Looking for a true challenge? Are you masochist enough? March of the Machines is a simple lua script that modifies bots behaviors, making them more difficult to play against.
This script is the successor of an old SRB2 Kart patch I made for Sonic1983’s Player Bots mod that I’ve never released. The goal here is to make all the interesting features of the original script compatible with DRRR while adding new behaviors for bots in order to let them follow the player’s pace better.
This mod scales with vanilla bot difficulty. It was made with Lv.Max difficulty in mind but you can still combine this mod with a Master/Grandmaster difficulty on Grand Prix for the whole painful experience.
How it works?
The script will override some of the bots behaviors and will add multiple passive effects to them. When the script is enabled :
> Bots are more aggressive and have a different dodging and pathing behavior.
> Bots have a more optimised start at the beginning of the race. (Boost duration increased on Hard Mode)
> Bots will be able to use their voltage after a trick.
> Bots base speed and rubberbanding are increased. (Even more increased speed on Hard Mode)
> Bots have double item amount when they take an item box. (Triple item amount on Hard Mode)
> Bots can gain sneaker boosts at random intervals. (Replaced by random invincibilities on Hard Mode)
> Bots have reduced respawn time and will have a sneaker boost and a short handling buff after a respawn.
