* Hopefully fixed rare crash in the Detour library
* Improved bot retreat thought process
* Fixed potential bot stuck when trying to evolve
* Aliens will now also see and track enemies marked by OC / scent of fear
* Updated some nav meshes
* 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
* Commanders now think in terms of establishing and building bases rather than placing individual structures. Should help reduce duplication of structures, selling structures unnecessarily etc.
* Incomplete implementation: not currently used but will be once finished
* 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
* Commander no longer sends reminders once an order is issued
* Fixed an issue where marines would loiter and refuse to move on once securing a hive
* Improved wall climbing: bots handle varied wall angles better
* Aliens will now gang up to attack the marine base
* Aliens will spread out more when attacking in a group, rather than all going for the same buildings
* Potentially fixed issue causing invalid paths
* Fixed issue where gorges wouldn't heal anyone while focused on capping res node or building defensive structures
* Fixed some nav meshes so Onos can navigate better, and avoid bad structure placement
* Improved bot movement when not using the nav mesh (i.e. direct movement)
* Fixed player-built structures being duplicated if a commander takes over (i.e. AI commander ignoring player-placed structures and acting like they don't exist)
* Fixed marines just loitering in enemy hives doing nothing
* Fixed gorges sometimes not fully building structures and just leaving them to slowly grow
* Fixed bots getting stuck on top of railings sometimes. Also hopefully fixed issues with bots aborting wall climbs for no reason.
* Fixed issue with duplicate base structures being dropped
* Fixed an issue where marines would become listless if the aliens had 3 hives up and they didn't have phase tech researched. They should continue to attack regardless
* Fixed issue where gorges would go nuts when trying to build defensive structures in an empty hive
* Aliens should be much more focused on evolving into fade/onos, including ignoring a hive under attack to first evolve so they can defend more effectively
* Improved the bot guard behaviour
* Improved randomisation of bot names and chamber sequences
* Fixed bug where bots would drop hives within range of siege bases
* Fixed bug where requesting turret factories and sentry turrets from the AI commander would place a phase gate instead
* 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)
* 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
