I would love to have the bots' name be randomized, chosen from a list that we make. Similar to the "human special names" add-on. Can you add this?

thanks, i can now have the true l4d2 experience of infected being the most toxic most mean people while the survivors are chill

read thechat below L4D

is there a way you could make it so that a bot can respond to player's messages

@Pest
A rework of this addon is in progress. Will have a delayed chat response.

@NoSbY_TV
Translations is in the works for the rework version.

french translate ?

can you make them kinda delayed? its weird that its instant

coach called me a ballsack sniffer

10/10

@Pyri Ok, thank you. All I know is that I can change the name on the head of the survivor, as well as the name of the killing special information and the name of the settlement interface after the rescue. If there is an extra mobile phone, its name should be displayed only as Nick(2) or Bill(4), right? I really don't know how to change the names of man-machine survivors displayed in the dialog box. No one seems to have asked, but it is very important for me to change the name of the man-machine survivor. I think the changed name is completely different from the game experience with the original man-machine name.

Hi there. I know that you can change names locally with some file editing, but now I'm curious if it's possible within VScript to rename bots.. I'll try and look into that.

@Pyri Hello author, can you change the man-machine name of the survivor in this plug-in to your own designated name? (For example, change the name Nick to Miku)Please.

@Ajiliffe
You can, but you could make a PR on the github, If you can.

hey, can i post my own version of this? ill make sure to credit you right ontop of the description in big text, i just have suspicion this doesn't get updated anymore (i would just add more lines to existing categories)

Simple as can be.

@Leonel
Hmmm, mostly to change Bot Names, you do need to edit the English file, but I do wonder if it's possible in the realms of VScript... We'll have to see. What guide or tutorial did you use to try and change the bot names?

@PHOBIE Bye! Thanks for announcing you'r leaving.

forgot to unsubscribe from this unhelpful dev and discussion

Any way to rename the bot names in chat?
I made a mod that changes the bot names but since it's a simple edit of the l4d_english file, it doesn't apply to this.

@Metro
Technically? It'll probably increase the output of text from the bots.

does this conflic with trash talking survivors

I love it!
But I am a sensitive dude, their really mean, and it hurts me.
Good, but can't use.

it would be fun if you were able to update and fill the quotas ngl, especially the custom lines one especially if you could apply it to Special Infected

It can but you might get some funny moments of increased bot chatter. I haven't updated the addon in a long time, so I might get back and add some more text and more events to have them text.

Does this work with "Trash-talking AI Survivors (Commission)"?

Also don't listen to PHOBIE, this game lists of how many infected/specials you killed as well as tank damage and my friends and I have lightly roasted each other on common or special infected kills "My back hurts from all this hard carrying" and "Are you even aiming, we got all the kills!" (all in good fun)

Francis: We should play on expert more!
Me: you will be saying different if bot FF is on.

Nerd alert

Who is "we"? What's in it for you to harass me?

Phobie, just stop please. We do not care. Great mod, mate =)

My idea was first though.

truly

@Gudsun
Ahaha, that would be amazing to do.

now we need them using voice chat as a cherry on top

Who hurt you @PHOBIE? XD

Kill stealing is an issue in games where last-hitting enemies gives all or most XP. But L4D2 is a horde-game without XP; everything is a trash-mob. I have a (very clunky) XP mod, so with that it could make sense competing for kills, but it's not integrated for immersion and ease-of-use. Would need e.g. a countdown with audiovisual queues and reward mechanics.

I guess if you could capture hints from the campaign text and subtitles and generate contextual or procedural answers (or GPT answers) if would feel more natural. It could use progressive conversations with plot-hooks being advanced.

They don't sound like real players one way or the other, because the grammar mistakes are too far out (steal killing b*tch should be kill-stealing b*tch, i'm bored on how much you s*ck etc.), but also it repeats quickly with always the same spelling, and it's not what normally players say (e.g. "here pills", "alarm car", "witch", "care smoker", "tank soon", "lasers" "don't start event until all are here", "you shot me 3 times in one minute, wth bro", "you forgot your kit", "you forgot your kit again, wth mate", "why you waste kit on HP?", "dude, run, this is a gauntlet, they won't stop", "dude use pistol while i revive you").

Well, when you play a fast-paced game like Left 4 Dead 2, you don't have time for etiquette text chat communication. Everyone is in a rush to type, especially when getting attacked by Common Infected and Special Infected.

If I had them chat perfectly, no spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, it doesn't make them look real as players would chat in games. Some type normally, perfect grammar with punctuation, while some do not care, they just want to get their message across.

You'd be surprised on the number of games I played that people would complain about you stealing kills (even though it's a cooperative game), both campaign and in versus.

What I did for this VScript add-on is to capture what players would type in text chat. Not all players type in the correct way. If I made it like that for the bots, then it's unnatural. The various text chat that the bots say, came from real games and suggestions.

I mean they often just hurl broken english abuse at you, i had expected something more sophisticated

phobie, who shit in your food lmao

Tons of bad translation, and cringe being jealous of someone's kills.

if only theres a computer generated voiceover for the l4d1 and l4d2 survivors so it basically uses their voice but you can make them say the stuff thats in this mod for example but yeah, that would be cool and then you can have an animation reaction to by what you do or something

Huh. Thanks for reporting this, this is strange. I'll try and see if I could fix that.

Keep getting this error spammed in the console whenever I get hit by a common infected. Disabled all scripts to see if it was a script/mod incompatibility but it still happens regardless.

@ODSTvlogs
Don't worry. I won't stop updating this, just been busy with other add-ons I have in mind.

Man, I hope this will still get updates because this is funny af and makes playing alone so much better lol

Cute mod. I love it. ❤️

Falta un mod para que los bots nos den f1

@Maki Roll
Thanks, they should provide some great entertainment

I'm looking forward to using this mod! Good job!
