Pre-TLS Witch Maul

Description
This only works on local servers (if you host with this mod on) and singleplayer. No effect on official servers besides the faster mauling animation.

The Witch now takes 1.5 second (around the time it takes for the mauling animation to loop) to damage her incapacitated victim, instead of every claw swipe, like it is on Xbox 360/before TLS update, making her kill a lot slower, and a lot less dangerous. Watch the (old) video (that isn't mine) for a comparison, skip to 12 seconds. Shows how fast the L4D1/L4D2 (after TLS) Witch killed compared to the Xbox/Pre-TLS Witch.

This addon restores Left 4 Dead 2's original Witch animations from 2009 - 2020, only the maul animation is different.

What it does:
-changes all animations, with no noticeable difference except the "killing_blow_loop" file, which is noticeably faster and doesn't loop as well as the current mauling animation, which was slowed down so that she mauled survivors similarly to the L4D1 Witch, making it incompatible with other Witch animation-related mods.

-the damage to incapacitated survivors is now tied to the start of her anim, so at the start of the killing_blow_loop animation, her target will take damage, and the animation will need to loop completely to damage them again.
This results in damage to incapacitated survivors around every 1.5s, instead of every claw swipe.

The mod does NOT add or change any script.


I didn't want to download a Pre-TLS modpack just to have this specific change, and since the Witch is my favorite Special Infected, I figured I'd upload something about her.

This mod is compatible with Witch remodels and retextures, but not mods that change her animations such as Witch Facial Expressions, unfortunately.

The mod replaces all Witch animations, so it WILL conflict with other Witch animation-related mods.
Use the version of xdR below if you want to use this mod alongside other xdR mods that don't change her animations.

The description is there for that. This is the default L4D2 Witch animations, but her mauling animation (featured as a gif) has been restored to pre-tls. This means the animation needs to loop fully to damage incapacitated survivors, instead of every claw swipe. She will kill downed survivors much slower.

What exactly is it different from regular animation?
