Questing Bots 0.10.1 (Alpha 1)

on GitHub

Changes from the 0.10.0 Release:

• Implemented bot decision system:
  • Moved all bot "status" checks into separate "monitors" that are managed by a central component. Each monitor class extends an abstract class, so more can be easily added.
  • IsActive() checks in brain layers now just need to check if a decision is active instead of making that choice in each layer. This should provide a small performance improvement.
  • Decisions will now be accurate regardless of which brain layer's IsActive() method returns true first (#63)
  • Updated bot-info overlay debug gizmo to show bots' current decisions instead of "not xxx reasons"
  • Improved bot-info overlay debug gizmo accuracy
  • Added an interop method, GetCurrentDecision(BotOwner bot), to get a bot's current decision (#45)
  • Added a sample patch and component for demonstrating how the new interop method works
• Rewrote handling of external mods:
  • Consolidated detection and interaction with external mods into one class
  • Added framework to change what code is used for certain functions (currently looting, extracting, and ignoring hearing) depending on what mods are installed
  • Moved mod compatibility checks to occur at the same time
  • Removed redundant external mod checks every time a bot spawns
• When spawning late as a Scav, only reduce the number of quests performed (before extraction) by bots that initially spawn, not ones that spawn afterward. This makes the flow of Scav raids feel more convincing.
• Removed obsolete checks to only allow Lightkeeper Island quests or to force SAIN to reset bot decisions depending on what version of SAIN is installed. Also removed corresponding config values.
• Consolidated queries for a bot's current brain layer and logic into one location
• Refactored SPT version check before checking for external mods
• Refactored nVidia Reflex check when the main menu is shown
• Wrap ShallUseNow() call in LogicLayerMonitor in a try-catch block in case there's an exception in another mod or base EFT
• Bug fix for exception in BotsGroup.method_17() when a bot dies after being separated from its group

Known Issues:

• A flicker occurs whenever EFT spawns bots, even when the Questing Bots spawning system is disabled. I have no idea why.

config.json files from the 0.10.0 release are compatible.
