*I will update this video if anything changes*
Hey everyone, one of my favorite Ravenfield mutators was the Bot Skill Tweaker, but as of late, I, as well as many others have noticed the mutator wasn't having much impact. I decided to find out for myself if this mutator improved bots... and unfortunately came to the conclusion that the mutator doesn't work.
This video goes over bot skill level, the mutator itself, and the testing that went into it. I think I added like 20 hours to Ravenfield this past week, and 99% of it was automated haha! I hope you enjoy, and a reminder that this is not a dig at the creator of the mod itself, as they have stated multiple times that it is out of their control.
Anyways, hope you enjoy! I had to remind myself that this is youtube and not a research paper, so I cut out a lot of the process, methods, etc. so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Unfortunate. Rest in Pepperoni, Bot Skill Tweaker...

Pour one out for a real one😔 I’d imagine a fix will be possible, but who knows when

I am currently testing this mutator myself and I agree with the author: "beginner" is too broken. It can defeat everyone, but under some conditions it may be worse than "normal", but otherwise the mutator works as it should. it would be nice if you conduct another test, but on a more complex map with vehicles (for example, tank pit 2)

@nolberggg 27 күн бұрын

Originally, I aimed to test all combinations, but after failing to get visible results I shifted focus to just see if accuracy and reaction time improved. I do regret not checking if "beginner" mode was causing issues, though simply watching “elite” bots fight kinda confirmed my bias. My findings are based on the assumption that if one part of the mutator isn’t working, then whole thing must not work. Trying vehicles next would be logical, but I'm a bit burnt out on the topic right now since testing was so time consuming. It’s great to see other people are also testing this, so let me know if you figure out anything else!

@@nolberggg I'm also glad to see that someone else is disassembling ravenfield in this way. surprisingly, the skills work as in reality here: the lower the skills, the less skillfully the bots control vehicles and the less the technical gap matters. I will never forget the single battle: normal has heavy tanks and airplanes, and elite has machine-gun tanks that can't even fight other tanks, but it turned out that machine-gun tanks using difficult hilly terrain broke into the enemy lines, destroyed infantry, and then the elite infantry finished off the heavy tanks. as a result, 30% of the elite and 0% of the normal survived, and if there were at least veteran vs veteran or other map, then 50% of the army where there are heavy tanks and 0% of mg-tanks army already survives

I used to remember this mod working it was fun to play in. Unfortunately it seems after a certain update of the game it doesn’t work anymore. Further more I also found the game’s difficulty setting to not be making much of a difference as well. I hope it gets fixed soon

Wow that's pretty impressive, thanks for the info! Could you possibly elaborate a little? I'm very curious on what issues bots currently have

@standly5477 22 күн бұрын

@@nolberggg Btw the way your test is wrong because the difficulty actually influences the skill level scaling, having it on easy essentially makes all the bots have the lowest target registration rate. so the lower you push the difficulty, the poorer the bot performs on all ranges, my advice, turn the difficulty to hard, you will see a clear difference in a match level. this also affects how bots use movements such as lean when going around corners. the skill level also affects the rate of bots getting into cover.

Admittedly I did not since testing eats up so much time and I saw nothing significant from normal or easy. I definitely plan on continuing to test this mutator, so thanks for the insight!
