Introducing Chat Feed Enhanced, a new chat feed mutator that makes bot chatter a little more unique.
Major features:
– Includes a MadLibs-style chat message generator that adds more variety!
– Bots now frequently make typos! (letter-swaps, mistypes, missing letters, double letters, accidental shift/caps-lock presses)
– Bots now have special messages for air/ground vehicle kills!
– Bots won’t spam squad orders anymore!
Other minor things:
– Any bot that teamkills, is teamkilled, or is relaying squad orders now has a (TEAM) tag next to their name!
– If bot names are too long (say, they have clan tags or are more than one word), bots will automatically shorten them in their messages!
FAQ:
Q: Can I edit the chat messages?
A: Unfortunately, no. Since there’s currently no way to import other Lua libraries or load non-Ravenscript files into a Ravenscript script, I had no choice but to hardcode all the messages and filler into the script itself. If, at some point, Steel adds the ability to import Lua libraries, I will move all the messages to an external JSON file.
Q: Can the bots have conversations with each other/Can I have conversations with the bots?
A: No. I’d like to implement this feature at some point, but I’ve gotten so burned out on programming this mod that "some point" won’t be any time soon.
