Changes in beta 4:
* A.I. now uses a LOT less CPU time!

Changes in beta 3:
* Brand new RGB color saber system. (like old jk2 TCK).
Changes in beta 2:

Extra Info:
INSTALLATION: You need to install the aimod.pk3 into a new "AImod" folder under gamedata.
eg: gamedata\aimod\aimod.pk3
To use the NPC taunts, either install the jampconfig.cfg to your aimod directory, or use "/bind <key> vchat" at the game console (SHIFT-~).
INFO: This is using my old dark tide code, not the npc code, but yes the bots still fall back to the original code when there is no better option. If you are having problems with speed, try using the bot_thinklevel command to stop it checking for special moves as often. -1 should use none. 0 will use a few here and there, and 6 will make them special any time they can. I plan to use the NPCs in the RPG mod this will become. The bots were made for training, and because the original bots sucked. The bot code is all my own (except it falls back to original routes if needed), no NPC code at all.
