What was done
The project introduces 'Smarter' guard AI to GoldenEye 007 co-op, featuring dynamic behaviors like suppression, grenades, and callouts. As of v0.6.1, this feature is hidden behind a build flag, defaulting to Classic guard behavior.
The GoldenEye Co-op project has implemented a 'Smarter' guard AI system designed to enhance enemy behavior in cooperative play. The system introduces dynamic elements including mission alert levels, suppression mechanics, grenade usage against stationary players, and guard callouts. The AI logic utilizes existing state data, maintaining protocol compatibility (COOP_VERSION 14). Claude Opus 5.5 is credited as a co-author on the commits implementing these features. In v0.6.1, the Smarter guard AI is restricted behind the COOP_SMARTER_AI build flag (set to OFF by default). When disabled, the game defaults to Classic guard behavior, and related configuration options are hidden from the user interface. Previous development in v0.6.0 addressed critical issues, such as a slot crash fix and desyncs on levels like Surface 2, by ensuring level-script guard spawns are managed by the host and improving character slot handling.
