CS Mine - Deathmatch

New features

• Added server-controlled bots for Casual matches.
• Bots use real TaCZ weapons, projectiles, ammunition, reload mechanics, damage, and headshot detection.
• Bots can move through arenas, navigate around obstacles, detect enemies, aim, shoot, reload, die, respawn, and continue playing.
• Added dedicated A* navigation for bots inside registered map regions.
• Added Easy, Medium, and Hard bot difficulty levels.
• Bot difficulty changes reaction time, aiming accuracy, target handling, and combat behavior without giving bots extra health or damage.
• Bots can participate in match scoring, kill feeds, statistics, and final results.
• Bots are excluded from persistent RP, ranks, achievements, profiles, and match history.
• Added administrative controls for spawning, removing, and configuring bots.
• Improved bot integration with simultaneous MatchInstances and map isolation.

Improvements

• Improved bot target validation so they only interact with valid opponents from the same match.
• Improved TaCZ handling for artificial players, including weapon draw state, cooldowns, reloads, ammunition, and server-side weapon ticking.
• Improved bot movement and obstacle navigation.
• Added bot stuck detection and automatic route recalculation.
• Improved bot lifecycle handling during WAITING, STARTING, RUNNING, death, respawn, and match cleanup.
• Improved performance by separating bot perception, pathfinding, movement, and combat update frequencies.

Fixes

• Fixed bots stopping after their first magazine by adding real TaCZ reload handling.
• Fixed artificial players not advancing TaCZ weapon states correctly without a real client connection.
• Fixed bots remaining dead when killed before the match started.
• Fixed several MatchInstance systems that previously assumed every participant was a connected human player.
• Prevented bot data from being written to player ranks, achievements, profiles, statistics, advancements, and persistent player files.
• Improved cleanup to ensure bots are completely removed after matches.

Compatibility

• Bots are fully server-controlled and do not require CS Mine to be installed on player clients.
• Players can continue joining with only Forge + TaCZ.
• Bots currently participate only in Casual matches.
• Ranked progression remains exclusive to real players.
