Ok I was able to try and I had to deactivate ALL the plugins and leaving only this plugin. The result was that it works perfectly, but when I put all the plugins that I deactivated again, it did not work again.

Right there I have the errors that I throw when the plugin does not work for me:

Here is what I noticed about the sp file of the plugin.

	if( !g_hDetour ) SetFailState("Failed to find \"BossZombiePlayerBot::ChooseVictim\" signature.");

That looks like it's already been patched. Do you have "l4d2_minigun_victim" or something running patching this already? Or maybe you have 2 copies of the plugin running.

Maybe you have other plugin messing with the gamedata in memory,
Try to check your gamedata folder for these signatures and disable any plugin using the same name.
Then test again.

@Silvers @Marttt - OMG as I could not notice it before, I look like an Internet Explore. I just removed a plugin and in the end it works perfectly.

All because there is precisely a plugin that I already had and it had the same gamedata file that Silvers told me.

Smart AI Tank

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2711270

Now if it works perfectly. Thank you very much and sorry for the fuss

Last thing: I don't know if it's worth allowing this plugin that I told you to conflict with to match together? Or is it not necessary? Since that plugin that I had allowed to improve the Tank:

This plugin improves AI Tank behaviour. Now he ignore the Survivors who using mounted machinegun.

Now Tank find as target nearest survivor.

He don't let you cut his back by melee.

Also by Cvars he can ignore or choose as victim vomited and incapacitated survivors.

If you set Cvar to choose as victim incapacitated survivors then AI Tank will be chasing nearest incapacitated survivors only on Hard and Expert difficulties because he can kill them fast.

If you set Cvar to choose as victim incapacitated and vomited survivors then AI Tank will be also chasing nearest survivor who been incapacitated or vomited.

I do not know if it is worth it or not because from what I see of this plugin is it very similar or is it the same but better updated? Anyway thank you very much!

[Silvers]

Nice well done! I don't see anything about melee weapons in that plugin and it looks like all the other features are covered by Target Override.

Of the 170 plugins that I have in L4D2. They all work perfect for me, and even the extensions. Thank you very much for telling me about the problem and thanks as always Marttt!

And forget what I said before wanting to make compatible the other plugin that I mentioned before. I have seen that both are the same, the difference with this one is that you apply to all the Specials apart from the Tank. And it is more complete and improved. Thanks.

Uploading this here until I can verify the gamedata is correct.

Please let me know if it works.

Updated first post with new gamedata.

Seems to crash when tanks are around.

EDIT: Scratch that, it seems to be working fine. The crash seems to be actually caused by this plugin. https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=315405
Latest update seems to have broken it.

[vikingo12]

I have this problem (with tank mostly):
When player disconnets(also when incapped) tank starts rushing to him to kill even if another survivor is super close to him

"tank"
{
"order" "1,3,5,2,7,8,9" // Preference: Last attacker, Vomited Special Infected, then Vomited Survivors, then Incapped, then normal Survivors.
"pinned" "15"
"incap" "1"
"voms" "0"
"voms2" "0"
"range" "0.0"
"wait" "0.5"
"last" "1"
"safe" "0"
}

[Silvers]

I've sent you a PM with some changes to the code, please let me know if that works.

2.16 (09-Sep-2021)
    - Fixed not reading the entire data configs "order" value when the string was longer than 15 characters.
