Cross-posting this from the steam forums, as it got SurvivorAI working in Versus again!

I'm going to be testing this with the AI plugin here, because if the launch command works with it, then obviously we won't need sv_cheats 1 and sb_all_bot_game 1 to get it working!

Ok, I haven't had a chance to test the actual triggers and such.

However, with the added launch command, the bots will now advance through the level, picking up items and this plugin forces the sb_all_bot_game command as it used to without sv_cheats being on.

Will do more testing.

So allow_all_bot_survivor_team 1 is a command not a convar? I can arrange for it to be fake called.

It is a cvar. I set it on Round Start so that it takes effect.

I just put it in my launch options like the forum member suggested. That got the bots moving fine.

[AtomicStryker]

Its added now, anyway.

Causing Bot AI Behavior Very stupid

Couple of things to report, one of which might be of use.

No Mercy runs fine without the mod. All those problems the bots had in L4D1? Completely gone! They'll start all crescendos and finales without the plugin, which I found interesting. Guess that proves the AI is improved from L4D1!

DeC4, I know there's nothing you can do about the scavenge finale as the AI doesn't exsist. However, I have noticed that as long as a gas can is picked up and put into the car, the finale runs spawning tanks and such.

Not sure if it's possible to fake a call to force the hordes/tanks to spawn, just spotted that and thought it interesting, so decided to relay the information.

he said that you can make the scavenge finales run like holdout finales with stripper. however that's a whole different story not relevant to this plugin.

Might have to try that, but the last time I ran stripper AND this, the bots went absolutely nuts. Sometimes they wouldn't leave the safe room and other times they decided to headbutt walls as stripper put a wall there when there normally isn't one and they wanted to go that way.
