just make a friends-only game and start it

[rgarrett]

but you cant start the game with out someone on survivor i just want to be 2 infected so we can test stuff

director_force_versus_start

Or something like that. That forces the survivorbots to start playing. You might be able to kick them all, but the game would probably end...

To play as infected with a friend, make a lobby, get a human on both teams, enter the command 'sb_all_bot_team 1' in the console and then start the game.

If your friend can't switch to infected, try having him leave and rejoin - may only work for getting you both on the survivor team, in which case just finish the chapter and be infected for the other half of the round.

To play as infected by yourself is much easier. Go to the main menu and open the console: Start typing map l4d_vs and it should start showing you a list of maps. Pick the one you want and hit enter. I was infected my first try but that may have been luck. If you can't switch after the map starts, restart the game with the map command in the console or something.

I've had to use the command director_force_versus_start everytime to get the survivor bots out of the safe room but if that still doesn't work, use warp_all_survivors_here when you are in ghost mode to get them out.

Other useful stuff:
director_start
director_stop
director_no_survivor_bots

sb_dont_bash
sb_dont_shoot
z_removeitems
sb_move 1

You may want to change z_debug_tank_spawn to 1 from its default value which I think is 0. This means that anytime you use z_spawn tank it will be forced to offer it to a player. tank vs tank battles are fun.

Neat fact about the z_spawn command when you are still alive: If you put the word auto after it, you let the Director place it where it thinks its useful rather just where you are looking, like z_spawn mob auto, etc.

Thank You Geiss.
