Also on a side note since I have your attention

All the different bots have one thing in common: they don't attack each other

There has got to be a way to exploit that mechanic to take advantage of it and make it so the bots don't attack you.. I just don't have the programming experience to reverse engineer that.

Thank you for your efforts in dealing with the plague.

Your cfg/playerlist.json likely had an error in it and there are likely many backups in your cfg folder. I would recommend deleting cfg/playerlist.json and all backups of it.

Not without injecting into the game.

Ahh shit, I figured it was maybe the invisible characters in their name or something.

I ended up getting it to work by deleting the "WpSystem" folder that was generated by the program.

It was the only folder I could find a playerlist.json in
