Alien Swarm hacking

The easiest way would be to have it indeed as a toggle-able key. In this example I'm using F7

First, you have to go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\alien swarm\swarm\cfg and create an autoexec.cfg file. If it already exists, open it.

Then add these lines to the file:

sv_cheats 1
alias fps "firstperson;asw_hide_marine 1;asw_controls 0;bind F7 tps"
alias tps "thirdperson;asw_hide_marine 0;asw_controls 1;bind F7 fps"
bind F7 fps

Now you simply have to press F7 to toggle between first person and third person.

By the way, there is no skybox, so the sky will simply be very white, and you can't do hacking in the first person. You'll have to toggle back if you're a Tech.

Note: if the above path doesn't work, try replacing Program Files (x86) with Program Files.

To add a bot to your game: cl_selectm (marinenum) (slot)

To remove a bot from your game: cl_dselectm (marinenum)

(marinenum) should be between 0-7 and corresponds to the character to be added.

(slot) should be between 0-3 and relates to the player slot the bot will fill. -1 can also be used; this will fill the next available slot.

These commands must be used while in the lobby; using them anywhere else will result in invalid command errors.
