UNTARGH adds completely custom bot types that don’t replace existing bots, each with their own loadouts and roles. They are neutral, giving warnings to anyone who strays too close and only firing when ignored or fired upon.

UNTAR Grunt

The bulk of the UNTAR mission’s combat-ready forces. They’re meant to “keep the peace” and protect civilian members of the mission while they perform their duties. Expect them to be armed with a variety of western weapons while wearing standard UNTAR armor.

UNTAR Squad Lead

An NCO in charge of a squad of UNTAR grunts. They keep the group in check while donning equipment from their origin nation. They have fancier weapons and gear on average.

UNTAR Officer

Officers are in charge of ensuring that the mission’s objectives (extract capable civilians, distribute aid to those stranded, and make a f#$% ton of money) are adhered to and completed. Currently, they’re functionally similar to squad leaders besides the fact they always wear a blue beret, but I do intend on expanding their purpose.

Patrols can spawn across several maps in randomly generated patrols at random times during the raid. Their size and composition varies, with some larger patrols being lead by officers and potentially having multiple squad leaders. As more UNTAR types are added patrols will become more varied.

Maps

Settings related to patrols can be adjusted in the config/main.json server file. This includes adding new maps and zones! Patrols will pick a random available spawn zone found in the config file and a time in a defined range. Maps can be configured to have multiple patrols rolled (which also means you can encounter multiple patrols in one raid).

Currently, patrols will spawn on:

• Woods, 2 possible patrols at a time, decent spawn chance, small-mid sized
• Customs, 1 possible patrol, good spawn chance, mid-big sized
• Interchange, 2 possible patrols at a time, meh spawn chance, small-mid sized
• Shoreline, 1 possible patrol, decent spawn chance, small-mid sized

• Checkpoint guards that occupy the various UNTAR-related gates and extracts. They’ll let you through, but for a price (or with good word from Peacekeeper).
• Services with Peacekeeper related to UNTAR that you can activate in raid. Make UNTAR allies, call in a patrol to come “keep your peace,” or waive checkpoint extract fees once you’re trusted enough by Peacekeeper.
• More UNTAR types. Marksmen, medics, and observers. In addition, I’d like to give current roles some more interactions and purpose.

Not specific to this mod, but related things I want to work on that you might like if you enjoy the new UNTAR faction:

• Custom bot/faction API standalone mod to let other devs easily create and customize their own bot types, alongside API stuff for other devs to account for custom bots.
• RUAF faction, with its own functionality and a GRU subfaction to hunt USECs.
• Dialogue mod. I don’t want to spoil too much since I still need to do some prototyping to make sure it’s feasible, but there will be integration with my other mods if it is.

UNTARGH has full (I might’ve missed something. If you notice any problems with SAIN or errors do let me know!) compatability with SAIN, with UNTAR bots using SAIN behaviors and having dedicated config options in SAIN’s settings.

UNTARGH has no specific compatability code at the moment with any spawn mods. I still have to do some testing and collaborate with some authors to make sure UNTAR spawning works 100% with spawn mods. If you encounter any issues with spawning while using these sorts of mods I won’t offer support, but I will accept logs so I can work on ironing out compatability.

MOAR

MOAR seems to work with UNTARGH, but there’s no additional compatability. Basically, UNTAR works off my spawn system, everything else works on MOAR’s system.

ABPS

ABPS DOES WORK with UNTAR Go Home! Again, UNTAR patrols use my system and aren’t handled by ABPS but they will spawn while ABPS handles everything else.

UNTARGH is relatively untested with these mods. Questing Bots and Looting Bots don’t conflict at the very least, so you can play with those just fine from what I can tell. I’ll be conducting some testing and patching in necessary compatability fixes. Eventually, I want to include functionality related to Questing Bots in particular but that’s for a later update.
