You cant edit encrypted files. But I am going to update this mod in the future with better changes as rn its a bit unbalanced

Probably typing into the void here but I tried editing the z_speed down to 80 and my game refused to start a campaign, freezing on the loading screen, is this a known issue when trying to edit workshop files? Never tried to before, but it seemed easy enough. I like my zombies slow like traditional zombie movies. I replaced all instances of z_speed 150 with z_speed 80.

How good are you at scripting? Because I had an idea for something, particularly regarding bullet impacts with infected.

Like, imagine if--depending on the weapons damage-- the bullets hitting the infected causes the "stagger" effect as if you were shoving the infected? I even had this main idea:

Pistols and Deagle could cause them to stagger back, but no chance of a knockdown(they don't fall to the ground like the Riot infected sometimes do.

Shotguns could be an 80%-90% knockdown effect(if the shot isn't fatal).

The Sniper Rifles could be 50% for a knockdown(since sniper rifles don't really transfer energy that well).

And the assault rifles could use a 50%-60% chance for a knockdown effect.

In general, hitting the infected with a shot could cause a basic shove animation to play, but the idea is the script controls which type of shove you get. The idea is just to make something that makes it feel like your actually shooting the common infected.

Two things that would make this mod ten times better:
- Remove the "zombie movement speed" cap (leave it just as vanilla) or allow players to modify the speed, because enemies are quite slow right now.
- Make it so that you can play Realism with this enabled, since choosing Realism with this enabled creates an odd bug where the server internally recognizes the game mode as "Realism" but all gameplay flags and checks remain the same as regular Expert.

Thanks!

Finally, now I would be able to solo L4D2 - C1M4

does the zombie speed affect special infected?

@Stella hey, I'll probably increase their movment a bit. 150 I think is identical to survivors speed at full health, I wanted them to be just as fast as you and no faster, but maybe I calculated it wrong. I'll look into it

@CVBlizzard sure I will look

Can you make it so that custom weapon can keep theyr custom Hud Icon? Kinda bugs me..

this QoL is almost perfect, just needs to increase the infected movement a bit, and increase the desert rifle mag to around 45 I think, because 30 isn't good enough imo

hey hybred could i use your addon to restore the crawling leaker and stomping? i will give you credit of course

Due to feedback I will soon be updating the mod name to not be "improved" since the mechanics changed are subjective.

Secondly I will be rebalancing the mod based on feedback.

Thank you all for support.

this mod just broke my mutations lol

im not sure if one of my comments got deleted but id like to restate my review of this mod which is that it does so little to change gameplay the only noticable difference is the extra ammo which lead to me not changing weapons as much as i usually would which is like during safe rooms or crescendo events but now i didnt need to do that so just get additional weapon performance instead

Heads up Folks, enabling this mod actually breaks mutations similar to an apparent older issue with Helms Deep. To save you the headache of enabling and disabling all your mods (that I had to do :DDDD)

I think you could stand to adjust the commons speed a little; its a tad too easy to outpace hordes on certain events and maps, especially with some of the better melee weapons. I do thoroughly enjoy the weapon handling.

This mod won't work UNLESS you host the server locally or play in singleplayer

"Mod doesnt work in singleplayer" *a recommended gamemode for the mod is literally SINGLEPLAYER*

not causal, a more laid back experience even with more things too shoot

glad to help, also i suggest to change the wording on this page to make it seem more... not "Pretentious"?
my brain is a bit mushed right now so i cant think of the proper word, but maybe try to make it sound more like something for someone who wants a moer causal experience

@snekenjoyer I am changing that in an update due to feedback. Thank you for your input!

People who tend to dislike just insult, instead of giving the feedback I asked for. I appreciate you

really the only change i'm iffy about is the infected being too slow and the snipers being buffed (the snipers can oneshot most infected including specials)

easy mode but addon

0 mod e bom mais o que fico ruim foi mexe nas arms Gameplayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YATtX7V64DI&ab_channel=BECKBRU

im not gonna judge the mod until ive tried it so ill be back to tell yall my results of using it

1-99

I personally think it's a ballsy claim to title this as QOL, it's more a subject of opinion rather than a fact. I'm not dissing ppl who install this mod and keep it this way, it's just that Left 4 Dead 2 is almost perfectly designed imo so saying this is better than Valve's work is missing some points.

ye

whats this?

@Hybred I'm not too sure if this is in my end, but the SG552 does not share the same treatment as the other assault rifles and have it's accuracy changed.

I love this. Thank you for making the pistol useable

when u playing with insane....
=__=

@Hybred The only ones that remain are L4D1 Survival, GunBrain, L4D1 Co-op, RocketDude, Tank Run, L4D1 Versus, Holdout, Dash, and ShootZones. All the others just vanish.

@Hybred I don't remember which ones, but a good majority of the base game ones
I'll boot up L4D2 again later and see which ones are still there

@DrDestrukt how many / which ones?

This mod causes some of the mutations to disappear in the mutations list. Could you fix this please?

I am still looking tor feedback for new "QoL" features to add to this mod, along with value adjustments - if you feel like a value can be increased or decreased or have a feature request let me know!

Ah, fair enough

Even without the infected slowdown and with the slower zombies, they did still give me some trouble on expert, although I am used to that difficulty so it definitely felt easier, especially combined with the increase reserve.

This does seem like a neat mod and I like the motivation for this, I hope you find success in this and future works

@Patchouli Knowledge I respect your opinion, as someone who is a big fan of games like Titanfall I am a huge lover of freedom of movement, movement tricks, etc.

All this mod does in terms of movement is removes the slowdown from zombies hitting you and slow down from doing strafes. The strafes is something you have to most of the time intentionally do to benefit from, so its optional.

The zombie slowdown isn't that intrusive because most of the time the zombies will still slow you down just because of the fact they're blocking you while hitting you, so this only helps getting hit in the back.

I personally like all this & thank you for your feedback.

Imo it just turns the game more into a source mod/gamemode as if it was a half life 2 mod (especially the removed zombie slowdown and slower speed). Definitely makes the game easier.

But hey, if you like that then that’s okay, although I wouldn’t really call it a "quality of life" and instead more so as an alternate gamemode

i'll give a try.

Please leave feedback and suggestions
