-## ☉ About
+This is a fork of **YaPB (Yet Another POD-Bot)** focused on improving the *Noob / Newbie* difficulty experience.
-It's a computer controlled players (bots) for the Counter-Strike b6.5 - 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Bots allows you to play that games without connecting any game server or even without internet.
 
-## ☉ Documentation
+The goal of **noob-edition** is not to make bots “dumber”, but to make them behave more like real beginner Counter-Strike players:
-* English: https://yapb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
+- slower and less confident aim resolution
-* Russian: https://yapb.readthedocs.io/ru/latest/
+- heavy body-driven aiming (center-mass, leg hits)
+- delayed lock-on and poor vertical correction
+- messy, inaccurate firefights
+- fewer headshots without artificial restrictions
+
+Higher difficulties (Normal and above) are **unchanged** and retain the original YaPB behavior.
+
+This fork is intended for:
+- casual offline play
+- learning maps and mechanics
+- relaxed bot matches without instant headshot punishment
+
+All credit for the original bot architecture, navigation, and AI systems goes to the YaPB project and its contributors. This fork builds on that work by tuning aim dynamics and behavior for beginner-friendly gameplay.
+
+---
+
+## ☉ What’s Different in Noob Edition
+
+**Noob / Newbie difficulty only:**
+- Reduced aim stiffness and increased damping
+- Slower vertical correction → natural center-mass bias
+- Delayed and imperfect target lock-on
+- Fewer snap headshots, more prolonged firefights
+- Bots panic, spray, reposition, and overcommit like real beginners
+
+**Normal / Hard / Expert:**
+- No changes
+- Original YaPB behavior preserved
+
+This approach avoids artificial randomness or hardcoded misses. The bots still *try* to aim correctly — they just struggle to execute cleanly.

+
+## ☉ Building YaPB Noob Edition (Linux)
+
+You can build YaPB Noob Edition locally using Meson and Ninja. A Python virtual environment is recommended.
+
+### 1. Create and activate a virtual environment
+```bash
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+````
+
+### 2. Install build tools
+
+```bash
+pip install meson ninja
+```
+
+### 3. Configure and build
+
+```bash
+meson setup build
+meson compile -C build
+```
+
+After a successful build, you will have:
+
+```
+build/yapb.so
+```
+
+This is the **YaPB Noob Edition** binary containing the modified Noob / Newbie difficulty behavior.
+
+---
+
+## ☉ Installation
+
+Copy `yapb.so` to your Counter-Strike installation:
+
+```
+cstrike/addons/yapb/dlls/
+```
+
+YaPB Noob Edition runs **without MetaMod or AMX** and works in:
+
+* offline games
+* local listen servers
+* bot-only matches

+Waypoint issues and requests should be filed in the official graph repository:

+
+## ☉ Philosophy
+
+Traditional “easy” bots often reduce accuracy while keeping perfect decision-making.
+Noob Edition instead focuses on **human-like mistakes**:
+
+> confident but wrong decisions
+> slow correction instead of hesitation
+> panic over precision
+
+The result is a more believable and enjoyable beginner experience.
