In my admins.cfg, I have the following entry...

Admins
{
	"Bots"
	{
		"auth"		"steam"
		"identity"	"BOT"
		"group" 	"Bots"
	}
}

Which has always worked fine. Bots were added to the bots group and flags were assigned properly. But recently, I've been getting this in the error logs and I don't know why.

L 01/16/2015 - 23:06:43: [admin-flatfile.smx] Error(s) detected parsing addons\sourcemod\configs\admins.cfg L 01/16/2015 - 23:06:43: [admin-flatfile.smx] (line 7) Failed to bind auth "steam" to identity "BOT" L 01/16/2015 - 23:06:43: [admin-flatfile.smx] (line Failed to bind auth "steam" to identity "BOT"

Anyone have any ideas? Have the bots ID been changed to something else?

Edit
Just remembered we recently changed from the stable branch to the dev branch.

PHP Code:

SourceMod Version: 1.7.0-dev+5126

Some of the admin identity handling was changed in 1.7 to support both Steam2 and Steam3 format ids. "BOT" apparently breaks in this detection. That wasn't necessarily intentional, but may I ask why you're adding bots into the admin system?

Makes sense, since you can just give them flags, rather than edit every plugin to treat fake clients incorrectly.
Many plugins like idle managers and such have immunity flags, giving those to bots would make that feature disable for that group.

Pretty much this. We assign a custom flag to bots so plugins can be used on them. Things like spawn speed and immunity. We may switch back to the stable branch for now then.

This is fixed now in 1.7.0-git5131 and later.

Awesome, thanks.
