• The higher a players ping, the slower their dynamic light will be teleported to where they are aiming.
• Double tap the Flashlight (F) key to turn on/off the dynamic light.

customized flashlight?

[DrDarkTempler]

Tested out, it works on l4d1 (will try out l4d2 soon)

Is pretty cool, is like a car, you get a low light and high beam

[SyluxLockjaw100]

I've tested it out,it's x10 more helpful to see in the dark compared to the original flashlight,great plugin!

Oh and I still get the dynamic light when I am carrying a gas can,propane tank,cola,gnome etc. Is that supposed to happen?

edit: It seems to only effect the cola

[L4D & L4D2] Teammate Flashlight

It's a fork of Silvers' Dynamic Light plugin. It's based on his plugin.

Changes:

- Removed the "Double tap the Flashlight (F) key" feature. Now everyone has flashlight.
- Removed unnecessary features and cvars.
- Added new cvars and features.
- Fixed the brightness cvar. Originally this cvar changed the size instead of the brightness.
- Changed fade feature. If your aim is close to the wall, the size of the light will be reduced. Like in real life. (It is disabled by default.)

Removed cvars and features:

l4d_dynamic_light_bots
l4d_dynamic_light_default
l4d_dynamic_light_hint
l4d_dynamic_light_hints
l4d_dynamic_light_modes_tog

New cvars:

PHP Code:

// 0=Off. 1=Ignore trace on survivors so the dynamic light will go through them.
l4d_teammate_light_ignore "1"

// Size of the light.
l4d_teammate_light_size "155.0" 


Fixed cvar:

PHP Code:

//Brightness of the light.
l4d_teammate_light_bright "1"

[L4D & L4D2] Dynamic Muzzle Flash

It's an other modified version of Dynamic Light plugin.

It adds muzzle light to gunfires, like it was in Left 4 Dead Beta.

the beta muzzle flash plugin doesn't work can you update it?

The plugin still works, the issue is the default value of "l4d_dynamic_muzzle_flash_hide" being set to "1" which hides the light from the shooter, setting to "0" makes it visible.

I feel hesitant in making a post here because I do not know how this plugin would cause this huge hit registration issue on my Linux server. I found out by gameplay with only this plugin enabled on server (SM1.11). With only this plugin enabled, more than often stumbled/bashed hunter, jockey, and charger take an extra 1-2 melee hits to kill. It also takes a few extra gunshot (e.g. hunting rifle) to kill SIs. And the end result is players feel SIs have more HP on my server. I have no sourcemod coding background so I'm just leaving this here in case anyone else has the similar issue and can look into it.
