[T6][ZM] ZM Bots

RlKk01

Furox1514 Would you mind sharing a screenshot of the command error or telling me how you entered the command in the console?

Minor update:

The code for the function that allows bots to throw grenades has been updated.
The number of zombies required to throw grenades at them has been reduced from 7 to 5.

Furox1514 Are you sure you type "set zm_bots #" and not just "zm_bots #"?

can ssomeone explain setup such as where to even put the folder? im new

Whiny Whiny

mlgjess13 Press WIN+R and type %localappdata%, or if Run is unavailable, find C:\Users\your user\AppData\Local, find the 'Plutonium' folder, open it, then go into 'storage', then 't6', and drag the 'zm_bots' folder into the 'mods' folder.

Hey is there no way to custom the bots health anymore?

Furox1514

@AbsentGail Yes, I typed it exactly like that: "set zm_bots #".

RlKk01

Furox1514 But you need to type a number, not a character, like: "set zm_bots 3", and without the “”.

@HyperFireXD You can always grab the uncompiled folder and rename it as "zm_bots"; then, inside of it, create the folders "scripts/zm", move both files inside the "zm" folder. There you can now edit the files as you want.

New update:

Bots will now be able to get a shield if the player has it.
The maps "Mob of the Dead" and "Origins" will now behave as if there's only one player. (This means you'll be able to get all the craftable pieces on "Mob of the Dead", or activate the generators on "Origins" without needing assistance).

Minor tweaks:

Removed the condition to input a console command to set the amount of bots (More details on the main post).
The PaP functionality has been reworked, allowing bots to travel to the machine and even get their current weapon skin and attachments. (I hope this fix makes the bots' weapons display correctly, without any bugs).
Bots will now buy perks within a smaller radius, instead of having a radius covering the entire map to reach them.

KaiserFranz You're welcome

Zoxi.-

Hey buddy ! great job !
But...i don't know how it's working btw.

Like i did this :
go here : C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t6\mods\zm_bots
create a folder zm_bots and i put these 2 files.

after this, i'm going to a custom game : in the console write : set zm_bots 3 (for ex) and...nothing ? what am i doing wrong ?

Zoxi.- You're supposed to move the folder "zm_bots" to the "mods" one. Move the mod folder, the "zm_bots" one, here "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t6\mods". Also, you don't need to input the command in the console anymore, they will spawn in-game already.

Unfortunately the mod doesn't work for me. Done exactly how it says. Pasted the "zm_bots" folder inside the "mods" folder inside the t6 folder inside the plutonium directory.

Loaded up a Transit game and a Survival game, neither loaded any bots

MetalZeroOne2346 I downloaded the mod and tested to be sure, and it works fine. Are you sure that you went to "custom games" and not to "solo play"? Also check if you have the party closed in the lobby before you start a game.

MetalZeroOne2346

Yes, I even changed the max party limit to 8 and even then, nothing. Just tried the original mod and it's working normally. But this one is not. Very strange.

Should the party be open or closed?

RlKk01

MetalZeroOne2346 It should be open; after all, bots are clients.

Edit: Okay, i tested it myself even with the party closed and they even spawn that way; i don't know what's going on.

RlKk01 The problem was I didn't literally LOAD the mod on the mod menu.

I'm used to play with the old version which was installed on the scripts folder, thus not needing to be activated.

Just activated the mod and it worked. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the quick responses!

RlKk01

MetalZeroOne2346 Oh thank lord! For a moment there, i thought i'd messed it up somehow.
