• [L4D & L4D2] Reload Fix - Max Clip Size

About:

• Mimics the TF2 feature where shooting interrupts reloading unless the clip is empty.
• The cvar l4d_reload_interrupt_restart value "2" can enable auto reloading after shooting or "1" for auto reloading only when interrupted by shooting.

• Because of how the game engine works, when shooting during reload the first bullet is not heard by the person shooting.
• To fix this I've made it play the sound but maybe sometimes that might not work or the 2nd bullet is not audible (especially for machine guns or rapid fire weapons).
• Due to this workaround some might have the wrong loudness. The sound emits from the client not the weapon.
• Also the first shot will not create bullet decals or tracers, but it still impacts entities.
• This only affects the person shooting the gun, others will hear the sound and see tracers etc.

Beautiful.

Thanks Silvers!

This could be decent.

Over the 10 years this game has been out. There really hasn't been any realistic mods or plugins that feasibly nerfs shotguns in my book. After all these years, I still see so many tards that default to grabbing a T2 shotgun and just trying to rat rush to the saferoom and why?...Its still just so effective because the shotty is still so much of a nuclear get out of jail free card. Sure anti rushing methods work, but something that can outright make the shotties more difficult is a win in my book.

Making shotties have super recoil on the move while shooting so spraying and praying would be great. Not asking for it, just saying the obvious really.

Do something about it then.

Great work as always man! Immediately installed this on all my servers along with your new Saferoom Door Spam Protection. So far, so good.

[SkiPlix]

One little issue is sometimes the pistol shoots slower than the actual fire rate after you reload from 0 bullets in the chamber.

[Silvers]

I don't see how that's possible, this doesn't affect fire rate. The only thing is the plugin bypasses fire rate when interrupting reload to shoot so I guess you can shoot quicker when it's trying to reload and being interrupted. That might give you a false sense of increased speed, and when shooting after reloading it seems slower. Unless you have a video showing the actual bug I will ignore.

I reduced the shotgun range that they smokers and chargers become a huge threat as you can't reach them. You can easily do something like that.

[Psyk0tik]

There's an issue with the ammo reservation for sniper rifles, assault rifles, and SMGs. When reloading, regardless of whether it was interrupted or not, the ammo reservation is increased when the reload animation finishes. When you drop the weapon and pick it up again, you get the default max ammo reserve. I haven't seen this happen with any of the shotguns so far.

[Silvers]

Very strange I never had this problem, some last minute changes I didn't test must have broken something somewhere.
