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.

⭐ NS2 Bot Maintenance – Major AI Overhaul (Highlights)

Marine and Alien bots now fight smarter, react faster, manage the economy properly, and follow Commander logic far more reliably.

Below are highlights of the latest update.
For full details, check the Changelog.

🪖 MARINE BOT HIGHLIGHTS
Smarter Combat & Movement

Correct Boneshield behavior (no frontal Onos shooting).

Improved dodging, leading, ballistic aiming, and close‑range reactions.

Jetpack Marines use fuel intelligently, kite properly, and avoid dead‑ends.

GL Marines avoid their own grenades and use arc‑shots more accurately.

Better Equipment & Objective Handling

Correct weapon switching (no shotgun/flamethrower spam out of range).

Marines pick up all dropped weapons and equipment anywhere on the map.

Axe logic for Harvesters, improved mine placement, reliable welding.

Cyst clearing works autonomously (one bot per cyst).

Improved Behavior Around Bases

More reliable Techpoint captures.

Better RT defense and structure handling.

Smarter follow system (flashlight sync, phasegate following).

🚀 JETPACK & EXO IMPROVEMENTS
Jetpack Marines

More efficient fuel usage.

Wave‑like dodging and proper kiting.

Actively secure dropped weapons.

Exos

Seek Marines with Welders for repairs.

Better obstacle detection and emergency retreat logic.

No more multi‑Exo egg‑rush conflicts.

👽 ALIEN BOT HIGHLIGHTS
Gorge

Full Bile Bomb overhaul (cluster scan, armor filter, finisher logic).

Proper Babbler management (no spam, minimum 3).

Correct Exo distance and ARC accuracy.

Lerk & Skulk

Smarter combat behavior and ambush camping.

No Sporecloud waste on Exos.

Onos

Correct Boneshield interaction (matches Marine logic).

Alien Team

Retreats only to living Hives.

🧠 COMMANDER BOT HIGHLIGHTS
Alien Commander

Biomass 1–12 researched correctly after Hive rebuilds.

Early defensive structures, tunnels at double RT, shade placement.

Chat alert when an Exo is trapped.

Marine Commander

Builds up to five bases without engine bugs.

Drops Shotguns/Welders/Mines at secondary Armories if HQ is down.

Mine limit increased (8 → 12).

Smarter attack, repair, weld, and scan logic.

💰 ECONOMY & BUYING HIGHLIGHTS

Dynamic weapon limits based on team size.

No more mass‑buy spam (no 8 SG or 3 FT at once).

Stable Exo purchases, Minigun priority vs Onos.

Worst‑Case system: detects critical situations → Exo rush possible or buy what you can as a last effort.

Team DPS‑based decisions and pres‑waste prevention.

🔥 RUBBERBAND SYSTEM

Marine bots dynamically adjust:

Accuracy

Reaction time

Turn speed

The further Marines fall behind, the harder they fight back.
Creates fairer battles, comeback potential, and prevents one‑sided matches.

🛠 SYSTEM FIXES

NaN vector sanitizer (Bomb.lua / movement crash elimination).

Multiple nil‑check fixes (Phasegate, AlienCommanderBrain, TechNodes).

Flamethrower coordinate fix, Welder build bug fix, ghost slot fix.

Improved pre‑spawn stability.

⚠ Known Issues

Rare unreachable Marine build orders if placed inside geometry.

Rare Skulk targeting bug (legacy engine).

Navmesh issues (vents, pressure points) — engine‑level limitations.

📘 HOW TO PLAY NATURAL SELECTION 2 WITH BOTS

1. Open the console

Avatar scatter3774306230Combat: ReforgedImport and development of the NS2 Combat Standalone game.

This isn't the regular NS2: Combat that you're used to.

Combat Reforged — Power node core mechanics

- Earn XP by fighting and supporting your team. Kills, assists, structure damage and objective play increase your player level.

- Spend upgrade points each level. Build your own loadout through weapon, armour, movement, ability and lifeform upgrades. Many upgrades have multiple ranks.

- Upgrades persist through death. You keep your purchased progression for the remainder of the round, although changing class or equipment may alter which upgrades are active.

- Map control generates Team Energy. Capturing and defending key areas strengthens your team’s energy state, while losing territory pushes it towards the red zone.

- Team Energy affects reinforcements. Teams with strong map control respawn faster. A team losing control receives slower reinforcements, making territory increasingly important.

- Power Nodes are major objectives. Marines should capture and protect them; aliens should destroy or deny them. Ignoring the map and only chasing kills can cost the round.

- Base structures can return after destruction. Important map-placed structures may respawn after a delay, so destroying them creates a temporary advantage rather than always removing them permanently.

- Pressure the enemy base when they are weakened. Sustained loss of map control leaves the enemy with slower respawns and reduced ability to defend their Command Chair or Hive.

CBM is the baseline for this mod.

Avatar (UA) blizovskiy3763486027Server Tweaks

Server Tweaks — Build 344



Configurable server-side balance tweaks for Natural Selection 2.

The mod automatically creates its configuration file here:

%APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2\ServerTweaksServerConfig.json


For a dedicated server using a custom -config_path, the file is created in that folder instead.

After editing and saving the configuration, enter this command:

st_reloadconfig


When hosting through the game, enter it in the host's in-game console.

On a dedicated server, enter it directly in the server console.

The new values are applied without restarting the server, changing the map or ending the current match.

Features



• Separate Supply limits for Marines and Aliens
• Maximum personal and commander resources
• Marine armor and movement speed
• Skulk health and armor
• Weapon and equipment prices
• Rifle, pistol and shotgun damage
• Rifle melee damage, range and duration
• Hydra damage
• Configurable Armory armor repair
• Correct Supply values in the HUD\n\n\n[url=https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/discussions/18446744073709551615/580550781202133800/?appid=4920]
