I created a brand-new collection to remaster and enhance the original game experience, which includes this mod. Check it out at the following link: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3421354187

Hay mods mejores para esto

This mod causes game to crash when playing L4D1 campaigns for everyone concerned due to Sb_transition being set to 0. I will be unsubscribing until a fix is made.

during the mall level, the bots dont shoot the zombies
Ajiliffe 27 Jun, 2024 @ 1:22pm 
even in online play without this addon where the server doesnt have this addon but you do it still hides it
Ajiliffe 27 Jun, 2024 @ 1:22pm 
this hides the death screen upper watermark? like the one that YOU ARE DEAD
it completely gets rid of it why

I still didn't get an answer from anyone, I been waiting years to get my final achievement "Strength in numbers", do these bots or the advanced ones work for a teamscavenge map to get that still?

They really shouldn't be dumber. Either way, I think this mod is pretty much obsolete at this point. It hasn't been updated in over a decade and there seem to be better bot mods now (haven't tried any of them myself). I don't mod this game any more, so I'm not going to update this mod with new features.

I would recommend trying some of the newer bot mods with more features, combined with some of the SourceMod plugins listed in this mod's description. Those mods are from a decade ago as well, so there may also be better SourceMod plugins now.

bots are way dumber

I periodically observe errors. and also, my surviving bots disappear when someone from the survivor team leaves the game, they just disappear.

Amazing mod, it makes single player fun. However, it causes my game to freeze at random after playing a few maps :(
Trunten 6 Jan, 2024 @ 8:03pm 
they do not use molotovs
see previous comments
it's a modified server plugin
Laguna 6 Jan, 2024 @ 8:01pm 
They do not pick up melee weapons, but during the fueling up the car level, they are throwing Molotovs constantly so the canisters keep respawning making it unplayable
PhantomIceKing124 4 Jan, 2024 @ 10:58pm 
When ever there is pistols and melees they aways take the pistols and never the melees? help?
DEATHSCALATOR 14 Dec, 2023 @ 5:22pm 
can you make one where the surivor bots act selfishly like keeping healing items to themselves and friendly firing back and such?
Beariest Bear 12 Dec, 2023 @ 12:29am 
Does this work for Strength in Numbers with the simple bots and no additional steps?
The atrium teamscavenge method, or is that only the advanced ones?
DEATHSCALATOR 20 Nov, 2023 @ 3:31pm 
make it so the bots aren't in the need to teleport continuously
pepperjackgayming 5 Nov, 2023 @ 1:37am 
How can I make achievement progress count while using this? I tried the "Spitfire" achievement several times, but no matter how many gas tanks I destroy as the Spitter, the achievement thing always says 0/20. :CassieAngy:
Ziggy  [author] 13 Oct, 2023 @ 10:20pm 
No, they cannot use throwables. You can use one of the SourceMod plugins in the description to make them pick them up and they will hand them to you if you don't have one.

Yes, they should take the lead if you stand still for a bit. There are some areas that they are not scripted to progress through so you will need to take the lead in certain spots. They are not capable of completing events either, so you will still need to do that.
Bravo 30 Sep, 2023 @ 6:58pm 
Can they lead the way?
ULTRANATIONALIST 13 Sep, 2023 @ 11:25pm 
Can they give you grenades?
THE SLENDERMAN 28 Jul, 2023 @ 11:55am 
bots will rarely heal you even if you have less then 25 health
Ziggy  [author] 20 Jul, 2023 @ 1:29am 
Yes
Teeheehee14 19 Jul, 2023 @ 1:30pm 
will this work with custom main menus?
Haigen 8 Jul, 2023 @ 5:27pm 
Bots can't use throwables with this addon. With the gear transfer plugin in the description above you can make them pick it up and hand over to you.
Ama 8 Jul, 2023 @ 8:36am 
can they throw bombs and pick bombs up?
scary orange 20 Jun, 2023 @ 12:19pm 
Alright thanks for explaining
Ziggy  [author] 19 Jun, 2023 @ 10:08pm 
This mod makes a slight change to the UI when in spectator mode. It's only to remove a message about the game being over because the game usually ends when only bots are active. This mod makes it so bots can continue on and even rescue you if you respawn in a closet (or you will respawn if they complete the chapter).

It's fine to use UI mods with this mod.
scary orange 16 Jun, 2023 @ 8:26pm 
for some reason this mod is incompatible with custom huds
TornadoGaming75 11 Jun, 2023 @ 4:30pm 
Is there a way to remove the feature of the bots not ending the game after the player has died? Its really annoying to have the bots get stuck in a place and have to restart the whole campaign because of it.
Sherm 15 Apr, 2023 @ 9:13am 
can add the bots using defib
Ralph The Frog 19 Feb, 2023 @ 4:25pm 
Crashes the server if you are using l4d1 survivors...

+ speed of help
- they are still stupid
- they can't run away from the tank
- they are running around like idiots

Can they throw grenades? I just haven't seen in the original do they do it?
Bane 29 Nov, 2022 @ 6:25pm 
I just want to check does this also make the SI AI level increase? Noticing infected being smarter than before
Haigen 10 Nov, 2022 @ 6:32am 
can it be that the addon changes cvar "sb_transition" to 0 ?
Neo 27 Oct, 2022 @ 2:10am 
for sure they don't waste the medikits! because they don't take any.... -_-' if they're at 100 health, they ignore the medikits, so at the start of every maps, they ignore the medikits and they ALL grab melee weapons.... :steamthumbsdown:
MeAgain 7 Oct, 2022 @ 2:24pm 
I haven't used any mods since I started online gaming steady in 1999. I played off and on before that. I decided to use this one for bots, because they are really stupid most of the time. I play single player almost exclusively.
At least they close the damn safe room door now, and carry melee weapons. Thank you for that. I wish there was a way to stop them from using health kits every time they are in safe room. They will have barely any health gone and use kits. This leaves me as the only one saving it for when it is needed a lot of the time. They do not do it on every campaign though. I wish there were settings like in some of the war games from twenty years ago. You could control what bots did.
Thank you for this mod. It will be the only one I use. I never used any mods for over 23 years. I also never crash or have issues with any maps. I don't care what my rifles or bots look like.
Thank you again for your hard work on this mod.:steamhappy::steamthumbsup:
Ziggy  [author] 5 Oct, 2022 @ 10:37pm 
Most conflicts will be because other mods also modify the gamemodes.txt file. Unfortunately, the modding system for this game is very basic and the file structure really isn't ideal for mods. Many mods will need to modify the gamemodes.txt file since it's really the only way of setting custom cvar values. The game can only load that file from one mod, so if you have multiple mods that use it they will conflict. Since it is a very common file for a lot of mods it means many mods will conflict even though they seem like they shouldn't. There is nothing that I can do about this.

to this day, this is still the most essential mod I've ever installed from the workshop and I honestly cant go back to playing with the vanilla bots because they're almost braindead by comparison. I've been subbed to this mod since 2014
star 2 Oct, 2022 @ 12:43am 
this conflicts with a lot of stuff it shouldn't be conflicting with, like bloody horror found footage mod and neungui minimal layer hud, why?
Acid (LSD) 30 Aug, 2022 @ 2:33am 
On single player, I loaded up a quick campaign of Dead center and jumped off the building to see if you could be rescued and you can! Didn't see them pick up melee weapons but we'll see if they do, they also stayed pretty tight as a group as stated which I liked. Overall this mod does most of what it says it does within just loading a quick level so give it a shot.
JustLivingLS 23 Aug, 2022 @ 9:34am 
That mod causes a character precache error when finishing a map on a local server
Nivestar 22 Aug, 2022 @ 9:51pm 
this is a suck, the bots run above the fire, freeze everytime and steal the healkits, the norma bots are better than that
