// Stalker Mode mini mode //
Ok finally got it to a state where I'm willing to spread the love. This mod aims to change the experience of L4D once more and at the same time drastically increasing the challenge
The download now comes with 2 .exe's. One to install the mod and one to put back the L4D defaults.

// Some Information //
The most unlikely story line eva! :
A while has past since the infection broke out, and 90% of the world is deserted... or so it seems......However a few people still roam the desolate cities
fighting for survival agaisn't a new, unseen enemy......the 'stalkers'. The infection has evolved causing the hosts to de-materialise, making them appear
semi-transparent. Luckily for the survivors, a colonial marine supply ship from the future warped into the present day, exploded in the atmosphere and
scattered its cargo of M4A1 Pulse Rifles and motion detectors across the earth
// STALKER MODE FEATURES //
* No common infected
* No survivor bots
* No specials infected, apart from the 'STALKERS'
* 3 types of 'STALKER' : Male Stalker, Female Stalker and the elusive Daddy Stalker
* Stalkers are semi-transparent which makes spotting them a challenge, listen out for the beeps of you motion tracker
* Male Stalker : Always moving and trying to outwit the survivors, they often attack in packs. Will use pounce attack
* Female Stalker : Lurking around the levels these deadly stalkers will charge the survivors immediately if they are seen. They have a fatal attack and can be identified by their glowing eyes
* Daddy Stalker : The most resilient of the stalkers and also very powerful. Be wary of the other stalkers in the area when focusing on taking down the daddy
* Custom Stalker spawn rotation script - no longer uses director. This gives a much more intense experience
* Survivors are slower, direction dependant
* New weapon : The Pulse rifle
* New weapon sounds
* Standard L4D weapons unusable
* Pulse rifle has 2 fire modes (activated by switching weapon) : 10mm automatic rounds and 30mm grenade / pump shotgun
* Unlimited ammo, but still requires reloads (99x10mm rounds, 4x30mm rounds)
* Melee swing much less effective with decreased range
* No item / survivor glows
* Reduced UI, displays only local health (as in my other mods)
* Faked Motion tracker to give a rough position and distance of the 'stalkers' - beeps get louder and faster when they are close
* No music
* Crosshair tweaked
* Friendly fire increased significantly - a burst from the rifle can incapacitate a survivor. This is quite a fun feature during the panic moments, I've seen a whole team decimated by uncontrolled firing.
* Pulse rifle can be fired whilst incapacitated - only 10mm rounds and with reduced accuracy
* First aid kit use time greatly reduced
* Revive incapacitated time greatly reduced - allows 'combat res'
* Custom Menu background movie with sound
* And loads of other smaller tweaks......
// KNOWN BUGS //
* Finales sometimes never end becomes almost like survival mode
* When restarting any of the first levels of each campaign, after dieing with Stalker Mode active, sometimes survivors will get attacked during the camera cutscenes
* If more than one person activates stalker mode then even more stalkers will spawn.... making it even more difficult
// STALKER MODE INSTALLATION //
// To install Stalker mode :
- Run 'L4D_Stalker_Mode.exe'
- Choose your '\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead' folder as the installation directory
- Install
// To restore L4D to its original settings :
- Run 'L4D_Restore_Default.exe'
- Choose your '\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead' folder as the installation directory
- Install
// To play Stalker mode :
- Run L4D
- Choose either 'Stalker Mode - Singleplayer' or 'Stalker Mode - Multiplayer'
- Multiplayer will only work if all the players joining the server have the mod installed, and that the server type is set to 'LOCAL'
- Once the game has started, players can equip the Pulse Rifle via the radial menu command 'Equip Pulse Rifle'. This can be found on the first radial menu. The pulse rifle firemode can be changed by scrolling through inventory. It has infinite ammo so no need to pick up any other weapons. L4D weapons will no longer work. You will need to re-equip the Pulse rifle every time you die.
- To initialise the stalkers, at the start of the game 1 player (usually whoever is running the server) must use the radial menu command 'Start Stalker Mode'. This can be found on the second radial menu. Make sure that only 1 player uses this command, as if its started more than once then it will mutiply the number of stalker spawns also. If accidently started by another player make sure they use the radial command 'Stop Stalker mode'. Once initialised, you wont need to activate the command again until you quit L4D, even if changing level.
// Notes :
- Backup anything that you have already customised in L4D, such as custom menu backgrounds, autoexec files or radial voice menus
- Stalker mode is intended to be played by 2-4 players, it is possible to play singleplayer however you will most likely be gang raped before you get the chance to get through 10% of any level.
Hope some ppl enjoy it as much as I have making it
