You could even consider just using bot-players instead of xmodels, you CAN play anims on those

The playeranim.script might be loaded, but the client does not parse/cache it on rejoin. When a client connects to a server it caches a list of ALL animations the server uses. Death animations, first person animations, world animations are all stored into a client side array. This doesn't get reset/reloaded when joining another server. I can't think of a better way to explain it. If you want to test, run the meatbot mod, join a regular server, chill for a minute and then join the meatbot server. It will kick you and return an error similar to "Unknown token: bot_stand" due to the anim files not being reloaded.
I'v spent some effort attempting to fix it, and even found the source of the problem. Problem is the issue is client-side, so cannot be patched using libcod.

There are two ways to spawn bots:
1.) Use script_models
Advantage:2.) Or spawn bot players
- It is the cheapest solution, you dont have to rent 64-slots server.
Disadvantage:
- You have to model and precache every frame of the motion. The max precachable model limit is low.
Advantage:
- Less server resource needed.
- Better hitbox.
Disadvantage:
- It is hard to make good-looking motion.
- You must restart the server to free the slots.
In the first case I can recommend you my botmod. Download here.
If you choose the player bots, search for meatbot on moddb.
Maybe the best solution if you combine the bot players and the libcod. There are many tutorials on the forum how to use the extension (eg. change player's anim, it may be useful in the future).
hi all
another big Disadvantage using Bots ist the problem when the hitboxes are touching each other u cant hit them with weapons, only splash damage works like grenades .i could never fix it only solution i know is let them never touch each other
