Does this have support for other gametypes like hide and seek and match/ringslinger

Unfortunately no, you'll have to use RailAI for Ringslinger and NavAI for the rest (you can find it on the SRB2 Discord server)

Hello! This 1.8 release is mostly bugfixes and maintenance, since it's been a few years(!) and some stuff broke along the way.
Notably, issues with removing bots in singleplayer should now be fixed - additionally, some efforts were made to work around the current desync issues and should present a stable netplay experience on 2.2.15. Sorry some of these issues went unaddressed for so long!
While the release is lighter in the feature department, there are a few updates to AI behavior, including the option to significantly increase the maximum target range via the ai_seekdist console variable. While this has some performance considerations, it's relatively efficient and allows the bot to behave much more independently of the player. Try it out!
Additionally, there is a new autobot command intended to streamline using a bot in singleplayer. It will automatically setup both the player and bot according to Player 1 / Player 2 settings (name / skin / color) in the multiplayer menu. This also works in multiplayer.
Unfortunately, there still isn't any (proper) gametype support outside of the usual co-op antics. I've put a lot of thought into how this might look for a "foxBot 2.0" of sorts, including extensibility for mod support (target types, gametype goals, etc.), but I haven't taken the time to really plan it out properly. I have many ideas for how I'd like to tackle this, and it's something I'd love to do some day, I just can't commit to anything yet. :P
In the meantime, thanks to everyone for their support over the years - this bot (and game!) holds a special place in my heart.
Until next time!

Is there anyway I can make the bots not follow me, or become a bot myself but not following anyone? And about ai_sightmode, which mode is most effective when combined with the max ai_seekdist?

Aw man, I'm going to miss the bot's power of going with you into the special levels. That was amazing!
