L4D .cfg Mods- New ways to play!!! [Archive]

Nemesis_vs_Leon

11-11-2008, 04:43 AM

I have created a few .cfg mods to left 4 dead that all work in singleplayer perfectly. To make them work on multiplayer the starter of that server must execute the .cfgs

To execute them and invoke their effects type "exec <cfg name>" and remember you do not have to type "exec somethingawesome.cfg" you should only type "exec somethingawesome"

Console is enabled in options and opened with ~ key.

Here are the mods... just copy the text into a .cfg in your demo's cfg folder. That is, by default this directory: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead demo\left4dead\cfg

GO TO THE BOTTOM FOR AN AWESOME UPDATE!

First up is "My Left 4 Dead"
I hated the dazed hordes that you are forced to slowly shoot through! I just wanted to fight something! This makes them spot you instantly and attack with only a few stragglers who ignore you. I made this for myself and it works perfectly.

z_acquire_far_range "9000"
z_acquire_far_time "0"
z_acquire_near_range "500"

</div>

Next we have "Item Survival" that removes all items except upgraded weapons and ammo from the map and gives you a pump shotgun, 2nd pistol, medkit, pain pills, and molotov for each of your team members. You must survive best you can with only that equipment.

In the more obvious challenges is "xtr" which spawns constant bosses and continues a nonsensical naming scheme.

As you notice, I like my zombies to wander. I also appreciate a good horde or 10... or 50... or infinite! and that's what "xrt" does when it creates an infinite stream of normal infected!

I have no idea what xtr or xrt mean, but "Lone Survivor" sounds much more obvious. This is basically item survivor with the survivor bots deleted and being pounced/tongued is removed. Now, hunters are more a threat from rushing with their melee attack. This also removes the HUD and gives you a nice third person view.

This is the end now with "Comedy" that causes many hilarious things to happen. Only people with a sense of humor will truly have fun with this. Normal infected run VERY slow and are hilarious to watch as they desperately try to reach you XD

One final note, I created a final .cfg called "extremism" that does this:

exec xtr for bosses
exec xrt for hordes
exec suvi for item survival

combining all 3 is truly extremism as it is the hardest difficulty I have found in Left 4 Dead.

This concludes this episode of .cfg mods!! Created with the help of this site's cvar pdf!!!! Thank you for putting that on the site squerl!

EDIT: It seems the extremism .cfg changes cvars incorrectly because of conflicting values in xtr and xrt. Here is the full extremism .cfg in proper form.

I JUST found this while playing through No Mercy, finding all these Cvars and trying them all out as I went through! I restarted several times to test even more and finally came to this mod which is AWESOME!

Left 4 Dead is actually terrifying now with constant action and just enough time to heal and revive! Also, it's insanely hard and much more fun for it!
Enjoy, you definitely will!

I'm obsessed with messing with random stuff. I do that in ut3 when I mix mods and spawn in random stuff then blow it up then spawn it in again.

I also make ut3 mods of whatever I want and among the many many mods I have in it AND mixing most of them together at the same time, I just love picking random stuff to do and to alter it.

This is just the beginning now.

Remember that I do gameplay and not so much maps or graphics.

Hey Nemesis, would you mind creating me a server config that does the following?:

Expert difficulty
Horde have 3x HP
More waves of Horde appearing
Tougher bosses
Plenty of molotovs/pipe bombs/pills

Would be much appreciated, I had it working once but it doesn't seem to be taking effect since last nights patch, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Can u make one that puts the rarity of witches up HEAPS, lowers the amount of bosses and normal infected, gives u ONLY duel pistols and pain pills, also grenades really rare?
EDIT: also, survivors have not as much health, so if u desterbe a witch: YOUR GONE!

I suppose I'll contribute my own I made a few days ago. It makes the game a lot harder overall without changing the feel of the game. Read what it says in the *.cfg file to get a better idea of what it does.

The easiest way to get these working is to simply copy and paste the text into notepad and save it as whateveryouwant.cfg. Stick the file into steamapps\common\left 4 dead demo\left4dead\cfg. Then you simply launch Left 4 Dead, open the console, type "exec whateveryouwant.cfg" and then start up a game. Restart Left 4 Dead to set everything back to the default settings.

I have a config file request; I'm not sure what all can be done with the codes but something as close to this as is possible to do:

No Survivor Respawns (ie, survivors who weren't there before suddenly trapped in magical time/space altering closets when someone dies)

No boss zombies, only normal infected.

Normal infected move slowly, about 1/3 of max player move speed.

Normal infected kill with 1 hit.

No horde spawns.

No infected spawning behind.

Normal infected have alot more HP; say, 500% more.

AI Director spawns more (say, 200%) infected than normal (but not behind, and not in horde format).

Pistol Ammo not infinite, or pistol removed completely.

Thanks!

A traditional Night of the Living Dead approach is exactly what I want as
well. You gotta pay homage to the Romero. He invented this scenario after all.

Slow moving zombies

One bite or attack you die or are slowly killed as in the bleeding, but much slower than the bleeding.

No bosses

More masses of slow zombies.

Limited ammo.
I like the concept of pistol removed.

nemesis i would like a comedy config without my teammates friendly fireing me all the time and my aim normal.
But that's the best part! running into a crowd of infected, gun blazing off in all directions XD they're so slow you still manage to shoot them all.

I have an idea after seeing multiple slow-zombie requests. Classic slow zombies are a favorite of mine as well, so I'll make a single setup just for slow zombies and another that can disable bosses this way you can have either one or both allowing for more freedom of customization!

Generic setups that many different people would want is what I should make now...

I will make the following .cfgs, all separate:
-slow zombies
-no bosses
-realism (gun kick, survivors collide with each other, etc)
-speed comedy (now everything is fast with 1hp XD)

11-12-2008, 05:56 PM

thanks for the multiple slow zombie mods Nemesis. Is there a way to set it to where only head shots kill the zombies? If not directly could you set their health at some insanely high level and having only head shots do this much damage?

student1

11-12-2008, 06:14 PM

Wow this is really interesting! Thank you for all your effort and work, it is very appreciated!

The ideas about classic Romero zombie action is amazing! Personally was a bit turned off by the idea of fast zombies and insta swarms... but if there is a config that does it Romero style i m definitely on this boat :)!!

thanks!

11-12-2008, 06:16 PM

Wondering also if there is a way to tweak the engine with the svars so its possible to aim with the guns... so head shots would be a lot easier... and satisfying :)!

zombiez

11-13-2008, 04:39 AM

When you mean slow nemesis do you mean they will shamble towards you?

Is there a way to take their wandering speed except make it slightly faster, and instead of wandering give it a purposeful direction?
Basically having them shamble towards you instead of run?
I think if you slowed down the running the animation would make it look ridiculous.

Romero Fans are what fuels these types of games, and we need love too. :-)

When is someone going to make Monroeville Mall?

AT THIs point, someone needs to just make Mods out of every one of the movies. I would pay money to play it. Hell I would pay money for someone to make the map.

For you kids who havent experienced the delight of growing up in the 80's walking around and scouting out how you would fortify your city, crazy with these movies, you should look into it.

Even the music in this movie is something else. The ambience of this movie would be a challenge to recreate, but can be done.

student1

11-13-2008, 09:18 AM

Yes wandering animation would be ideal! Its all about the zombies, game look good and all but its the mods that will make it amazing! I would love L4D to do something like cod 5 zombie mod... that's exactly what romero is all about! Fortifying a spot and defending it! Roming in mall is an amazing idea... but with real zombies... not infected! Anyway thats now i like my zombies slow and dumb ;)!

student1

11-13-2008, 09:20 AM

I ll add slow and dumb and hard as nails... only head shot damage would be perfect! :)

fractal

11-13-2008, 07:47 PM

Ok I managed to get a slow, head-shot only (I adjusted/maxed out the range to make far away head shots easier), normal zombie setup (i.e. Romero style zombies). Just cut & paste into a cfg file. It does look ridiculous b/c they still use the run animation. But this is the closest to Romero zombies as I could get. If anyone has any improvements please post them.

z_speed 40
director_no_bosses 1
director_no_specials 1
z_gib_limb_distance_headshot 2000000
z_non_head_damage_factor_easy -1
z_non_head_damage_factor_expert -1
z_non_head_damage_factor_hard -1
z_non_head_damage_factor_normal -1

Suggestions for improvement if possible (If someone could do these I would appreciate it!): Zombies only use the walk animation, zombies deal more damage or survivors start at lower health, and survivors continue to take damage after being hit by a zombie.

student1

11-13-2008, 07:51 PM

Thanks for this!! Will probably be possible with mod or maybe with extra commands from full version, guess we ll have to wait and see. Btw where did you find the commands that are available for the config?

Nemesis_vs_Leon

11-13-2008, 07:55 PM

I'm being lazy of course ;)

Now that I started the .cfgs hopefully many people will make different setups, but remember to always innovate and create the ideas that have never been done before and are simply common sense.

Nemesis I have a question for you...

Why do you use "director_special" cvars?

I read the l4d_cvar_list and it mentions "How long is given to a player to accept the offer of a special zombie during the finale."

So wouldn't these cvar deal with some special zombie during the finale only? No point for the demo? or any non finale level...?

Retsam

11-14-2008, 05:58 PM

I kinda made my own custom mod settings for my server as well. I basically was trying to make it harder, but balanced so it wasnt just insanely impossible.

Basically its like 1 step or two over the expert level. Its pretty sweet. Obviously ill spend much more time tweaking stuff after the retail game is out.

I've been running a demo server since the advanced release. I bumped up the common settings quite a bit as well as pistol and pipe bombs a hair.

Currently I run this setup on "Advanced" ("Hard" in the config) and it's quite challenging.

Try these on your own server with friends and see how hard expert has become... :D

// Allow Cheats
sv_cheats 1 // Default 0 : , "nf", "rep" : Allow cheats on server

// These settings require cheats on to set.

director_pipe_bomb_density 18 // Default 6 : , "sv", "cheat" : Items per 100 yards square
director_pistol_density 12 // Default 4 : , "sv", "cheat" : Items per 100 yards square
motd_enabled 1 // Default 1 : , "sv" : Toggles whether or not to show the MOTD to clients when they connect.
motdfile mmzmotd.txt // Default 0 : , "sv" : The MOTD file to load.

z_background_limit 120 // Default 20 : , "sv", "cheat" : How many common infected are on the background map at once.
z_common_limit 360 // Default 30 : , "sv", "cheat" : How many common infecteds we can have at once.

A romero survival map would be nice! Slow zombies, little ammunition and a horde for zombies growing ever more in numbers! Yep this sounds sweet :)!

Wow, great ideas! I'll have a go at creating one sooner or later.

I think the "Lone Survivor" cfg is by far my favourite, the third person camera is great. The only problem to begin with is the aiming, though after a while you know where to shoot.

Anyone know how to change the amount of damage common infected do, z_gun_damage seems to have no effect at all.

Bizarro

11-15-2008, 08:02 PM

How would I set it back to normal if I used one of these or does it only work for one round then I have to execute the cfg again?

I have no idea what xtr or xrt mean, but "Lone Survivor" sounds much more obvious. This is basically item survivor with the survivor bots deleted and being pounced/tongued is removed. Now, hunters are more a threat from rushing with their melee attack. This also removes the HUD and gives you a nice third person view.
I tried this one (and only this one) and there are a few problems with it:

-Crosshair issues notwithstanding, the shotgun makes no noise in the thirdpersonshoulder view.
-Hunters and smokers can still pounce/tongue you. Also, when you get pounced, the hunter doesn't do his ripping animation (he just sits on top of you) until you get incapped and lose the game (THEN he rips you to shreds!)
But it was pretty fun, if only for the thirdpersonshoulder view and no bots.

Yeah, the lack of a shotgun noise in 3rd person shoulder is quite annoying, though i havnt had the same problems with smokers and hunters...they cant rip me up and the smoker cant tongue me...sure you have the text copied properly?

Had some good fun with those scripts, nice work there !

But I really love to have a "default settings" mod too. Is there already a cfg i can run or do i need to make one myself?
Maybe it is as simple as putting the 21 pages cvar list in a cfg and run that?

Why do you use "director_special" cvars?

I read the l4d_cvar_list and it mentions "How long is given to a player to accept the offer of a special zombie during the finale."

So wouldn't these cvar deal with some special zombie during the finale only? No point for the demo? or any non finale level...?
Erm, you know that there is more than one director_special cvar right? They control spawn times of zombies and such.

I like to play SP with the hud and player/item glow off, and I have one script to turn them on and another to turn them off- but how would I bind those functions to a key toggle? Opening the console and executing the scripts is a pain when you type as slow as I do

e.g. "f" toggles hud on/off; "g" toggles glow on/off

On that note, "cl_drawhud 0" doesn't remove the team status bars at the bottom, anyone know the cvar for them?

Hi,

was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to increase the chance of getting a Horde attack once you get close to the end of the level safe room?

Also anyway to change "expert" damage to regular "hard"damage from zombies. Using a nice cfg from this site to make the horde attacks hard, but on expert they do a bit too much damage, so was wondering if there is a cfg command to make the damage drop down to hard level while still playing expert?

I'd like to spawn as a hunter, no survivors or any setup that will let me try pouncing around undisturbed.

This appeals very much to me as I enjoyed bunnyhopping in an empty map for no real reason a few years back :D

Any help would be appreciated.

I just saw that Leap 4 Dead trickjumping vid and was wondering if there was a way for me to practice this in a map. I'd like to spawn as a hunter, no survivors or any setup that will let me try pouncing around undisturbed.

What I've been doing to practice any jumps is to open the console and go to a vs map directly, "map l4d_vs" and they'll all come up. "sb_all_bot_team 1" to stop the round from ending when you switch teams and "jointeam 3" to switch to the infected. Then I usually make sure the AI won't try to finish the map with "nb_stop 1" which just stops everything really. Finally a "director_force_versus_start" so you can spawn. You might have to suicide a few times before you're a hunter.

So in summary:
map l4d_vs_...etc
sb_all_bot_team 1
jointeam 3
nb_stop 1
director_force_versus_start

And you can hop around at will.

There's probably a quicker way but this is what works for me.

Oh yeah, and with director_no_human_zombies 0 this can be done on all the regular maps, but roofs aren't textured and what not. (in other words, versus on Dead Air and Death Toll)

and there are always the same pills and med kits and other items even though i put their densities at 0. HELP!!!

Fairly sure you also have to set "director_scavenge_item_override 1" for it to use your cvar densities.

ok somethings wrong here..i uninstalled and then reinstalled l4d and then even tried using the item survival cfg that was first posted. that doesnt even work. there are still items on the map everywhere and i dont start with the stuff it should. and my cfg's still dont work as in my post above. wtf! im saving these cfg's in the cfg folder and then on the menu screen i type in exec blahblah.cfg and it looks like it should work and then start a single player game. the slow zombie and headshot only cfg's work but nothing else does it seems like

12-02-2008, 11:47 AM

Suggestions for improvement if possible (If someone could do these I would appreciate it!): Zombies only use the walk animation, zombies deal more damage or survivors start at lower health, and survivors continue to take damage after being hit by a zombie.

here is wat i did to make it seem as if the infection was killing the survivors. i still need to find out how to change the zombies damage so that it incapitates in one hit. these commands allow survivors only to be incapitated once and revive time is shorter and once they are revived they have only 30 temp health until they do. i also disabled first aid kits and pain pills so once u get infected..ur doomed. and also i made it so that being infected doesnt make u slower.

survivor_max_incapacitated_count 1
survivor_revive_duration 3
survivor_revive_health 30
survivor_limp_health 0

first_aid_kit_max_heal 0

pain_pills_health_threshold 0

HELP!!!

I've noticed that as well and there is nothing to be done about it as far as I can determine. The giant piles of unlimited ammo seem to be spawned by the director at least outside of the spawn points because the ammo piles spawn randomly- sometimes they're on a given table sometimes they are not. Same with guns and such. But I can find no variable that governs whether or where ammo, guns and first aid kits spawn. Pity, because surviving against slow Romero style zombies would be alot more tricky if supplies were limited.

Here is my attempt at a Romero style of classic slow zombie config.

I've toyed with it quite a bit attempting to get a balance between "yard trash" and sudden zergs of zombies. Your mileage may vary. Mess with the zombie variables to get large zergs or more yard trash standing around etc... or use the previously mentioned vars to make panic events last forever, or use nb_rush.

When I set out I hoped to limit available ammo and guns but I found no way to do so.

Here is my attempt at a Romero style of classic slow zombie config.

very nice! maybe once sdk is released there will be simple "hold this position and survive with limited supplies" maps that these scripts will work great with! i know ill be working on some. and hopefully we find a better way for the zombies to deal damage to the survivors that is more like an infection.

right now im working on replacing the in game music with the soundtrack from land of the dead so its even more like a romero scenario. once im done with that, create the perfect .cfg, and make a few simple maps like i said before, ill release the package on this site. if u want to help me with anything just message me. my steam id is dano625

To start off, i love the content here, but haven't had a real reason to register apart from now, when i have valid input i think some people might like to read...

Entwidomela, your config was excellent until i started playing online with 1 other friend.

While the config was very fun and funny in singleplayer, it ruined the online expereince for both me and my friend. I'm not saying this would happen to everyone, but it got old very very quickly with the slow zombie and the "Romero style" your talking about.
I have GeForce 512mb GT, with 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo, 2gb RAM and Windows XP, my upload speed is over 800kbps, and download is at least triple that.
Yet with 250 zombies all gnarling away at the spawnroom door, i lag like crazy, and my friend jumps to over 850 ping from under 100.
I've got graphics setting reconfigured to medium, after using your config on highest settings in singleplayer, i knew online would need to be turned down alot more.
Really sad that i had to sit down and rework this file, but call this the "cheap" version of yours, or call it whatever, ive rewritten alot, but i can't really take much credit for it, as ive basically just playtested your version, and heavily modified it or "downgraded it" if you will.

Anyway here it is, in all it's glory.

Btw, im not to sure if the echo commands are really that useful, i put them there as a reference ingame so you know exactly what to press if you forget some buttons, however one thing i've noticed about L4D, the console get filled very quickly with L4DMM and L4DUI messages... Really quite annoying to me who isn't modding this particular game, therefor have no use for the messages being displayed in the console, plus using extra memory that is critical when hosting a listenserver especially with modded config files like these.

Feel free to ask me any questions or edit this in any way, not like im getting money for it :P

Hey guys, looking for a bit of help here. Is there anyway to modify the "push back" (aka i would like the shotgun to have more of a punch without doing more damage) force of the different weapons? And is there a way to make the "Melee" attack do very little damage but still push the zombies back?

Thanks!

Is it possible to change the run animation? When using the 'Romero' style they look like retards trying to run.

MTBD

12-22-2008, 11:01 AM

Hi, your mods are very cool, but the slow zombies really looks like retard when then try to run so I thought we could maybe change the running animation with the walking one. In the model viewer I opened common_female01.mdl ; in the sequences tab there are 7 running sequence (Run_01, Run_02b, Run_02c, Run_03, Run_03b, Run_04 and Run_04b) + Run_OnFire and Run_OnFire01; and 5 walking sequences (Walk, Walk_Neutral_01,Walk_Neutral_02, Walk_Neutral_03 and Walk_Neutral_04). I think we could delete the running sequences, then copy and rename the walking one so that they have the same name as the running one and then replace the original .mdl file by the custom one and maybe it would work. But I have no idea how to do so or if it would work. So if anyone more skilled than me could try that I would be really pleased.
And sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker.

folder. Once there, enable the developers console in keyboard options, start a new single player game and hit the ~ key (left of 1! key) to open the console. Then type: changelevel l4d_vs_hunter_city_b1

You will get a "map is unplayable" error once it loads because there is no safehouse for the survivors. Just click OK and hit the M key to change teams and join the infected. Just spawn and run back to the cage a few times until you become a hunter. Then you just drop to the left and start the training!

Hey, can you use a built in mic (laptop) with L4D pc?

Cause, I have a built in mic, and was thinking about getting L4D for the pc today, so I can use all the cfg goodness!

And, so this is ontopic, is it possible to make like a doubles thing, like a zombie and a human on a team vs the other 3 zombie/human teams? That would be awesome...

ok, i have the retail version.

how the fuck do i get these to work?

do they all have to be renamed to Server.cfg when i want to use them?

they're in this dir:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\cfg

G_X

01-06-2009, 07:12 PM

ok, i have the retail version.
Doesn't matter.how the fuck do i get these to work?
Put them in your cfg folder, and when you want to use them, open the console and type "exec [name]", where [name] is the filename of the .cfg file.

cear_MOAk

01-06-2009, 07:26 PM

it's not recognizing them as cfgs.

i'm in game, hosting my own server locally, and i type exec in my console, and i type the name of the cfg (without the .cfg) and it says it can't find it.

EDIT:

ok nevermind.
i'm an idiot.
my computer was hiding known file type extensions.

Maybe z_mega_mob_size? There is a cvar list @ http://www.left4dead411.com/l4d_cvar_list.pdf

someone asked about spawning as a class in single player for practice.
sv_cheats 1
nb_all_bot_team 1
director_no_human_zombies 0
you should be able to hit m to switch teams now. if you want to spawn a tank, go to infected and z_spawn tank and it should let you play the tank, allowing you to practice all the fun smashing.
when i set it up this way, the survivors refused to activate the horde events alone and there were no ai specials, so i was free to hunter practice on no mercy two past the generator.
hope this helps.

Heya..
Im just wondering if u wouldnt mind writimg a script for me?
I would like slightly more realistic weapon capacities, say 30 rounds for the m16, 8 rounds for the autoshottie, 9 rounds for the pistol, 40 rounds for the uzi and 10 rounds for the hunting rifle?
also an increase in the max size of hordes (say about 50-60?) and a slight increase in the number of wandering zombies?
also could the "gibbing" of zombies be reduced to about half maybe a third?
Many thanks in advance, im just looking for a slightly more "realistic" feel to the game... as realistic as a zombie game can be lol.. also feel free to add in anything you feel would add to the realism of the game.

tikoymann

01-11-2009, 12:42 AM

^^Maybe I can help. These are the scripts for the weapons I've been using: http://www.mediafire.com/?c2wyfzszn3o
This was the more balanced feel I've made for the weapons. It's objective is to nerf all the weapons so that to feel more of the game's survival theme. These gun scripts aren't really realistic, but my point is that I've balanced these so that some guns aren't better than the other: pump vs uzi for example.

Back to topic, I've made a difficulty cfg which when combined with my weapon scripts will make for a more challenging gameplay. I call it Left4Dead4Real:

The OP's use of cvars inspired me to tweak L4D and try new things , to revive the shock and awe of demo days. Here's what I got so far :

zombiespy.cfg

sv_cheats 1

z_hit_from_behind_factor 32
z_mute_infected 1

z_acquire_far_range 9999
z_acquire_far_time 5
z_acquire_near_range 2500
z_alert_range 9999
z_must_wander 1

z_vision_range 9999
z_vision_range_alert 9999
z_vision_range_obscured 2500
z_vision_range_obscured_alert 9999

z_common_limit 64

z_hear_gunfire_range 1000

director_no_bosses 1
director_no_specials 1
director_no_mobs 1

The oblivious common infected become alert , silent killers. Watch your back and keep an ear out for the faintest footstep , or you will die from an embarassing necksnap. Best played with all 4 human players as bots do not last very long. Communication greatly increases your chances. Meant for advanced or expert. Not for the faint hearted.

specialsonly.cfg

sv_cheats 1

z_common_limit 0

director_no_mobs 1

director_special_respawn_interval 5
z_special_spawn_interval 5

tank_burn_duration_hard 120
tank_burn_duration_normal 120
tank_burn_duration_vs 120
z_witch_burn_time 60

z_witch_personal_space 250
z_witch_flashlight_range 1250

z_exploding_speed 250
z_exploding_splat_radius 500

z_gun_swing_interval 1

z_shotgun_bonus_damage_multiplier 2

Work in progress , high speed special spawning tends to be a little glitchy (and they get culled fast if you just rush through) and is not very challenging with bots - requires expert mode to keep the director raging.
The lack of common infected to distract you makes special killing much easier. Multiple smokers pulling your team apart will not let the game get boring , and the witch is especially deadly.

Finally , I took the liberty to update comedy.cfg with rendering gimmicks and other goofy factors :

This is the end result :

Hi, nice work and all is appreciated :)
Just a request, I could do it myself but I don't want to bother trial and error going back and forth :)

I want something like lone survivor, but if its possible to have a crosshair and no hud? Im not sure if that can be done since I think the ch is part of the hud :S

Also, I want to have

- no hordes or mobs of zombies just a slow paced game
- no bosses at all
- zombies to do loads of damage, like 5 or 6 swipes and your down :)

Thanks all for your great work and dedication

30CALIB3R

01-17-2009, 06:56 AM

Sorry if this has already been answered, but when I execute a config on my dedicated server, it only takes effect for me. In my config, it's supposed to remove the hud, but it only removes it for me and not my friends. I have it uploaded to the ftp in the cfg folder.

Here is my config:

sv_cheats "1"

r_drawvgui "0"

fog_override "1"
fog_enable "0"

z_mob_spawn_min_interval_expert "90"
z_mob_spawn_max_interval_expert "180"
z_mob_spawn_min_size "10"
z_mob_spawn_max_size "30"

z_acquire_far_range "9000"
z_acquire_far_time "0"
z_acquire_near_range "500"
z_acquire_near_time "0"

director_no_bosses "1"
director_no_specials "1"

How do I make it take effect for all the players on the server? Thanks in advance.

MartinStatic

01-17-2009, 07:13 AM

@30CALIB3R: Did your friends exec it as well? Should work :)

30CALIB3R

01-17-2009, 09:18 AM

When my friends try to execute it, it says, "Can't exec real". Also, when I use it, I still see special infected even though I turned it off in the config.

Edit: While I'm asking, what are the commands to remove all glows? (ghosting through walls, boomer vile, weapon/item glow, etc)

Stakhanov

01-17-2009, 10:33 AM

By the way , fog_enable 0 may disable molotov flame effects , I use fog_color 0 to achieve the same result with no trouble. *edit* actually it only removes the fog light , making it ominously dark... fog_enable 0 lets you see the turnpike tunnel from death toll spawn , fog_color 0 doesn't.

Fog effects are client side , but still need sv_cheats 1 on the server to change.

Nemesis_vs_Leon

01-17-2009, 10:48 AM

If you want realism, z_gun_kick sets the recoil; default 0.

MartinStatic

01-17-2009, 11:14 AM

Hey, Nemesis_vs_Leon, could you help I can't seem to get the following effect :

- no hordes or mobs of zombies just a slow paced game
- no bosses at all
- zombies to do loads of damage, like 5 or 6 swipes and your down :)

You seem to know more about the cvar list and commands than most :)
Thanks in advance

I also need help, when i try the ItemSurvival (I'm too lazy to read all the posts) then i exec it in-game and i start, but the AI Director still spawns pain pills, molotovs, pistols and pipe-bombs.

Can you help me ?

justice7

01-18-2009, 07:00 PM

Awesome so far guys

Can someone help me with the following?

First and foremost; remove the run animation for common infected?

-Slow the zombies down, walk speed, slightly slower than survivor walk?
-Slow the survivors down; perhaps make w walk by default
-Limit # of pistol rounds/clips
-Limit even further # of clips held
-Disable HUD/Crosshair
-Headshots do damage, body shots only knock back
-No bosses/specials

I can pretty much do all of these given time; except for making the zombies walk instead of run.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

There's a workaround to adjust the amount of damage an infected can do.
z_hit_from_behind_cosine 1 will treat all damage as taken from the back , -1 as taken from the front. You can adjust it so that only hits right behind you (-0.8) count as backstabs.
Set z_hit_from_behind_factor as you see fit , just factor in the difficulty mode (2 for easy , 20 for expert)

i want a nice config like justice7 said that isn't the realism mod and it wont fuck up normal l4d.

Awesome so far guys

Can someone help me with the following?

First and foremost; remove the run animation for common infected?

-Slow the zombies down, walk speed, slightly slower than survivor walk?
-Slow the survivors down; perhaps make w walk by default
-Limit # of pistol rounds/clips
-Limit even further # of clips held
-Disable HUD/Crosshair
-Headshots do damage, body shots only knock back
-No bosses/specials

I can pretty much do all of these given time; except for making the zombies walk instead of run.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I think a way to make infected walk rather than run would be to decompile anim_common_female.mdl and common_female.mdl with mdldecompiler then open it in XSI and replace the running animation by the walking ones then recompile it and replace the original one; and then do the same with common_male. I tried it but i can't decompile the animation files.

Thanks alot for the script... i've been messing around with cfgs alot, and i have only one question, that is how could i reduce the density or number of wandering infected without reducing z_common_limit. you see i still want larger hordes than normal..

Yeah, does anyone know the command to remove the hud, that works for the entire server? I got my original config to work server side by "rcon exec real", instead of "exec real", which just does it for me. All the commands work except removing the hud. I've tried "cl_drawhud 0" and "r_drawvgui" but they won't work. Anybody have any ideas? This is my config:

Updated the earlier cfgs. Some other mods :

zombiekiller.cfg
<div class="quote">sv_cheats 1

z_hit_from_behind_cosine 1
z_hit_from_behind_factor 50</div>

Simply makes zombies instant kill (front or back) without changing anything else.

zombieglue.cfg
<div class="quote">sv_cheats 1

z_common_limit 90

director_force_panic_event
director_panic_forever 1

z_mute_infected 1

z_hit_from_behind_cosine 1
z_hit_from_behind_factor 0</div>

Will swarm you with zombies that deal no damage , but slow you down and block you. Note that they will stomp and kill you when you are incapacitated ! Makes tanks much harder to deal with.

noclosets.cfg
<div class="quote">sv_cheats 1

rescue_range 1
rescue_min_dead_time 3600</div>

Disables respawning in coop (until someone reaches the safe room) and makes expert quite harder obviously.

Some more comedy modes :

tkbots.cfg
<div class="quote">sv_cheats 1

sb_friendlyfire 1
sb_open_fire 1</div>

Bots will deal FF and happily shoot , often while looking at you. Now they get to participate in Left4Deathmatch.

moonwalk.cfg
<div class="quote">sv_cheats 1

z_forwardspeed 50
z_sidespeed 50
z_backspeed 999
survivor_crouch_speed 999</div>

Cause this is a thriller ! Run backwards for the whole campaign and see if you can play "normally" while doing so.

Basically a port of comedy.cfg that lets the infected have fun too. Features high speed pounces , super fast flinging smoker pull , running puke , high force tank smack and lots more shenanigans.

Lastly , my favorite :

<div class="quote">sv_cheats 1

director_no_specials 1
director_no_mobs 1
director_no_bosses 1
director_show_intensity 1
director_spectate_specials 1

z_no_cull 1
</div>

Bind some keys to spawn zombies (z_spawn hunter/smoker/boomer/tank/witch/mob , also nb_rush to get common infected to attack) and be the director. Exec this script as the map is loading (when everyone has joined , but before the cutscene starts) so that people do not notice that cheats are on. See if you can mimic the AI director while giving them a better challenge. The AI director will still handle item spawning and wanderers as well as panic events , so you won't have to worry about that (tho it can despawn your own common infected at times)

Works best on advanced mode , as all zombies deal significant damage but survivors will not die before you can decide where to spawn your tank.

Everyone look at the cvar list PDF on the this site's front page, the cvars are all in there, and the ones you're looking for are there too.

director_ commands and cvars are changes to the ai director of course.
z_ are pretty general and cover a wide range of things
sb_ is for the survivor bots
nb_ is for all the bots
survivor_ is for survivors of course

find these things in alphabetical order in the PDF. You can find these yourself, the tools are available! I won't support laziness to read the PDF; I won't do the simple jobs for you.

Nice collection of tweaks u have here, good work and thanks.

I'm trying to figure it out for some time and i couldn't make it happen.
Me and my friend are playing on a split screen (with infected) and i was thinking of making a script that will:

-make survivor bots to return to begining once they reach the end (that means that the map never ends)
-beside me and my friend auto spawn other infected zombies

My guess is that it needs to be done with the loop somehow.
Also, and this is very important to me because it's killing me, how can i remove switch team limit? I went through the cvars and didn't found it.

btw i admire u guys playing with gamepads, i'm blind without mouse and keyboard :)

Thanks.

use a ton of "wait" commands, each is worth a millisecond.

You have to restart the map for it to take effect.

z_brawl_chance is the probability of 2 infected start fighting each other.

Woah. That's actually pretty awesome. You could affect that and just have zombies fighting all over the place. A zombie brawl! Oh by the way, will the zombies fighting eventually kill each other?

Stakhanov

Yes they do. That's half the point of comedy mode actually.
Zombies will only fight when bumping into each other , that's where the probability is computed.

04-12-2009, 07:42 PM

I tired a few of these configs. The hordes, the updated one on the 26th, and some one else's that was made for realism. None are quick what I expected.

That hordes didnt keep coming and coming.

I was on a versus server today and it was crazy. If a horde came. It was non stop for litteraly 2min. If you got boomed during that. It lasted longer. We were fighting for atleast 5min of hordes.

Id like to see a config like that. Where if a horde spawns, its HUGE. I mean hundreds of zombies. Id also like two tanks on a level.

On that same server. It spawned a lot of items. Lots of gas cans, med packs ocassionaly, same with pipes and molos.

If its possible to make something like this for versus, could you please. OR just for co-op. Id like to try it out.

:edit: Also I just got a server...so Im looking to put it on there. So If you figure a way to do all this...could you also please post how to set it up for the versus play.

Thanks so much in advance!

04-16-2009, 11:21 PM

A'right, I've been toying around with some junk, and I found a configuration that pleases me. In fact, it's the ONLY config that I play on Expert now. To the best of my knowledge (not that it amounts to much :P but you get the picture), these files will cause the game to play more realistically, so to speak. I was rather unimpressed with much of the original gameplay, as it was too arcade-like and lacked the strategy orientation that would be required in an actual post-apocalyptic setting. But what does it do? An excellent question ;)

---START DESC---

SURVIVORS

Movement, ammunition, recoil, deviation, and vision have all been modified for realism. No more lightning-fast sprinters, no more amazingly-accurate pistol shots from across the block, and no more backing into a corner and swinging away like you've nothing to worry about. Furthermore, things don't glow. If you're looking for something, you'll have to really pay attention, and if your team mates are in trouble, well... let's just say it pays to know where everyone is. Generally speaking, though, survivors still hold the advantage. If you place your shots carefully, as opposed to panicking and unloading everything you've got into the horde, you'll be able to weather even a full mob unscathed. Play your cards wrong, though, and even a dozen or so infected will tear you up.

You can be knocked down a total of 4 times, though you come back each time with progressively lower health. It really doesn't help much, though; a couple hits, and you'll be back down. So be careful! At this point, it should be worth mentioning that downed survivors CAN'T be left unprotected anymore, as they are extremely vulnerable to any sort of damage and will die very quickly without assistance. Also, try to avoid shooting teammates; while a bullet to the leg may simply hurt like hell, a direct shotgun blast to the chest will kill instantly.

STANDARD ZOMBIES

Let's be honest; these things came from humans. And humans are only so densely populated in any given area. However, they still otherwise possess the same faculties and physiology that they possessed in life, give or take. They can run just as fast as you can, and see just as far. They might take longer to recognize the difference between friend and food, but their bodies are extremely durable; they'll take just as much damage as you before they even slow down. Finally, they are constantly hungry, constantly searching for food. Because of this, expect them to sneak up on you when you least expect it. They do not make noise whatsoever, and can form hunting parties with dozens of individuals...

MINOR MUTANTS

Boomers are tougher, but have been given a greater range on their bile. Furthermore, they can blind their victims far more frequently than before; their primary goal is to leave you blind and vulnerable to the others' attacks. It's rare to see more than one or two in any given territory, as they tend to be solitary hunters.

Smokers have received several slight changes in functioning that alter their tactics significantly. Possessing much greater strength in their tongues, they can drag victims away with frightening speed, strangling them at their leisure once reeled in. If the hunt proves too risky, however, they have no qualms with simply dropping their prey and coming back for them at a later time. Fortunately, their tongues CAN be cut off by a quick defender, rendering them virtually useless for quite a while. They occasionally organize into small groups when prey is plentiful.

Hunters now operate in a manner that suits their name: in large groups. Encountering a small troupe of three or four is fairly common, and frequently, they mob up into much larger groups. The pounce attack also damages more or less in time with the animation; a little bit here and there every time the creature rips at a survivor (trust me, though, it adds up rather quickly). On the off chance that being on a pounced victim isn't where the hunter wants to be, though, they can always simply spring away from them and wait to strike again later.

MAJOR MUTANTS

Tanks are still dangerous, but no longer invincible. You should still expect to lose someone when fighting them, however.

Witches now get irritated far more easily. On top of that, they move extremely fast. Your best bet is to either a) avoid them altogether, or b) group up and pour all your firepower into them. They're not particularly dangerous right NOW... but that's only because I haven't gotten around to removing any of their ambient sound effects (that is to say, I haven't made them silent).

MISC

Doors are now fairly important. Rather than being mere hindrances, they can actually be used to effectively stop regular zombies for quite a while. Picture your good, old-fashioned oak door! :P It won't do much in the face of mutants, of course (they can tear through it rather quickly), but for the standard humanoid infected, they serve their purpose well.

Reload times for the shotguns are now more realistic.

If you're finding the recoil with automatic weapons to be too much, brace your weapon against your arm by crouching. It helps a LOT.

Pistols can and WILL run out of ammo. Use them wisely, and switch out with another pistol you find lying around if your sidearm clicks empty.

---END DESC---

For those of you wanting a far more survival-horror feel to this game, believe me when I say that you won't be disappointed ;) suggestions and possible improvements are always welcome.

Ok beware of this script since it COMPLETLY changes the gameplay of Left4Dead.
Here´s what it does:

Changes made on zombies:
- zombies are only killable with a headshot
- there are zombie hordes all the time but with only 1-3 zombies
- slower zombies
- zombies view distance has been increased
- takes longer time for zombies to die from flames
- hunters hp have been decreased
- tanks hp have been decreased drastically
- tank is faster
- witch is more agressiv
- witches hp have been decreased drastically

Changes made on survivors
- survivors are slower especially when hurt
- after reviving the survivor has all hp
- downed survivors take much more damage
- medikit doesn´t gives a bit less hp than usual
- fire is much more deadly than normal

Other changes
- melee limit (takes 1 sec to do the next swing)
- items/survivors don´t glow anymore (copy&pasted this from Jaitara_X I really hope you don´t mind)
- no crosshair

There are 2 problems I have encountered with this script so far:

1. Crosshair stays invisible even after you restart the game. This is easy to fix...just write cl_crosshair_alpha "255" at the end of your autoexec.cfg (located under [...]\left4dead\left4dead\cfg). You could also play this mod with crosshair enabled...just erase the last line in my script.

2. Since the script spawns hordes from second to second and you hear the music everytime it gets annoying. I haven´t found a workaround for this so just turn down the music under audio options.

Oh and if someone could help me with the following:
Since I lowered the health of the tank and the witch I wanted the director to spawn more of them but it didn´t work. Does anyone know how to do this? Please please please let me know =)

My aim for this mod was to make L4D more realistic so if you like undead corpses who are as fast as athlets this mod is nothing for you.
Also this mod needs some testing to make it perfect so if you play and have any suggestions/questions/problems please let me know.

For everyone who doesn´t know how to use this script:
1. go under [...]\left4dead\left4dead\cfg and create a new textdocument there
2. rename this document to real.cfg
3. open the document and paste my code in there
4. save the file and start l4d
5. open the console and type "exec real"

Enjoy :D

//Invisible Crosshair
cl_crosshair_alpha 0[/code]

- no crosshair

There are 2 problems I have encountered with this script so far:

Just noting for you, in L4D to get rid of crosshair you can just type, crosshair 0, and to turn it back on you can just type crosshair 1.

So if that's the problem, just change cl_crosshairahpla 0 to crosshair 0. It should fix it.

Overkill, regarding your special zombie spawn time... did you increase the minimum time they need to be dead for before they can respawn? It should be something like "z_director_special_min_dead_time" ... can't remember off the top of my head, and I don't have the code list on this computer.

Overkill

04-21-2009, 07:03 AM

Thanks Kiwi crosshair 0 works nice =)
Uhh..am I just to silly to find the edit button or is there no such thing?

@Jaitara_X:
I used z_special_spawn_interval and z_director_special_spawn_delay and set them both to 320 (for 320 seconds respawn time if this is correct).
I found z_ghost_spawn_interval (set to 60) in the cvar list is this the one you mean?

btw: director_special_battlefield_respawn_interval (10) does anyone know what this does?

Stakhanov

Pretty sure anything related to "battlefield" goes for crescendo events (not finales)

Apex_

04-23-2009, 07:52 PM

Anyone know how to increase the ammo cap?

These are hidden and require sm_cvar in Sourcemod to change:

ammo_assaultrifle_max "360"
ammo_buckshot_max "128"
ammo_firstaid_max "1"
ammo_huntingrifle_max "180"
ammo_molotov_max "1"
ammo_painpills_max "1"
ammo_pipebomb_max "1"
ammo_pistol_max "-2"
ammo_smg_max "480"

*edit* Oh, and changing the pills, medkit and grenade amounts don't appear to do anything special. I don't remember if making them -1 or -2 makes them infinite or not.

3. Make the smoker's tongue go far and grab:

My Versus config. Its been about 2 weeks in the making to get it balanced enough to play online, and actually have a fair chance for both teams.

Survivors do have to play well though

Changes in this
1. medkits heal you 100% now
2. pain pills give you slightly more temp health

3. smokers tongue is stronger
4. smokers tongue will pull much faster, faster than survivors can run if you arn't quick to react because of the higher acceleration and max speed
5. smokers range is higher, and the delay between pulls have been halved.
6. smoker can release with secondary fire.

7. Hunter damage is uncapped up to 100, but kept at the same scale as original, max damage only limited by the map. Highest in game i've done is 55, highest i've ever seen in testing was 65.
8. Stumble force is greater on landing, close to survival like now (someone asked about this above i think)

9. boomers can move faster, and also have 10 seconds less recharge time

10. tank is faster, longer frustration time
11. rock throws are 2x as fast, but less health, still able to shoot them down.
12. gun damage doesn't slow tank at all now

13. witch will kill you in 5 hits once she incaps you now
14. basically, the witch will get pissed off really easily now, crowning is possible, but dont approach from the front, or she'll anger before you reach her.

15. Common infected have speed increased by a lot. This makes it almost impossible to rush events without pipebombs, and also, now when you get boomed, the horde is on you almost immediately, just how it should be
16. slightly more common infected roaming the map than normal

17. crawling enabled for incap'd survivors, but double the original speed
18. incap health and ledge grab health is almost 100 more
19. revive health is higher

20. ammo counts are higher, but not high enough to where you never run out

21. Ghost speed is much faster now, so you can get to where you want to go in ghost mode fast now

22. car alarm tweaked to go off at a greater range, and with more zombies

23. pipebomb fuse is now 9 seconds

**anything below with test or ?? in it i'm not positive what it does, i just havn't removed it yet**

I've been away from these forums for some time and I'd like to know if, now that the sdk has been released, some progress has been made with some of the modifications I still have in mind for this game:

- limited pistol ammo

- reduce weapons total ammo

- reduce the strenght you have to push back infecteds (I feel like Hulk)

- one hit by an infected means being incapacitated, not dead.

- no autoreloading when the magazine gets empty

Thanks a lot.

Stakhanov

06-07-2009, 12:20 PM

Pistol ammo / weapon ammo changes can be done by overwriting weapon scripts (not cfg)

The rest would require the SDK I think.

-Stormrider-

06-07-2009, 01:06 PM

I've tried everything with the pistol ammo, but all I can reduce is the number of bullets in every magazine, so but since you have unlimited magazines, the problem is still there.

is there a cvar that changes the amount of seconds an infected will stay stunned for when melee-ed ?

especially for hunter.

Elite

07-27-2009, 02:26 AM

There probably isn't because all the knock back animations are all different and have different lengths. So there being a global timer wouldn't make sense.

SlainPwner666

07-27-2009, 03:22 AM

Actually, I think there is, because that should explain how hunters have more knockback in survival then say, in campaign.

ArchNemesis

07-27-2009, 06:05 AM

well would there be a cvar for hunters especially ?

(i.e) hunters being melee-ed by survivor.
