AlliedModders - [L4D2] Switch Upgrade Ammo Types (1.29) [07-Nov-2023]

About:

Allows players press Shift + R to switch between Primary Ammo and Upgraded Ammo.
Allows players to carry both upgrade ammo types (Incendiary and Explosive).
Both upgrade ammo types keep with the weapon when it's dropped.
Upgraded ammo is carried over map transitions or restarts (only in coop/realism modes).
This plugin was really complicated to write (6 re-writes) due to multiple ammo bug issues with the engine.

Incompatible:

This plugin is incompatible with the following plugins:

Multiple Equipments
Improved Multiple Equipment
CS:GO Quickswitch Reloading - Reload speed must be greater than 0.2 seconds.

Thanks:

strikeraot - For tons of testing and the idea and request.
Lux and MasterMind420 - For putting up with my rage while trying to figure out ammo bug issues.
Toranks - Spanish translation.
NoroHime - Chinese translations.
