I can't compile HarryPotter version by myself because of this code:

I've been research and i think this is the right syntax:

stock void ScriptCommand(int client, const char[] command, const char[] arguments, any ...) { char vscript[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]; VFormat(vscript, sizeof(vscript), arguments, 4); int flags = GetCommandFlags(command); SetCommandFlags(command, flags & ~FCVAR_CHEAT); FakeClientCommand(client, "%s %s", command, vscript); SetCommandFlags(command, flags); } stock void L4D2_RunScript(char[] sCode, any ...) { static int iScriptLogic = INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE; if( iScriptLogic == INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE || !IsValidEntity(iScriptLogic) ) { iScriptLogic = EntIndexToEntRef(CreateEntityByName("logic_sc ript")); if( iScriptLogic == INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE || !IsValidEntity(iScriptLogic) ) SetFailState("Could not create 'logic_script'"); DispatchSpawn(iScriptLogic); } static char sBuffer[512]; VFormat(sBuffer, sizeof(sBuffer), sCode, 2); SetVariantString(sBuffer); AcceptEntityInput(iScriptLogic, "RunScriptCode"); }

I have compiled it to erase the annoying messages in the middle of the screen (Hints), keeping the chat messages code untouched. I have also changed the message "ammo is now zero" with "ammo out", nothing more.
If anyone wants the source code fixed to compile by himself, here it is:

Hello, Toranks. Do you know what value in the source file controls how quickly the bots react and shoot at commons and other things? the plugin is excellent and extremely useful, but it is also far too powerful, and the bots are like terminators, killing everything in their path and making the game far too easy. i'm just wondering if there's any way i can slow them down and make them do less damage. (just a little bit. )

I've been thinking about that, but the plugin is programmed to execute on a function that runs too fast and so far no one knows or has bothered to change it. The only thing I can think of is to add a timer to the entire plugin. But I don't know how to do it without breaking anything.
However, I adjust the ability of the bots by reducing the range at which they detect enemies. Especially sb_fix_ci_range and sb_fix_si_range. Try 200 or 300, that way they will only attack those who get too close (something the vanilla AI fails a lot), keeping the vanilla AI for long range. Also, this greatly reduces CPU usage.

That's an excellent suggestion. thanks Toranks! i'll try it! and, yeah, i really hope someone with enough knowledge and time comes along and rebuilds this plugin from the ground up because we desperately need something like it that runs flawlessly and has more features and control options.

Just tried this on my server and the bots appear to have 100% accuracy vs CI/SI. Maybe create CVARs where we can tweak it?

I have 8 survivors, but how should I set 4 survivors Bots to use melee weapons?

Theres a Cvar

sb_max_team_melee_weapons                : 0        : , "sv", "cheat"  : The total number of melee weapons

Bot will count how many melee weapon in team and pick loadout depends on that. EX: 1 human have melee then 3 bots will pick melee (when set to 4)

Yes, I always use this Cvar, but when I used this plug-in, the Cvar has failed. Only one Bots picks up melee weapons.

Even with this Plugin, that cvar still work fine for me. And this plugins dont have anything about force bot pickup melee >.>
