HUD Display Manager
Left 4 Dead 2 has a hard limit of how many players can display in the HUD at the same time, the real hard limit is 4 (Not counting you) but this is rather buggy. It will always show the first actors of the campaign.

This plugin manipulates the data sent to the clients, displaying its nearest 3 teammates instead. You can see it in action in this video.



ConVars

• sm_l4d2_hud_display_enabled
  • Enables the plugin.
    • Default: 1
• sm_l4d2_hud_display_query_time
  • Determines the time between position checks. Less is smoother, but may lead to increased overhead. 3.0 is my personal recommended value but you can adjust it as needed.
    • Default: 3

Changelog

• 1.0.1
  • Better checks to avoid possible errors when unhooking players and map ending
  • Included an alternative compile option to give support to SendProxy includes with an optional per_player parameter
• 1.0.0
  • Initial Release

Dependencies

• SendProxy Manager with per_player support.
  • This plugin was mostly made and tested extensively with TheByKotik's version in mind. Other versions may theoretically work but intended behavior is not guaranteed!
    
  • I provide Binaries for Left 4 Dead 2 Linux here.

Supported Games

• Left 4 Dead 2

Theoretically can work on Left 4 Dead 1 but it is untested.

Download from AlliedModders:

You need to download the .sp file and compile the plugin yourself as the AlliedModders' forum compiler lacks the necessary includes to provide you with a working binary.
