Bots for Zombies mode for BO2/T6 V0.2
-
I decided to try this mod, playing Mob of the Dead, Origins and Nuketown Zombies. What I already noticed is that their wander behaviour is really unactive, they often stop after their objective is complete, and will only move when there's another one (a door, zombie, etc.)
Here's Billy standing still after opening the door:
Yes, I know that they will probably move around the map actively once the hordes appear, but it makes the first rounds rather dead.
Another problem, and I assume it was the function from the older mod that got somehow broken, is that they notice the zombies in the windows, they shuffle around, point their gun at them yet never shoot them.
They also never buy wall weapons and rarely use the box unless you directly lead them to it. But even after getting at least one weapon from the box, they forget about it and almost never use it despite having enough points for it. Most of the game they use M1911 and often get in the situations like these:
The problem with distant PaP is sadly still there, meaning they will get upgraded weapons earlier than they should.
Here, PaP didn't drop yet:
And the upgraded weapons also don't look like ones if we're spectating the bots:
The mod itself is good, the ideas are decent but need some work on them. -
@More-Ordovices Hi pal', thanks a lot for the errors/bugs discovering, I fixed all what you said i this message, sorry if I last long in it, but now the V0.1.1 in Github is released now with all the bugs fixed that you discovered.
Xplod_ Thanks for taking these into account. I decided to take the same 3-map marathon to check on any new errors. Everything worked great, some bots were damaging the zombies with their pistols before knifing them, which is cool.
I found out that bots often use explosives (such as RPG as shown here) at point blank range. While I understand that they have a large number of HP, I think it would be more realistic to make them switch to less extreme weapon.
They often don't take the power into account (Afterlife charged or powered by the generator) and simply stare at the perk machine, trying to buy it.
When I tore them away from QR by using the follow behavior, they still ran to it, now being unable to buy it because they're broke, so Origins is playable only with them following you, in my opinion. Otherwise, most of the problems are fixed and the bots are great to play with on other maps. -

I can't find where should i write the "set zm_bots #" command. Should it be in the chat in game? I tried but didn't work for me, do I need other mods for it to work? Thanks for the help!

Xplod_ Found a bug with the new update sometimes the bots don't pick up the buildable parts and Instead look up and do whatever this Is. they do this with buildable parts, generators, shovels, and staff discs I'm pretty sure they do It with other things but I haven't checked.
