The problem with all AI bots in FPS games is that whenever they are programmed on maximum hard difficulty - they always have aim lock and wall hacks, and it feels like ur not even playing against realistic human reaction times. U simply die instantly through walls and cover.

And your teammate bots not listening to ur commands plus blocking the exit and you cant get past them

I absolutely love this video. My mod, Improved Gameplay was the most popular AI mods on the nexus for nearly a year. I ended up dropping the game completely and stopped updating the mod because the AI was just so bad it couldn't be fixed without entire AI rewrite to even allow proper response times. You covered nearly all the issues that I found frustrating over two years ago, and sadly, these can't be completely fixed by modders. Add the fact the devs act like children and ban people in steam community posts or their discord for being critical of obvious issues with their game? Highly unprofessional.

It’s a dope game, I really like it a lot but the AI definitely has issues and needs tweaking. They are far too aggressive and far too accurate. I don’t mind a punishing game but sometimes it just feels outright unfair. Nothing wrong with pointing that out, it’s a good game but it could still use some tweaking

Finally! I who thought this was a buggy mess. Now I think not and that I did this wrong all the time. After watching your video a second time in one week I now understand how the remaining pool of sailors not on current shift is available for the officers. Lately I had only two sailors "on duty" as it is called (small square at the right side from the officers) and could not figure out why I could not get more sailors available. Running the IIA with only 14 sailors total and a fuel tank the size of a peanut this was very hard at times. When playing later this evening I will setup the crew, officers, schedule, tasks and squads correctly. I need my men available for my officers. Very valuable crew managment tutorial even 3 years later. Thank you!

skill issue lol. if the ai was literuhlly impossible then i guess all those people who completed the game with an S rank were cheating.

Wonderful Video Thanks !!

I would love you to also mention shitty sound design. There was dude shooting a shotgun 3 meters from me and what i heard is basically sound of shootout on the other end of the building.

Why is this in The Librarian's favourite video playlist lol

👍

Great explanation thanks. I'm new to the game and this has answered a lot of questions.

AI is fine

Do you please have a link for the green table you showed in video? Cannot fint it at TVRE. Thanks! :-)

Fantastic video thank you for this. Damn shame they had to kill the game with 1.0. I noticed such a massive difference at how unbalanced the A.I was I just stopped playing entirely. Game was tons of fun before that.

The AI on your team is extremely incapable on some maps. Like in Sins of the Father, they most often don't stack up on hallways or doors and scoot around the map or just stand still leading me to being shot in the back since they don't fucking post up even after telling multiple times. AI enemies are sometimes weird shooting through doors and walls, windows and obstacles while non of my weapons are able to do the same. But I can deal with that, as long as my dudes do as I say, which they in 40% of cases don't. In SWAT 4 the flashlights actually blinded a suspect when blasting their eyes, even if it was just for a second. But it helped deescalating many situations without shooting. Apart from that, the enemy AI isn't as ridiculous as it was in the video

i dont really mind the fast reactions of the ai i only want my teams ai to do what i tell them to and that they dont just get a main charechter syndrome and start running towards a hallway full of open doors

Any update on this one? We have 2 others now and the new patch is meant to drop in a day or so. * 5 = Km // * 5000 = meters. As for hectometers, I'm not sure of that one, it's not used in Metric countries. Typically mm, cm, m, km are the most common. Is HM a nautical thing?

I feel bad for the community, they are still waiting on the AI patch.

its funny but annoying at the same damn time

First skill actually is skill issue 😂

TOC: "This isnt a run-and-gun situation!" The suspects:

I s2g the AI has gotten worse. Instead of balancing them out, the AI either sit there like a potato as you reload, or plug a 9mm between your eyes and a ballistic mask on frame 0.00000000000000001 they see you

Awesome stuff hope you will start posting again man!!

Why would an officer carry ammunition? He’d order a swabby to do it. I’m fairly sure the officer would be more likely to supervise and direct a gun than actually fire it.

Ooops I hit subscribe "¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "

Yup i was lucky to get a refund , i was looking for a tactical squad game where you have to exercise triger discipline, but this is exactly what makes it impossible. If i wanted to play cs go , i would just install and get stomped by my global elite friends.

Too Bad it doesn't work like this anymore. I assume that this was changed in some past update. This is what people should expect whenever someone puts out a video and the devs see it.

just uninstall this game, couldnt be more happier

Ive been working on my Terriorst AI for my gmod gamemode, this video is a huge help for me.

I know this video is 3 yrs old but decided to give a little info on real watch rotations. I am retired Navy , mostly served on frigates designed for sub hunting. The 2hr watches are called "dog watches" there is usually two of them , one after the next. This is mainly for the cooks to feed the crew and are around dinner time. Sea watches are typically 4hrs on watch. If your 1 in 3, you do one watch in every 3. 1 in 4 is one watch in ever 4 watches. Then their is "marrying the dog watches" which takes the two 2hr watches and puts them both with the four hr watch before and after making 2 shifts have a 6 hr watch each. There are a few variations. The officers would be 1 in 2, so 5 on 5 off 7 on 7 off, do to limited numbers. The "free" designation" can be used for "turning 2" which means available to work but off watch. You usually turn 2 when in a 1 in 4 rotation, so you work your 4 hrs and are available for 4 hours if there is any work to be done, then your free after that Hope this was useful or interesting for someone.

Pre-alpha is better than 1.0

Best walkthrough ever. Just kidding busy seriously. lol nice job!

for me the AI seems to either laser me before I even fully kick open the door or is totally useless, with minimal in between...

What a great freakin video. This really sums up a lot of it's issues. And of course they banned you, thin skinned devs who can't take criticism at all. But don't worry the next patch will make your player characters mouth move when you talk. BIG IMPORTANTO.

The ai sucked ass since day 1. The devs are just incapable of making good ai. Game is dead.

Just managed to get a refund even after seven hours of gameplay on record, it's a shame because I really enjoyed the idea of this game but with the AI being well and truly broken even a year after launch, NADA.

The sad part is that one needs mods to basicly hot fix the broken AI, because Void devs seem to be incompetent to do the job them self's ! Awesome video U made such great points !

so many old meme

speaking of ai cool human voice dude

Legit thought this video was a month old not a year old. Dang

If electric depth keeping is active, does it actually do anything if I manually assign an Engineer to improve depth keeping? Or is it ONLY useful to do so when manual depth keeping is enabled?

For the algorythm so more people see this, 40$ Wasted and the game is just so bad. Doesnt deserve alpha status, its not even programmed right

The fact that I thought this year old video was within the month, is a testament to the lack of AI development into 1.0. It’s the final lock in the chest. This game is almost there!

yeah, maybe I'm not that bad at this game, AI is still aimboting and wallhacking.

I don’t play by the rules

That job is 80-100k imo

January 2024. A.I. issues are now in the public eye after the game's full release. Not worth the $50.00 I paid. The suspects' A.I. is so accurate I can't win firefights with my team in single player. Always injured after the first engagement, either myself or minimum one of my teammates. Tactical equipment doesn't seem to do anything except enhance the experience with some effects on screen. Suspects don't have armour or gas masks but they're more resilient than my player-character. Every mission is a battle of attrition against the computer. Do I have enough armour, HP, and tac-equipment to clear the mission? Depends on how much time I spend behind my team. The less time I spend engaging suspects and/or civs the less chance I'll lose all my armour. Meaning I'm in the back sending orders the whole mission, using my squad to deploy tactical equips, breach, shoot, clear and arrest. I like to command but I also want to take point sometimes, but if I do I have spectate the remainder of the mission if I get shot. It's boring to engage personally because it's so difficult to live through and it's boring to engage by proxy with the team commands because all the actions taken aren't player actions. Slow, tactical, careful, thoughtful, these were the things I'd hoped would be encouraged by the gameplay in RON. Obviously the best strat for the gameplay would be to sprint, jump, and aim down sights, all as often as possible (Too bad there's no jump in RON yet). Not like any other shooters encourage that kind of play-style. Niki Minaj skins in RON, anyone?

This Video is so much on point and other developers get it right in their games. Why not the RoN developers, especially with lines of side over great distances.

Yep most points here still remain true after 1.0. Trying to S rank maps is near impossible without god tier AI rng or just a mod.

Having situational shifts is helpful. I have a "docked duty" and "manning the valves" jobs which are usually empty but enabled by situation. You can change crew duties by having multiple versions and only enabling some. Also using all three free/work/any can force officer syncing schedules. Even a single forced off/on duty block in an otherwise free schedule can trigger shift changes for officers. I wish you could manage role presets better and assign roles on a time basis. Early on I have crew on "auxiliary" duty scheduled opposite an officer, eg day watch officer, night sailor as spotting at night is less likely but you need someone for safety. Even with all these good tips in the videos there is a lot more creativity to find.
