Anyone know the addon for them error signs from the 3rd to last pick (the one with need to restart)

@SPSick
I'll try that out, thanks

for defib fix, it might be worth using the sourcemod plugin version of it, I use it and it seems to work correctly.

@Rudy The Fox
survivor icon tutorial of cst?

the survivor icon tutorial of cst gonna need more work but take time for what your need

hey do whatever you find is the least mind numbing lol. i support you

Maybe I should ditch parallel arrays and try to learn how to do it like in CWL, one cfg table per character

you know what else you could add that would be cool? a new toggle setting for campaign-exclusive takeovers. meaning you can prevent certain characters from appearing on certain maps (so you wont find two whitakers or two jimmy gibbs in dead center)


now figuring out how to make it work in parallel arrays would be a pain in the ass, but i have a suggestion:

1) assign each map a value (c1m1 = 11, c6m4 = 64)
2) those values can then be added together to specify which maps certain survivors can appear in. taking the example from above, 11 + 64 is 75. you would then just put "75" inside the parallel array and this would mean your chosen character will only appear there.

this might require writing more guides and instructions for other players but it would also further this mods customizability to insane levels.

but what do you think? 😁

@wyngz
Wait, by "rebuild sound cache" i meant that you dont have to do it if you are not editing the wavs of the custom vscript talkers, just in case I said that wrong

i just started messing with this mod but that's great to keep in mind

@wyngz
Are you talking about the voices in the custom vscript talkers?
If so, that one can be any length, but must rebuild sound cache after that

do the voicelines have to still be the same length as the one they replace?

no worries! i actually want to try my hand at making it work eventually. so just the rescue closet would be fantastic. (unless you could also fit in the chance infecteds can spawn in closets, but i wont pressure ya)

as for rescue voice, i got no idea. id say just go for it and figure out the voice later bc there is also the option of just muting every rescue voice

@kouga
Im also wondering how to change the rescue call voice, because it would be pretty weird to hear the voice of the one who died but a different person comes out the closet

@kouga
your other feature suggestions are way past my skill level unfortunately

actually holy shit its near the last page. lol

@ChapCanai
honestly my idea was that once they ran out, there wont be anymore rescue closet survivors. but that can indeed be its own difficulty mod. maybe you could just set it to either loop through the list or stop takeovers. ur pick

if you do want to try it as a standalone mod, why not consider the rest of the features from my dream mod that ive mentioned over here a couple of pages back?

:D it would be INCREDIBLY fun

@kouga
Thats a good idea, thanks, I can try that. What should happen if the closet one dies again? Who will takeover them?
Im guessing use the next closet fella, but after all closet fellas are dead, what to do?
Maybe on closet rescue, it will just grab a random character from the settings (if theyre not already in the team) so no need for the "closet" label in the takeover settings?

hey @ChapCanai! got a question: lets say !survcount is 4 and a character dies....if they get rescued in the closet will takeover happen? if not could you maybe add that as a feature? like as an option in the takeovers setting in the cfg :))

takeovers = ["closet", "random", "clone", "closet"]
• if you put "closet", it will find the next survivor rescued in the closet to takeover

i see you use the King's yusuke kudo beside's AvengedDeathAlert's yusuke kudo

Chur

well thats good im glad you got some working

not 100% working right but better than silence i guess

did you end up getting the voices working?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2631342767

this one works without crashing due to the issues i stated happen to others.

So if Im guessing right most of the the custom maps even if nothing is making themred in add ones are not all stable. man i wish valve would update the game

sadly I hink certain custom left 4 dead 1 campaigns jsut dont want to work where some can. most likley because alot of the old customs have not been brought up to date.

So in conclusion, the source engine is not rockstar advanced game enigne

Well combine the original 8 with the 19 custom it makes 27 due to me using sourcemod

excluding the 19th one which is Sniper of course

@eidonabramm
I tried your settings in buried deep, no problem for me, 18 custom survivors no crash

and i make sure no red on any custom campaign and this should work custom ones that have me start with l4d1 survivors but it crashes when I do.

@eidonabramm
Yes, buried deep, you mentioned

@eidonabramm
I dont have sourcemod to go up to 27

Oh and are you starting at the left 4 dead 1 survivors from there character selection??

May i also see your cst settings?

Hmm what if you used 27 survivors custom?

@eidonabramm
Ok I tried buried deep with 18 survivors (most I can go without sourcemod), and 10 of them are custom survivors. It seems to work fine for me, no crash

Okay it works fine on official campaigns but when I attempt to load for example buried deep custom campaign just before it can fully load into game it crashs me out

"See out here. Freestyle is everything, old fashioned, new fashion, it's all about love of passion. We're gonna paint this whole city black and burn. They say pays the cost to be the boss right? Let's show them who's in charge. So takeover."

Let me see if that works cause I like playing the game with 27 or 28 characters.

What if you set all the char_nums to 0?

Yeah I tested it with just clones of the original eight it seems to work just fine again on not counting official campaigns but all custom campaigns having 27 clones of the 8 dosent cause any problems unless of course the custom maps are unstable with to many bots. But when I enable the custom surviors like Gibbs custom l4d1 maps crash if I cannot select the L4d2 survivors

But if the 27 survivors are not custom, then will it still crash?
