Podrias hacer una version en la que el daño del Tank si es valido, ay veces en la que todo se junta y da algo de risa como por una cosa random el Tank le mete un golpe a la Bruja en pleno desastre y por asi decirlo nos salva.

There is still a (very) small issue, the Witch can break open the last level's un-openable saferoom doors, I don't know if it's like that for all maps (some of the doors are covered with boxes or desks), but in Death Toll it looks like that:

You might have the old version of this mod. Go online (if that's somehow the problem) so that you can download the newer versions of this mod.

I talked about this to the creator on the mod's release day, the Witch was forced to have 1000 hp on the first versions, but Manacat updated the mod to reflect this, so that it allows custom HP (more or less hp then 1000) for the Witch.

I am using Left 4 Bots 2's "convars.txt" to new lines to the document like z_witch_health, thus allowing her to have 5K hp.

now it's work fine, thx to fix

Not bad. There's just something that bothers me. If I install this add-on, the other add-ons that can be used to increase the Witch's HP no longer work. The Witch, for example, does not have 999,999 HP. This combination of AI plus increased health works for the tank, but not for the Witch. A pity. Unfortunately this add-on is useless for me.

I still give it a thumbs up. For the appreciation of the work.

Also I think burning wandering witch can't climb yet again

@Xenorvya damn fix
Xenorvya 2 Jul @ 7:29am 
Mod works fine for me, but the new update has some sort of debug mode on, when throwing a bile I can see a red square & yellow square, and the Witch can still break open the previous level's saferoom door (that you can't open) if she somehow attacks it.
Maesʇro 2 Jul @ 3:28am 
The mod has stopped working

will you add a mod that witch appeared every round just like your "tank spawn 100%"?

GiraJorda 24 Jun @ 11:50pm 
can you make the witch incap every survivor then she leave?

thats reasonble
sstonkiee 24 Jun @ 8:06pm 
improved smoker ai when?
Xenorvya 24 Jun @ 2:29pm 
Found ANOTHER (small) issue. If a Witch attacks the saferoom door from previous level (entrance, not exit, the door without the metal bar), she will open it, and it leads to nothing bc there's no map her.
Xenorvya 24 Jun @ 2:21pm 
Lastly, I think deadlock doesn't work well with Wandering Witch. My boyfriend shot her (still at Death Toll), and we got the startle message but she went back to crying. Sitting Witch will get re-startled however. She also doesn't attack me if I burn a Wandering Witch and go idle. Although using bile or pipe bomb she will still get angry. Sitting Witch doesn't have this problem.
Xenorvya 24 Jun @ 2:15pm 
Also to follow up on the "can't push when climbing walls with jump animation", it does push me, but not if I stand back slightly, as my collisions will still prevent her from climbing. Tested on Death Toll church on the red "trains" at the start. If she's directly below me, she will push me, if I stand sland back a bit, she won't be able to get up to where I am. But you still did a good job fixing 90% of it.
Xenorvya 24 Jun @ 2:00pm 
I just tested, and the good news is that yes, when a Witch gets bugged after she incapacitates you when doing the land-hard animation, if someone else shoots her, she gets re-startled thanks to your deadlock feature. But if the startler shoots her, she doesn't care. (Although that's alright, most of the team will still shoot her when she's stuck and she'll attack someone anyway)
Xenorvya 24 Jun @ 1:51pm 
@MANACAT That's alright. You did well at fixing all other well known glitches. The only one remaining is when she kills/incaps a survivors while playing "land-hard" animation, which stunlocks her (maybe it doesn't need fixing, and your deadlock feature will actually re-startle her and fix that? Lol) but this is quite rare. That, and a Witch cannot attack while climbing, and/or she doesn't push you away. She only pushes me when she climbs a ladder or a wall using "ladder" animations. If she jumps to grab the top of whatever she's climbing it won't push me away.

brother you are just helping turn my game into a nightmare now i have 3 tank ai mods combines now i have 3 witch ai mods along with other hard mode type mods installed, my server is brutal and unforgiving thanks to these, once again youve done some great work my dude

@Xenorvya
I tried to fix that vomitjar issue you told, but it's difference with ignite witch issue, so i failed. the mechanisms seems to be a bit different each other.
Vyr 24 Jun @ 2:26am 
@manacat I wanted to say that the witch tells me it has 10k life. I don't know if it's true, maybe a bug in the boss scripts.

Thanks again and have a nice day.
MANACAT  [author] 23 Jun @ 7:15pm 
@Vyr
10k HP?? why you want like that
DEVASTATION 23 Jun @ 3:36pm 
Weird to think that the witch cannot break open doors by default despite being able to do so in the LFD1 opening, yet in gameplay for both of them its completely false.
RED_THE_KILLER911 23 Jun @ 3:12pm 
that will be boss like SCP-096 lol
Vyr 23 Jun @ 3:00pm 
I miss a cvar to change the hp of the witch, 10k is too much and only melee weapons are useful.

Please do the charger next man one of my fav specials

@Xenorvya
OMG
Xenorvya 23 Jun @ 10:05am 
Great fix for the ladder and burning wandering Witch, and the health cvar. Although could you do the same to bile? Throwing bile at a wandering witch will make her unable to climb (like a molotov), also, debug mode is on I think? I see "ACT_TERROR_" and then the name of the Witch's action like "RUN_INTENSE".
Zero_hunter 23 Jun @ 7:59am 
this is sick mod! the witch will be much more challenging

YEG 23 Jun @ 6:47am 
can you do smoker next?
Dark "Gene" Alex 23 Jun @ 5:36am 
Well, can't wait for every server to have this cause it's a menace
有钱没钱,称兄道弟 23 Jun @ 12:03am 
这个配合一个修改witch血量为2500的,威胁性更上一层楼。
Shadow 22 Jun @ 10:38pm 
gotta love this guys mods, gives the game a new challenge keep it up m8
🌻 Luucy 🌻 22 Jun @ 11:32am 
You're a very talented modder, thanks for your work <3
Himeno 22 Jun @ 11:18am 
since it is hard mode XD. it would actually make the witch scary again. it would be fun, I can't imagine if a host a local server in versus modes.
MANACAT  [author] 22 Jun @ 11:15am 
@Pomni❀
Then the survivor dies, why you want like that
Himeno 22 Jun @ 11:13am 
I want to ask, can you also add disallow crown witch, so the witch won't instant death. maybe it would only damage 250 or 500 health on the witch.
Himeno 22 Jun @ 11:02am 
understood, I love the mod
MANACAT  [author] 22 Jun @ 10:54am 
@Pomni❀
because if they help each other, witch dead too easily so i can't record demo video lol
Himeno 22 Jun @ 10:49am 
I love the survivors don't help each other
