It would probably be best to embed the bot stuff inside your level, and also to release it separately on your website for other people to stick in theirs. That way you'll never have to worry about making sure they have the file or if you update the file to include more bot intelligence upgrades. Did you say you'd gotten the bots to lift-jump? If not, it'd probably be best to try to add that to the file before you release it so it draws more publicity. Maybe you could even enter it into Phase3 of MSU or turn it into a full-blown bot intelligence upgrade "addon" project - so that people can stick it in their levels and write a line in the credits that says "Includes the BotSmarts mods v1.23 by Barballs". (You could start a website just for it and get a team together that tries to get bots to do new and more human-like things, like jumping around more often whilst fighting). Never put limits on ideas :0)
EDIT: It would be really cool to also make some sort of mutator that would work with the existing levels to get them to be smarter on the levels that don't/wouldn't have the intelligence upgrade in them.
I would also like to say I can't wait to see this level when its lighting and static mesh implementations are done. ^_^ If those walls are stucco (which I wasn't sure when I said they looked like stucco and still am not) then you could have a lil bit of it peeled/fallen off with the brick showing underneath to add some interest. To add a little interest to the flak and link rooms, you could add a small platform or indent in the floor either under or around the weapon, or possibly some support beams or platforms above the main area (which you could jump or dodge-jump to from the catwalk).
If I think of anything else, you can bet that I'll write a paragraph on it here.
