What ?

This is a SPT mod to tweak the bot brains

• They can no longer throw grenades
• They can no longer sneak on you sprinting
• They can no longer reload their weapon like machines
• They no longer have eternal stamina
• Rogues are less laser like and are more disturbed when shot at, their hearing is not like the next generation sonar. They should not voluntarily choose head as a target at first shot.

• Scavs are now really brutes with bad weapons skills and bad hearing
• Goons reworked a little bit to tone down their head-shooting-habit.
• BEAR and USEC are reworked to be less laserlike on the head.
• BEAR, USEC, Scavs, Goons and Rogues now miss some grenades you launch at them (by default they spot 100% of grenades you launch)
• BEAR, USEC, Scavs (at the moment) now miss some of your tripwires and will blow up on them (thanks to Polarius for testing the feature and giving the idea)
• More to come ...

How ?

Just unzip in your root directory as any other good mod (this mod contains the `user/mods` directory tree.

If you just want to enjoy, you are ready to go.

If you want to switch some features on/off go to the config directory of this mod (`user/mods/flir-BrainTweaks/config`) and make a copy of the config.jsonc file to userconfig.jsonc. Then edit to your liking.

If you want to tweak the bot brains by yourself:

To avoid losing you brain config each time you install a new release

we have a special directory (`db/userbots`) where you can work.

Look into the `db/bots/*.json` and copy the desired ones to the `db/userbots/`

directory. Then you can edit the files in `db/userbots/*.json` as much as you

want.

Be advised that each entry in your new file is the only one to take effect.

This means that if you only want to modify one setting and let the mod handle the rest

you should remove all the settings you don't intend to manage from the copied file.

For reference, you can use the document created by Solarint

Why ?

Because I don't have SAIN in 3.11

Who ?

This mod is made by me.

I got some inspiration from

Normalized Bots port ~3.11 and FairFight

But the code is mine.

BrainTweaks 0.2.4

• tweaked grenade sensitivity of:
  • bears
  • usecs
  • scavs

all of them now are less prompt to spot your grenades.
The easier they are the less they will spot your grenades.

Please tell me if you think the bots are now too insensitive to your grenades.

Please also note this only applies to BEAR, USEC and SCAV brains, all other bots are left untouched for the moment, waiting for some play testing feedback before going further.
