about

• Slow the game time when you do high value kill, all kill weight ratio configuration
  Completely rewrite from Zed Time
• Boost weapon actions under Zed Time, rather than slowing you and zombies(required [L4D/L4D2]WeaponHandling_API)
• To trigger Zed Time, the plugins have Threshold value, Zed Time triggered when you accumulate this amountof kills in a short period of time.
• When players joined the game, this threshold value require amount also increase
• you can config amount multiplier of headhost, melee, distance, grenade, pipe bomb, tank, witch, boomer...etc.

Commands

• sm_zedtime // Trigger ZedTime manually. Usage: sm_zedtime [duration] [timescale]

  remove ConVar threshold_survivor_death and add threshold_bot to instead, fix trigger multiple zedtime cause multi sound effects,
  rewrite some code and less performance usage; 3-March-2022

• v1.5 new feature 'boost movement speed when ZedTime triggering' but didnt recommended, explosion damage wont trigger headshot ; 1-May-2022
• v1.5.1

  command sm_zedtime now can trigger from server console,

  new ConVar *_threshold_burn_ratio to control fire damage causes threshold; 1-November-2022

• v1.6 fixes:

  - now support "Lagged Movement" plugin,
  - little negligence cause movement boost default enabled, that should be optional,
  - remove some redundant code,
  - change forward OnZedTime to "Action OnZedTime(float &duration, float &timescale)",
  - turn code style to hungarian notation,
  - fix boost movement speed cause wrong velocity,
  - support late load; 21-December-2022; 21-December-2022

• v1.6.1 fix rare issue ZedTime trigger on round ended cause wont stop; 13-January-2023
  

Credits

• base idea and rewrite from McFlurry's ZedTime v1.4
  and alliedmods wiki sourcepawn document lol

Known Issue

• if you change zed_time_boost_actions to enable or disable boost movement speed, changes will happen on next map or your reload plugin

Installation

• optional install [L4D/L4D2]WeaponHandling_API to boost your actions under zed time
• put l4d2_zed_time_highlights.smx on /plugins/

Cool !!!

[NikkMann]

This is amazing!

Anyway you could add in the slow down sound effect from killing floor too?
Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei1hL1mZnJY
I could make one so that it lasts during the whole duration (for the default time) and has a "speed up" sound once its over if you want.

Also, noticed that the sound becomes oddly quiet during the slowmo. Anyway to keep it at the normal volume?

yes you can, convert video to sound and put on left4dead2/sound/<file>
but you want server players hear too you might set download server, reference Custom Melee

now improve cvar to change sound file, silence percent, silence fading time

v1.1 add option "silence volume", "silence fading time", "trigging sound"; 1-17-22 v1.1.1 now volume silence and trigging sound also work with native call; 1-17-22 PHP Code: // percent of silence volume[0-100], 0: do not silence, 100: completely silence zed_time_trigger_silence "50" // silence fading time, 0: instantly silence // Minimum: "0.000000" zed_time_trigger_silence_fading "0.2" // trigger sound play to all client. recommanded: ui/menu_countdown.wav level/countdown.wav plats/churchbell_end.wav zed_time_trigger_sound "level/countdown.wav"

Thank you!
But when I try to play my custom sound, it does not work. Any idea why? I tried placing it in level just like the clock sound and edited the cfg to point to it.

Also, found a bug where sometimes gun fire sounds will not return to their original volume after the slow-mo until you reload.

This has something to do with audio caches, I have many custom sounds that replaced the originals but are stored in a different folder. Every time I add a new sound in the sound scripts, I basically rebuild the sound cache in order for it to play the sound the next time I load the game.

Thanks, that fixed it!

Made a custom slowdown sound. slowdown5 is for the default 0.5 duration setting. slowdown65 is for a 0.65 duration, which I think is better.

Place them in your left4dead2/sound/levels folder and have the sound pointer in the generated cfg point to whichever one you need. Start your game and fully rebuild the sound cache using snd_rebuildaudiocache
Restart your game once its done rebuilding and it should work.

slowdown5: https://www.mediafire.com/file/buvcf...down5.wav/file

slowdown65: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8y5ss...own65.wav/file

They were made using this sound as a base, adjusted for the length of the slowdown in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei1hL1mZnJY

this sound is fascinating, unfortunately im stuck on setting up a download server, do you have any good content hosting service suggestions, my server running under 2m
