[L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size (1.5) [21-Apr-2024]

Fixes:

Reload animation glitching when a modified clip size is full.
Shotgun animation stopping after reloading 15 bullets.

When using Left4DHooks L4D2_SetIntWeaponAttribute(classname, L4D2IWA_ClipSize, XX);
- OR -
Info Editor to modify "clip_size" key value.
- OR -
some other method to modify the clip size e.g. directly modifying weapon.txt script files (L4D1).

For some reason detouring "CTerrorGun::Reload" using the VTable method kept crashing, so I've gone with using signatures.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size (1.0) [01-Sep-2020]

Sorry, will you also fix autoshotgun(including spas) reloading animation glitch?

This glitch only happens when
you start to reload shotgun from 0 to 15 or above.
One day, I used Info Editor to modify autoshotgun "clip_size" key value to 20, and I just found this glitch.
This animation glitch doesn't affect anything, just a question here

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size (1.0) [01-Sep-2020]

Also, if player has full "edited" clip and try to reload, animation start an break in a second.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size (1.0) [01-Sep-2020]

This will work nicely on my server.

A few observations. While this does fix the constant animation glitch there is still some room for improvement. I have reduced ammo for the shotguns on my server, so clip size is 8 and 9 for Spaz and autoshotgun. The animation glitch still happens when you try to reload on full clip. Again its just visual, but it does happen. I'll provide more feedback as I do more testing.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size (1.0) [01-Sep-2020]

Are there any issues that could come up when using this plugin while there was no modification to the clip size?

That's the best the plugin can do due to client side prediction, without this fix the animation would constantly spaz out trying to start for a few seconds.

Shotguns don't trigger the function being detoured, but also don't spaz out constantly trying to reload for several seconds like other weapons.

No it shouldn't affect anything, but in the next version will ignore doing anything when the clips stock size.

I looked it up and apparently Ladder Rambos had the same issue. Maybe add it for shotguns as well? I'll see if I can provide windows signature.

PHP Code:


		
			
"CBaseShotgun::Reload"

{

    "library"    "server"

    "linux"    "@_ZN12CBaseShotgun6ReloadEv"

    "windows"    ""

}

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size (1.0) [01-Sep-2020]

Should be the windows sig, already had some shotgun functions reversed for windows, i'v never tested to be 100% sure.

PHP Code:


		
			
"CBaseShotgun::Reload"

{

    "library"    "server"

    "linux"    "@_ZN12CBaseShotgun6ReloadEv"

    "windows"    "\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x56\x57\x8B\xF1\xE8\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x8B\xF8\x85\xFF\x0F\x84\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x8B\x87\xD4\x1C\x00\x00"

    /* ? ? ? ? ? ? 56 57 8B F1 E8 ? ? ? ? 8B F8 85 FF 0F 84 ? ? ? ? 8B 87 D4 1C 00 00 */

}

I actually went ahead and tried the shotgun thing and it doesn't seem to work. I'll leave the source here if anyone want to tinker with it.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size (1.1) [05-Sep-2020]

Updated:

Code:

1.1 (05-Sep-2020)

    - Now prevents changing anything when the max clip size is unchanged.

    - Added a fix for shotgun reload animation stopping when reloading >= 15 bullets at one time.

    - Thanks to "fbef0102" for reporting.

    - GameData file updated.

I don't see an issue with shotguns when a modified clip size is full, the animation glitches once and stops (unlike the other guns which repeatedly glitch for several seconds). The same would happen if the fix was applied to the shotgun so it's not necessary. If this is wrong show me a video of the issue.
