Still not sanctioned... FS is sleeping.

Manual modes keybinds dont work for me. And yes, i was in modded realm.
Tried rebinding to several keys, nothing.
Tried moving it upwards in mod loader, nothing.
For reference, another mod with custom keybinds also had the same problem for me.
BUT the bots did stop using healing wares at all when in manual mode.

why has this not been approved

APPROOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!

Needs to be approved

LOVED it in V1.. nice to see it here.. wait.. not approved yet? Is there a virus going on??

i wonder why this hasnt been sanctioned yet. this should have been integrated into the sanctioned bot improvement mod

how lazy are crapshark ??? sanction a mod must be realy hard..?! they should be happy about guys like you who help the incompetent dev's making the game better with more qol...

@Smokey Joe: I haven't tested this with recent versions of the game, so the chances are it got broken at some point by an update to the game. In particular, if you're on the beta branch I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work.

I probably won't try to fix it unless there's a reasonable chance it will get sanctioned, and I don't that's likely for the foreseeable future.

this isn't working at all for me , is there something I'm missing ? I've enabled it via the mod options in game and nothing seems to work, ! I tried rebinding the keys and still nothing happens, does HP need to be below a certain threshold before they will heal themselves ( or me )

Agreed with Jacmac; I use numpad for normal play, being left-handed.

Definitely make the key assignments modifiable since I use the entire numpad already. Not everyone is right handed. ;)

Needs to be approved!

yep this one needs to be aproved fast !

ROBIN ADD THIS ONE THX

is there any fix for the poor bot behaviour that they run after specials really far away? last game i got hoisted by a packmaster, no enemies around me.But instead of reviving me, all 3 passed and ran after the packmaster til it was too late for me.

will this get sanctioned soon?

@ pixaal: there's no overlap with Grimalackt's mod that I'm aware of in terms of the code, although conceptually you could use forced healing as way to make bots pick up tomes. (It's not really satisfactory by itself though because part of the problem is bots swapping tomes for healing when you're not looking.) I haven't chatted with him about it - I only joined the discord a few days ago.

I like your ideas, but I'm not planning on spending more time on this until we know whether bot mods are going to be sanctioned. If you want to work on it yourself, you can find the source code here: https://github.com/Squatting-Bear/vermintide-mods .

Also:

* Use numpad 4-6 to instruct bots to drink their potions - would be useful if all player characters have grims, then at least all potions can be put to some use, especially if you equip them with proxy.
* Use numpad 7-9 to throw bombs at the nearest high-power enemy. Probably better if they just pass the bomb to the player, but meh, why not. Could be useful for pushing bosses off ledges quickly.
* Alternatively, use 7-9 to activate their ults manually.

Nice! There aren't many players in my area so this will help a lot! I bet there's a bit of overlap with Grim's Item Handling mod, have you chatted with him on the discord [discord.gg]? I'd be keen to contribute too if the source is available.

Some more ideas, mostly reliant on knowing what traits the bots have - not sure if that's possible but your Player List Plus mod suggests that it is:

* Bots that have Hand of Shalia should prioritise picking up medpacks over draughts, and then (when on auto) heal someone else instead of themself unless their health is very low, and the other character's health is already high.
* Bots with Natural Bond should be last to pick up healing, and then actually pass it on to someone else when they need it instead of holding on to it for eternity and refusing to take tomes

@SchimmelHut48: That's a good idea, I was thinking along the lines of giving commands to individual bots but a command for the whole group is much simpler.

Man I hope this gets approved soon. I couldn't play without the original bot improvements mod and it looks like this will be the same way.

i had something like a combination of the waypoint mod and siennas staff, the one with the areal rmb attack, in mind.
so you could put this circle (just like sienna would use the attack) were you want the bots to be and they would go there and stay in this circle while fighting everything in reach.
somehow this sounds logical to me but i don´t know anything about modding so maybe i am dead wrong. :D

@SchimmelHut48: Anything is possible, but that would be quite a lot of work. I think it would be hard to create an interface that is flexible enough to be useful, but simple enough to use in the heat of battle.

thanks for doing stuff fatshark should do...
they should pay you for beeing the Fattest Shark in the tank! :)

btw. do you think there is a way to give bots commands someday? just something simple like
"go there and stay/defend there untill i call you back" i started to play Solo on legend but i am to bad so i have to solo with bots, some small commands would be so sick, i could hold one side if i knew the bots will stay on the other side.^^
and no i don´t hope you could build such an mod, i am just curious if it could work at all.

Awesome work! Please submit for sanctioning if you haven't already! :)

This should be in the core off the game.
