Customization / Configuration file
After your first playing with this add-on, in the folder Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/dynamic_light will appear settings.txt file, it includes these parameters by default:
Allow = true // Enable dynamic light: true or false Limit = 16 // Limit of dynamic lights GlowPipe = true GlowPipeProjectile = true PipeBlinkInterval = 0.25 PipeRadius = 160.0 PipeFuseRadius = 32.0 PipeProjectileRadius = 200.0 PipeProjectileFuseRadius = 16.0 PipeBlinkColor = "255 0 0" // RGB color, format: "R G B" PipeFuseColor = "128 28 0" PipeProjectileBlinkColor = "200 0 0" PipeProjectileFuseColor = "255 55 0" GlowMolotov = true GlowMolotovProjectile = true MolotovRadius = 200.0 MolotovProjectileRadius = 200.0 GlowInferno = true InfernoRadius = 250.0 FlameColor = "255 50 0" GlowSpit = true GlowSpitProjectile = true SpitRadius = 250.0 SpitProjectileRadius = 150.0 SpitColor = "0 192 0" GlowFirecrackerBlast = true FirecrackerBlastRadius = 250.0 FirecrackerBlastColor = "255 100 0" GlowBurningInfected = true BurningInfectedRadius = 150.0 GlowMuzzleFlash = true SemiAutomaticWeaponMinRadius = 100.0 // Random radius betweeen min and max when you fire your weapon SemiAutomaticWeaponMaxRadius = 255.0 AutomaticWeaponFlickerRadius = 65.0 // Short light to make the muzzle flash more realistic AutomaticWeaponMinRadius = 155.0 AutomaticWeaponMaxRadius = 255.0 MuzzleFlashColor = "250 150 30"

Remove configuration file to reset settings, the script will create a new one.
Also the script loads file after every round restart, or you can just use command !dl_reload

Known Issues
  • Dynamic light may not appear when you're holding molotov or pipe bomb. It's caused by custom survivor models that lack default attachment points, authors of such models may have removed or renamed attachments that are used by the addon.
  • The game is crashing. Mostly, it's caused by addons that burden your game, in this case, decrease the value of parameter Limit in the file ../Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/dynamic_light/settings.txt, it will set the limit of the dynamic lights that the addon shall use.

The parish cemetery mission has some weird lighting issues at the beginning of the map where the highway bridge is.

a minor nitpick is that the pipe bomb has a red bliping light while held, where it shouldn't really have it since it's off until thrown

Simply epic.

The only thing this mod is missing is the flashlight illuminating the players view model

does someone knows if in previous versions this worked with trs bill?
Blyatman Mar 16 @ 8:02am

I mean it truly enhanced the lighting experience but for some reason the square shaped colors on the ground make it look... weird. I'm not sure if I like it that much though. Which settings to fix that in ems?
