[L4D & L4D2] First Map - Skip Intro Cutscenes (1.13) [10-Apr-2022]

About:

Skips the intro cutscene on first chapters.
Should work for all maps including 3rd party.
Optionally uses Left 4 DHooks to detect the first chapter so it doesn't attempt to run on every round_start.

CVars:

Saved to l4d_skip_intro.cfg in your servers \left4dead\cfg\sourcemod\ folder.

PHP Code:


		
			
// 0=Plugin off, 1=Plugin on.

l4d_skip_intro_allow "1"



// Turn on the plugin in these game modes, separate by commas (no spaces). (Empty = all).

l4d_skip_intro_modes ""



// Turn off the plugin in these game modes, separate by commas (no spaces). (Empty = none).

l4d_skip_intro_modes_off ""



// Turn on the plugin in these game modes. 0=All, 1=Coop, 2=Survival, 4=Versus, 8=Scavenge. Add numbers together.

l4d_skip_intro_modes_tog "0"



// Skip Intro plugin version.

l4d_skip_intro_version

in The Passing, it seems not to work properly, I have the screen frozen in first person with my pistol in hand, but I must wait for the "time" of the cinematic to be able to move and aim properly.

I tested this map before release, have no problem.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] First Map - Skip Intro Cutscenes (1.0) [10-Mar-2020]

It seems The Passing does have a problem as Tonblader said.
When you restart the first map, it happened to me when the whole team died.
