and the
SDKHooks extension). No other plugins, extensions, or other files not included here are required.
Known Issues:
Known Issues that MIGHT be fixed:
1. In certain cases, players can take over a BOT even after the BOT has died.
2. Occasionally players are able to keep weapons they got from the BOT take over into the next round (i.e. the teleport/weapons strip doesn't
always work). I have not seen this error in so long that I am ready to strike it out as of version public.2013.06.23.23.46.
Known Issues that will NOTbe fixed:
A. There is a slight delay - a second or two - before certain primary weapons respawn after taking over a BOT. The m4 and tmp are weapons known to have this delay.
B. Occasional error messages for invalid weapon entities
C. Occasionally, you will take over a BOT that is in a position that leaves you "stuck" in/against an object. Taking over a BOT that is crouched will often leave you "stucK".
D. Every single "client not connected"/"client not in game" error.
With all due respect to other coders here, any code routine that does anything involving a client should already check that the client has the connection/in-game state required to do whatever it was you were trying to do in the first place. Redundant code just sucks. For example, to check what team a client is on, as in GetClientTeam(), should already check that the client is connected. If you get a spam of errors, I might fix it. For one or two errors, it's harmless, and you are free to modify the code any way you wish.

Changelog:
Version public.2013.06.30.15.51: Changed a check fixed in the last version from IsClientConnected to IsClientInGame. Changes start at line 297 in the source code.
Version public.2013.06.23.23.46: Again, added some checks to suppress
harmless error messages.
Version public.2013.06.13.18.13: Added some checks to suppress error messages. Changed to .zip file format.
Version public.2013.05.20.16.48: Fixed known issue #2,
but there has been very little play testing. Players
should no longer be able to take over BOTs that have died.
Version public.2013.05.15.17.13: Several things here. First, changed the file names: removed the period and replaced with an underscore: bot2player_public.*. Removed the hardcoded 4.7 weapon strip delay (thanks to thetwistedpanda
) and based delay on mp_restart_round_delay. Added cvars for the starting cost and price increase for taking over a BOT. Added .cfg file for those cvars. Moved some code around and did general clean up.
Version public.2013.05.14.19.47: Added some client connected checks to reduce error spamming
Version public.2013.05.12.18.56: Initial release.
