Avatar Joshua-Boo-Boos3669118089Joshua-Boo-Boos Double-Barrel Shotgun Pistol (DBSP) - NS2.0-EN VersionThe Brazier Industries Double-Barrel Shotgun Pistol.

A sidearm favoured by Frontiersmen personnel who require extra firepower in close quarters combat but would prefer not to wield the heavy shotgun.

A marine fighting against the alien threat once said: "I like to keep this handy... For close encounters".

Provides three cartridge types:

Standard -> 10 pellets, 10 damage per pellet -> 100 damage maximum at Weapons 3
Slug -> 1 pellet, 70 damage per pellet -> 70 damage maximum at Weapons 3

Damage falloff is applied in the following fashion:

Damage * (1 - (((target:GetOrigin() - player:GetOrigin()):GetLength()/Range) ^ Falloff Applied))

Falloff Applied is 0 or 1 based on whether damage falloff should be applied or not and the range is set to 50 (equal to the Submachinegun).

Accuracy goes from:
Standard -> Inaccurate
Slug -> Accurate

Standard has spread vectors generated in a random fashion with high spread randomisation values respectively.

Use your secondary attack button to change cartridge types (see the cartridge name change on the DBSP's display) if you have Weapons 2 or 3.

Two shots per magazine.

Where is that Skulk hiding?

This version is designed for use with NS2.0-EN.		No62.566 MiBFeb 19, 202619-02-2026 17:06:22

Avatar Bhaz3397710344Bishop - Bot Modv1.5.8 - They're comin' out of the goddamn walls!

Bishop - Bot Mod


Bishop is an overhaul to bots that attempts to increase the challenge they provide to players. It also serves as an attempt to preserve this dying title's longevity.

Not all maps support vents yet, I will remove this message when that changes.

Bishop now has a UI. You an access it by:
a) Typing !bishop in chat.
b) Running bishop_menu in the console.
c) Binding a key to open the menu, i.e.:
bind P bishop_menu

Highlights


  • UI and automated bot management.
  • Skulk vent support.
  • Strategically placed temporary phase gates and tunnels.
  • Alien pack mentalities.
  • Marine fireteams.
  • Dynamic alien retreating.
  • Late-game med spam.
  • Complete Gorge rework.
  • Movement improvements.
  • Dozens of minor tweaks and bugfixes.


Coming Soon

Installation and Usage


1) Subscribe

Please also subscribe to Bot_Maintenance, this mod wouldn't have been created without it.
Dedicated server users can skip this step.

2) Enable

Launch the game, go to the mods menu and enable the mod. Remember to click Restart instead of Back.
Dedicated server users can skip this step.

If you're running a dedicated server, the required mod IDs are:
117887554, 3397710344, 3023063995
If you prefer enabling mods the old school way by hex ID:
706d242, ca84f208, b4304bbb

3) Jump In

Launch a local game (or join your dedicated server.)
Try to open the Bishop UI to confirm it's working. (Steps at top.)

4) Play

Choose your desired settings - changes are saved immediately.
The config for Bishop is saved in %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\shine\plugins\Bishop.json.
The path is very similar for dedicated servers, but starts from the config folder.

With management enabled, Bishop will do its best to maintain your chosen settings.
If you choose to disable management, addbot and all the vanilla bot commands work as normal.
Be careful fiddling with these settings mid-round or you may abruptly end your game.

On dedicated servers, your SteamID needs either global access to all commands (an empty blacklist), or permission to use the "bishop_set" command.
Here is the relevant Shine documentation page for changing user permissions.

Avatar Joshua-Boo-Boos3651692275Joshua-Boo-Boos Give Res ModIncludes a GUI openable by using the command !giveres in all chat, sh_giveres in the console and a key settable via one's Mods menu.

Open the GUI and then as a:

Marine:

Click an entry representing a player with a green background and click Give Res to give 5 p-res using a 1:1 ratio and put the recipient marine on cooldown for 30 seconds.

Click Give Commander Res when the button has a green background to convert 20 p-res to 4 t-res and put the team on cooldown for 30 seconds.

and Aliens:

The same process applies for giving p-res to other players.

Aliens cannot give p-res for t-res.

Requires Shine to work.

The values can all be controlled via !grconfig or sh_grconfig by Shine admins (players with sh_adminmenu permission in the UserConfig.json file).		No52.885 KiBJan 22, 202613-02-2026 05:15:04

Avatar Predator3023063995Bot_Maintenance🤖 NS2 Bot Maintenance – Enhanced Bot AI & Commander Overhaul

The original NS2 bot system was abandoned by the developers in build 344 — so I give my best to make it better.
This mod massively improves Marine and Alien bot behavior, Commander logic, combat performance, and overall game flow.

Below is a list of some improvements, fixes, and known issues. For more details check the Changelog.

🟦 MARINE BOT IMPROVEMENTS
Smarter Combat Behavior

Marines fight more intelligently and react faster in close‑quarters combat.

Marines use all available weapons, not just the shotgun.

Marines switch weapons correctly (e.g., no flamethrower/shotgun spam out of range; they switch to pistol).

Better Objective Handling

Marines conquer safe Techpoints more reliably.

Marines defend and capture RT points more effectively, including better handling of cysts.

Marines can pick up any weapon from any map position, without restrictions.

Marines pick up all Commander‑dropped supplies.

Marines place more mines in bases for defense.

💥 Grenades & Equipment

Marines can buy and use all grenade types.

Marines can pick up and use all dropped equipment (Welder, Mines, Ammo, etc.).

🟦 MARINE COMMANDER IMPROVEMENTS
🎒 Weapon & Equipment Drops

Marine Commander drops all weapon types with check of economy etc...

Drops require sufficient space.

Commander has a resource‑aware drop system:

Saves resources for RTs, Beacon, support, and structures.

🏗 Base Construction

Commander can build 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and even 5th bases without the old build bugs.

MACs and ARCs no longer cause construction failures when you kick the Commbot.

Commander can build Phasegate + Armory on double RT locations.

📡 Tactical Abilities

Commander uses scans in multiple situations.

Commander can fully command the team (recommended: at least 6 Marines).

🟩 ALIEN BOT IMPROVEMENTS
👽 Alien Commander

Builds early defensive structures at the start of the match.

Correctly researches Biomass 1–12 for every destroyed and rebuilt Hive.

Can build Tunnels at double RT and Shades to hide structures.

Can rebuilt all important Structures.

🧬 Alien Lifeforms

Skulk, Gorge, and Lerk now attack Power Nodes.

Aliens fight more intelligently overall.

Gorge can use all attack abilities.

Gorge detects structure damage and prioritizes Hive healing.

Fade attack ARCs and Structures.

Skulk and Lerk will camp and try to become a bit more unpredictable.

💬 TEAM COMMUNICATION

Both Marine and Alien bots send team messages about enemy sightings:

What enemy they see

Where they see it

Messages are throttled to avoid spam.

🛠 OTHER FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

Many additional bug fixes, logic improvements, and AI refinements you can look at the patch nodes.

⚠ Known Issues

Marine Build Orders

Rarely, Marines cannot reach a build order if the Commander drops it inside a wall or structure.

Aliens: Sometimes, for some reason, only the Skulks are unable to attack the Marines.

Navmesh Issues

Old NS2 problems like:

Bots not using vents

Getting stuck at pressure points

Pathing errors
These are engine‑level issues.\n\n\nHow to play Natural Selection 2 with bots:

Open the console by pressing ^ or the key you have bound for it.

Load a map, for example:
map ns2_veil

After the map has loaded, you can add bots.

To add bots for both teams automatically:
addbots 18

To add bots for a specific team:
addbots 1 2 (adds 1 alien bot)
addbots 1 1 (adds 1 marine bot)

To add commander bots without using the vote menu:
addbots 1 2 com (adds an alien commander bot)
addbots 1 1 com (adds a marine commander bot)

To remove bots:
removebots 1 2 (removes 1 alien bot)
removebots 1 1 (removes 1 marine bot)

Close the console with ^ or your bound key. Open the ESC menu and select "Vote for Commander Bots". When the vote menu appears, press F1.

Join a team and start playing.
