I sent this idea to Beppo last week but received no response.
I was doing a bunch of play testing last week to try to improve the bot tweaker. I came to the conclusion that no matter what settings I used in Inf or in the bot tweaker, the bots still seemed deaf and dumb if I never fired my weapon. As long as I didn't fire my weapon in the match, and did not get too close (within about 5' in the game) the bots never knew I was there. It was like I was invisible.
As soon as I fired one shot, no matter where it was aimed, the bots were on me quick. After I fired one shot, the bots seemed to gain their sight and hearing back.
Perhaps a mutator could be written that would send a false "fire" signal to the bots at the start of the round. Maybe one of you mutator writers could see if this would work.
