Hello! If it is not too much, I have a suggestion: add values for all types of zombies (common, workers, riots, hazmat guys, mud men). Like, man, the uncommon infected on Realism are worse than anything else. They are just insanely hard to kill without melee weapons, and when a horde of such zombies appear (on custom campaigns, especially unbalanced ones), it is worse than two Tanks at once. It also would be useful in general, I think.

You simply want to set the health for each Uncommon infected? For common infected you can set with the "z_health" cvar.

Done.

1.2 (20-Jun-2021)

        "l4d_common_health_u_ceda", "l4d_common_health_u_clown", "l4d_common_health_u_fallen", "l4d_common_health_u_jimmy",
        "l4d_common_health_u_mud", "l4d_common_health_u_riot", "l4d_common_health_u_road"

I know about the «z_health» (thanks anyway) and, actually, I was thinking about something more complicated like adding the amount of damage each type of uncommon zombie takes from a weapon (like, road worker takes XX amount of damage from an M16), but nevermind. Thanks a bunch for quick answer and the update!

Yeah that's way more than a simple request, something for another plugin maybe. I'm not interested in writing a whole config to change each individual weapon and common. This should cover the basics as is. If you want some more in depth post in the request section. I don't have time for something so complicated.

There is a server-sided crash (the client disconnect) when I attack Jimmy Gibbs with melee 100% of the time, between the first and fourth attacks, and I have a suspicion that also sometimes the fallen survivors and maybe others uncommons, but I have not been able to verify this 100%

Also, all commons and uncommons always take the same wound, chest wound. (Value = 0) no matter where you hit them. Jimmy Gibbs has no wounds, maybe it's related to the greater chance of crash with him.

Using my version of nerf damage commons which chooses which wounds to show (all but legs and full head), and setting the melee damage with same value as your plugin, all back to normal, no crashes and correct wounds. Although obviously, the problem that we talked about instakill hitting zombies in group returns.
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...6&postcount=54

In case it helps, these are the values that identify the different commons when you request the gender value:
int gender = GetEntProp(victim, Prop_Send, "m_Gender");
In capital letters, the type of wounds have, detailed list in this post:
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...11&postcount=1
Types: MALE, FEMALE, CEDA, RIOT, NO WOUNDS

0=Standard common MALE
21=Patients and bikers MALE
20=Police MALE
12=Mudmen MALE
13=Uncommon workers MALE
14=Superviviente caido MALE
16=Clowns MALE
22=Female L4D1 FEMALE
2=Female L4D2 FEMALE
15=Riot cops RIOT
17=Jimmy Gibbs NO WOUNDS
11=Ceda uncommons CEDA

All other numbers MUST BE IGNORED and allow them to have vanilla wounds behavior, to avoid crashes with unique mod models like extended common infected.

As an alternative, I would think of you to disable everything related to the wounds behavior (commons headshots plugins handles head wounds with the changes I say on its corresponding post) and allow nerf damage commons plugin to handle them, to avoid duplication in functions.

Tested and happens with ONLY this plugin and Left4dHooks

I found the cause, is this code, since the value "0" is Chest wounds. No wound is "-1"

// Prevent certain gibbed wounds, e.g. to stop legless zombies running around after multiple melee hits or explosions
				if( health - damage > 0.0 )
				{
					SetEntProp(victim, Prop_Send, "m_iRequestedWound1", 0);
					SetEntProp(victim, Prop_Send, "m_iRequestedWound2", 0);
				}

By removing this piece of code entirely, nerf damage commons handles the wounds and everything is back to normal.

For those who don't use Nerf damage commons and still want to avoid legless zombies walking around, just change both "0" to "-1". Keep in mind that they will NOT have any kind of wounds, not even arms, chest, etc... For that reason I created the Nerf Damage Commons code snip.

Repost here because I think is a very useful info for how to use differents plugins together:

First, many thanks to Silvers for this amazing plugin. I think this is one of the best

Thanks to this plugin I finally achieved my goal of removing all instakills from this game, which allows me to experiment more with different HP values for commons and specials without fear of imbalances of certain weapons against others, or even of shoves, which could kill commons and specials with a invariable number of shoves.
I leave here a list of the plugins that I use in coordination to eliminate ABSOLUTELY ALL possible instakills, even fire and explosions if you wish.

- This plugin, of course

- [L4D2] Melee Fix by Mr. Zero
No more kills to SI with an immovable number of melee hits, you can choose the exact amount of damage each hit deals based on the victim class. You can also choose if a melee hit to the head kills them instantly.
Old, but stills works. You need to compile it by yourself. Confirm this works on a listen server, even though the plugin says not to support it, erasing the line that detect it on main.sp (!IsDedicatedServer). Dedicated server tested too. Not forget to erase '#define DEBUG' line on main.sp file or will get a chat message every hit, very useful to check if the plugin works, but not to play. This need to be recompiled with the tools included in the zip file.
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=154366
Known bug: Some custom melee weapons made by the community, such as the Roku Hammer, lose their special stun-stagger SI property. Although that's fine for me, since it seems to me a too OP weapon, being able to stun tanks without them being able to avoid it in any way, with precise timing. Commons still can be stunned harder tan usual.

- [L4D & L4D2] Shove Handler by Silvers
Same function as the previous plugin, but instead of melee weapons, with shoves. You can choose the exact damage dealt to each individual enemy type, or the number of shoves needed to kill them.

- [L4D2] Nerf Damage To Commons by Marttt
Nullifies the instakills with Rifle M60, Pistol Magnum, All Snipers (Hunting, Military, Scout, AWP), Chainsaw, All Melees (custom melees included), Explosive Ammo and Incendiary Ammo.
I recommend using my edit, which allows zombies to lose body parts while alive with the sole exception of legs-related wounds (so no flying zombies), and is compatible with Commons mods as Extended Common Infected with new commons models with different wounds. The partial head can works with the headshots instakills prevention of Common Infected Health active (remember to activate it). Extensively tested on listen server and dedicated server.
Together with this plugin, set l4d2_nerf_damage_common_melee_damage "0", and set your desired value on l4d_common_health_melee "XXX" instead, but don't forget to put l4d2_nerf_damage_common_melee_WEAPON "1" on the melee weapons you desired if you want the % of stuns, and other effects related on the other Nerf Commons Damage cvars
