[L4D2] Medkit Density (2010-06-18)
 

[L4D2] Medkit Density

This plugin can remove, replace, change the amount of medkits at the start of a campaign in coop, at start of every map in versus, at safehouses and in the outdoors. When opting to replaced medkits, they can be replaced with either pills or defibrillators.

This plugin can be enabled in Versus/TeamVersus only or in Coop/Realism/Versus/TeamVersus alltogether for multicoop server that welcome more than the default 4 kits per safe area.

If you need different settings per gamemode, use Thraka's Game Mode Config Loader to change the settings accordingly, though make sure sm_medkitdensity_versusonly is set to 0 then.

The default configuration is ideal for an 8coop game, where the survivors start out with 8 medkits at start and 12 medkits in each saferoom and each medkit found outdoors will contain 2 medkits. (12 in saferoom because the first 4 survivors to arrive in the saferoom usually heal up and take a 2nd healthkit)

This has been tested as working on L4D2 in coop gamemode. It is not tested in a versus game, but should work fine. Please report if you experience any issues.

Installation

Download the "l4d2medkitdensity.smx" and drop into your addons\sourcemod\plugins directory.
Once the plugin is loaded for the first time, it will create a "l4d2medkitdensity.cfg" file in left4dead2\cfg\sourcemod directory where you can change the ConVars noted below.
Prior to installing newer version, delete the old files.

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

I tested it on my dedicate sever.(realism mode, maxplayers 7)
but there's some bugs.

when first map(ex: c1m1) end, start second map(ex :c1m2), there's many many many medkit in saferoom.(over hundred! so my sever is down)

when last map clear(ex : c1m4) and go next missions(ex : c2m1), there's only 4 medkit in startline.

my convar is
sm_medkitdensity_versusonly 0
sm_medkitdensity_start 4
sm_medkitdensity_checkpoint 4
sm_medkitdensity_outdoors 0

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

new version 1.1

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

Thaks for update.
Another bug report.
Test it on realism mode, 7 survivor(1=me, 6=bot)

When survivor reached safehouse, and go next map, Medkit which survior pack on ther back is gone.

my convar is
sm_medkitdensity_versusonly 0
sm_medkitdensity_start 4
sm_medkitdensity_checkpoint 4
sm_medkitdensity_outdoors 0

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

The plugin doesn't handle anything with medkits that survivors are holding/carrying. So, if a survivorbot took a medkit and the next map is loaded, the bot should still have that medkit. Unless the plugin that handles your extra survivorbots interferes somewhere.

Why not test it with 7 people, and see if they all lost their medkits. There's a big chance they will still have them.

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

aha can tell me where the checkpoint and outdoors i don't understand that part O.O

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

start: the 4 medkits at beginning of campaign
checkpoint: the 4 medkits in the saferoom
outdoors: all medkits spread accross the map (that are not at start and not in a saferoom)

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

I tested with 4 survivor.
when survivor reached saferoom with carrying 4 medkit, there's 8 Medkit in saferoom.
But after loading next map, there's a only 4 medkit in saferoom.(4 Medit in the saferoom were gone.)
(Medkit which survior carrying is not gone in this case.)

I set
sm_medkitdensity_versusonly 0
sm_medkitdensity_start 4
sm_medkitdensity_checkpoint 4
sm_medkitdensity_outdoors 0

Re: [L4D2] Medkit Density
 

sometimes i see something fishy.

in {tab} shows that bot doesn't have the medkit but on the model i saw 1 :shock:
thx for the explanation
