@Phoenix Rose You're a hero man thanks <3

whoa ty phoenix i was having that issue too

@Y-17

go into the "left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\ems\left 4 bots 2

and find the "settings.cfg" file. in here look for this line

lead_pause_behind_dist

set this from "250" to "0"

when you do this, if you then tell the bots to "wait" they will no longer follow you after you walk like 5 steps away unless you use the "together" voice line. or if you still want them to follow you at some point, increase this distance from 250 to like 1000 as an example

bots wait command simply doesnt work. you walk more than 5 feet away and they sprint back to follow you..

Great mod for making the bots viable in singleplayer. Not perfect as they can still do stupid things or path finding issues, but makes the bots much better. Even beat some campaigns on expert realism with help from these bots. Works fine for me except for one minor issue that someone else also mentioned. At the start of each map, the bots automatically lead? Not too much of an issue as I can cancel all their commands but a bit of a hassle to do so at the start of each map. This only seems to be a problem on official campaigns. I don't remember having this issue before. I tried disabling all bot game and all bot team in the settings to no avail.

mod is working perfectly for me. bots lead when i tell them to lead which is good. and the wait command is also working as well.

it seems that maybe people might need to actually fully re-install Left 4 Dead 2 in a "clean slate" and then only have these 3 mods installed to fix some of these issues they are having.

i noticed that after i did that the bot mod was working much better

They don't lead anymore

Question, do the bots heal themselves by default or I have to command them?

@smilzo thanks man, I'll try to figure out what add-on might've conflicted with it.

@Eeyore other addons can cause that if they throw vscript errors in the player_death event. There was at least one i don't remember the name. Unfortunately i can't do anything about that.

I noticed that the bots are not using the defibrillator sometimes, is there any way that I can fix that?

It doesn't work when I give them orders to lead.

I highly agree, Arkade!

I love this mod so much! Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece! Quick question though, I notice the bots don't really do well against the tank, so im wondering what type of settings i can change in the cvars/settings file to make them become more aggressive against a tank so that way they don't have to die or be incapped most of the time. Thank you! :)

why do the bots run off on their own when playing the offical maps? its as theyre always in 'take the lead directions'

100% worse than vanilla bots.

Steal all the items then don't even keep up. One bot will always purposely lag behind then get downed so the other 2 dumbfucks go back and get themselves killed or they move as slow as possible. I'm half way through a chapter and they're still near the start. There needs to be a way to force teleport the bots to wherever the player is as soon as they stray too far behind. This has been a thing for years on servers to stop rushers so basically do the reverse for the bots.

@LilLovebird #FixTF2 you can't have both L4B and L4B2 enabled at the same time, you need to choose one and disable the other.

@LilLovebird #FixTF2
pls change “loglevel” to 4 in "ems\left4lib\cfg\settings.txt" first, and post console log in here [github.com].
thanks.

The bots seem to really struggle with opening doors sometimes.

My commands (voice line, chat, and console) aren't working either. L4B1 works fine, even when I have both v1 and v2 enabled, but without v1 it doesn't function at all. I also noticed that messages that bots would send in chat in L4B1 aren't present either. I'll provide a console log if needed. I'd assume it's an issue with Left 4 Lib but I really don't know.

does this work online

@𐃫 Choose one of them.

@WellDare Maybe bots has defibrillator and want save louis. You can use vocalizer "Stay Together" let bots give up.

What happened to the bots? I was playing “no mercy” and Louis died in the building after which all the bots just started running back and forth and didn’t want to obey and go into the elevator, I looked they started jumping and standing against the wall (((

also the bots stopped doing the Cola quest in L4B V1

if I run this with L4B V1 would the game get screwed up?

Coach got Pummeled by a charger and rochelle didn't even shoot him instead she gets pounce by a hunter wtf is that?????

@ItsWhateverHere
what? could you provide the full console log? pls post it in here [github.com].

Commands and vocalizers still dont work on the first map, the second maps work now however

@Lim you are an absolute legend thanks for the help it work after i played a campaign i went out and checked it and it worked thanks a lot

@lim thanks i'll give it a try and let you know how i go

Guys there was indeed a problem with recent updates that made all my addons stop responding to commands after loading the second map. I just updated Left 4 Lib with the fix. Let me know if it's fixed.

such a great addon than l4b v1, new functions, new commands, way more cooler for my solo gameplay

@coolswag Disable every addon except Left 4 Bots 2, NavFixes, and Left 4 Lib. Then play a campaign and see if bots stop switching weapons in an infinite loop. If yes, there is a certain addon in your game that is conflicting with the L4B2 addon.

it seems that the commands and vocalizers broke on this update since none of them are working

@Lim its on 1, always has been

bots are so useless, i swear they don't even stay near me, i'm like "stay together!" and they're still dicking about, slow as shit bots that don't even follow the player

has potential, but the addon is kinda redundant as SP can't be played with it

So the vocalizers and some commands are not working, I wonder why...

@coolswag check if items_not_to_avoid = 1 in your settings.txt

@Angel Of Death Play a Campaign first so that L4B2 can generate a ems folder for you.

I straight up have no idea where the file is it just is no existent for me i check ems then poof doesn't exist

so, why do bots sometimes have stuff on their feet? i honestly dont know if this is an option that i can disable or if its a bug, ive had it since the mods release
bots for whatever reason keep on switching between weapons, throwables, etc (if available) for no reason and it makes me warp them so i can keep progressing

@smilzo Got it. Thanks for the help

@Simon Henriksson it works fine for me. Make sure Left 4 Lib is the latest version.

The vocalizer commands don't seem to be working for me after the mod got updated. I hope you can resolve the issue and keep up with making this mod great.

@mjeivillamin07 use "I'm with you" vocalizer command instead of "Lead"

i have a question, why when i tell the bots to lead the way they stop at an event or like they wont activate stuff like generators and stuff like that. Is there a way to automatically make them use it? cuz i saw that the bots CAN activate stuff when thebots are solo and there are no players, or i died.

Cool

@Xenorvya no

Does these updates overwrite the previous changes I've made to the convars and settings files?
