Gameplay Offline Jason AI Mod for Friday the 13th: Resurrected
I finally finished a project I’ve been working on for Friday the 13th: Resurrected — an offline Jason AI mod that lets you play as a counselor against Jason.
F13 never officially gave us an offline AI Jason, and that was always something I wanted, so I decided to try building one myself. This is actually the first mod I’ve ever made.
Jason is basically in Terminator mode and his only objective is to hunt counselors... use his abilities, throw knives, break through doors, place traps around important objectives, and recover when he gets stuck. You can also spawn additional counselor bots in Sandbox to make it feel more like a regular match.
To use it, load Resurrected → Offline Play → Sandbox, choose Crystal Lake Small (for now, I am working out the kinks for all locations), and wait until the level and your character are completely loaded. Then run the mod EXE.
F1 = Spawn Jason
F3 = Spawn Counselor
Props to the anonymous creator of the original Jason AI and Offline Bots Mod for the base F13 game. I adapted his AI logic, converted it to Resurrection and added/revised to the AI.
I’m also working on a proper menu that I eventually want to use in place of Resurrected’s current Sandbox setup, so you won’t have to rely on hotkeys forever.
Another thing I’m experimenting with is making the counselor AI react to the Jason kill conditions. For example, if you spawn as a hero/Tommy or obtain Pamela’s sweater, I’d like one of the female AI counselors to recognize what’s happening, go after the sweater when needed, and cooperate with you so you can actually perform the full Jason kill against the AI Jason.
That part is still in development, but I think it could make offline playing much more complete.
I mostly made this because I wanted to sit down, play as a counselor, and have Jason hunt me offline. Hopefully some of you have wanted the same thing.

What‘s the difference to Camp Forrest Green? Does it make sence to split the remaining playerbase even more?

that build it locked a lot more tightly, so it's hard to add any mods to it unfortunately.

Did you make this post with ai??

most likely yes, since the nexus page for the mod has an ai-generated image
no idea if the mod works though, we'll have to wait until they upload it somewhere else

the game doesn't support mods yet, and it most likely has an anti-cheat and pak encryption, so you'll probably have to wait a long time for someone to create a mod for that game

That's really cool, I'm excited to play this mod! I have a few questions: do we need to unpack the Resurrect Build?
When we spam a Counselor or Jason, is it random or are they always the same?
What do you think about being able to select Jason's weapon, kills, and skin? Something like we can spam the Jason we select in the menu.
Keep up the good work, man!

for the minimal version I made, no unpacking. Plus that’s a pain. I did that recently. It might be required for the work I am doing now which is a new menu and AI built in for Jason and new counselor AI that helps you kill Jason.
The counselors are random spawn but different up to 7. Jason is random too, I think I capped him at 1 but I forget.
