* Fixed nav meshes for lost and machina which could get bots stuck
* Improved ladder usage, fixed edge cases where bots could get stuck
* At match start, aliens will attempt to spread chambers out if the first chamber is MC or SC, rather than clustering them all at the starting hive
* Eliminated potential freeze issues with nav mesh refreshes
* AI Commander will now attempt to place turret factories close to any existing turrets to prevent inactive turrets being left behind
* Aliens will not try to pursue enemies who have teleported away (unless they teleported close by)
* Fixed a bug where bots would not target the nearest sentry/OC to engage
* Improved how marines attack OCs, particularly how they take cover to reload
* Fixed issue where commander would build siege turrets too far from the siege target
* Improved commander response to requests for turrets
* Nav reachabilities and paths are now regenerated after all nav mesh modifications are updated
* The auto-fill system for bots now takes mp_limitteams into account, and will continue to add bots to one side if the team size config specifies it to
* Marine bots can now relocate their base to a nearby hive
* If the chance to relocate is above 0 (configurable in nsbots.ini) then the bots will relocate at the start of a match based on the percentage set, or if the current base is overrun and about to be lost
* The bot will recycle the old comm chair
* The bot will abandon the relocation attempt if unsuccessful 90 seconds into a match
* Improved hearing logic
* Improved marine combat decision making (they don't all cluster around the CC for no reason anymore)
* Bots can now hear regen sounds
* Fixed bots getting into a clusterfuck when multiple try to use a lift at the same time.
* Improved nav meshes for various maps
* Added new console commands for debugging to force bots to evolve
* If there is no CC, infantry portal or hives in NS mode, bots will revert to deathmatch behaviour to finish the game
* Fixed bots flying off target when leaping/blinking sometimes
* If there is no armoury to retreat to, marines won't back off and will attack (stops clustering around the CC for no reason).
Bots will no longer see cloaked players, and have a chance based on cloak level, movement and size of the players. Bots will also sneak when approaching enemies while cloaked.
* Improved lerk movement when it is not flying (i.e. being cautious)
* Users can now optionally add botnames.txt to the NS folder to define custom bot names
* Improved jump and blink movement
* Hopefully fixed bug with bots trying to walk between phase gates
* Fixed issue with bots constantly switching weapons when trying to reload
* Added a max AI time for a match, with bots throwing the game if there are no humans and it goes on too long (configurable in nsbots.ini, default is 90 minutes)
* Re-added the view frustum for bots
* Hopefully stopped bots getting permanently stuck trying to evolve an upgrade in an invalid place
* Bots will now leave the game after 2 hours if no humans playing (ignores human spectators)
* Fixed bots targeting mines to attack
* Fixed crash on enabling bots after previously disabling them
* Fixed bots not handling doors correctly when enabling them after match start
* Bot config is no longer case-sensitive
* Listen server hosts now get console notifications on bot status, errors etc.
* Added safeguards around parsing the file to prevent bad values crashing
* Made mp_botautomode default to 1 and mp_botcommandermode default to 1
* Initial bot commit
* Added server commands and cvars for adding AI players to the game.
* Added auto modes for automating the adding and removal of bots
* Bots connect to the server and join teams correctly
* Added round restart and new map detection for AI system
Push before new project added for detour
* Initial bot integration
* Integrated all basic bot code for navigation and task performing
* Added support for multi_managers to better understand how buttons and triggers affect doors
* Improved bot understanding of door triggers and weldables
* Reworked nav profiles
Nav profiles for bots are now dynamically updated to take into account changing capabilities, such as picking up a welder
* Improved bot door usage
* Added weldable obstacles back into navigation
Bots now understand how to get around weldable barriers
* Replaced fixed arrays with vectors
* Resource node and hive lists are now vectors.
* Further improved bot weld behaviour
* Added dynamic reachability calculations
When barriers and doors are open/closed, new reachability calculations are done for structures and items so bots understand when items/structures become reachable or unreachable as the match progresses.
* Added team-based reachability calculations
Reachabilities for structures and items are now based on the team, so bots understand when they can't reach a structure from their spawn point.
* Implemented long-range off-mesh connections and dynamic off-mesh connections
* Implemented fully dynamic off-mesh connections
Phase gates now use connections rather than custom path finding. Much more performant.
* Replaced arrays with vectors for simpler code
* Started Bot Swimming
* Bots understand trigger_changetarget
Bots can now navigate doors operated with a trigger_changetarget so they understand the sequence in which triggers must be activated to make it work
* Push before trying to fix long-range connections
* Implement new off-mesh connection system
* Redid population of door triggers
* Fixed trigger types and links to doors
* Added lift and moving platform support
* Lift improvements
* Bots avoid getting crushed under a lift when summoning it
* Bots are better at judging which stop a platform needs to be at
* Tweak lift and welder usage
* Fixed bug with multiple off-mesh connections close together
* Finish lift movement
* Fixed dodgy path finding
* Improved skulk ladder usage and lerk lift usage
* Fix crash with path finding
