Improved Infecteds AI

I was making a mod that improves the Boomer behavior cuz i found him weak and then i thought to myself why not improving all specials?

This mod improves the specials and bosses (Tank & Witch) behavior and makes them more powerfull

I Also have made a seperated versions for each infected, see Improved Infecteds Collection

can you split these up? I have witch AI, hunter AI, and Tank AI already, just need other specials separate.

I love me some Challenge tho

Yes I have no problem with that. This is meant to make them more active than vanilla.

@Altars Of Apostasy
thats the point xd

very good mod, but i believe that the smoker is WAY overtuned. he pulls you away too fast. and the charger is able to teamwipe from just a normal charge since he launches everyone way further because of his enhanced speed

Мод имба даже на легкой сложности трудно, мне понравилось:steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:
Kenny Mar 25 @ 1:03pm 
Yes, it does change things like that. There are multiple types of infected, such as a jockey that has full control but does little damage, and a jockey that does more. I think your mod is simply on top so no matter what of enemy TADM chooses, your buffs are always going to be there.

@Kenny
hi there
for the "The Alternate Difficulties Mod" mod i can't really tell if it will conflict or not but if it changes any infecteds settings like range speed or other infecteds behavior then yes they'll conflict

for the bug i have really no clue why this happens, my mod has completly nothing to do with callouts/voicelines so 'maybe" it conflicts with other addon that you have resulting in this weird bug :)
