Version 0.7.6 adds recording subfolders.  This enables recorders to switch to subfolders for recording and playback, such as for speedrun strats, without mixing it up with the basic tutorial recordings.

Note: Switching the current recorder directory affects !showme and !jb_list.

Usage:

jb_chdir foldername		- switches to record/playback from the subfolder: /tf/addons/sourcemod/data/jumpbot/foldername
jb_chdir .		- returns to the default directory for record/playback: /tf/addons/sourcemod/data/jumpbot/

*cough* auto reload *cough*

Version 0.7.9 resolves an issue with timers (i.e. Resurfed's) not saving player positions prior to showme by adding a cvar jb_showme_savecmd that will be executed on the player first.

Version 0.7.10 fixes a bug introduced in 0.7.9 that does not make the player spectate the bot on showme.  In addition, a marker now shows the starting position of each showme recording on the map, and the bot now autoreloads its weapons.

and the bot now autoreload its weapons.

That's right.  Botty can finally look like a robot.

The downside is Valve didn't port all the animations to the robot skin, so jumping looks odd outside of first person.

Thank you, also, you can activate jumpbot when in spectate, not sure if that's just because RNC's server is running an outdated version or something.
