I pretty much run everything on default except load_convars = 0 on left4bots2 setting.txt
I've been using this plugin for nearly two weeks.

The combo of "Survivor Bot AI Improver" (this SourceMod plugin) and "Left 4 Bots 2" (Workshop mod) makes playing with bots far more enjoyable. Here is a video of an All Bot Team completing Night Terror (by NIPPER and Dr.Boo) on Advanced difficulty, with no restarts!

Although there are MANY people/teams better than this, these bots do better than the average human players/teams that join my server, especially against tanks.

UPDATE:
Another video, this one showing an All Bot Team completing the Dark Carnival campaign on EXPERT difficulty, with no restarts!

UPDATE2:
This video shows an All Bot Team completing the Dead Center campaign on EXPERT difficulty, with no deaths or restarts!

I used this together with Left 4 Bots 2, but I'm confused by the weapons Survivor picks up
Is there any way to make the weapon data used by the survivor a Left 4 Bots 2 priority?

[Mystik Spiral]

@jack902

There are two things that immediately come to mind. You can use one or both depending on your goals and time:

1. Set the weapon priority in both programs exactly the same, otherwise the bots may get stuck in a loop...

pickup WeaponA for ProgramA
pickup WeaponB for ProgramB
repeat indefinitely

2. Increase the value in L4B2 for "pickups_min_interval" (default is 0..

Using method 1 is probably best. If there are no conflicts, both programs will be satisfied with the weapon picked up and move on.

Use method 2 if want to use weapon preferences from SBAII and mostly ignore weapon preferences from L4B2. It works because L4B2 will wait "pickups_min_interval" seconds (8.8 seconds on my system) after picking up a weapon before trying to pickup another weapon, and in that amount of time the bots have usually moved far enough away from the weapons table that they will not "think" about picking up a weapon.

[jack902]

Thank you. Okay, I understand.
I'll try both.

Not sure if it's just me, but for some reason I only kept crashing on the first map of Hard Rain using this, I only found out when I'm not using this plugin.
