Improved Bots (Simple) (Left 4 Dead 2)

SUMMARY
This addon makes several changes to bots to make them act more like human players and make them more reliable as teammates. They can use melee weapons, rescue you if you die, react quicker to a teammate being attacked by a special infected and much more. 

Note: While this addon does improve the bots, it doesn't make them perfect. There is no way for me to fix every issue with the bots, but I have improved them in the areas that are possible. I realize they still aren't ideal teammates. 


FEATURES
• Bots can use melee weapons. 
• Bots will continue to play after you have died instead of ending the game. 
• Bots will react much faster to a player being attacked by a special zombie. 
• Bots can perform some simple actions, such as closing safe room doors. 
• Bots will move around a player instead of shooting through them. 
• Bots are much more likely to save their first aid kits for a player. 
• Bots will try to stay in a tighter group with the player. 


NOTES
• Works for all official game modes. 
• This addon doesn't block Steam achievements. 
• This version of the addon is ideal for single player, multiplayer with bots or servers. 


SUPPORT
I try to offer quick support for all of my addons. If you have any issues or questions, please post a comment and I will respond as soon as I can.

Guest November 2017

Trunten May 2017

has anyone tried this with the mutation "United We Stand Coop"? that mutation has all 8 survivors together. does this mod still work properly with it?

Guest July 2017

I did. Oh yes, it literally works! :D In fact if you like, you can actually become a spectator yourself and let all 8 bot survivors go their own journey! Its not 100% perfect as they can stuck certain places, but they can go on doing some important missions.

Pros

- Smarter bots - Must-have addon - Improvements that should've been added long ago in L4D2, but hey, this addon has them

Cons

- None that I can think of

P.S.: this mod can help in getting the tricky Strength in Numbers achievement. :)

Pros

Great improvements Bot's are in general more intelligent Added things Valve should've added In general it was a great addon worth the DL

Cons

Nothing that I'd noticed

All and all it's a great addon worth the download at anytime and this man deserves ALOT of credit for this fantastic addon.

Pros

Bot use melee! Bot wait their friend! Alternative to Survivor AI Trigger fix (SourceMod Plugins)

Cons

Bot don't know how to press button for finale, for example Dark Carnival.

It more nicer if bot know to start finale and crescendo, Can use as Versus co-op training!

Pros

- Bots can go without the player - We can play Versus, Realism, Survival and Scavenge Offline - When I'm attacked, they react faster than usually

Cons

- Not a really good Main Menu - We can't play Scavenge totally since bots don't use the Gascans - We can't play Best of Five in Scavenge - Bots do not pick up Bombs - They don't go by themselves (I am still the one who leads)

In case, this is a nice addon even if it needs some changes, but still it's good.

Pros

Bot continue after I die. bot can close doors safe room. companion bot react when attacked by a special infected.

Cons

bot are bad using melee. still locking in places and not jump in some places. they do not always open some doors and teleports.

This is great because it helps to improve the behavior of the bots. But in the simple version (the bots will not take off) should get that melee and not progressing and stolen. But it's a great job, thanks.
