Merciless Survivor Bots (Left 4 Dead 2)

This time, I took some experiments by improving bot's aim ability, and... Well, just as scary as its title, the survivor bots here are merciless. If I can put in difficulty level, probably they're equal to hard or advanced difficulty. The bots here have quite accurate aim. One thing is, they can take most special infected for themselves & leave you only few. They're also merciless to common infected.
.
And for this time, I tried another method to make the vscript mod via "mapspawn". So, this mod will feel more like an "expansion pack". You can combine this mod together with other mod with scriptedmode in it & it won't conflict. I also made it so that this mod can be used in both Last Stand & the older version.
.
Aside of the merciless bots, I added some abilities for survivors (you can call this a "Mini Survivor Bots on Their Own Feet"). Here's the list of abilities:
1. "Bots Lead The Way"= They will walk on their own to the saferoom. This one is available on chat command feature & also when a player dies.
2. "Auto Revive Warp"= 10% chance to revive the dead survivors if killing special infected, & 100% chance if killing a tank.
3. Bots will start with magnum pistols (bot only) & pills (all).
4. Survivors get full ammo when leaving saferoom.
5. Survivor rescued from closet has a random Tier 1 weapon.
6. "Healthy Jump" = when jumping, survivor can boost +1 health buffer if their health goes below 50.
7. "Hanging From The Ledge Prevention" = during combat state, bots can't hang from the ledge.
8. "Zombie Kill Morale Boost" = (bot only) 5% chance to get small health buffer when killing zombie when hp is low.
9. "Zombie Headshot Morale Boost" = bonus small health buffer for killing a zombie with a headshot.
10. Chat Command Feature. This feature has some helpful commands within. The list of commands includes the "Bots Lead The Way" & "FriendlyFire On/Off". The list is in the changelog, or type "chat list" in the chat box.
.

When I enable normal mode, I don’t want it to be restored to the default in the next chapter. what should I do

kurochama Yesterday

Check the additional explanation (the blue text) on the console when you activate "normal mode". I put additional explanation there about how to set it permanently.

JeySieGee Yesterday

But, normally it just enables itself automatically when you first enter it.

kurochama Yesterday

@JeySieGee: I think there's different mechanism in Last Stand version. While in Pre-Last Stand any toggle chat commands stay active after the first activation, the Last Stand version has a script rollback system that will rollback any scripts & cvar commands back to before activation. But if the player types the cvar commands on the console or saves the cvar commands on the "config.cfg", the features wll be active permanently even after changing to other campaigns.

Btw, I updated the mod & for now I changed the "no warp mode" as the default. Now bots won't warp when they're close to tank or witch, or when getting hit by player's friendlyfire. But you can still activate "normal mode" like usual as I didn't change that one at all on this new update.

The Content of yours is good, liking it, their health kinda don't drop under 50 which is good, but i have a problem with your mod that they keep spawning close to me when i walking away or fighting tanks which is really annoying, ring any bells? can you tell. me why this is happening?, sometimes they randomly get out of maps territory,

kurochama 1 weeks ago

That's the effect of the "Bot Emergency Warp" feature. That feature will automatically warp bots when they're too close to a tank or witch. But you can disable it with either one of this chat commands: "no warp mode" or "normal mode" (no quotation marks). You can use the chat commands simply by typing in the chat box. For the list of chat commands, you can type "chat list" & the list will be shown on the console.

Muchas gracias. Me alegro de que te guste este mod.

I kinda want only Merciless bots but no other buffs just a normal bot that can instantly kill specials as soon it detect it, and the Melee Dash is so good, I really like it. Any chance that you can make only Merciless Bots and Melee Dash only?

kurochama 2 weeks ago

That new feature "Exp System" is disabled by default, so as long as you don't activate it, you'll play just like the usual "Merciless Bots" mod. & the buff like the morale boosts are not easily triggered, because they are only triggered when killing with headshot.

kurochama 2 weeks ago

Oh, & if the buffs like warp, magnum pistol, pills etc are what you meant on the comment, you can disable them by typing "normal mode" in the chat box. There is further explanation on the console if you want to enable it permanently on every play.

JeySieGee 2 weeks ago

LMAO I always type normal mode before I play.

JeySieGee 3 weeks ago

I'm having fun with melee dash on hehe

kurochama 2 weeks ago

So finally you can adapt to the melee dash ability? That's good then :D . Melee dash looks cooler when using katana or fireaxe.

JeySieGee 2 weeks ago

When you jump and time right your attack. You can actually hit zombies. (Now I am an assassin.)

JeySieGee 2 weeks ago

And when I create a server it's automatically on; I don't need to reopen it every time I make a server. Nice.

kurochama 2 weeks ago

Yep. & you can also do fast stealth kills on wandering zombies with the right timing :D

JeySieGee 2 weeks ago

Can you create a mod similar to Everice's Insanity Worlds, but for custom maps (I like the idea of character leveling up and special infected getting new passive abilities)? I understand how you would suggest deleting something from the vpk, but I believe the special infected are still outclassed by the survivors. So, my suggestion is that you make a mod that is similar to it but more balanced.

JeySieGee 2 weeks ago

I'm just suggesting. But If you can't, I'll accept it.

kurochama 2 weeks ago

For Everice's mods, some of them have a little trick to make them playable on custom campaigns. For example, one of the mod "Calamity Trigger" that adapted to my "Desperado Calamity Trigger" with permission, that one is also playable in custom campaigns. The trick is, delete the "missions" folder in the vpk & then repack as vpk again. Probably that would also work on "Insanity Worlds". You can try it. . & about making similar mods, probably I need to observe the features first. Actually I also have some plans to give some bonuses when survivors get certain kill score, but I still can't figure out which events to trigger the score.

kurochama 2 weeks ago

Btw, it looks like someone already made the "Insanity Worlds" playable in custom campaigns. You can check here "/details/17434". I found it when trying to search the mod.

kurochama 2 weeks ago

Oh sorry, my correction, it looks like I misread the description. That one also doesn't work in custom campaigns, unfortunately. So probably, back to the trick I suggested, try to delete the "missions" folder in the vpk.

kurochama 2 weeks ago

Btw, I added "Exp System" toggle chat command on the new update v4.4, but I used different methods as I'm still not good at using vslib scripts. Probably you can test it. I tested in Normal Difficulty so far, & the level 3 special infected became quite scary. Probably the special infected are still too OP, so I think I will do some updates later, to make the level 3 special infected less OP.

JeySieGee 2 weeks ago

Do SI bots have this exp system on them?

kurochama 2 weeks ago

The SI bots have the abilities when "Exp System" is enabled. You can check the changelog for the details, as it's kind of quite long explanation about each ability of each SI on each level. Probably I'll remove the flame on the charger, as he becomes too OP with that flame when taking a survivor during charging & slamming on the ground, on level 3.

Good Work! :)

Loving this mod so much :)

By SKULLFRFX last month

I love this mod so much :) but I'm a bit confused about the convars.txt thing because i also have left 4 bots installed is it the one located in the "ems" folder? In l4d2's main folder?

Finally - Bots can Lead again

By l4d2survivor last month

Was using "competitive bots+" but this is even better. One Con tho (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) but is it possible to map one of the commands to a button? Typing/Copy and Pasting commands is ok but I think being able to map commands to buttons would make this mod even more perfect than it already is. EDIT - Thanks for the info. This Mod is Perfect.
