VScript Survivor Manager

Description
Chat Commands (use with / or !)
!survcount <number> - Set the survCount setting and refresh it in-game. This will spawn in the appropriate amount of survivor bots, handles the auto-management of number of survivors and saves permanently across all games in it's settings file.
!survkick - Remove a bot in your crosshair, or nearest to it.
!survbot <number, leave empty for 1> - Manually add survivor bots.
!survorder <character list> - Change the survivor order the Auto-Manager spawns bots in. Leave empty to reset to default survivor order.
Example: !survorder b z e f n c l r z l
!survswap - Takeover control to your crosshair's nearest survivor bot. Will not work if you or the bot are pinned, downed, or dead.
!survfix - Re-enables the Auto-Manager if you screw up the bot count.

Manage more than 4 survivors in your local game. Play with 8 survivors, and/or bypass sb_add's strict limits in your sv_cheat-fun session.
Fixes the general issues with the bots crashing upon kicking or takeover, so even Admin System's L4D1 bots will not be crash-prone most of the time.

Balancing not added
This mod does not have any way to increase any infected count, stat, or other options to balance the additional survivors.
For now, try getting another mod to increase or decrease difficulty.
- Special Infected Synchronization
May require manual tweaking.
This one is a Sync-Only version with no AI changes, but on the mod's page you can get alternate versions that change the AI to be more aggressive.
- Chinese mod called MoreSI
May require manual tweaking.
Not recommended for English users.

If you want more than 4 human players to join, you need an 8 player lobby mod.
Lobby mod 1
Lobby mod 2
Lobby mod 3

There is a stupid strict limit of 4 human players in-game in campaign lobbies that can only be modified by Sourcemod. This is a separate limit that does not care about your lobby slots.
VScript cannot modify this.
The only other way is to turn the gamemode into a "Versus" gamemode. Sorry for disappointing. :(

This mod uses the chat for it's commands, not the console.

I need help please! everytime i attempt to use a command it just says that it doesnt know what that command

@OutAWork
You need a third-party plugin called L4DToolz (link) [github.com] and like all plugins, it needs to be run in a dedicated server or in -insecure mode.
There's no other way around this that doesn't use third-party tools.
L4D2 hardcoded the maxplayers limit to always remain at 18.

How do I bypass 18 limit?

Edit the settings.cfg file to modify the survcount back to normal, check the settings discussion in the 'Technical Stuff' section of the description.

Why is everyone's first instinct with this mod to just put in a big number?

i set the bot number to 32 and now my game crashes when loading a map. How do i set it back?
