Left 4 Dead 1 Beta Mutation

A mutation that attempts to recreate the Left 4 Dead Beta experience using cvars and vscripts. A list of changes are below:
+Only Boomer, Smoker, Hunter, Tank, and Witch spawns
+L4D1 weapons/items only
+Shotgun and Autoshotgun max ammo has been increased to 128
+SMG max ammo has been increased to 480
+Pistol max ammo has been set to 240 (Works but there’s no way to know ammo count)
+Survivors can shove each other out of the way (Now with voice lines!)
+Female Boomers never spawn
+No cooldown/fatigue from pushing
+Glow on far away items have been disabled
+Death notices for bots have been disabled
+No more floating names above players
+Pipe bomb timer has been reduced to 0.7
+Survivor crawling
+Smokers can voluntarily release a survivor
+Smoker tongue drag speed has been drastically increased
+Tank health has been increased to 9000 (Better bring molotovs!)
+Tanks do not slow when shooting them.
+Boomers inflict serious damage when killed near other survivors
+Players ragdoll on death
+Left 4 Dead 1 population restored
+ Players are unable to walk through each other, fit with unused voice lines! Suggested by Gyroic
+Tanks no longer shake the entire screen when they're around
+Hunters no longer violently shake the screen when pouncing
+Red light on witch has been removed
+Cinematic lights on pinned and healing survivors have been removed
+Some cvars are rebalanced to l4d1 stats, such as the minigun and tank fire damage
+A green player glow that is closer to Beta footage. White glows are used for incapacitated or pinned survivors.
+"(player) has attacked a teammate" message when a player shoots another survivor, like in footage and Counter-Strike: Source
+And moooore!


File names:
"beta" for coop
"betanocollisionedition" for coop without survivor collision enabled.
"betav" for versus mode
To access these mutations via console type: "map mapname beta" or "map mapname betav"

I highly recommend an improved bot mod to reduce the chances of them getting stuck.
Note that the screenshots are outdated and must be replaced.
