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

And I'm a zealot player as well

please updated it hum
I prefer solo when I'm a bit tired with the joyful but tense team playing.
These times I would play on my own pace with bots in relax.
So this mod is surely a must in offical realm.
THANK YOU AND PLZ MY SUPERHERO

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.

Unsanctioned again. Fatshark really hates this amazing mod for some reason
For the love of Sigmar all i want is the stupid bots not healing my zealot.

@8080 Bots did all those things even before the 6-year anniversary update . The mod isn’t perfect and some of its features might not work in certain situations. Bots have always had an ‘instinct’ to chase after specials with melee weapons, and not using ranged weapons on them. The ‘Improved Active Ability Usage’ feature only works on the following bots : Ironbreaker, Mercenary, Huntsman, Handmaiden, Shade, Which Hunter Captain, and Unchained.

After 6 year anniversary update, mod not working. Bot still chase specials, focus bosses, spam active ability, use healing randomly.

*Activating the mod then checking the box for ''Auto-disable unsanctioned mods for the official realm'' in the bottom left corner*

By the Ancestors! This works!
Thank you Folken for the info.

ty Folken, i did what you said and it worked!

Update: Activating the mod then checking the box for ''Auto-disable unsanctioned mods for the official realm'' in the bottom left corner in the mod list actually worked for me!
