Description
“Adding the competitive spirit to the apocalypse”

CLICK HERE FOR THE NEW L4D BCL PLUGIN

[ARCHIVED] CLICK HERE FOR THE L4D1 VERSION!

Target Players:

EVERYONE

These bots are capable of escorting players effectively in easy, normal and advanced difficulties... As for expert, the player should be combat-ready at all times to support the team as a whole. With this add-on - you can treat every mode as if it is a competition to win. So good luck!

Info:

This is now a MODULAR add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 in order to improve bot reaction time and behaviors from the survivor side. The infected AI(Apocalypse edition) is now separated from the current implementation to allow players to easily enable or disable which team will have improved behavior with ease.

Also, CB+: Valve Extras is now embedded with this mod!

Survivor Bot Feature(s):
  • Faster surrounding area scan
  • Help pinned players quickly
  • Not too affected by boomer bile (though can still cause the bot to shove)
  • Can defend faster than usual in panic events
  • Bots can crown/draw crown the witch, with a shotgun, once startled(very rare occurrences during testing)
  • Bots can use melee weapons
  • Improved battle awareness
  • Bots can evade chargers(sometimes due to improved SI)
  • Bots can close saferoom doors(sometimes they lock themselves out and get teleported in anyway)
  • Bots are capable of finishing campaigns in some game modes without players(you may need the Auto-trigger plugin on some maps). ~ (AKA - They can continue by themselves when the player dies)
  • Player deaths don't trigger restarts as long as a bot lives.
  • Better survival tactics when facing a tank.
  • Tendency to fire auto-shotguns/combat-shotguns faster.
  • Tendency to favor sniper rifle usage.
  • Bots can think by themselves on what to do(tendencies to not always follow the player)
  • Bots can attempt to save players from being pinned while incapped(pinned teammate/S.I. has to be within visual range)
  • Bots can defend players that revive incapped teammates.
  • Bots have the tendency to stop reviving incapped teammates when a tank is in close proximity
  • More changes have yet to be seen... Just see for yourself!


If you want to check on how the Tank(bot) plays out, then view the preview video at timestamp 3:50 - 4:43

If you plan to bundle this with Sourcemod(modded Dedicated servers/modded listen servers) then here is a list of recommended plugins that I use for my dedicated server.

Recommended Survivor Bot Tweaks without the use of plugins/sourcemod:


4/8/2016(April 8, 2016) - Turns out there are many dedicated servers that are starting to use this mod with slight modifications from the day of its release... Thanks for supporting this mod(even though a lot of you guys don't leave ratings) even if you use your own "tweaks".

Author’s Note:
This mod was intended to be used on dedicated severs. Also give credit to where it's due on other content creators as well as this. Lastly, don't submit this mod anywhere as your own.

Dedicated server crashes 100% of the time if these conditions are met:
1-Sourcemod is installed (v1.12, even with zero plugins)
2-CompetitiveBots addon is installed on the server
3-You start a new game from "Play campaign" -> "Play with friends" -> "Create new lobby" -> "server type = Steam Group Server" and selecting any vanilla campaign.

The moment you click start game and choose your group server, the server's srcds.exe console window insta-crashes

Also happens with "Left 4 Bots" 1.0 and 2.0, but does NOT happen with "Improved Bots (Advanced)"

Those are plugins they are optional. You just install the addon.

I'm confused:
Should I just install the Addon or the L4D BCL Plugin that is linked in the Description?
Heckyl 19 Sep @ 9:15am 
I dont know man. I dont think so the addon might be causing it. I installed the addon and the survivor bots worked fine. Must be a problem on your end.

Hello, why survivor bots are fully disabled if i pipe-bomb thoroved? They just stay, not shooting at infected, not protect against special infected.
Heckyl 4 Sep @ 9:37am 
I see.
Hakurei Reimu 4 Sep @ 12:24am

Bro if you are having so much problem with these how about you go and try those left 4 bots ai instead. They are much better a lot less buggier as well. Give em a try you will like it.
