Is there a mod that turns of screen shaking?

I hate how the screen shakes like crazy when zombies attack me. It gives me headaches, please tell me there's a mod or a way to turn this shaking completely off. No recoil no nothing. Please.

i've never experience screen shaking when zombie attacks, but i do when bots shoot me.
The screen sharking for the bot when hes "friendly firing" is an indicator telling u that ur in a line of fire of someone else, since bot cant deal damage to the player so player won't know they are in front of the bot.
The screen shake wont happen if player is being fired by another player, cuz theres hp deduction, blood and character quotes to indicate that u are being fired at.

For the zombies, i only experienced being slowed down when attacked by a zombie, same purpose to indicate the player is being attacked. But if the whole "being attack by zombie and the screen shake" thing do exist i think it might serve the same purpose. Even though until now i still think its a higher chance that this scenario happened to u :

u are in front of the bot, and in front of u is another zombie, the zombie attacks u and the bot try to shot the zombie, but since the bot cant damage u so ur sceen shakes, but the bullet went passed u and killed the zombie, which might made u think the zombie makes ur screen shakes

Head bob can be disabled by chaning cl_viewbob 1 to 0.

The fake recoil applied to left 4 dead 2 weapons that just tilts your screen up can be disabled by individually removing it from each weapon script.

There are various cvars that can disable some of the shakes caused by things like explosive barrel, pipe bomb explosion, tank walking, and some special infected abilities.

There is no known way disable impact screen shakes caused by being hit by a common infected or shot by a teammate.

The only mod i've seen to include all of these things is pre packaged with a overhaul to increase the game's difficulty, but I don't know if you would have any interest in it.

Removing the impact screen shaking from common hits would be considered cheating since it is an intended mechanic, otherwise you could snipe SI far away even with commons slapping your buttcheeks.

So as long as you don't play on local servers with commands and such you're out of luck.

You also forgot the shake that comes with the Tank's literal movement, honestly removing the shake might also open you up to literal sneak attacks from that infected since he doesn't always make a sound other than his movement along the concrete/water and the screen shake the closure he gets.
