Is it possible with stripper to replace in L4D2 the static screen of the television by an animated gif ? Like with workshop mods.

Hello, it is not possible to do that with the original models of the game, it is possible to do it by obtaining a custom model through the workshop or gamemaps, and changing the path of the MDL, and then adding it in an object generator and then adding it in stripper, it is the only way to do it.

I show you an image as an example

Ok thank you. Also i looked for tutorials on how to port a model with animations to L4D2 but this seem way to difficult, i have the source does there is an easy way?

Does anyone know which entities can be used to create nav? I've put a bunch of prop_dynamic, but they don't seem to be recognized by nav_edit.

————————

I tried using nav_build_ladder to create a nav for a ladder on an official campaign map and saved it with nav_save.

Strangely, the ladder nav does not seem to be saved successfully when I reload the map or when I use nav_load.

It also fails to save changes when creating a nav connect.

Does anyone know what's going on here? I'm just starting to learn to make changes to the nav mesh and am not sure what I'm doing wrong.

————————

Well, I took a look at the files in left 4 dead 2/update/maps. Copying the .nav file from left 4 dead 2/left4dead2/maps to the above folder, then i saved the changes successfully.

It seems that some update makes it read the .nav file from the former(update/maps) and not the latter(left4dead2/maps). The strange thing is that the path to save the nav file did not change with it.

By the way, removing the nav path at prop_dynamic should allow special infected and bots to bypass these obstacles. Here's an easy to understand tutorial on how to edit the nav mush: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=1981189248

I still need to know how to get nav_edit to recognize the entities created by stripper. Can anyone shed some light on this?

————————————

Got it, use nav_create_area_at_feet 1 to set the nav_begin_area generation coordinates to where the feet are instead of where the cursor is, and then use nav_begin_area and nav_end_area to generate the nav area.

The AI should recognize the manually placed nav area, which might increase the complexity of Stripper, for example by creating a double-story building or a passageway.

Teach AI to go to the top of the building.

The generated nav needs to remove PLAYERCLIP, by clear_attribute PLAYERCLIP

————————————

In some cases the director may not generate Commons because ESCAPE_ROUTE is incorrect. Use nav_anaylze to automatically generate ESCAPE_ROUTE to solve this problem.

nav_anaylze will reload the map, but the saved nav file will not change anything in the reloaded map because the save path is different from the read path. Don't forget to move the updated nav file to the /left 4 dead 2/update/maps/ folder.

It seems that .nav files can be packed into .vpk to work.

These Stripper configuration files modified the routing structure in an unusual way, and also created the corresponding navigation mush.

* The corresponding vpk needs to be moved to the addons folder.

These vpk files in the zip are used to remove the invisible walls of The Parish (required), and also used to modify nav mush.

I'll probably make a version without the invisible walls mod in a couple of days.

My server got DDOSed two years ago [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SXN...voKL5a6sj/view] , so I haven't deployed a dedicated server for Left 4 Dead 2, therefore I haven't encountered any problems related to the invisible wall when designing the map, and I don't really understand the severity of the problem.

OK, thanks for the heads up.

A forklift event for c5m3. Basically another version of [ https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...3&postcount=83 ], but simpler.

What is this prop model by the way? this tire block the way of the player.

You could say which map and where you have found it to speed up things. (always)
