@Brian , I don't remember exactly, but "auto pickup" will make bots pick better/ preferres guns & items (examples: If they have T1 guns & there are some T2 guns, they'll pick T2 guns. If Coach has rifle & then there's autoshotgun, he'll pick autoshotgun. If Ellis has autoshotgun & there's a sniper nearby, he'll pick sniper). I don't remember about magnum, but I think it also works that way, like magnum is the top priority among other secondary weapons. So if you use a mod to make bots use melee, it's better to disable the "auto pickup" to prevent bot's confusion in picking items like that.

@kurochama, Does this mod cause every bot player to pickup a magnum instead of pistols? I use a modified version of the Improved Bots mod. That version lets two bot players use melee weapons. I noticed that Coach picked up the magnum. I had never seen Coach pick up a magnum. He replaced the magnum with a melee weapon. Then, he picked up the magnum again. He couldn't decide which weapon to keep. That's what happened when I had the Auto Pickup feature enabled.

@Brian , yeah, item auto pickup & auto give are based on the default item slots. So, if you use a mod to change some item slots, it's better to disable item auto pickup & auto give.

This mod does improve a bot player's ability to avoid Spitter Acid. Spitter Acid is actually worse than friendly fire for bots. The regular bots can't seem to avoid it that well. This mod is not compatible with certain mods. I don't think it's compatible with Ten Inventory Slots. The bots would pick up grenades, but they would not give them to me even if I didn't have a grenade. Ten Inventory Slots must be putting grenades into slots the bots can't recognize. I had to disable the Auto Pickup and Auto Give features. That's not a problem for me. I don't really need more grenades from the bot players while they are trying to kill zombies.

appreciated

@HazyAPI , start Singleplayer or start a map by hosting a local server. Then check in "Left 4 Dead/left4dead2/ems". A folder with similar name of this mod will show up there.

its a vpk.file .;where is the cfg file?

thanks

@mikecj9 , you can disable it from the cfg file though. Look for "Item Auto Pickup", & set it to 0.

@kurochama can we have this but without the item auto pick up please ?

well I just think that the acid damage is a little bit much

@something something house , bots can run from acid, so why do you need to reduce acid damage?

can you add an option to change the acid damage?

TQ

@Sultan Abu Al Pepsi , it basically has similar feature as that on "Merciless Bots" as this mod is the standalone version of that feature on "Merciless Bots". So if you use that, you won't need to use this one.

If i have Merciless Bots Simple Version with the bot avoid acid cfg turned on, do i still need this mod ?

@kurochama Sweet! Thanks for the reply :)

@Lim , it should be compatible. Last time I tested on L4B1 together with other bot mod & it worked together.

is it compatible with the L4B2 addon?

Thank you!

@Pluvillion , you're lucky then. I recently updated Item Drop Bonus & make the "M60 No Drop" as a toggle in the cfg file. So if you want to use only "M60 No Drop", disable all features in the cfg except that one.

I'll now wait for the M60 no drop one.

@Pluvillion , yeah. I made it as a standalone version so people can combine it with any mods without having to use merciless bots.

One of Merciless Survivor Bots' best features.

Right, just downloaded the addon and got myself dissapointed with throwing a gnome around, sorry as you referenced this mod in our post we've been talking i thought it was implemented, sorry for misunderstanding

@Narco , that gnome turret is from my other local mod, not from this one. As for the exp system, both merciless bots & enhanced angry bots, but on that video preview, I used merciless bots (you'll also see chat commands there, & it worked. Probably in your case, there were conflicts with other mods so the chat commands didn't work). & the crazy weapons with explosion power comes from "Demolition Gunner", my another mod. Except the gnome turret, you can find them on my workshop.

Gnome feature should be mentioned in the description, otherwise amazing mod, may i ask if the XP system and crazy weapons are from merciless bots or some other mod you been working on ?

suggestion:teh tank next

@GreekGod , no problem. Glad that you like it. As for making bots to crouch or get away from crosshair when bots are in your crosshair, basically it's possible by forcing bots to press either Crouch button or some buttons for movement (W, S, A, D). But probably it might need some tests first to check for bugs, as probably there could be some bugs that need some adjustments to fix them.

ty for the mod, these are very annoying stuff thats very easy to notice. suggestion: i had one idea of making when you aim close/towards the bots, they would crouch or get away from yor crosshair, as sometimes they get in very bad situations where you can only shove the infecteds from them
