A long idea comment
What a fascinating mod, absolutely love it! I really can't wait to see where you continue to take it. It would be really cool to see more mannerisms in the bots, even so in their current state they're still really fascinating.

This is just throwing some ideas out there if your interested.

Having some bots just follow you randomly would be funny, not killing you just... observing.

Adding chat support? ( No idea if that's too difficult, but it would be hilarious if they talked ♥♥♥♥ in the chat, or if they reacted to each other's chat including player's. For example

"Player": Hey "bot_name" you suck.

"bot_name": 1v1 me "Player" or your mom's fat.

Then the bot would want to kill that player specifically if ever encountered.
or even something like a death message. An example is:
The player kills "bot_name"

"bot_name": RDM RDM RDM RDM RDM! I NEEED AN ADMIN!)

Bot followers?? You could "befriend" a bot using chat in some joke way, or some other system like crouching in front of them a lot. They could then follow you, similar to the "Followers Mod" on the workshop. But a little more chaotic of course.

It sounds like your apposed to "classes" which is understandable, but it would be interesting if you added some "types" of bots. So I hope you don't throw away that idea entirely, since it would be really fun to see some different types like, rdmers, admins (they just noclip around and "ban" other bots or steal them away with their physgun), friendlies, shy bots that run away when you get close, etc. So nothing cemented but more mannerisms is always interesting.

END

These are just ideas so don't feel pressured or obliged to do them, I'm only throwing them out there since this is a really really impressive mod with a lot of potential. I would love to see where it goes, and how curious and chaotic the bots get with their mannerisms. Absolutely adore the mod, best of luck to you! Also thanks if you read my thing this far!

(I'm same guy different account) I would also like to say it's really funny and sad that a lot of the comments are talking about "Finally! I have friends!"... I'm not saying i'm exempt from that audience but it is still cute all the same.
I really wish there was a better "server" community for gmod, all of them are kinda ♥♥♥♥. All the rp one's especially. It's such a fun and creative game, but it get's taken advantage of by ♥♥♥♥♥♥ admins and not funny rdmers. Idk hopefully we'll all find a group of idiot friends to play it with on day. I know I used to...:lunar2019piginablanket:

Regarding the ideas, all of it is possible and isn't that hard. Though I don't think having them text in chat would fit. But I will pick out what works.

And yes regarding the server type stuff. Power hungry admins and garbage owners all very common which is unfortunate. No one can take a joke either.

I know right? Like I love being a shtlord rper but then I join a server filled with monobrained tax paying losers who think "money number go up gud" and don't even rp. I'm not even going to get started on the tacticool mili-sim schmucks.

Also regarding the chat, that's fair. But would you be kosher with addons to your mod in the future? Not guaranteeing anything on my part since I have adhd that tap dances around the seven circles of hell. But it is good to know. I'm really fascinated with this mod and I'm REALLY tempted into modding gmod sandbox to be something bigger then it is but haven't had the ability or time as my aforementioned adhd is absurd.

I also ask about the "addons" to your mod since I think it's just good information to have in general if anyone else is interested in expanding it in the future.

They wouldn't be addons basically but the idea can be making dedicated Zeta bots to other game modes like prop hunt. Some one already attempted which those bots are called LeadBots but they were left in the dust. Gonna be a lot of decisions upon if I dare to tread that ground
