fixedFor a long time, newer players have struggled to have fun while playing against a bot since the bot picked up minor clues that the player could be a robber and immediately started to attack the player, making playing against him a very frustrating experience. I added a new difficulty setting for the bot, which is on "easy" by default and makes him less aggressive, reduces his fire rate and makes him a bit dumber while more experienced players can still have a challenge playing against the bot on the "hard" setting. I also fixed a few other bugs regarding the bot sometimes having a weird pitch rotation and players that were hosting a session not rotating correctly when having a weapon equipped. Full changelog: - added a bot difficulty option to the "General Settings" menu - added new bot difficulty "easy", which reduced the fire rate of the bot and makes him overlook some clues that could give away that the player is a robber, to make it easier for newer players - the old bot difficulty is still available if the bot difficulty is set to "hard" - bot difficulty is now on "easy" by default - fixed a few bugs of the bot, for example, a weird rotation issue when you were standing on top of the bot - fixed a few other bug, like the player model of the hosting player not rotating correctly when having a weapon equipped Have fun!
