Ideally should the game or server crash, Lindholm should restart, creating a new server.

Presumably it sometimes checks slots partway through adding bots, when blue has one more bot than red.
Maybe add a timer preventing checks close to adding bots, or add a short wait to the end of adding bots.

Current log system only logs some errors, and it is unclear which run the log is representing.

Calling remove all bots will occasionally do nothing. This causes bots to be treated as players during team scramble.

Team scramble sometimes might make more swaps than needed.

When lindholm is run while overwatch is closed, it attempts to open overwatch. This frequently begins to open overwatch and then crashes.

Will allow for manually undoing an autobalance swap.

It's relatively simple to link Lindholm to a discord bot through configuration in cfg.yaml
In Unreal 300 bot this was used for an updating player count and announcing server failures, but could be integrated in other ways. With OCR this could allow OW to discord chat communication, and list players currently in game. With manual map selection this could report the current map.

After loading a new map, Lindholm will sometimes immediately detect a new end of game, wait 30 (for the potg it thinks is happening) and then restart the map again.

An issue when lindholm is setting up the server from scratch.
Primarily a deltin issue.
Could be minimizes by adding flat wait time before loading presets.

Dynamically add bots based on number of currently filled slots to make sure at least X slots are filled.
This may be gross to set up in the config file.

Add game logging for later analysis.

Requirements:

• Easy to add new heroes and maps without breaking previous logs.
• Time and date logged with match, for filtering by server patch.
• Log length of game.
• Log winning team.
• Show hero total playtime per team as a
• Accurately remove bots from logging (historically difficult)
• Preferably low file size, as the log accumulates over long periods.
• Preferably human readable format.
  See logging mechanism in Unreal 300 bot for reference.
  Analytics for the Unreal 300 bot log format are already complete, but the log format could likely be improved.

With manual map selection, can also log maps for offense/defense balance and map winrates.
With OCR can log players, for player win rates and mmr.

When Lindholm desynchs (thinking its in the lobby while it's in a menu), the deltin function Reset corrects the error.
While all desynchs are corrected eventually, some are not corrected immediately, particularly around the beginning of a new round.

Lindholm's predecessor, Unreal 300% bot, was able to manually select the next map. Previously this was wildly unstable due to menu desynchronization, but with Deltin's new reset function, it may now be safe.
Benefits:

• Lindholm can identify the current map (because Lindholm chose the map). Useful for logging.
• Prevent entering recently chosen maps.
• Potential to give maps different probabilities based on popularity.
• Potential for preset map rotations.

Necessary to support boss servers and others.
