about

• make pistol is real sidearm when you choosen melee weapon or chainsaw
• when you already picked a melees, press the zoom key can swap to sidearm temporary
• sidearm will disappear when you switch weapon or map changed
• idea from a unmaintained plugin by little_froy, otherthing is wrote by me
• translation file default has en/chi/zho, edit your self if you needed
• a little bit complex here, try to make these perfect if i can
• in fact this can support l4d1, but there hasnt reasonable weapon to swap sidearm
