I usually try to make my plugins easy to install, so people don't have to worry about FastDL solutions.

But, since a lot of people asked for a decreasing sprite according to tank HP, I'm working on it.

The main problem is that the game doesn't have a sprite that reduces in size (at least I didn't found), so I have to create a new one.

Is a new thing to me so is taking some time, but @kazya3 helped me a lot with his knowledge.

Probably will share something soon.

Check this is your last source some cvars are not listed.

The client does not seem to be able to download the custom sprite,this is the consequences of changing the default value "all" of a variable "cl_downloadfilter" to "none".

A bit off-topic, but this has been changed in the TLS update. Nothing I can do.

@Dragokas opened an issue at GITHUB to Valve revert this config (also mentioned on this post).

You can support more about this HERE.

I have mentioned this to Tsuey, one of the community dev members. Hope they add this to the roadmap, cause in some days/weeks they gonna change the matchmaking a bit (I don't have details).

You find more info here on STEAM / REDDIT.

Hi, this is a great plugin but I'm having an issue with the recent update where... none of my cvars defined in l4d_hp_sprite.cfg are... being loaded?

Its definitely saved to the file, example l4d_hp_sprite_survivor_team "2"
yet in game, the value is 3?

I had to put the values in server.cfg for them to actually load properly for the time being.

Hmm, I did a test and it is working 100% for me. I re-upload the plugin just in case.

I wasn't able to reproduce your issue.

Before updating the plugin try to use the command "sm_print_cvars_l4d_hp_sprite" in console and check if the values are updated.

The value shown up there is the same one used in the plugin. (or use "sm_cvar l4d_hp_sprite_survivor_team" in console).

Maybe you confused with the team cvars (there are 4):

l4d_hp_sprite_team
l4d_hp_sprite_survivor_team
l4d_hp_sprite_infected_team
l4d_hp_sprite_spectator_team

The first one is the pre-check that the plugin does to detect if that team should render a sprite, this is done to optimize the code.

The second one is the one you blamed, which will check if a survivor can see a sprite of that specific team.
