* 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
* Bots no longer get perma-stuck when standing on the drill in Ragnarok (or similar situations in other maps)
* Fixed fades getting glued to the ceiling when trying to blink into a vent
* Fixed bots getting stuck on top of railings sometimes
* Fixed bots sometimes deciding to evolve in the ready room on certain maps
* Updated nav mesh for eclipse
* 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
* 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
* Re-implement commander AI
* Commander improvements
* Improve commander sieging
* Commander scanning tweak
* Reimplemented regular marine AI
* Start reimplementing alien AI
* Implement gorge building behaviours
* Start alien tactical decisioning
* Continuing alien building and other non-combat logic
* More alien role work
* Adjusted base node definitions
* Iterate Capper Logic
* Alien assault AI
* Alien Combat
* Fix grenade throwing, better combat
* Marine combat AI improvements
