Better Bots (Left 4 Dead 2)

Have you ever noticed that the bots are usually really dumb? Well, this mod I made called 'Better Bots' may suit your bot improvement needs!

Simple description: Makes bots better.
Changelogs: There are too many to list here, sorry. (I did change most of their mechanics to be more human like)
(the thumbnail shows how the bots are able to play a campaign even though I'm dead (if you die in a finale, you may get softlocked and will need to wait until the bots eventually die))

This script can only be used on all official gamemodes and most official mutations.

YOU MUST BE HOSTING THIS ON YOUR OWN LOCAL SERVER OR BE PLAYING A SINGLEPLAYER GAME!
YOU MUST COPY AND PASTE THIS INTO YOUR DEV CONSOLE WITHOUT QUOTES "sv_consistency 0"

Also, I do script requests, if you have a request, put it in the comments!
(my other scripts don't work together, so please ask me to merge them if you want to play with multiple scripts!)

Hi! thanks for the mod! ^_^ I was wondering if you can make bots startle the witch when passing by her, or throw grenades, or at least increase the amount of them in a server (you can do either one, two, or all: these are just suggestions) 4 is boring already and when I play versus or TAAANNNKK! it ends quickly (oh sorry to give too much load ^=^ can you also make one or two special infected follow you if you're on the special infected side? A group attack would be an awesome sight!) Thanks in advance!!

Can they pick up gas cans?

No, that requires the use of a plug-in.

We all want better "bots" as well all know they are morons that get us killed more often than our own mistakes do. But many mods like this have been made, so what I want is a "better" description of what makes the bots better! I'd be happy to give it a try then, but just saying the bots keep going if I get killed when in fact they do that anyway isn't much reason for me to try this.

I mean all you really need to know is that their reaction times and awareness are much higher than normal. You can always check the script to see everything I changed, because as I already said, there is too much to list.

Also, they don't keep on going. The campaign will restart the current map, unless you use some sort of plug-in or mod to change that.

I've been playing the game since 2011 (in single player) and on the rare occasions I get killed they do keep on going and eventually I get rescued in a "room" somewhere in the current map Back when I first started playing the game didn't do that, but it has for years.. I don't use any scripts to change bot behavior, this is due I think to an update to the game that Valve made years ago (at least that's my theory since the bots are idiots believe me.) And yes, I could use GCFScape to look at your mod (even though I'm retired) but I didn't think of that and I doubt others would either. Most modders don't want anyone doing that! Look I don't really care, I was just trying to help you get more people to try your mod that's all. I made a lot of "marketing" mistakes in my career that led to some of them being less popular than they could have been. For example, in the case of the first mod I ever released I didn't have any screenshots and that was stupid. Once I added those the number of subscribers on Steam went up and the number of people looking at it on this website went up too.

Screenshots? Screenshots of what? You can't show how bots work with screenshots XD I have not played earlier versions of L4D2, but as of right now, if a player dies on a team full of bots, the map will restart. And to be fair, I have stopped working on this. I won't ever support this unless I find a new sort of AI improvement or a major bug that breaks the mod. Cheers :D

Master_64, I wasn't suggesting screenshots for your mod I was saying not having any with MY first mod was a mistake on MY part, to give an example of one of the marketing mistakes I made. I agree screenshots for this mod would be pointless, though I strongly believe having a description of the improvements would lead more people to try this.

Sorry for the misunderstanding XD
