[Silvers]

About:

• Inspired by the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series.
• Something I wanted to create for years and slowly wrote over the past year.
• Video demonstration - Thanks to "L4D2Noob"!

Features:

• Randomly spawns on any map after players pass a certain flow distance. Specify with cvars.
• Spawns in the same place for both Versus teams.
• Slowly moves around and can move up/down stairs etc.
• Electrocutes Survivors, Witches, Common and Special Infected.
• Only possible for 1 to spawn and exist at a time. Please do not request for multiple Anomalies.

Damage Type Values: (used by the "l4d_anomaly_type_*" cvars). Add values together.

Requirements:

1. Uses Left 4 DHooks Direct plugin. Won't work without.
2. L4D1: Requires adding the Tesla particles. See this post by Dragokas for the download. No source changes required.

Updating from 1.9 or older:

• Cvars have changed: use the Cvar Configs Updater, or delete the old cvars config or manually add them.

Installation:

• Click "Get Plugin" and put the .smx file into your servers \addons\sourcemod\plugins\ folder.

Works perfectly. Thanks
I'm going to lure a witch there.

I shot a video to show the anomalies to my players. Maybe it is useful to you as a demo. If I broke the rules with my link, just say, I will delete it.

Hi Silvers, this looks great - another great plugin! I've installed Left 4 DHooks Direct plugin but I'm a little confused about where stuff goe's in tesla-particle.zip

I put these 4 files into my Server and L4D client folders \left4dead\materials\particle

bendibeam.vmt.bz2
bendibeam.vtf.bz2
bendibeam.vmt
bendibeam.vtf

The anomaly works just fine ...

But how do my servers clients download the files ? i assume 'downloads_simple.ini' makes this automatic

If so where doe's 'downloads_simple.ini' go ?
The downloads folder?

Update - i figured it out - installed - SM File/Folder Downloader and Precacher https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=602270

put the downloads_simple.ini in configs ... an now clients download is

All's working great!

regards

Titz

Thanks Dragokas - i just figured it out ... just before you posted thanks for your reply ... hopfully this will help others installing it

I propose for players to add a notification in the chat, which would tell the players that in a certain area of the map, you need to be careful.

If for example this is possible. I just remembered that in CS GO maps are divided into zones, and each zone has its own name.

L4D/2 doesn't have any named areas.

In principle, there is another option, I hope this works. If the electric ball does not appear immediately when loading the card, but when passing through ...

На русском

В принципе есть еже одна возможность, надеюсь что это сработает. Если аномалия возникает не сразу при загрузке карты, а при ее прохождении, то есть, опять таки случайно, то можно обойтись просто сообщением что была обнаружена аномалия, будьте осторожны.
