Left 4 Bots 2

Description
This is a complete rework of Left 4 Bots (v1). It has pretty much the same functionalities of the V1 but they have been improved, plus some new functionalities have been added.

Please note: the goal of Left 4 Bots has always been to make the survivor bots more human-like, not to turn them into super zombie killing machines.

The addon gives them some functions that the vanilla AI was missing, like defib dead players, scavenge gascans, deadstop special intefected etc, so their combat skills are also improved but they can also fail and fu** things up, sometimes. But isn't this part of the human behavior? :D


What changed?
Almost everything.
The bots are more active while executing the orders, they can attack and shove infected and scavenge items.
The lead order has been completely reworked and it will work on most maps, including finales.
Now you can order each bot to follow another survivor or to go and hold a certain position.
Bots have weapon preferences you can change.
Bots can complete all the official campaigns on their own, look HERE (in The Last Stand campaign you also need this: NavFixes).
And more.
The commands changed too. Look HERE[github.com] and HERE.

For more details, please check the videos i made about L4B2 on my Youtube Channel.


What didn't change?
The fact that L4B doesn't replace the vanilla AI, it simply adds some features to it.
L4B can make the bots execute your commands, throw nades, defib dead players and do some other stuff that the vanilla AI can't do (not always successfully though) but for most of the time it's still the vanilla AI controlling the bots, with all its known defects.


Addon customization
This addon is fully customizable.

how can i make it so that the bots can rescue me from a hunter instead of shooting their secondary at a tank?

Try changing the "orders_no_queue" to value from 0 to 1 in the "settings.txt" located at "...\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\left4bots2\cfg".

Can you make something similar to "handle_l4d1_survivors" setting but for L4D2 survivors as well? That'd be great since I plays "United We Stand" mutation and the L4D2 survivors does not want to pick up any items & weapons unless I uses Admin System or uses the Vocalizer to manually tell them to pick up stuffs.

@Resident Raccoon The "hurry" command will make them cancel any current order and ignore everything for a duration defined in the settings (default 30 seconds iirc). This should cause them to follow you while ignoring the tank.

@jenarobinson Each bot has a pickup configuration file in ems/left4bots2/cfg/weapons. Putting the grenade launcher all the way to the right in the top line should make the given bot prefer any other main weapon over it.

Is there a setting to stop them from picking up the grenade launcher?

@TheGamingVoid set "damage_other" in the settings file to 0

@ArrayOfHopeLive mb I should have been more precise. They will completely ignore a Tank right in their face as they prioritize grabbing ammo, rather than running around them
