that aside, turning off friendly fire overall causes a bug where bots can be friendly fired when fighting tanks or witches (or if you have a sharp melee)

Idk the cause behind that though.

+Crabby Cakes I mean, probably because the bots dont normally FF without mods, and bots have different AI and systems, so you have you add other systems just to make it compatible with bots, so not that mandatory unless you go for mod compatibility, the mod creator prob would make it tho as an extension to L4B2 or just an update idrk im not a mod

despite reflector working, it only faults players and for some reason doesnt count bot friendly fires in the actual campaign.

Is there a way to make it so bots only ricochet when they hit you

tysm for this !! helps alot when playing expert with trollers :froggu:

@Toffee Unfortunately you can't prevent that with this addon so it's a good idea to use an admin system when you play with randoms. When i host i also use Left 4 Fun, which has a few admin commands and a respawn command i can use in that situation.

What about if they jump off a high place or into water and die and then disconnect?
smilzo  [author] 7 Dec, 2024 @ 8:24am 
@Kenny i'm fairly sure that you have another addon causing it. Or maybe it's a combination of 2 being incompatible.It can also be this addon being incompatible with another one you have. I always host local with this and few other addons and i don't have any crash.
Kenny 7 Dec, 2024 @ 7:35am 
Yes, I thought so too. I am moving to hosting these on a dedicated now. Local servers are too unstable.
smilzo  [author] 7 Dec, 2024 @ 6:54am 
@Kenny i've been using this for years, no crash.
Kenny 7 Dec, 2024 @ 5:36am 
My game is crashing whenever molotovs are interacted with. At first I thought it was because of bots throwing them with left 4 bots 2, since it also crashed when they did it. But after disabling the molotov throw, the game still crashed once I just picked up the molotov, or even just held it at some point. This doesn't happen every single time you use a molotov, but only after multiple uses.

The only mod I have that tweakes the molotovs is this one here, with the ricochet. So this one is what I am suspecting to be the culprit.

very good map enjoyed playing it 10/10:steamthumbsup:

This is super useful, thanks! My only issue is that turning off fault notifications doesn't work. The command goes through just fine, like it *should* be working, but it still pops up every time I shoot a teammate. I made sure to use fault_public_alert = 0 and fault_admin_alert = 0.
puppy™ 28 Jul, 2024 @ 5:58pm 
not sure if you're still responding but I'm having trouble using this mod in dedicated servers. I'm a little stoopid. If you're willing, could you make a step by step list of the process? If not then that's fine <3

Tanks don't seem to be burning with this mod enabled.

Do you plan on adding something that destroys molotovs/projectiles when people go idle? There has yet to be a fix for the "throw a molotov/pipe/bile and go idle before it reaches the witch", because it renders her useless.
Crazy⚡️Horse 23 Feb, 2024 @ 1:58pm 
what briefer list??
smilzo  [author] 21 Feb, 2024 @ 3:42am 
@SiouxW4rrior sounds like you added yourself to the 'griefer' list
Crazy⚡️Horse 20 Feb, 2024 @ 6:29am 
for some reason my characters have stopped talking and it won't let my character talk when i use emotes
Fizzarolli 5 Feb, 2024 @ 7:27am 
I have the same issue, it works fine at first but it stops working later in the game
smilzo  [author] 3 Feb, 2024 @ 1:31am 
@DimTheEnderman what you mean it doesn't work? I have no issues with it when i host public games.
DimTheEnderman 1 Feb, 2024 @ 3:17am 
The ricochet doesn't work with more than one player connected ti seems.
DimTheEnderman 30 Jan, 2024 @ 2:10pm 
@Dropkix
Anti disconnect removes damaging entities (pipe bombs, grenade launcher projectile, fire, etc) when the player that caused those entities to exist disconnects. Revenge Kick auto kicks the player that votes to kick any one labeled as an admin and voids the vote.
D̸r̸o̸p̸k̸i̸x̸ 29 Jan, 2024 @ 10:18am 
So what does anti_disconnect_grief, and revenge kick do?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 22 Jan, 2024 @ 9:54pm 
can you make the notif "admin......joined the game" disabled?
Serge 4 Jan, 2024 @ 7:04pm 
Can you make bots take damage?
smilzo  [author] 6 Dec, 2023 @ 11:37pm 
@GS Mod In Play I loaded into survival no problem with all those mods a couple of weeks ago, are you sure it's this addon? Maybe you have some other addon that is not fully compatible with this one.
GS Mod In Play 4 Dec, 2023 @ 3:36am 
This Left 4 Grief mod along with the Left 4 Bots, Left 4 Lib and Left 4 Fun mods does not load the maps in survival mode, this Left 4 Grief mod is the cause of the problem, I have already carried out the tests to reach this conclusion.
smilzo  [author] 27 Nov, 2023 @ 9:46am 
@게임안해요 no this addon doesn't change that.
젤리 27 Nov, 2023 @ 9:17am 
I have a question about firework boxes.

Is “aggro effect” included in the add-on settings???

When I explode a box of fireworks, the zombies stand still without being affected by aggro, so I don't know what the problem is.
Warhawk 17 Oct, 2023 @ 12:07pm 
Alright, thank you.
smilzo  [author] 17 Oct, 2023 @ 12:00pm 
@Warhawk there are 3 separate settings for changing the ricochet damage multiplier for the normal, fire and explosion damage but you cannot enable/disable the ricochet for one damage type only.
Warhawk 17 Oct, 2023 @ 9:30am 
Is it possible to make molotovs and explosives friendly fire like normal, but cause bullet/melee damage to deal reflected damage, akin to the '[Anti-Troll] Friendly Fire Reflector' mod on the Workshop? That mod is good, but I'd optimally like the reflected damage to be 1x for Expert play, rather than the 0.66x included with that mod.
smilzo  [author] 27 Sep, 2023 @ 7:09am 
@viske_ ricochet_bots enable/disable the ricochet for the damage caused BY the bots to other teammates. At the moment there is no way to selectively disable the ricochet for the damage caused TO the bots.
viske_ 26 Sep, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
i have an issue with bots. Other players shooting bots gets damage back if i have "ricochet_bots = 0". How do i make these rules not to apply for bots?

@ChapCanai :D

That one day maybe the next day ;3
smilzo  [author] 16 Aug, 2023 @ 12:27pm 
@Xeno :] actually i still have the admin commands on my other addon Left 4 Fun. The plan was to separate them from both L4F and L4G. One day, maybe.
(^^^) Xeno 14 Aug, 2023 @ 5:52am 
I think the mod needs a player ban feature
smilzo  [author] 31 Jul, 2023 @ 7:33am 
@K to clarify: 0 on friendly_fire_admins means that any friendly fire coming from an admin will be disabled, regardles who is the victim. 0 on friendly_fire is to disable friendly fire caused by normal players (regardless who is the victim).
smilzo  [author] 31 Jul, 2023 @ 7:30am 
@K Values 1/0 mean 1 = ON / 0 = OFF. This applies to all the settings with 1/0 as possible values. In that case it means that the friendly fire is ON if the setting is 1, no friendly fire if 0. So yes, 0 to turn friendly fire off.
K 30 Jul, 2023 @ 5:05pm 
Okay ty that helps I was wondering if 0 meant they couldn't *take* damage. Feels like a dumb question but I just wanted to know
smilzo  [author] 30 Jul, 2023 @ 1:13am 
@K it's friendly fire from non admins/admins.
K 29 Jul, 2023 @ 4:55pm 
In the cfg what is the difference between friendly_fire and friendly_fire_admins? I can't tell if it means admins can take damage and not deal it or something?

ohh no wonder, thanks for answering and thanks for making this add-on :steamhappy:
smilzo  [author] 15 Jun, 2023 @ 1:00am 
This is a server side addon, the vpk files must be installed on the server's addon folder, this is why it cannot work on official servers.
