So on teams my buddies don't attack me anymore (but Trandos have Commando pain/death voices) but nothing much else has changed...

Or maybe I'm missing something? I implemented the changes proposed in the two comments above and I still have the same issues... bots camp until you move into their line of sight THEN they run at you and fire like demons (their melee attacks always seem to miss).

I think I played around with their sight values and that was the best I could do to make them seem more human like (standing stock still until you move in front of them is pretty unrealistic, like they really CAN'T see a thing in those helmets!).

Anybody else have any suggestions?

Fantastic detective work, wolfie and Guest! I admit I haven't checked on this in awhile and I was pleased to see someone had a suggested improvement. I would love to check this out myself and I'm sure others will to, especially since it's so easy to do with the mod.ini file.

" i was able to troubleshoot the team deathmatch bot not leaving spawn issue kinda it's a simple fix all I did was go in the mod.ini file and I changed the BotUnits 8 to 21 and now the ai on both teams walk around and fight in team death match I hope this helps anyone else here also thxs for uploading this ai mod it's amazing cuz like trying to find matches now a days in 2021 is like impossible ngl. This fix isn't perfect and it works well with some maps however it will be chaotic of course lol i mean it will for the most part feel like a real war anyways i hope some day you are able to make the ai work for tdm I know there are limitations when it comes to ai bots but would be cool to see in a future update. Maybe some other moder can make that functionality work so far though great mod. Just know that not all maps work perfectly in tdm with bots right now so far the only maps that currently work with 21 bots is arena A17 arena G9 gunship kachirho and lock down kinda. For the rest of the maps the ai on both teams stay in their spawn. I hope that one day this mod can support tdm correctly with ai walking around " ...
"the fix is pretty simple . I did some fiddling around, and in the mod.ini I changed every single IPPolicies_mod[#]= to equal "ACCEPT,*" (Beforehand, we tried playing together before I changed each one of those but I could never join my friends match he had hosted. once I changed all of these it worked). I then used a program like Hamachi to create a LAN network from a distance with a friend and we were able to play together in a LAN match with bots in the game on multiplayer. Both of us had the mod installed, but our mod.ini files were not the same, whatever the host adjusts his to is what the match will use. So the maps must be installed for all users trying to play, but the mod.ini doesnt have to be the same. And all users will have admin privileges to add or remove bots.
I hope this helps for anyone that sees this now. "...

again, thanks for the effort!

Go to your Republic Commando's "GameData/System/" folder and find the file called "mod.ini"

These are the lines to edit & save:

[NCC.BotSupport]
BotUnits=6
AIAccuracy=0.7
AIAutoDetectRadius=2048

Obviously bot units are the # of starting bots for each map, the accuracy is self explanatory and the last option I am playing with to see if it improves the Bot usage. Originally it was 1024. With 2048, they have the ability to see much better, but occasionally bots will try to run into walls because they can see someone off in the distance. Further experimentation is needed...

Reporting more issues:

Team Deathmatch doesn't work properly:
-Bots from your team will attack you
-Friendly fire setting of server doesn't apply to bots

Please note that this mod is un-tested in online play. If anyone gets it working with 2 or more people, please comment!
