Improved Bots (Simple)

This mod has been updated for the Last Stand update!

Summary

This addon makes several changes to bots to make them act more like human players and make them more reliable as teammates. They can use melee weapons, rescue you if you die, react quicker to a teammate being attacked by a special infected and much more.

Note: While this addon does improve the bots, it doesn't make them perfect. There is no way for me to fix every issue with the bots, but I have improved them in the areas that are possible. I realize they still aren't ideal teammates.

Features

• Bots can use melee weapons. • Bots will continue to play after you have died instead of ending the game. • Bots will react much faster to a player being attacked by a special zombie. • Bots can perform some simple actions, such as closing safe room doors. • Bots will move around a player instead of shooting through them. • Bots are much more likely to save their first aid kits for a player. • Bots will try to stay in a tighter group with the player.

Notes

• This addon doesn't block Steam achievements. • This version of the addon is ideal for single player, multiplayer with bots, or servers.

SourceMod Plugins (Optional)

Unfortunately, the modding system for this game is very limited. However, installing SourceMod will allow you to do significantly more with the game than a workshop addon ever could, through additional plugins. SourceMod is intended to be used for servers but can also be used for single player games! Here are some related plugins you may find useful:

• 200 IQ Bots Makes bots keep a safe distance from tanks and startled witches. • AutoHelp Help yourself up when incapacitated, rather than relying on the bots to help you. • Defib Using Bots Allows bots to use defibrillators to revive you if you die. • Gear Transfer Allows bots to pick up throwables and hand them to you when you aren't holding one. • Improved Survivor AI Autotrigger Teleports bots or triggers certain events for all bot teams so they can complete all official maps. • Survivor Bot AI Fix Increases chances that bots will shoot a special infected that is restraining the player. • Survivor Bot Sniper Rifle AI Fix Prevents bots from switching to their secondary weapon when being attacked from close range. • Survivor Bot Takeover Automatically take control of a bot when you die.
