[kooper990]

that is also true. BTW, I wish for another feature for this plugin; we can set the options to allow what items for bots to throw at the tank, and perhaps change where they exactly throw the item -- like say at the general direction of the incoming horde?-- otherwise, they made the strategy worse

[NeoTM]

I did few tests yesterday and i had 2 times my server crashing ans stuck in a restart loop.

I reboot my computer ans start the server but it was restarting every 10 sec and the console write a segmentation core error (or something like that)

I had to uninstall the plugin to be able to have my server to start.

I will do more tests tonight (with and without "action" and without gear transfert.

Update:

My server crashed again and i manage to copy the content of the console.

[valedar]

author, thanks for your wonderful plugin, really, but please, please correct your mistakes properly, the server really crashes because of it the plugin is really great)

[Mystik Spiral]

I am afraid I am going to jinx myself by saying this, but I have been using this plugin since before it was posted on AlliedModders and I have never had it crash my server on Windows (but I have had plenty of exceptions reported). I wonder if those of you getting server crashes are all running Linux?

[chungocanh12]

thanks for your wonderful plugin

[Silvers]

This is a modified version of 1.4 - I sent to someone and they reported it no longer crashes.

Author: please compare to see the changes.

Calling some natives before OnMapStart seems to be the crash. The next left4dhooks update will simply block the calls but for now you can add these checks into your plugin (and since some others maybe slow in updating left4dhooks). L4D2_NavAreaBuildPath and other NavArea natives, and a few other things.

There are more things that could be optimized, I haven't had time to go through and write anything about it.

Does anyone have a potential bug where the bots never picks up the Grenade launcher and or M60? there is no weapon pref. option for them, so....

I have seen them pick up tier3 weapons.

Run these two commands on the server console to verify the values:

sm_cvar l4d2_improvedbots_tier3weaponlimit_grenadelau ncher
sm_cvar l4d2_improvedbots_tier3weaponlimit_m60

Yes, the grenade launcher is ON 1. The M60 is disabled on my behalf.
