After looking at some vscript functions, I gave a try to make this one. Just like the title, this mod slightly improves bot's ability to stand on their own. Each time they fall, they'll stand again and again until their last breath :D . They also have "self defense" ability called "Gunfu", or more likely a shockwave that damages common infected attacking the bots in very close range.
.
In short, here is the list of effects:
1. Bots have slightly more health (max 101) & health buffer (max 102). This way, they don't get instantly incapacitated when slapped by Witch in normal difficulty.
2. Every second, bots regain health buffer for +1, & when their health & health buffer are lower than 30, they buff +5 health buffer for every second.
3. Every second, bots trigger "self defense", "Gunfu" that blasts common infected zombies around them with invisible shockwave in very close range.
4. Every 20 seconds, bots regenerate health for +1 each second in 10 seconds (+10 health in total).
5. Every 30 seconds, bots have a chance to rise from incapacitation or falling from the ledge without help.
6. Every 30 seconds, survivors (both players & bots) have a chance to rise from falling from the ledge without help.
7. Bot Regroup Warp. This effect only works on bots. Every 30 seconds, when a bot is strayed from group at certain distance, he/ she will immediately be warped behind the players.
8. "Anti SI". There are 2 types of this effect. They are "Bot Anti SI" & "Anti SI". Every 30 seconds, bots have 3 chances to escape from getting caught by Special Infected while players only have 2 chances (just for survival purpose when bots are acting foolish).
9. Counter SI. Every 30 second, survivors have a chance to release themselves from special infected & burn them at the same time.
10. Limit Break. When health & health buffer go below 25, this skill is triggered & gives huge damage to any special infected catching the survivor.
11. New: Awakening Bullet. When health & buffer are below 25 or survivor gets incapacitated, this bullet is activated & every shot will give splash burn on targeted common zombies. SI, tank & witch will get affected (see the changelog).
(In short,1,2,3,4,5,7 only work for bot. 6,8,9,10,11 work for players too).
.
This mod is also to anticipate bot navigation error when players are falling from the ledge & bots are just looking at like fools. So, with this, you won't have to worry about being left for dead on the ledge by bots when bot navigation is error :D .

Notes:
- This is a vscript mod with scripted mode. This mod works with mutation mods without scripted mode & custom weapon controller, but will have conflicts with other vscript mods that use scripted mode.
- This mod works well with weapon skin mods & modified weapon scripts (like pistol.txt, rifle.txt, etc).
- This mod works on Singleplayer, Coop, Realism, Mutation etc & doesn't disable achievements.
- Added new skill, "Awakening Bullet". See the Changelog for details of the effects.
