With this Venice Unleashed Mod you bring virtual bots to your Battlefield 3 server.

BOT-AI

AI for TDM-bots with some functions:

Bots can walk around on paths and shoot at player
You can record you own paths
- while holding your primary weapon, all movement is recorded
- recording includes jumping, running, walking, couching, and other stuff…
- while holding your secondary weapon, bot will pause in this position.

Inspirated

This mod was inspired by the mod BotSpawn by Jassent.

It provids lots of ways to play and mess with bots. Also with multible Players at once.

How do I need to configure my server? My Server restarts in an infinite loop when the bots joined since this makes enough players for a round

De_Joe-91 · January 17, 2021, 1:46pm

Can you pm me your Startup.txt and Modlist.txt? Then I will have a look at.

mnlo · January 17, 2021, 5:33pm

same for me, with the never ending restarts. can I PM you my startup and modlist as well?
thanks in advance and amazing work btw. thanks for this contribute

De_Joe-91 · January 17, 2021, 9:50pm

If you have the min Playercount on default it wont work. Just set
vars.roundRestartPlayerCount 0
vars.roundStartPlayerCount 0
in your Startup file.

Can I add some friend bots?

De_Joe-91 · January 18, 2021, 6:33am

You can, but they don’t attack other bots. Use the “Spawn in same team” option.

mnlo · January 18, 2021, 9:10am

Thanks a lot. was make it able to work with a few tweaks and just d/l the update you made. wow. it works awesome.

LoveMiku233 · January 18, 2021, 11:56am

I am thinking about how to translate the menu. I try to add Chinese.js in webui and then compile it. UIClient.lua has also been added, but when entering the game, the changes in F12 settings cannot be saved and taken into effect. There are also Chinese garbled problems. Do you have any good suggestions?

De_Joe-91 · January 18, 2021, 1:39pm

Can you send me your Language-File? Then I will have a look at and implement it in the master.

ghoul507 · January 18, 2021, 3:54pm

Thanks for your reply but do you mean when I join the fight and press “F10”? I did it but I cannot see any friend bots.

De_Joe-91 · January 18, 2021, 4:07pm

Sorry, there is a bug right now with saving bool-values. So the option does not work with the UI. Will be fixed soon.
If you enable the console-commands in the config.lua you can use them to set the “spawninsameteam” var and then spawn some additional bots.

madd0g · January 18, 2021, 5:15pm

Awesome work.
Can those bots be used for Conquest somehow?
Also any way to make the bots fight each other?(assuming there is bots on both teams)

De_Joe-91 · January 19, 2021, 11:30am

Maybe some time in future. To make them fight each other the client needs to check if they can see each other. This is really intense calculation, so as long as the raycast is only supported for the clients I will not implement this.
Maybe one day I will try to make them work on Conquest as well, but for now I’m improving on the TDM Version, to get them fully functioning

EricPilot · January 19, 2021, 2:11pm

Good to know about the restarting issue, I have the same issue. Also when I installed the MOD the menu options are in German. Is there any way to change this?

Badoosh · January 20, 2021, 8:40am

How do you add more map support?

De_Joe-91 · January 20, 2021, 10:38am

In the next Version boths things will be fixed. Just go to the config.lua and set the language value to nil, to get English again. You can also use the latest version of the Branch “refactoring-and-tewaking”.
But this version is not really tested jet …

De_Joe-91 · January 20, 2021, 10:30am

You can add support for every map yourself. Just record some Traces (Round paths araound the map) and save them. (all in the Trace-Menu).
If you create some cool paths, just send them to me and I can include them in the next release. (They are stored in the mod.db file in the mod-folder).

SAWCOACH · January 20, 2021, 12:15pm

Works well

SAWCOACH · January 20, 2021, 9:46pm

Is it possible to make the BOT’s join the server as people enter the server instead of running all the time?
