Me and my friends were getting tired of the AIs, since they're too good at shooting down boss infected. Plus playing a 2 or 3 survivors only game seemed interesting. Gunning down the AIs was annoying and it left them crying for help all game long, so I tried figuring out how to kick them.

While I was working on that I found out a third person cam console option. Unfortunately the default settings mean you're not aiming at the crosshair, so I googled and found a better way to do it. To do both, simply create an "autoexec.cfg" in "\Steam\steamapps\left 4 dead\left4dead\cfg\" containing the following:

sv_cheats 1

alias tpToggle "tpOn;"
alias tpOff "firstperson; c_thirdpersonshoulderoffset 20; c_thirdpersonshoulderaimdist 120; c_thirdpersonshoulderdist 40; c_thirdpersonshoulderheight 5; cam_ideallag 4; alias tpToggle tpOn;"
alias tpOn "thirdpersonshoulder; c_thirdpersonshoulderoffset 0; c_thirdpersonshoulderaimdist 720; c_thirdpersonshoulderdist 40; c_thirdpersonshoulderheight 10; cam_ideallag 2; alias tpToggle tpOff;"

bind p "tpToggle;"

Then when you create a lobby make sure to set it to local, not dedicated server, and you can simply go "Kick Louis". (I hate Louis :D) Press P to go into or out of third person mode. You might need to hit it twice at the start of a new map.
