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.

For example:
grenade_launcher
you can continuously hit the maximum 9 bullets.

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.

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

Ayy no worries! Take your time.

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?

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.
