The plug-in allows special infected to lose items after death.

All items are divided into categories "Health", "Melle weapons", "Fire-arms", "Explosive weapons", "Thrown weapons ", "Upgrades", "Misc" As there is category No-Drop at which drops out nothing.

All categories divide among themselves the general chance (100%) items losses. If categories type in the sum more than 100% or less than 100% there is a recalculation of probabilities for each category. It means that 100% of "Health" and 100% of the "Upgrades" of near fight will not give loss of two items. They will divide probability of loss among themselves fifty-fifty. In the same way there is a miscalculation of probabilities and for each separate subject of group.
For example:

l4d2_loot_first_aid_kit "1"
l4d2_loot_defibrillator "1"
l4d2_loot_pain_pills "1"
l4d2_loot_adrenaline "1"

Will divide probability of loss of items of group "Health" fifty-fifty - on 25 %

l4d2_loot_first_aid_kit "25"
l4d2_loot_defibrillator "25"
l4d2_loot_pain_pills "25"
l4d2_loot_adrenaline "25"

As will divide probability of loss of items of group "Health" fifty-fifty - on 25 %

At murder infected first of all there is a choice of group of items, then a choice of a item of group. For everyone special infected it is possible to specify the probabilities of loss of groups. As it is possible to specify global No-Drop which will extend on all types of the special infected.

Variables of a plug-in are deprived flag FCVAR_NOTIFY to avoid flooding game by the foreign plug-ins changing probability drops dynamically.

Full cvarlist you can find in l4d_loot.cfg and l4d2_loot.cfg

Reason for Unapproving: Uses same public cvar as existing approved plugin. Author refuses to change.

It is a lie. This plugin was first one which used cvar l4d2_loot_version.

Plugin created 01-16-10 , 23:46
Another one with cvar l4d2_loot_version have another date: 02-25-10 , 13:19

When I have created a variable l4d2_loot_version - it was first cvar with this name. All (approved or not approved) plugins did not used this cvar.
Servers with this Plugin: 10 - in most cases use THIS plugin

[Jоnny]

This autodifficulty works with [L4D2] Loot of Zombies
Chat commands (not team chat, only main): !easy !normal !hard !info

Root admins can use !all easy, !all normal and !all hard chat commands

[dacomb]

interesting plugin but are there not already enough items all over the maps as it is without having the infected drop more?

Not a criticism. Just curious what the motivation to create it was.

[Jоnny]

its good for increased maxplayers ;)
i have 2 servers with increased maxplayers (coop, survival), so its very usefull

[Cuthbert]

This is awesome, I'll try it out the minute I get home. This will be an excellent way to dynamically populate maps with extra items, especially ones that are excessively rare like katanas/machettes (melee weapons). Players aren't given enough chances to use the good side-arms.

I've been waiting for something like this, thanks for putting it together.

[Cuthbert]

Argh, you could have mentioned there's no Versus support. Leaving aside the question of "who the hell wants to play Campaign," it works great on Campaign.

Anyway, it is the only plugin of its kind (that actually has all the items), so I hope you get this working on Versus sometime soon.

done

[FuzzOne]

Got same ploblem as satannuts .

[Ghosthree3]

May I ask how do you use the next campaign command? Also, if you are going to support it, you should make it it's own thread, it's much easier to find XD

[satannuts]

jonny, thanks for the updates... no errors.
You are the man!!

I noticed in your l4d_medkit_fullhealt.sp plugin you mentioned something about a "defib fix for bebop"... seems to be a common bug with bebop...
But that can't be fixed, right?...
Its the same as witches attacking main player and not the clone.

I'm running l4dtools/bebop and the whole suite of plugins you've made!
Keep it up!

Just load the plugin up. No cvars in cfg necessary.
