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. :(

Hello, my game keeps crashing everytime I use the !survswap command. Any ideas?

can you also make an addon where survivors/bots won't be left behind by the rescue plane, boat etc. coz when I play with more than 4 survivors. some bots would be kicked out from the rescue vehicle to die lol.

@Shadowsyn Yeah I'm getting this bug right now when I'm using !survswap, the character that I took over randomly gets stripped away from their weapons and the initial one starts t-posing trying to grab the pistol underneath him, I never had this happen before

Big reward sound sometimes not play especially for additional l4d1 survivors.

@Aeiou
I don't know why this bug happens, it's never happening to me so I can't replicate and fix it. Other people are getting this randomly that's tied to the survStartWeapons settings that stops once that's erased at the cost of removing the first aid kits the extra survivors spawn with.

Update: It seems that only the mutation called "Tank Run" causes this problem, I have no idea why it would be the only one to cause this problem unless having extra survivors somehow causes the pistol duping.

Shadowysn, I randomly started having this issue were whenever I start a campaign, 50 or more pistols spwan, sometimes outright crashing the game. Would you know anything about this bug?
