Better Bots

Current Version: Release v1.2
(Local installation's version can be checked via console at mission start by every player)

This is a script activated via Challenges that aims to improve AI Marines and provide a less frustrating gameplay experience when playing with bots.

There are obviously many limitations to what merely a script can do, so do not expect complete overhauls of bot behaviors.

- Bots now keep a much tighter formation with their leaders.
- Bots now hack faster than their default speed.
- Bots that can hack will now automatically proceed to start hacking (toggleable).
- Bots are now immune to Incendiary Mines and Gas Grenades to avoid unnecessary friendly fire.
- Bots that have Grenade Launcher equipped with another weapon that is not a Grenade Launcher will now try to switch in-between the two weapons in response to appropriate situations.
- Bots will now drop Electric Armor if they have any equipped for infested marines that are controlled by players.
- Bots will now respond to infestation by activating their Electric Armor if they have any equipped (toggleable).
- Bots that do not have Electric Armor equipped will now use dropped Electric Armor in response to infestation (toggleable).
- Bots share Electric Armor with other bots in response to infestation (toggleable).
- Bots will now try to save themselves from trouble using Electric Armor or Freeze Grenades if they have any equipped (toggleable).
- Tesla Cannons used by bots no longer burn ammo as fast.
