ZM Bots

Description
What is this?
A mod that adds friendly bots to Zombies Mode to fight alongside you. Bots use non-occupied player slots and (try to) act like real players. The number of bots can be modified by changing your party size in the lobby.
The mod can be played solo, in split-screen, with friends and it also works in offline mode. It supports every original map and most of the custom ones.
This mod is a remake of Team Bots for ZM.

Bots are able to:
  • Wander, hold a position or follow you
  • Shoot and melee zombies
  • Buy wall weapons
  • Buy random box weapons
  • (Re-)Pack-A-Punch weapons
  • Buy perks
  • Buy (most) doors
  • Revive others
  • Pick up power-ups
  • Repair windows
  • Use shields and PES suit
  • Use 2 weapons (3 with Mule Kick)

They have:
  • Increased health - 300% by default, 600% with Juggernog (compared to default player health).
  • Faster health regeneration - 50HP per second.
  • Unlimited ammo - their weapons get replenished when they swap them.
  • Ability to teleport - When set to Follow and cannot reach any player's location, bots will teleport to the closest player in a short time. If no player is found on the navmesh they will auto-switch to Wander.

Bots can buy ANY perk, but prioritize:
  • Juggernog
  • Double Tap
  • Speed Cola

Bot modes:
  • Wander: Bots wander around the map. They engage zombies, buy doors when they have enough points and also pick up power-ups (if enabled).
  • Stay: Bots move to the position of the host player and defend there. They will only move around when they are in danger. When someone is down, they will try to revive and then return to their previous position. They will also pick up powerups (if enabled).
  • Follow: Bots follow the nearest player. They engage zombies freely. If they are too far from the player or the area is clear, they return to him. They also buy doors that are close to them and pick up power-ups (if enabled). In case a bot is blocking a path, the player has to look at it and melee to make it move.

Controls:
  • Visibility of controls are toggled by pressing the buttons displayed in the top left corner.
    (X & SPACE on keyboard by default).

Additional features:
  • Perk limit is increased to 5 on maps that have 4 or less.
  • Max ammo refills currently loaded magazine.
  • Carpenter repairs riot shields.

Known issues and limitations:
  • Since the bots use the same routes that the zombies use, it might happen that they want to go to areas they cannot reach. They will eventually switch to other waypoints.
  • Most of the interactions like buying wall weapons and perks are scripted, because it's hard to get the bots to properly walk up to every interactable object.

To play on split screen:
Originally posted by WarpSpider:
Make sure not to activate splitscreen until in the Zombies lobby and make sure "Player" is first (on top) and "Player1" is below on the player list.

Notes:
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use developer mode!
If you have any problems, just comment in Bugs & Issues section and I will respond to it when I have time.

Thanks to:
  • WarpSpider for the original mod.
  • Symbo, JariK and Scobalula for decompiling every BO3 script.

Have fun!

Hi @UnDead, do you think it would be possible to release updates to this mod that would allow us to perform Easter Eggs with bots from remakes of original maps in Custom Zombies, in addition to the ZC1 maps and the maps from BO3? (Call of the Dead, Der Riese: Declassified, Mob of the Dead, Die Rise, the upcoming TranZit, and Buried)?

I believe it would yield several videos for community content creators. It would be a great contribution to the community. I can already see the title of a YouTube video: "I Performed All Black Ops 3 Easter Eggs with Bots."

@Clapmeister: It would be nearly impossible to get that to work for all the custom maps existing on the workshop

This mod is an amazing bots mod. Can you make the bots have to actually approach machines to use them like in bo4, or is that too complicated or finnicky?

Its beautiful. I always love having bots to play with me in any game. Only issue is with maps like Moon. It can take a while for them to situate themselves onto the teleporter, so I have to melee them to order them to move a bit (tysm for adding that mechanic) and then get them to stay, and then we teleport. Its a mess. But thank you for making my dreams come true!
