Teach them how to open doors

One of the bots gave me their medpack. they didn't use it on me, they handed it over to me... how can I do this? is this a normal thing in unmodded or is this something in this mod? or could it be another mod I have?

How do I get bots to not only follow me, but also go ahead of me or even overtake me, as in L4D1?

@jenarobinson head to ems/left4bots2/cfg/weapons and you'll find pages for each character, including during their appearance during the Passing. If you remove the grenade launcher from their lists, they won't pick it up. Check the add-on customization page linked in the description to learn more about it

Will there be update on this mod ?

"this update" was released 6 months ago

@goodguynick
Try changin' values of these settings in "settings.txt" to "0":
"incap_block_nav_radius",
"incap_block_nav_tank_range",
"tank_retreat_radius".

somehow made the bots worse this update

the bots actively charge at the tank instead of running away from it

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

@SYNYSTERLY tachyon
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?

the bots don't listen to the wait command

@Dylan The Spud

thank you!
and testing XD!

@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

ah nvm i found the solution, just need to download notepad++

When i about to edit the bots weapon prioritise, this thing came out : "楲汦彥歡㜴爬晩敬獟㕧㈵爬晩敬摟獥牥ⱴ楲汦ⱥ畡潴桳瑯畧Ɱ桳瑯畧彮灳獡猬楮数彲業楬慴祲栬湵楴杮牟晩敬爬晩敬浟〶本敲慮敤江畡据敨Ⱳ湳灩牥獟潣瑵猬楮数彲睡Ɒ浳彧灭ⰵ浳彧楳敬据摥猬潨杴湵损牨浯ⱥ浳Ⱨ異灭桳瑯畧൮⨊洬捡敨整本汯捦畬Ɫ慫慴慮昬物慥數挬潲扷牡挬楲正瑥扟瑡戬獡扥污彬慢ⱴ潴普ⱡ楲瑯桳敩摬猬潨敶ⱬ汥捥牴捩束極慴Ⱳ湫晩ⱥ牦楹杮灟湡瀬瑩档潦歲瀬獩潴彬慭湧浵瀬獩潴ⱬ档楡獮睡਍楰数扟浯Ɫ潭潬潴ⱶ潶業橴牡਍楦獲彴楡彤楫ⱴ敤楦牢汩慬潴Ⱳ灵牧摡灥捡彫硥汰獯癩ⱥ灵牧摡灥捡彫湩散摮慩祲਍慰湩灟汩獬愬牤湥污湩e'' on one of the survivor files(it also happened to other survivor files) anyone know how to fix this?

which command prevents bots from shooting at gas barrels

I have two problems. The bots keep shooting Boomers when they're near me, and they make a beeline for the safe room when close regardless of how dangerous it is, especially if there's a Witch in the entrance. I can't seem to find the settings in the text files, but if I somehow missed it, what settings should I change?

Pretty damn great...I can never get the 'follow' command to work though..anytime a tank shows up, I try to yell 'follow' or 'run' and it's usually fruitless

after i died the bots starting walking

i got incapped by a spitter near the bots and i died to bleeding out on the floor while the bots just sat around looking at me

@Dylan The Spud
for the bots grabbing ammo when a tank is around, what is wrong with that? the alternative is them not grabbing ammo, and then swapping to their pistol and or melee weapon because they "ran out of primary ammo"

Some issues I've found:
- Bots will try to grab ammo when there are other priorities (Like a tank)
- They won't enter the safe room when there are special infected about
- During the crane segment on Dead Air, they can't pathfind up to the rooftop you need to jump across to the lowered crate from
- They don't move out of fire made from white explosive barrels or the Leaker, if enabled

I like this addons. However, I found a big issue.
Sometimes, they were trying to find their own path, resulting to leave me alone. I tried to lead them to the right path but they kept trying to find their own path.
And sometimes, they got stuck.
As the result, I restarted the Left 4 Dead and everything became normal.

How do i make them revive me during tank? I hate it when i get downed while the tank is very far away and they jsut stand there like idiots

@DrHanMattan if you want to suffer just like you used to with default bots, here are some settings to turn l4bots2 just as dumb as default bots. Also delete all code in the settings_impossible and settings_hard files.

Left 4 bots 2 Brainrot edition:

dodge_charger = 0
dodge_rock = 0
dodge_spit = 0
dodge_spit_radius = 90
enforce_sniper_rifle = 0
fall_velocity_warp = 0
incap_block_nav_interval = 0
incap_block_nav_radius = 0
incap_block_nav_tank_range = 0
items_not_to_avoid = 0
manual_attack_always = 0
manual_attack_common_head_radius = 0
manual_attack_dual_pistol_nerf = 1
manual_attack_mindot = 0.98
manual_attack_radius = 500
manual_attack_saccade_speed = 0
manual_attack_special_head_radius = 0
manual_attack_wandering = 0
shove_deadstop_chance = 50
tank_retreat_radius = 0

And advanced ai mod is not better than Left 4 Bots 2

Is there anyway to assign more names to a bot when using commands? Say, for example, I wanted to be able to input "roch heal" instead of "rochelle heal" and still have Rochelle be commanded to heal.

@Trappist especially on Dead Air, bots will SPRINT into the fire, even with tanks showing up

During the finale in No Mercy, I was on the roof but one of the bots spawned back near the saferoom and was stuck in that area, constantly going back and fourth between heading to the elevator shaft and the saferoom. The only other Survivor AI mod I had (besides Left 4 Lib and Navfixes) was NB's Simple AI Improvements.

bots all ran into the fire that they threw and died on the finale of expert parish

hey devs? since you have a "spit_block_nav" setting in game, can you also add a "fire_block_nav" setting? this would prevent the bots from running into the fire in the default campaigns that have fire hazards by default.

i notice that one to 2 bots on dead center will run through the fire when they get into the "kitchen" area of the part that is on fire when there is a safe way around it

They seem to be suicidally obsessed with running into molotovs. It almost seems like a bug - they'll be standing around, chilling, but the precise moment they see fire, they will drop everything to specifically and deliberately kill themselves with it.

They do the same thing with environmental fire. I'd think its just dumbness but it really does seem deliberate.

Anyone knows how to make the bots stop shoving allies when low health?
Also thanks a lot for the mod man

these bots are trash

@inikika18
You need to use the "I'm with You" vocaliser command instead of "Lead" command. Only then the bots will pickup Cola, press Elevator button, pour gas, etc on their own.

@Burak
Navigate to "...\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\left4bots2\cfg" then open the "settings.txt" file.
Set "throw_molotov = 0", "throw_pipebomb = 0" & "throw_vomitjar = 0" then you're good to go!

Idk if it's just me, but the bots seem to be unable to complete the Finale on The Passing and the crane section of Last Stand? They have 0 other issues with other maps that I've encountered, but whether I am dead, alive, spectating, using automation, etc... they just walk in circles?

Are the NavFixes completely necessary for the mod?

In general it seems most of these bot improvement mods are a little too effective. I don't really care for how braindead they are by default but I don't like how powerful most of these mods on the workshop make them to overcompensate. Seems hard to find that Goldilocks zone.

Also for anyone who was wondering like I was the "manual_attack skill" setting I've seen people mention in threads and videos has now been changed to be several different variables. While it allows more fine tuning in theory I wish there was a simpler way to adjust the bots performance as they make expert and expert realism too much of a cakewalk by default.

I still think the "Advanced Bot AI" mod is the best I've used so far

I never knew how to make bots use defib on slot 5 :(

so i got incapped by a tank so the bots threw a molotov at it to kill it and after they killed the tank they ran through the fire and all got incapped

this are the shitiest bots that i've seen they don't help and leave you die

probably 95% conflict

yes

As of this week, the bots are getting stuck randomly in various campaigns. Would this mod conflict with nav mesh mod?

how to disable bots from throwing pipe bombs, molotovs, bile bomb?
