forget it, i solved it. You just need to type: map mapname spectatormode

Do you have to use "<" and ">" or " ' " and " ' " for the campaigns?

i've been looking at the comments on this thread, and i'm glad someone has pointed out the bots getting stuck on chapter 4 of death toll. it always irritates me whenever the forklift crescendo starts, the bots suddenly lose their sense of navigation and just stays on the flipped over bus area fighting every oncoming horde until they eventually die one-by-one. i'm assuming this is because the crescendo is automatically triggered without anyone interacting with the forklift, which somehow affects the bots' path-finding ability? i wonder if it's possible to turn off the auto-crescendo thing, perhaps it will make the bots better at identifying their surroundings.

Would be better, if we can see auras survivors and infected.
Mod works for me.

The first map of the campaign is fine, I can cycle between bots freely and spectate them.

However, once the second map of campaign is loaded, the game sticks my spectating to Louis/Coach and shows "Press left mouse to play as Louis/Coach".
- no more free cycling between bots
- no more free-look spectating

btw since sv_cheats is enabled by default i found a command to switch the difficulty u can use "z_difficulty" and Advanced difficulty is labeled as Hard and Expert as Impossible while Easy and Normal Difficulties are still the same :luv:

Also, i don't know if it's just me,but i used "jointeam 2" on the console and the bots were following me just fine and recognized me as a valid teammate. I did not test it extensively however

I STRONGLY recommend using this mod together with the Left 4 Bots (Improved A.I.) + BOTS T3 mods to get the ultimate spectating experience. Watching vanilla bots trying to play the game can be... dreadful

I also recommend turning off the Director in the more punishing gauntlet crescendo events after a while, like the one in Death Toll Part 4 for example, because the bots prioritize fighting off the horde over rushing to the safehouse and this will often result in everyone getting killed eventually. Be sure to turn it back on once they make it to the safe house, of course

This mod works perfect and with mods if you launch it the correct way
Lying Sack Of Fun 15 Jun, 2023 @ 9:27am 
Mods don't work with this.
Owns 6 May, 2023 @ 10:24am

K 13 Mar, 2023 @ 5:21pm 
@Blue Do you know if there is a way to change the spectator camera's speed? Just thought I'd ask you since it revolves around this.

mod is fake, doesnt work at all
loganbarron 30 Aug, 2022 @ 12:04pm 
pls fix mod
Sylvic Umbreon 5 Aug, 2022 @ 12:46am 
much appreciated! it works like a charm, console commands work fine and scripts work well especially with other mods such as Advanced AI's, the only thing i ask is in the future add commands that allow us to reset the bots, there are a few times where i had cosmetic mods installed and it broke the auto-pathing for the a bot, causing it to try and obtain the item...give up for 0.2 seconds...then retry picking it up over and over again to no avail. it took me a minute to figure out that i could add myself in and fix the problem, but its kinda tedious having to do that constantly when you are supposed to be watching, not playing directly.

other than that minor gripe, this is a solid add on for those who like to take the movie directors spot for a nice change of pace

Found that out by accident LMAO
K 19 Jul, 2022 @ 6:03pm 
Also if you played a game on Advanced/Expert/Easy and then launched this mutation through console, it seems to replicate the difficulty instead of staying Normal.
K 19 Jul, 2022 @ 5:59pm 
This mod definitely still works..
GONORREIO ambulante 24 May, 2022 @ 2:46pm 
This mod doesn't work, I did the command in the console and it didn't work, this is a fraud
[CN]突击队队员 2 May, 2022 @ 3:42am 
custom map is support , just need some bot mod so they will use bottom.
[CN]突击队队员 29 Apr, 2022 @ 9:51pm 
use mod admin system if you need something.
K 26 Mar, 2022 @ 1:38pm 
Okay, thanks!

@Kie

Nevermind, I tried that and it doesn't work. When I'm free I'll take a look back into the script and see if there is anything preventing votes from being cast even when on the survivor team.
Blue  [author] 26 Mar, 2022 @ 12:26pm 
@Kie

Its not stuck at normal but that is funny lmao. I suppose a workaround is you could go into the console, join the survivors by typing "jointeam 2", call the vote, then go back to spectators using "jointeam 1".
K 26 Mar, 2022 @ 11:29am 
Can you change difficulty or is it stuck on Normal? It's okay if not but I tried setting it to Advanced and it just said Potential vote being called, and nothing happened LOL. It makes sense nothing happened since there aren't any players but yeah.
