Is that why it doesnt work, because it was unsanctioned? What bullshit.

@Someguyinhere this is what I have been doing for 10 years now. But always with zero result: as long as there are toxic antisocial troll who ridicule any request to fix bots, Fatshark will do nothing.

Quit complaining here and spam Fatshark's official lines of communication. Do not stop. Let them know this is unacceptable, PERIOD.

Fatshark has no time to work on their games: they are either on vacation or playing with their dogs. They don't care about living people.
So if nothing changes soon, I just will write negative reviews for all their products.

@[Fatshark] Lev why not implement the parts of this mod that are functioning into the base game? It's been literally years and the vanilla bots are still awful. This mod was the one thing that made solo play actually enjoyable at higher difficulties, and de-sanctioning it for issues that don't give an advantage in gameplay is ridiculous. If those issues are such a problem then they could at least just have a disclaimer about them.

Instead y'all continue to rely on unpaid modders to fix the bots, while also refusing to re-sanction mods unless those unpaid modders put in more unpaid work, when the mod should have been incorporated into the base game years ago.

And even if they DID put in the work you're asking for y'all have a terrible track record of never getting around to sanctioning mods. There's currently 96 mods waiting for approval or denial of sanction status, and only 31 approved and 5 denied.

Do you need more proof that Fatshark considers solo players to be «Untermenschen» , a second-class citizen?
Because anyone's whims are satisfied quickly, but solo players' requests are never.
Like with the Zealot's healing: Fatshark forbade bots from healing Zealot EVER, without thinking about how it would harm the soloplay.

Pretty much explains all devs today. Lazy... One person outperforms an entire studio lol

As usual the devs are a bunch of useless clowns.

Honestly I (and probably heaps of other ppl) would be fine with a gimped version of this mod existing just so fatshark sanctions it. Frankly just #7 as a separate mod would be a weight off my shoulders.
I've died too many bloody times to a cretin bot standing over me bleeding out and not reviving bcs "ohhh nooooo there's rats! I will now proceed to block and do absolutely nothing else!"

This essential mod was out for, how long? 7 years? And fatshark only now "reviewed" it? Mod maker literaly did their job and they now making demands "If the mod author can implement these fixes, then we can certainly look at ...". Such arogance from good-for-nothing developers.

Thoughts on just...I don't know...implementing these changes into the core bots in the game @[Fatshark] Lev? Sort of like when your crew integrated a ton of sanctioned mods into the game and took all the weapon balance changes the community had done? https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/pc-big-balance-beta-available-now/40115/2

Just to update here, we've reviewed the mod code and looked at the possibility of resanctioning.

There are some current blockers to this, which the original mod author Grimalackt would need to look at fixing.

These are:
1. Bots not heavy attacking (a presumption from looking at the code) is a blocker for resanctioning. Either rip out better_melee or fix that part of the code
2. Fix the revive range being reduced (Currently the mod says ally_distance < 1.5 while unmodded has ally_distance <= BOT_INTERACT_DIST where BOT_INTERACT_DIST is 2.4

If the mod author can implement these fixes, then we can certainly look at getting this mod sanctioned again.

stupid developers, instead of fixing the game and them, turn off support for mods that FIX their bots, making it impossible to play in the official world.

It is so sad how fixing and updating your mod made it unsanctioned SUCH FUCKING BULLSHIT

RiP i come back to this game after a few years and find the greatest mod ever made is dead T_T

Please bring this mod back alive! This mod is essential!!!

Want this to be sanctioned again. the new "improved" official bot AI released in the latest patch is fucking shit

This mod has become unsanctioned :(
Is there any plans to get it sanctioned again?
Or include this bot logic in the base game?

Dead

I'll miss this mod, the current state of bots are terrible. They either get stuck chasing 1 rat halfway across the map whilst I'm stuck with an assassin rat on top of me. The bot pathing feels like I'm pulling 3 of them on a leash whilst this mod makes them more spread out covering more ground and moving with me.

Thanks for the your time and work on this mod.

With the Anti-Cheat update it looks like it's completely dead now. And there's no exploit left to use it in Official Realm anymore.
If anyone sees this post, please ask Fatshark to sanction Replicant Bots v2.0 - Different Bots Experimental Branch instead.

Last updated 2023... I guess OP forgot this mod huh?

Unfortunately bots are just broken forever now. They have known bugs like bounty hunter getting stuck with his ult out forever until something hits him (which is usually fatal). Those have to be fixed by fatshark themselves and they probably never will

for me is working with no problems..the only think is that in champion fight prety well..but in legend is few week and die easyly... i hope to make it better for the legend level if is possible..!!

bots got stuck on act 1 part 2, stuck on pathfinding getting into the hole below the corpse trail, and i died to an assassin, fuck this game and this broken mod

Mod makes bots DUMBER not smarter. DO NOT DOWNLOAD, IT IS BROKEN

Mod isn't working at all anymore. Bots are in the absolute worst state I've ever seen them in 5 years. Solo Cata is completely unviable at this point unless you can consistently true solo it.

Last update was from almost a year ago. Is the mod still supported? Absolutely dying to try it out
.

When

thats the way it is team

we need this mod pls :c

Seems like not wurking.
P.S. tryed auto-disable unsactioned mods and enter lobby - has "Timed sign-out" message and game exit's.

Is mod propperly working?

why the fuck this is not part of the game? ffs

I wish we had one of this for Darktide.
We already have two mod: one allows you to actually do solo with bots and the other allows you to use your other characters as replacement for Fatshark default bots.
All we need is Bot Improvements - Combat for Darktide.

update please :(

updateee

Please update, I want my bots to be good again :(

fix the mod pls

is it just me or is there no way to stop bots healing zealot now?

The most important information from Hotfix 5.5.2 - 30th of May - Patchnotes : "Implemented a way to patch sanctioned mods until they are updated by the owner. This should increase the lifespan of sanctioned mods, most importantly abandoned ones".
@Grimalackt — please see this and fix your mod that we all need so much!

What fatshark intern do I need to molly whop with a one-handed hammer to get this back in sanctioned? Miss my bot competency for solo farming and couples' night with the bf

@Stellar Bro Doesn't matter how many "skill issue" comments you make, dude. He's not coming back with the milk.

Oh wow I just learned about the workaround to have this in the official realm! Enable it in your mod list in the launcher, and also check "disable all un-sanctioned mods in official realm" in bottom left of that window. Then you'll see the mod options in the official realm.

Goddamn the amount of wimps in here whining about people wanting more competent AI as if thats some kind of skill issue.

Sorry I don't like AI wasting medical items on me at half health or getting stuck on a little piece of terrain or running after a target and dying.
Clearly a skill issue on my part lmfao
Let me just control the BOT real quick.

I truly hope none of you ever make a video game lmfao

the mod is now unsanctioned. :(

Someone has really low standards, holy cow

Bunch of invalids unable to handle fairly competent AI. Need more crutches to babysit you through the game

That's especially true these days because the vast majority of people skilled enough to play cata comfortably are doing modded deathwish onslaught or just moved on to other games.

They play better than the average Cataclysm player.
