Sounds cool. Thanks for sharing.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Scope Level Adjust [1-January-2023]

Tested on l4d2 sg552 zoom is locked and doesn't allow me to walk without zooming also here is an idea since you binded keys to zoom in/out properly the plugin could be modified resemble the CSS/1.6 zoom e.g: Binding 'e' key to adjust scope level twice after zoom.
I think people will find it amusing & great job as always.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Scope Level Adjust [1-January-2023]

And what about a "hold to zoom" feature like in most other games. Scripts for this never seem to work well.

infact I wrote newer version, that hold extra key to adjust, or adjust when not holding, but i want listen more idea to know people real needed,
and another mode that use one key only, when adjust to border value then reset scope level, how these sounds?

Ah sorry, I did not mean to change zoom while holding , but to actually go to zoom while holding e.g mouse2.

What I had to address when using your plugin is that I can't go out of the zoom mode anymore when using melee attack. But on the other hand, I probably never had to get used to this behaviour when a hold to aim/zoom would exsist in L4D. (as it would just zoom out again when releasing mouse2)

I'm talking about holding vs. clicking feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3AaQzBqd1M

All modern games support that for a while. But it's a missing game feature and probably a bit unreleated to your plugin. I was just curious if it's possible to do with plugins (as you already added features I didn't see before anyway)

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Scope Level Adjust v1.1 [7-January-2023]

i guess i have a similar issue to the person above - is there a way to exit zoom when reloading?

by default, if in zoom with sniper or sg552 and you input reload (or melee-mouse2), it exits the scope and goes back to first person pov. however, when using this mod and in custom/adjusted zoom view, when you reload/melee, you still retain scope view instead of exiting it like normal. is there a way to go back to first person?

other than that, really really great plugin! very nice! :D

EDIT: personally would be nice to include chat hints?

i was think similar idea past time, here must few point to known:
1)we shouldnt change right click bahavior to another that will prevent player shove, so might requires player bind other keys
2)you might meaning ADS experience, actually it better using a model to instead script, but we just have very few mods, i only found two "awp,magnum" ADS model
3)to handles the custom view model on L4D2 using plugin i think very hard, the solution i can think is register sm command, it only scope, not any model change like AIMING on screen center
