When Robots Go Bad

Well, the good news is that Natural Selection beta 5 is finally out. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Natural Selection is a Half-Life mod with a slight twist. Team-based: a marine team and an alien team. The Marines have a central commander to order the jar-heads around - he plays in a top-down mode (like Starcraft). The aliens have a hive-mind instead, so they can "see" each other through walls and so on.

Lots of fun. Sadly, I still can't hit a barn door at ten paces, it seems.

Anyway, the bad news: the new version broke the Linux build of WhichBot, my little pet AI. Alas.

They're apparently using gcc 3.2 in this build. Wonder if that's what made the difference?
