a very cool mod. bots become so much better and can get some nice synergies too. a shame the weapons dont work, but its still vastly better than vanilla

Bot weapons upgrade is currently broken, please fix

Fix the bots weapons!

a shame this never got applied/sactioned

Just wanna say, this makes chaos wastes WAY funner. and feels more balanced.

The culprit was BTMP. If you are using bundle: BTMP (8 bots) + Peregrinaje (Chaos Wastes+) - disable "Bot get new weapon" option in Boons 4 Bots.

Thanks for the follow-up -- in order for me to make any sense of what could be going on, I'll need some more information. A debug log would be best, but the error message with the crash is the minimum needed. You can share either of them with me via the Vermintide modders' discord channel.

Crashed after last update (4.9.3) with using Peregrinaje (after weapon upgrade and on start next map)!
Close mod option "Bot get new weapon".

Loadout Manager not installed.

I've heard reports that Loadout Manager can cause crashes when bots get new weapons. If you're running with Loadout Manager and would rather your bots get weapons, you can try disabling LM.

would be nice if fatshark stop sucking

haha this is funny, honestly should be. this way, in official realm.

would be nice if there was like a petition system so we can vote this into Sanctioned

Ah, what I would give for this to be sanctioned, or be implemented. Would make my solo runs way more consistent and fun.

''Unsanctioned mods'' need update

thanks for the reply

It's random - since the boon pools vary from career to career, there's no way to stay in sync. Randomizing boons is also more chaotic :)

@jeeves i need help with how the boon 4 bots actually work pls. Are the bots choosing boon at random, or are their priority to it or it just get the same boon as u do for all 3 of the bots? thanks

Sanction this mod pls FS

This needs to be sanctioned! :D

Thanks for your quick answer, I play on official, hence why it is not working.

The easy answer might be to make sure you're in the modded realm! This mod isn't sanctioned, so you can't use it in the regular realm. The other easy answer is you have to be the host for bots to get goodies.

After that, make sure that there's a Boons 4 Bots entry in the mod menu (F4 by default). If there is, and the options are set to allow bots to get improved weapons, you should be able to see them in the standard Tab menu.

Otherwise, I'd suggest grabbing Boon Manager (linked above) so you can inspect what boons and weapons your bots have in the inventory screen (set hotkeys in Boon Manager to cycle through party members).

Note that bots will only gets boons and weapon upgrades as you do.

If you're in the modded realm, there's a B4B entry in the mod menu, you've gotten a boonand Boon Manager still shows bots have no extra boons, please share a debug log with me if you can (my first comment on Feb. 21, below, describes how to do this).

Hey guys, I might be dumb but how do I enable this mod in-game ? It is activated in my mod list in the launcher but when Iam playing CW nothing happens with the bots whatsoever.

ok thank you, I figured out that it was the Mod Loadout Manager, disabled that and now it works.

Without some more details, I'm afraid I can't do much for you - I've been playing plenty of runs without BTMP enabled and Boons 4 Bots hasn't caused any problems. The "all you get are WP bots" is behavior of BTMP itself - you can see the description and discussion on its workshop page to see which bot you'll get.

seems to crash if i dont have BTMP enabled. but if its enabled all i get are WP bots. Not sure if I am able to do anything.

Just did a couple test runs. Shrines are working great now! Had a couple more crashes but they seem to be unrelated at least to your mod, they popped up the usual error report message which I wasn't getting before. Thanks for taking the time to answer and tweak the mod! I considered after the fact that there might just be some incompatibility and thought I might just get told those mods don't work together. It's nice to be able to put those two mods together--with them running in tandem my Bounty Hunter bot just nuked a Minotaur with his ult down low enough for a few ranged shots to kill it. Crazy. Good stuff, thanks again for your time and hard work!

Hi Jet - thanks for the log file. It showed me pretty quickly that this error is a different one, related to the Different Bots mod you're using:

<<Script Error>>scripts/mods/DifferentBotsLITE/DifferentBotsLITE.lua:1973: attempt to index local 'ranged_slot_template' (a nil value)<</Script Error>>

I subscribed and tested and saw what you did: upgrading a secondary weapon (either through an exchange shrine or an upgrade shrine) causes this error. I just pushed a fix to let these two mods work in harmony - give it a try, and let me know if you still see issues!

Not a problem, stuff can happen with any kind of mod, but figured even if I'm just an edge case it'd be good for you to know. Tested it again and the anvil shrines work, but any weapon swap shrine still seems to instantly crash the game. Posted up my last crash log of the night on pastebin. https ://pastebin .com/ jZbCLS9C Hope this works, never used that site before.

Hi Jet - sorry to hear there's an issue. Exchange shrines should be fine - I just started a couple runs and had no problem using them.

To help me fix the crashes you're seeing, can you confirm that you're using the latest version of the mod and then share some more details, either here or directly to me on Discord? (You can find me in the Vermintide Modders server.) Bonus points for getting a log (like the one Vel provided below) with debug prints enabled (you can set this in the VMF options), but I'll need at least the error message and Lua state at the end of an existing log from a crashed run (the sections titled "<<Lua Stack>>", "<<Lua Locals>>", and "<<Lua Self>>"). Here's [vmf-docs.verminti.de] a link with directions to find your logs and the Discord channel.

Nope. Having that exact same issue. Two consecutive attempted runs with this mod I used a green secondary weapon exchange shrine and the game instantly crashed. Is it only the upgrade/anvil shrines that are allowed with this mod? If not, then bot weapon upgrades are definitely not safe.

Yep - bot weapon upgrades are safe once more.

Hey! Thanks for the quick action, does this mean I can enable bot weapon upgrades now?

I'll check it out and let you know

Hey @Vel - try the latest, it should be fixed. BTMP and WP are both good to go. Thanks again!

Oh right! I could simply disable weapon upgrades. I totally forgot about that

I'll let you know of any further issues if I encounter some. Good luck figuring things out too!

Hmm. Not sure! There seems to be a problem with the particular weapon/skin getting assigned to one of the bots:

Assertion failed `world.resource_manager().can_get(unit_type, unit_name)` at `D:\agent-work\data-dir\engine_vt2\release\bless_2021_11_17\runtime\application\plugin\c_api\c_api_world.cpp:67` in function `stingray::plugin_api::world::spawn_unit`
...
unit_name = "units/weapons/player/wpn_emp_flail_05_t1/wpn_emp_flail_05_t1_runed_01_3p";

The error is outside of code that I have access to, though, so it's hard to tell. Just guessing: maybe this is a DLC skin that you don't own? I've heard of some weirdness with WP and weapon chests, so it could be related. Again, though, I'm just guessing :/

For maximum safety until I can get this sorted out, I guess either:
- don't use WP bots, or
- disable weapon upgrades in the Boons 4 Bots options if you want to keep rolling with several WP bots with BTMP - I wouldn't blame you!

Game crashed last night after I did a Red-Tamper upgrade with WP bots on the team. I suppose it is either from this mod or from the BTMP (Bots) after I read the crash logs. Here you go!

https://mega DOT nz/folder/4SJQRbwK#Hf-Eau1vwN1IICSKkayXnA

i meant can't get, cause they throw themselfs of the map lol

I'm not entirely sure what you mean - as it is, bots can get the push-charge boon (Gork's). There are few things I enjoy more than watching bots Gork around through a horde!

If you don't want bots to have certain boons, you can use Boon Manager (https://steamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2734566701 , to view bots' boons) and Ranald's Refund (https://steamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2744131330 , to do the removing) to take away any boons you don't want your bots to have any more.

i love this mod. one thing if you could do it? make sure that bots can get the push dodge forward boon?

I wasn't happy with my initial approach, so I fixed it properly. Should be good to go, please let me know if there are still issues after updating to the latest.

Thanks for the report - I'd seen that before and thought I worked around it. I hadn't! I still don't think I have in the latest version, but it should be much more stable, now. You can also disable the immediate granting of bot weapon upgrades (disabled by default), and they'll be (safely) upgraded at the start of the next map.

(For ultimate stability, you can disable bot weapon upgrades entirely in the options, but I haven't gone that far in my own runs.)

Ah, I think the crash came from when upgrading weapons, likely because sometimes they try to upgrade their side arms or something when they are already at that level.

[Script Error]: ...stem/systems/behaviour/nodes/bot/bt_bot_melee_action.lua:71 : attempt to index local 'slot_data' (a nil value)

Needs to get approved

Probably the worst part of bots in Chaos Wastes is that they're weak, on top of being dumb

FInally, nice :)

I haven't seen any issues in the latest release, but I'll be glad to look at any crashes that may be Boons 4 Bots related - here are some steps to get helpful information: https://vmf-docs.verminti.de/#/user-guide

This link contains a link to the modders' discord channel; if you post in the using-mods channel, I'll see it and try to help if I can.

Though, problem, it seems to be more unstable now. More likely to crash. Might be conflicting with the lua penlight mod.

He can't be stopped!

Doing Sigmar's work!
