1) 1) Download and place the l4d2_luffy.smx into addons/sourcemod/plugins.
if you wish to compile it yourself, the include file in the zip.

2) Download the zip file, extract the luffy_models.vpk to your l4d2 addons client game directory.
Note: Place the vpk in your actual client game, the l4d2 game, not server.
Note: DO NOT USE the luffy_models folder. Its there to full fill alliedmoder requirement.

3) For pure l4d2 no custom ingame model, download the l4d2_luffy.sp, open it with notepad editor and change the global virable
g_bWithCustomModel = true to g_bWithCustomModel = false;
the variable is heavily commented, should be easy to notice which one.

4) If you have installed the previous model folder manualy, please delete it.
If you cant find which one, delete the entire folder and verify your game file.

For Online Hosting Sever:
5) you may need to set the varible g_bWithCustomModel = false if you do not wish to ask your client to download them manualy;


Please do take a moment to read the change log at second post v0.9.1 to give you some idea what new bug feature i have invented in case something wrong happen in game before you reporting any issue.

If your server stuck and spawn in the wrong place, please read the server console what script run long that causing it. I have checked and re-do almost everything from scratch and i found none that causing the server to loading asset in a loop. With or without SM and MM installed, my local server get stuck sometime.. this is a positive indication no bad plugins causing the error.

I have the plugin heavily commented, some may acurate, some may not. Keep in mind my last coding was 8 years ago and havent see any ever since.
It should be easy for anybody to modify and tweak for you own version and taste.
I only tested this on my local server. no actual online server..

Please ignore the developer 18+ comment in the plugins. Its still in beta and i need to read it for reminder what changes/should change.

I ll upload the rpg version if i m still alive a couple of years from now.
l4d2_luffy_rpg contain only Airstrike and Homing missile.

Some description below may no longer accurate due to heavy changes.. i ll correct it if i found an appropriate time to do so.
older description

Spoiler

This plugin developed from scratch base on my plugin for CS:S. Since the file size reaching 10MB, i decide to not release it (well sever side download problem).

What this things does?
When Special Infected death, they drop random Lyffy items. If player pick that item, player will get reward base on the model they pick.

Available level
* strength - Player can jump higher, create diferent color spark when shooting SI. Small chance to gain small amount of HP. Chance SI death result in explosion.
* health - Player gain max HP thru level.
* agility - Player move much faster.
* endurance - Player take less damage.
- luck - Ton of benefit.
* point-- - If you unlucky, point will --

Turtle        = Super Strength - make player able to jump higher and make a unique shooting result for few seconds base on setting.
Mushroom    = Player regenerate HP.
White star    = Give random weapon.
Black star    = lolx... give player a witch.
Big head    = hmmm... give player a tank.
Cross        = Punish player.
F18          = Launch air strike.

Be careful.. you may have a chance getting random model changing.

Spoiler

v0.9.1

- clock ability merged into single timer.
- homing missile targeting system updated. it now can bypass entity already in target list.
- added admin command to spawn model for debugging only.
- added admin command to reload map for debugging/refresh all plugins only.
- new cvar is homing missile allowed to target survivor if it idle( no damage done, its in cvar.. just for fun ).
- shield radius is now also the shield damage radius. probably cvar? but that dont make any sense to me.
- added reset client if the player died
- Freeze/Unfreeze and player ability no longer interfere each other.
- new cvar animate healthbar from using medkit on/off.
- new cvar allow countdown hint message. this message kinda annoying.
- removed sprite follow player.
- beam sprite now hardcoded and changed to dorm looking type, old one annoying.
- new cvar allow witch drop luffy item.
- fixed the shield wont remove from world. << i forgot this guy was parented to player.
- updated bunce of varible poorly named and left bunch more. << i m out of sexy name. this rised my OCD level. no longer care
- removed the witch and common infected health check. this will crash the server.
- reinvented color system.. << now simplified and hardcoded.
- re-invented the model selection dice and ammobox dice. roll the dice ahead of time << we should have gained a small preformance improvement if i didnt re-invent new bug.
- new cvar missile allow golowing.
- added check for health animation will stop on ledge grab and continue after ledge revive succsess( untested ).
- added timer to remove the ammobox from world if no player pickup. Dont flood our server.
- added dash for the strength ability to make it less useless.
- tried to address the issue where player get black screen death animation loop during shield active. << not much i can do other than make those player almost in god mode.

- i v decided there will be no wall check in between explosion and the target. we are done with the plugins size.
- no wall check between player shield and the target either. if you woke the witch next room on a narrow path, deal with it and good luck.
- re-invent the missile shooting function to easyly manipulate the desired direction and reuseablity.
- invented new function PCMasterRace_Render_ARGB() at 4K @260 fps for homing missile and airstrike. That right, you read that correctly, except the 4k things if your GC low end.
- reinvent the trace ray function for re-useability. useful to check wall and/or obstacle between 2 points in the future( if i change my mind somehow)

v 0.9 and below

- v0.9 still beta, probably will stay beta forever. no time to coding.

a single object, one fail in the creation chain will abort and reverse the proses
by deleting the unfinish ability (i may oversight few leftover yet).

- added new ability punishment.

- added check if custom model not present, default l4d2 model will be loaded.

u said server side download issue...what's the problem? Maybe I can help fix it? is it related to downloading the models?

[GsiX]

Nop.. the file size way too big.. so client side will took long time to download file before can start play.. my CS:S plugin got so many model and custom sound. Its cool but i decided not to release it.

EDIT: well it is related to downloading the model to client. Way to big.


EDIT EDIT: I haven't decided the player third strike with the HP regenerate. If anyone have issue please comment.

[MasterMind420]

hmm perhaps a fast download server setup with the individual models zipped in bz2 format would help...at least that's how I have my server setup with multiple model files downloading to clients...its pretty fast that way...

[GsiX]

I made a mistake on the number of Luffy can be drop at once. My bad.. you only can get 3 luffy. I will fix it up come with few more model update...

and MasterMind420, i will go to your suggestion after i m done.

[GsiX]

Updated v 0.1.

Delete the old "l4d2_luffy.smx" and "l4d2_luffy.cfg" file. New cvar.

Place the unziped the file and paste it into your installation folder and if prompted please select overwrite all.

[SyluxLockjaw100]

Since when L4D/L4D2 can make clients download server files?

[GsiX]

You mean.. there is no sever side custom file download?

Well mybad.. leave it for single player then..

EDIT: Hemm.. pack the file into .vpk much more convenient. But i m lazy doing it.

[MasterMind420]

haha since I discovered a fix for servers locking up clients and improperly uploading to them...I will help anyone wishing to set it up...its alittle painstaking, but it works... So Gsix there is a way to do it, my server runs custom melee weapons online, uploading all models to clients...
