Enhanced Angry Vanilla Bots (Left 4 Dead 2)

You can say that this is the "lite" version of my "Merciless Survivor Bots" mod. This mod is another experiment for fun about bots that only focuses on making bots "angry".
.
Just as the title says, this mod makes even the vanilla bots angry & shoot all zombies on sight :D . Even you might lose in competing about killing zombies, as they can even kill zombies that you can hardly see in the woods or swamps. Unlike "Merciless Survivor Bots" that I put tons of complicated vscript functions to make bots merciless, I only put 9 simple main vscript functions here. I didn't put complicated convars about bots inside. The only drawback here is, when you use this mod, the bot's difficulty rises almost to the level of "Terminator Bot Mode" & you can't lower bot's difficulty (you can't revert them back as the foolish bots).
.
EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:
1. ANGRY BOTS: Bots shoot immediately when seeing zombies.
2. SCOPE ON ALL WEAPONS: All guns can use scope (original L4D2 doesn't have this feature).
3. BOT REGROUP WARP: Press "Reload + Shove" to warp bots to your place.
4. ACID EVASION: Bots can immediately avoid acid.
5. TOGGLE FEATURE: A text file, "angrybotstoggles.txt", will be generated in "...\left4dead2\ems\enhanced angry bots\angry bots cfg\" when using this mod for the first time. The toggles inside that file control which features to enable or disable. After changing the value & saving the text file, reload your gun to make the changes take effect.
6. CHAT COMMANDS: Players can use some custom commands by typing in chat box. The list of chat commands can be found in "...\left4dead2\ems\enhanced angry bots\angry bots cfg\chat commands\"
.
This mod works together with other bot mods & admin system mods, so you can use this as a simple "Bot's Brain Expansion Pack" that installs brain on vanilla bots :D . There are 2 vpk files in the zip based on the usage:
1. "enhanced angry vanilla bots.vpk" = this vpk can be used with most bot mods except "Left 4 Bots" (there are some unknown errors on console though normally it's supposed to work as I used different files to trigger the scripts).
2. "enhanced angry vanilla bots 2.vpk" = this vpk can work on "Left 4 Bots" & most bot mods but will conflict with "Merciless Survivor Bots" as it uses the same file as "Merciless Survivor Bots" as the trigger.
.
So, with this mod, everybody will start to figure out that bots are actually geniuses that pretend as fools. As I said before, all settings are based on default vanilla bots. I just put 9 main vscript functions & they're already that "angry" & obsessed with killing zombies :D .
.
Well, enjoy your play with angry bots then.
.
NOTES:
- As bots when in "angry" state are aggressive & keep shooting zombies around them, it's not recommended to set "sb_friendlyfire" to 1. The default L4D2 sets the value to 0 so it's safe using this mod.

Hey i found a bug. When playing versus with bots, if you're in the ghost state and stand near the bots, they will shoot you lol.

Connor1227 2 days ago

BTW, when TemporaryGodMode = 1, there're a chance that bots will take no damage permanently.

Well, for the bug when in ghost mode, I think that might be difficult to modify, as I set bots to shoot based on the type of player (if they see special infected, they'll shoot). Probably you can use that to have fun with bots in ghost mode :D . I'll try to check if there's any way to stop bots from detecting ghost mode. . As for "Temporary God Mode", actually I set timer that deactivates it automatically after few seconds. But probably there's a random bug when the timer doesn't deactivate on time & then bots will stay in god mode until next time spitter spits acid. I'll try to check the timer for "Temporary God Mode".

I've been going crazy looking for the cause! Apparently, the BotHeadshotRate feature causes fallen survivors to drop double rewards when killed by headshot. Also, I suspect it's also causing me random crashes when this happens, especially when they appear next to hordes of zombies taking attacks as well. I just checked it on the Tumtara infected map. With Botheadshotrate 1, they drop double medkits on death if they only get shot by bots and not by me. If I hide the bots and shoot the fallen survivor by myself, he dies dropping simple medkit. I disable botheadshotrate and it stops happening.

About drop rate, did you use mods or plugins about giving item drops on killed zombies with certain conditions, like headshot condition? When I tested with this mod alone, the drop rate of the fallen survivor was normal. & when using this toggle, any parts of body that bots shoot will deal headshot damage, so, if there's such kind of double item drop reward feature on headshot, bots will more likely trigger that reward. But I'll try to test more in map with fallen survivors by setting "Bot Headshot Rate" to 100 & let bots shoot him to check it. . As for random crash, last time I tested by setting the value to 100 (always headshot), that didn't happen. But I'll try to investigate it by playing one full map with continuous panic event. So for now probably you can disable "BotHeadshotRate" until I check for possible bugs..

I finished testing in "The Passing" map 1 & "Plan B" map 3. . When checking for crash bug, I used "Plan B" map 3 because it's an escape finale that has continuous panic event with more zombies than usual. I set the "BotHeadshotRate" to 100 & let bots handle almost all zombies either from afar or close range. Till I arrived to rescue vehicle, no crash was found. . Then, for checking the fallen survivor's double drop rate reward, I used "The Passing" map 1. I led bots to the location of the fallen survivor in the beginning of map & let them shoot him. & well, it really dropped more item, like 2 pcs of each type of item. . So, for the conclusion for now, I think the random crash problem might be caused by something else. & for the double item drop reward when doing headshot on fallen survivor, probably there's nothing I can do as bots deal headshot damage when using this toggle, as long as the headshot feature is triggered. I'm also still not sure if that double reward feature is originally from L4D2 or not, as usually I was the one who killed fallen survivor either with a sniper or magnum pistol while bots were busy shooting at other zombies. If it's originally from L4D2, then you can see it as bot's reward for doing headshot on fallen survivor.

For the crash problem, probably you could send me the video recording file when the crash happened. Or you can re-create the same situations when the crash happened & then record it & send me the video link so I can check it myself.

I don't think there is such a thing as double reward for headshots, nor did I install anything like it. Besides, I also shoot them in the head and I don't see it happening. The only sure thing I can say about the crashes is that it happens when I melee a fallen survivor mixed with other zombies while my teammates are shooting.. It's very rare and I've played entire campaigns without it. I have crash repports obtained by sourcemod, very detailed, but I am unable to understand them. Would it serve you? If I try to record the situation, it is very possible that it will not happen to me during hours.

If the double drop rate isn't originally from L4D2, then I can think of one possibility: "double kill count". I also never put bonus item drop on any of the toggles in this mod, so that's the possibility I could think of. I don't know exactly about how dropped items are applied on zombies especially fallen survivor. But if my guess is correct, once bot's forced headshot on "Bot Headshot Rate" is triggered, the zombie takes damage high enough (equal to the remaining health) to make the "double kill", & because the system reads like the zombie is killed twice, the items are also dropped twice. The "killed twice" might be because "Bot Headshot Rate" uses "chain damage", like, if the forced headshot is triggered, the base gunshot damage is followed by the bonus headshot damage equal to the first damage (that makes it 2x damage), & when a zombie's health reaches 0 then it takes a bonus headshot damage, probably the system detects it as double kill. Probably my "Bot Headshot Rate" accidentally trigger L4D2 item drop bug that can double the dropped items. . & for the crash problem, as you mentioned that it happened when you used melee, probably it's not related to "Bot Headshot Rate". "Bot Headshot Rate" is only applied on bots so players can't trigger the script at all. But if you have the crash report, you can send it to me via pm. The more detailed the better, I think, as that way, I can investigate the bug faster & more easily.

The v6.5 new funtion crirical rate was cool, now i can deal with the witch by myself :D

kurochama 3 weeks ago

Yeah, "Critical Rate" can help kill witch & tank in one-on-one fight. The higher the rate of fire of the gun, the higher chance the critical shot will be triggered.
