failure to kick bots in botmanager.sp

hi doctor,

I've noticed in some situations the botmanager doesn't remove all bots when players have vacated the server. occasionally, it will even kick the last bot with a purge message and then immediately add a new one in a freshly emptied server (with sm_bot_join_after_player==1).

this is quite bad if it leaves one bot in arena mode - since the bot will be stuck in spec, an additional bug that causes bots to spam the console with endless name changes while in spectator can leave a bot filling the server log indefinitely. I'm not sure, but this probably prevents (or indicates a lack of) server hibernation as well.

in my case I seem to have hacked around it by hooking OnClientPutInServer & OnClientDisconnect_Post, looping for real players, and doing something like 

tf_bot_quota = ( iTotal >= 1 ? cvarBotQuota : 0 );

(actual code is messier and split between the aforementioned hooks, but I figured a quick ternary would get the point across).

apologies if this is the wrong forum, it looks like your git issues are disabled on the sm repo.

thanks,
dbx
