All items, weapons, melee, etc., all can add a message prompts, players pick up an item there will be a prompt to tell the player the function of this item and the special usage.

Re: [L4D2]Item tips

This idea is similar to what I am working on. I would like to call it [L4D2] Weapon Stats but it heavily relies on Left 4 Downtown 2 extension for accurate reports of each weapon's attributes. I'll post screenshots for the progress when I'm home.

Re: [L4D2]Item tips

This sounds interesting! Can't wait! :D

Sorry for the delay, but I am working overtime. Give me about... 6 hours or a day, maybe? :(

I posted from my phone. :P

Ayy no worries! Take your time. :D

Re: [L4D2]Item tips

Place l4d2weaponmsg.cfg in left4dead2/cfg/sourcemod or the plugin will create it for you upon loading.
Edit l4d2weaponmsg.cfg and place your custom messages.
Example:
cv_weapon_grenade_launcher_msg "You picked up a grenade launcher"

Or leave blank to show no message.

l4d2weaponmsg.cfg
Can not load Chinese.

Can you replace it with PrintHintText?

Simple yet useful. :)

Also, for the time being, I'm trying to add "custom" key values for each weapon. This serves for any plugins that modifies those weapons.

For example:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ...
    "weapon_grenade_launcher"
    {
        "max_clips" "5" /* Even if you leave this blank, the plugin will use the default game convar instead. */
        "max_ammo" "10" /* Even if you leave this blank, the plugin will use the default game convar instead. */
        "damage" "1000" /* Even if you leave this blank, the plugin will use the default game convar instead. */
        "custom"
        {
            "multi-clip_grenade_launcher-l4d2" "1"
        }
    }
// ...

Under there, you must list all the plugins that modifies the Grenade Launcher in order to display this to the client.

PHP Code:


		
			
Weapon Stats: (Grenade Launchers)

Maximum Clip: 5
Maximum Ammunition: 10
Damage: 1000

Add-ons:
- You can have more clips with this weapon by reloading.
