Описание
v1.5.4 - They're comin' out of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ walls!


Bishop - Bot Mod
Bishop is a series of large and small tweaks to bots that attempt to increase the challenge they provide to players.

Not all maps support vents yet, I will remove this message when that changes.

Bishop now has a UI. You an access it by:
a) Typing !bishop in chat.
b) Running bishop_menu in the console.
c) Binding a key to open the menu, i.e.:
bind P bishop_menu

Highlights
  • UI and automated bot management.
  • Skulk vent support.
  • Strategically placed temporary phase gates and tunnels.
  • Alien pack mentalities.
  • Marine fireteams.
  • Dynamic alien retreating.
  • Late-game med spam.
  • Complete Gorge rework.
  • Movement improvements.
  • Dozens of minor tweaks and bugfixes.

Coming Soon
Check out my feature wishlist.

Installation and Usage
1) Subscribe
Please also subscribe to Bot_Maintenance, this mod wouldn't have been created without it.
Dedicated server users can skip this step.

2) Enable
Launch the game, go to the mods menu and enable the mod. Remember to click Restart instead of Back.
Dedicated server users can skip this step.

If you're running a dedicated server, the required mod IDs are:
117887554, 3397710344, 3023063995
If you prefer enabling mods the old school way by hex ID:
706d242, ca84f208, b4304bbb

3) Jump In
Launch a local game (or join your dedicated server.)
Try to open the Bishop UI to confirm it's working. (Steps at top.)

4) Play
Choose your desired settings - changes are saved immediately.
The config for Bishop is saved in %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\shine\plugins\Bishop.json.
The path is very similar for dedicated servers, but starts from the config folder.

With management enabled, Bishop will do its best to maintain your chosen settings.
If you choose to disable management, addbot and all the vanilla bot commands work as normal.
Be careful fiddling with these settings mid-round or you may abruptly end your game.

On dedicated servers, your SteamID needs either global access to all commands (an empty blacklist), or permission to use the "bishop_set" command.
Here is the relevant Shine documentation page for changing user permissions[github.com].

I will add an option to disable all bot text chat in the next update.

Hello, I hope you doing well. since NS2 does not have text chat off options, how could I turn off the bot chats "OO Spotted!" text chat? I am now gave up the actual playing but enjoying spectate bot vs bot with perspective of marine commander and NS2 chat refresh sound somehow playing so often. thank you, have a nice day.

WOW!!! What an update! After my short test, I'm thrilled with what you've conjured up again. Your Skulk Vent demonstration is impressive. You're a master of your craft. To me, this is true art. I hope you manage to get all your bots to use the vents correctly, and if possible, the entire map. We can probably be very optimistic about the bot's future as long as you keep at it! :steamhappy:

@The Viral Divinity - I've put at least 100 extra hours into the game using the mod, its extremely fun to play with a few mates or solo on any map (including custom ones). It's a very well crafted mod and worth playing to get the best available natural selection 2 experience without playing online considering alot of servers in different regions are empty

This mod is absolute perfection. I just grabbed NS 2 and tested the basegame bots, the match was alright I guess (I don't know anything much about the game). Then I just tested your mod to see and WOW, the match is a lot more hectic and it seems the AI do more tactical decisions. Aside from that, I can spectate freely and add a whole lot more bots to each team, which makes the fighting a lot more intense. Absolute banger :steamthis:

Wait.. so does this mod make singleplayer actually possible?

@delnaxsis: I can only agree. It is fortunate for bot players that such a person takes on this difficult and complex task.

truly a fantastic mod, fixes a ton of vanilla bugs and oversights from the original AI that i'm guessing the devs never had the time or priority to fix.The additions that are coming are truly game changing for those of us that come back to this great game from time to time to have some quick games with mates. Looking foward to the sentry gun and fade reworks being released which i've had the privileged to test. Special thanks to Predator for his bot maintenance mod as without his mod i don't think bhaz would have been motivated to start in the first place, but the future of the BOT AI for ns2 rests in great hands with bhaz (dude is a very smart and talented guy)

If you ever get AI voice comms feasible but have it as set lines, I wouldn't mind volunteering to voice for all of that.
