- !! all server configuration options have been moved into the Configuration Manager, you can now update them through that and they take effect at raid start

- updated Come Here, That Direction and Stop gesture commands where you can now use them to move bots one by one where you want them.

- updated some Phrase commands to be able to be used on individual followers by looking at them. Be careful, bots too close to your view will be picked up, and thus the command will not go for all. Being in bushes can interfere with this or not seeing the bot clearly.

- altered "get back", "cover me", "hold position" and "go go go" voices to always say the same thing instead of going through different phrases in order to bring them closer to what the commands do relative to the followers

- added "On Your Own" command. This will tell bots to stay at a distance (similar to "Get Back"), switch to their default tactic, and no longer prioritize their position and safety during fights. "Cover Me" resets this

- added a field to provide a custom nickname for each follower in the Configuration Manager

- added fields to provide custom uniform (top and bottom) for each follower in the Configuration Manager

- added options for setting custom shortcut keys for Contact and Status Report phrase commands. (This means you can put these 2 on other than just F1-F12 keys)

- added "Raid End Messages" in the config manager to enable/disable messages followers may send at the end of the raid (return loot messages are excluded)

- fixed the issue with long spawn delay that was happening for some people

- attempt to fix follower still getting stuck in healing animation under certain circumstances (still not 100% of the cause or how to replicate)

- altered how the enemy is added to followers as the current method would make followers aware of any enemy position as soon as that enemy made the player his goal target.

Sometimes you can have 1 bot becoming an enemy even though it is of the same faction. SAIN seems to affect that. So if it's 1 every once in a while, that is fine.

• followers picked up in raid will now have "assist" tactic. In assist mode, followers do not listen to push or hold commands, they tend to do their own thing.
• added flag to copy player's clothes for squad setup in Configuration Manager
• Extended the distance for which the bot decides to search for a shooting spot during combat (Default tactic only)
• Removed fence level settings that originally were used to force commands to work on bots (before version 3.x.x)

• fixed bug where the follower that was picked up during raid was giving back loot that was given to him (only the squad remembers should do that)
• fixed some bugs in what messages are sent to the user based on if he did not give any loot to a squad member or picked up a follower

Clothes is something I look into in future releases, when things are more stable.

I am getting near to release 3.6.1. I can give it to you: https://drive.google.com/file/…l81s2KmI/view?usp=sharing
and you tell me if you still see the healing issue. You can also tell me if the radio status sound slider works, that is what I was finishing up with but I haven't yet tested if it properly controls the volume of the radio sound when you press status report.

Does it happen frequently or you seen it rare? I've seen it once in all my tests, but I've seen it before long back for vanilla bots as well. Thus I suspected a vanilla issue. I did not like it either and wanted to do something to stop them from freezing but have not seen it again so I can't tell what made it happen.

The mod does not touch the medical stuff of bots at all. So no other mods except this one?

Are you using realism? People report that to happen.

- removed looting bots dependency, this also means you cannot use the loot corpse command anymore but you can now tell bots to pick up loot that is elevated (like on a table)
- reserved the secure container of bots for extra ammo. The secure container of a bot will be used for adding extra ammo for the main weapon. If you create presets that include a secure container, that will be ignored and instead use the default one the bot would spawn with.

- changed "balance" tactic which is now named "default" where bots will look for shooting spots when at a distance from the enemy instead of falling back to holder tactic

- fixed bots not appearing under the same group.

- fixed BEAR still speaking English when englishBear flag is off

- fixed BTR being seen as an enemy to the followers

- changed the squad spawn logic to help deal with an error SAIN was throwing because of not liking that the followers were spawning first

- "Fire" command removed

- "Stop" command removed

- "Hold Position" command updated ( triggers hold tactic if in combat and hold position if out of combat).

- "Stop" gesture triggers hold the position for any follower within 15-meter radius.

- enabled "exit located" command to trigger followers to regroup on the player's location

Friendly PMC 3.3.4

Updates to the fighting logic of the followers. Normal and the Goons. In my opinion, goons are a lot more better now, although bird brain still could use some work. And still haven't managed to find the best logic for fighting marksmen. I will try to find time to focus just on the marksman fight.

Known issue: Giving a follower loot when he has no room left will end up with a bug where the bot gets stuck in the take item action and appears frozen. Use the "attention" command to get him out of it.
