Battlefield 1 Bot Mod

What is this mod?

BF1BotMod is a mod(or addon?) which include the bots in the original BF1

The main code will be written with C++ and the AI part will be implement with Python since Python can support many powerful features like Machine learning.

What are you planning to do?

Since the currently I don't find a way to add the native UI into the original Bf1, so what I think is to add a Console by ImGui into the BF1 just like the Counter-Strike, so you can start the map from the console (like you type something like `bf1_start_new_map`)

After that, you will see a new window which include many settings like maps, and bots number you can add, and when you click the "start" button, you can start your own offline mode with bots and then enjoy your gameplay with bots (just like the counter-strike)

Another option is that you can start a map without any bots, but after you enter map, you can still use console to add bots yourself like "bf1_bot_add"

As for AI, my idea is that adding a very simple ai for the beginning, like choose random weapon and spawn, take points and shoot the enemies, after that I consider to use Neural Networks and Machine Learning to make it more intelligent

Sounds great! When will you finish that?

Well, this is very hard to answer since I need to do a large number of reverse engineer to see how bf1 add players and start maps and etc, so the development maybe very long, very very long

So if someone can help me with the reverse engineer for bf1, it will be more quickly

I have setup a github repo so that you can watch the development progress: Github.com

and there is also a discord channels for discussing this mod: Discord.gg

If possible, I hope it can be released in 2024 Q2, otherwise will be released in 2025 or 2026
