Description
This addon fixes some shortcomings of the bots whilst keeping them vanilla on the Survivor side.
In addition Smokers and Boomers are more responsive and brings them in line with the L4D2 Special Infected.
These changes include:
- Smokers and Boomers attack instantly just like the others.
-Boomers are more eager to remain in cover
-Smokers retreat sooner after their tongue breaks.

@M'aiqLuvsSkooma 0.75 should theoretically be the sweet spot, as they'd only start healing you or themselves just below the 40 health range, which is when you enter the limping phase; at the current 0.5, they'll do so already in the high 50s.

This is only with temp. health kept in mind, though; in conjunction with perma-health, it might require a bit of testing, yeah. It's been a hot minute since I've played with non-vanilla values, but they weren't hogging any kits from what I remember.

But this is your mod in the end, and I don't mean to butt in. It's just a suggestion for you to think about.

@Kwidam I would need to do lotta testing to make sure that feels good. I raise it too high and there is a risk they become too stingy and lag behind limping around, becoming a pain in the neck. But I see no harm in testing a better value.

Would you perhaps consider increasing the "sb_temp_health_consider_factor" value to something like 0.75? I feel like they're pretty wasteful with medkits at the default 0.5.

@Xeno I'll think about it

Could you release for the SI version only?

My mod just simply tweaks cvars regarding bot behaviors. That sounds like an issue with the 8 player mod, not mine. Not much I can do about that.

In your Enhanced Bots - Survivor Edition mod, when I enable the Spawn L4D1 Survivors, or any other Spawning 8 survivors mod, Zoey is using her Lost Call lines. You think you can fix that?

All you would need to do is disable Left 4 Bot's cvars and use mine instead.

Mhm I heard of it but I have to manually changes the settings whenever I open up the game.

Xeno there is a mod on the workshop that already does this. It's called Left 4 Bots and I highly recommend you give it a try. My cvar changes are compatible with Left 4 Bots as well, so you can just use both.
