Is it just me, or all of your Local Server Support Tools add-ons (including your Common Library) doesn't work for me?

I'm just wondering, because I think I deleted all of the add-on files in the ems files. I think.

AN ERROR HAS OCCURED [Failed to include script "manacat_lib/lib"]

How to fix this lib not loaded ? Without this I can't use your other mods

@🌻 Luucy 🌻
I guess there isn't any reason for conflict. (but not sure because I don't use left 4 bots)

"I'm emailing Gaben" 🤣🤣

Anyway, pardon me for the possibly dumb question, but I'd like to ask if this is compatible with the "Left 4 Bots 2" mod, or should I expect some conflict between the two?

To be honest, I don't know much about how script mods work, but I'm trying to keep everything conflict-free on my end :)

@WaefreBeorn
LoL It's clear you don't even know what you're talking about. you're complaining hastily without even knowing what you know or don't know. Please emailing to Gaben as you want. But probably one or two letters won't be enough. Because Gaben surely won't want to explain to you what steam official servers are.

why is this showing up in my games on official steam servers? are other addons advertising this? seems like malware at this point, I'm emailing gaben

so that was the file that was crashing my killing floor one collection all along finally i can ditch anything that connected to it in case and find alternative that wont make my game crash at randoms times, thank you for the work still, im not coming to piss on you or something , i like your improved tank mode ! But yeah i dont like to crash every time when i just want to play theme colletion such as postal , resident evil classic or killing floor 1

For some reason the expressions of survivors don't move in cutscenes... and the reason was this script.. any idea what is causing this?

It's a pity, but I value providing a wider range of performance to those who use my stuff more than to those who don't. My goal is to provide broad guarantees on rng features, so I will not be isolating rng to reduce its operating environment.

I second the suggestion of making rng skins as separate, having a requirement for all your addons with that as mandatory even for non rng skin users is very upsetting

Question, does it work with the Rayman1103's "United We Stand" Mutation when subscribing all the local server support tools such as the hard-mode modules?

can you please make a version that dosent make the tls skin variants and other weapon variants spawn in the incorrect areas? i love ur mods but this visual gripe tugs on my chain

then idk normally my problems are always from admin system

nah i don't use any anime or infected skin @dj_panderz

cant have the charger be a anime bitch or somthing will crash game if you spawn it

your infected cant be modded with admin system its a bug with admin system no infection mods only scrips for infected @Ruless

I use ur Improved Charger AI,[Improved] Active Talker,Improved Tank AI,Improved Hunter AI and [Improved] Headshot Feedback Effect with this Manacat Common Library
but when kick all bots i use admin system and admin menu keep spawn special infected game will crash will you find out where the problem is and fix it?

good

Does anyone know how to get rid of the "The Common Library is required to run the function."? and then it gives me this link to this but i don't use any mods that uses this at least i don't think.

---

I've added this addon to the Tacticam Addon Collection. Check it out here: Tacticam

---

when can i disable player join and exit notification? this and admin system is overlapping

@poppe idk if i right but i think this is cause ..

if you have this addons name "More Zombies and Extra Ammo" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424527158

or addons that increased common infected

i think this addon cause you to see that bug. (not his Manacat addon) try to disable and restart the game.

When i enable this MOD it fucks up my realism mode, i can see team-mates through walls etc. Any suggestions?

Minor bug to report for others to learn from or to know about or manacat if he doesnt already know. Having any script such as root>scripts>weapon_grenade_launcher.txt. Using any mod that adds stuff like this will not work if you have manacats library loaded first. No easy workaround at the moment.

@dj_panderz is it worth it now ? Are we just install it as usual or install this + follow @Ice instructions to make this mod working perfectly ?

Thanks

this prob the first few lines of code that activates the mod / hook it to the game for local host so he just made one file that all the mods link to so he dont have to keep writing the same code over and over

this is the file that makes all his mods work
@bizzle its what he said in the discript

why does this message keep popping up? I don't know what mod im using that requires this

@Ice good info then, I will try it later

@MANACAT
I tried to reinstall the game and it worked again, thanks for the reply. (improved, Hard-Mode are invalid)

mods that i confirmed working with my loads of libraries loading manacats at the top are
(give n take)
(legacy weapon manager)
(delay healing)
i have not tested any others but for people who are completely lost and want to try and fix it for themselves here is a mini "guide"

An alternative way i wont be explaining is using gcfscape to put this addon directly into your custom folder so it always loads near the top of your addon list. This would probably fix mistakenly leaving the library enabled before quitting lfd2 and having it load up near the bottom breaking other mods again.

Thank you manacat for the wonderful mods ive been using your "give n take" for years now and love the stuff you come up with. Its been a great mod without having to install sourcemod just to be able to give someone else items

For those of you having issues with other mods having libraries locate your addonslist.txt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2
Step 2: open with notepad and hit ctrl+f look for "213445426"
Step 3: Change the 1 to 0 and move to the very top of your addonlist make sure its 0 so it stays at the top
Step 4: Save the document make a backup if you need (sometimes lfd2 addons all enable themselves so its a good habit)
Step 5: Load lfd2 wait for all your addons to load manacats library should be at the top of your addons list enable it then all your other mods should be working although i havent tested it a lot since i havent been playing lfd2 a lot recently so im not sure what breaks although i did notice mods that didnt work, start working after doing this.

@圈圈x
you should let me know what are you using among my stuffs

这次更新后我相关的MOD都失效了，尝试过重新订阅也还是一样的问题，请问我怎么解决？
After this update, my related mods have become invalid, and I tried to re-subscribe and it is still the same problem, how can I solve it?

Don't mind them, my friend. You've done a great job already. No creator can guarantee their mod is perfect — it's a continuous process of refinement and improvement. I'm really grateful that you're still optimizing it even now. Even if it's just a script, I used to experience crashes when I played last year, but today, when I played again, the issue was gone. That proves it's indeed getting better and better. Some special situations may still occur, and trying to track down the cause must be extremely time-consuming and complicated. On top of that, you're under no obligation to maintain it. You've said it works perfectly fine for you, and in my eyes, everything you've done has been selfless. A mod from ten years ago still being improved today — honestly, I’ve never seen another author do that (at least, not that I know of). I support you, my friend, and I truly appreciate your efforts!

valid crash out
I recommend you to possibly put a "if reporting a problem / bug / glitch, write it in details, also link a console command to it that's possibly related." in the description

Do you think I should test and upload every possible crash possibility completely? I have over 20 stuffs already. How can I fix and test them all at once? How am I supposed to prove all these minor gamemodes by myself, like Tank Run, Survival, etc? How do I know what add-ons you use on what PC? Do you think it makes sense to imagine and prepare for every case? Are you saying I shouldn't do anything? Do you think my job is to be an L4D developer? No, I'm just a player like you. I have nothing to gain by doing this work. but I help you and you don't help me at all. Just throwing tantrums. I wish you'd just gone away.

Don't you know "IT COULD BE" mean? Of course I uploaded it because it's playable enough when I tested. The fact is, none of you know exactly why you're getting crashed. You just say "It crashed, I don't know why". You don't even give a detailed report. Then I test it and it's fine for me. What do you want me to do? Even when the problem is caused by something that isn't mine, you come to me and complain.

Oh, I didn't know you were my boss. Are you paying me a salary? If you're not that and just going to throw tantrums, please just fick off, don't use my shit anything, unsub everything. I don't want to serve someone like you for free.

Why is this crashing? it could be because I haven't finished all my work yet.

I haven't finished all my work yet.

That's the thing, you can take more time and just, not release it yet
that's the thing
you shouldn't be expected to release something unfinished, we didn't expect that, you did that, and now some of us (yeah us cause I kinda contributed with that 1 shitty complain of a comment) are throwing tantrums because you released something that's unfinished and shouldn't be released yet

But I thought it was something I had to do someday. I'm just doing what I have to do. I thought If I did it later, make more confused it would be, so it's best to try to systematize it out now.

And about Tankrun, I haven't checked that yet. But I don't think it's urgent, so I'll check and fix it later. My top priorities are campaigns and realism.

Anyway you guys don't know how to be grateful, just complain easily. That's make me tire out. Are you surely my fans?
Have you ever thought about giving me even just one dollar to thank me for something? No, you didn't until now. even any penny.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for money now. just, JUST can't you at least tolerate some impatient comments? I'm sorry but it even feels kinda rude to me.
If you donated me something, maybe you deserve to complain about my slow work. but you weren't as you know. then, just wait or unsubscribe.

Why is this crashing? it could be because I haven't finished all my work yet. I'm currently preparing code fix for FF Reflector.
Also I don't even sure if my stuff is the problem. I still use my stuff almost and it doesn't crash almost for me. even now. Especially @AishanathaliA, you talking about totally nonsense, i played today and yesterday with my stuffs and I'm fine. if crashes every 2 mins, go find out something else reason.
Yesterday : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSqCD0aeJ7Q
Today : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u64xhMSSgA

Do you guys think there were no problems before I changed how to include common codes? No. The problems were constant. In fact, if you look at the old comments of my stuff, there have been continuous reports of issues. You guys just didn't know about them. Because you don't use almost of my stuff like I do. Most of you only use a few of the things I've made, so who knows what might happen when you use them all?

@ebes Uh yeah, the decision to make this addon a mandatory requirement for most of his scripts is good in theory, but in practice, it causes his affected script mods break the game.

seeing how most up-to-date comments are really discussing the shittiness of this mod, I think I might just uninstall everything I've got from you so far

Sorry to say this. After mod installed, game crashes every 2minutes long in anysituations like idling, exploring or combat

Ever since i added this addon my game randomly crashes :(

@MANACAT It worked for me for a while but then no tank would come out anymore just 1 rarely in tank run mode

@❤༺°GEO_MOD•༻❤ Good thing I'm not the only one experiencing the crashing issue. I honestly thought the issue comes from unoptimized weapon/survivor skin mods I installed for the last couple of weeks.

I came to the conclusion that for some reason this causes crashes in some random areas of custom maps or normal maps for some reason the crashes are due to command changes in some scripts fuck :c

Why do we need this now? I'm not sure but what causes the game to crash?
