[Mutator] KF Bots

[Marco]

I created my own serverside/offline bots mutator; they are still pretty dumb but they can beat the game on beginner difficulty.

These bots support:
- Always start with a perk on a specific level (user setting).
- Simple user defined value for number of bots (they will not take up server player slots).
- Bots prefer to use perk specific weapons.
- They use trader whenever they feel like it.
- They know how to use speech chat properly (insulting/directions).
- They attempt to heal themself whenever needed (or other players/bots).
- They try to retreat back off from monsters that pose a threat.
- They have basic knowledge how to heal players with Medic Gun.
- They share cash with other players.

But still they have some problems:
- They stand too much still letting themselves get surrounded by mobs.
- Sometimes they retreat off from some zombies into an even bigger group of zombies.
- They don't know how to handle welded doors.
- And sometimes when they try to melee Crawlers they aim too high and miss their target all the time.

Useage:
- Place both KFBots.u and KFBots.ucl in ...\KillingFloor\System folder.
- Startup game with mutator called "Bots Mutator".
Or for server startup commandline add: ?Mutator=KFBots.KFBotsMut
(And no, you do NOT add this mutator to ServerPackages for servers).

In game: You can access the mutator settings by adding mutator to active mutators, then press "Mutator Settings" button.
Webadmin: While mutator is active, this mutator settings appear under "Rules" group.

Update:
v 1.3:
- Made bots support orders given from Use key, they will follow/hold/freelance from that.
- Fixed some of their taunts to work properly.
v 1.2:
- Added bot support for Katana and MAC-10.
- Made so bots share their money with each other and other players.
- Added so bots understand chat command "Follow" ("Say Follow").
- Added so bots purchase armor from trader whenever they can.
- Changed so bots go more to trader (rather than running around in the map).
- Added so you can change what perks bots may be using (list in KFBots.ini)
- Added so bots use some more voice commands.
v 1.1:
- Fixed a crash that could sometimes happen with the AI.
- Added so bots know how to use medic gun healing.
- Fixed some minor AI problems.

PS: Don't think these bots will do all the dirty work for you in game, they are merely just to accompany you in a lonely game.

Good job

Great. Gonna have some fun with them . Good that they are smarter than the older ones.

I'm downloading this and I'm gonna make one of our clan guys put it on his listen server >:3

Well, I guess the clan and I are gonna have a game on KF-Rats with 100 bots. (Special thanks to Falidell for making the map )

Congratulations. These bots are much better than the ones available so far. If you heal them constantly they're even able to survive a wave. Commando's are especially useful.

It would be a dream if they obeyed player commands (hold the spot, follow, go to trader, healing...)

Still, if a bot happens to be a demo, he's not going to do any good - they usually place pipeboms under feet and stay there allowing zeds to surround them, which results in a loud suicide. Also, they tend to kill single crawlers with grenade.

After testing this out with 20 bots on hard deathbasin with lv6 perks, I have to say that these bots are smarter than a considerable number of players I've seen.

Anyone fancy a bet on how long before someone asks for this to be whitelisted?

[C_Gibby]

Can we whitelist this?

Add Kfbots mutator then select it and push "Configure mutator"(or something like that) button below. Then u can change bots number.

Thx, work, some bad bugs:
Can't buy weapon in the Trader.
Can't close fight. (only stand, crouch)
1 shot 1 kill, only headshot.
Reduced maxdistance.

Not true, I've seen the bots with weapons you have to buy at the trader. I.e. the SCAR, M14 and AA12.

Thing is, they never enter the shop because there's no path nodes leading into it. So with a hack they shop outside the actual trader room.

This is awesome - A great way to play those rare maps that never get played.

[Mual]

Thank you man.
I've playing with this mod.
Is fun

This is a blessing indeed. Imagine if they actually needed to enter the trader, they would be worse than a pack of griefers in terms of blocking your way.

Not really. I played Lila panic v3 with 5 bots and they didn't go very often to the shop. Looks like they were running around the map looking for supplies. And sometimes they were going to the shop.

[botskiller16]

Nice update, the bots why not buy body armor? (easy to kill the zombies, them)

[gamemann]

thx this really works and its cool how you can make them lvl 6 and i think their smart well not to smart but they get the job done!
