Hey gang, I wrote up a quick edit to the AoMarineAIController class in AoAI.u that allows the following:
* AI can fire while moving
* AI can shoot anywhere on the screen a player can, and efficiently so
* AI follow using a 1-2-3-4 line formation for less movement issues
* AI crouch and walk according to their leader
* AI still prioritize the angles you set when you leave them holding
This was originally intended for personal use, but I figured I'd share it here as well. Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to figure out how to get this in mutator form, so it is NOT compatible with players not using the mod as well (as it is a replacement AoAI.u package and will yield a "version mismatch" error). So back up your vanilla AoAI.u!
For a demonstration of the new AI, see this video:
This is a 07:50 run of AO-ReactorCore on Insane with 3 bots. The medic bot was not harmed at all during the run and scored a Perfect medal.

The follow code can sometimes look a little quirky with 4 or more marines following one dude, but it functions pretty efficiently and AI divide up firing angles fairly well following in a line.
If anyone wants to turn these edits into a mutator, please feel free. I'm not sure what the policies are of distributing edited package code, but hopefully everyone's cool with it.
Enjoy!
