My thoughts and issues
Survivor bots actually seem less intellegent than before. they ignore common infected behind them when surrounded (literally just deals with anything in front of them, then leaves the commons behind them to shread them). Hunters seem to be the bane of the bots, in high pressure situations i noticed 1 hunter jumped on someone and instead of shoving him off, the other bots just ignored the hunter and caused that bot to die. I also got a pic of a smoker killing a bot and the bots just stared blindly at him. A few times i notcied they dont shove specials if they can be shot while they have a survivor CCed (typicalls smoker, but happens with jockey's/hunters as well). Seems their grouping is off sometimes where 1 bot will go off by themselves or get behind the group and when jumped the other 3 either stick to me or passively assist the caught bot (just shoot from far away, refuse to revive).

The changes to specials is absolutely amazing though. They really seem to be more aggressive and actually try to kill you instead of playing tag with melee attacks. Most notably with the hunters, as they will now jump from max distance to get the jump damage. Tanks are still worthless although now they dont walk backwards and can actually hit people with their attacks. Although in SP versus, i noted the bots will hide a lot until they can respawn makes attacking the survivors almost impossible.

Great mod, but i think the quote "You can't fix stupid" goes well here. Bots are just fundamentally stupid, but are moreso bugged with this mod on occasions, maybe i'll have to do some extensive playing to see if it's consistent or just choice issues with their scripting.

Just went into a versus game and took 2 pics of the bots not helping me (all they need to do is shove me free). I ended up at 1/2 health after going down before they helped me.

I noticed that you used Improved Bots (Advanced) along with this mod. Take note that those two mods will conflict. What's "bugged" here is utilizing two bot mods from the workshop at the same time possibly using vscripts as well. Also, you are given the choice of adding plugins to your l4d2 client if you needed more functionality for the bots or the whole game in general. Kindly check the F.A.Q. portion for more details.
