    Description: Allows z_difficulty to be used to affect gameplay in non-campaign modes

    CVars: l4d2_force_difficulty - 1 to enable difficulty overriding, 0 to disable (default 0)

    How to use: Set z_difficulty to whatever you want (easy, normal, hard, impossible), and set l4d2_force_difficulty to 1

    Results: Common damage and horde sizes/timers (and other director functions) will act like they do in the given difficulty setting, even in non-campaign modes. This lets you run Advanced Versus or Expert Versus servers, etc.

    Requires Left4Downtown2! (At least 0.5.2.2)

    Most of the credit should go to Atomic Stryker for initiating interest in this and finding/adding the forward to left4downtown. I just made a plugin to use it and decided to release it.

    Changes:
    1.0 Inital realease (for l4dt2 0.5.2.0, linux only)
    1.1 Fix for both windows and linux--requires Left4Downtown2 0.5.2.2

    How is this different from using 'sm_cvar z_difficulty whatever'

    In L4D2, z_difficulty doesn't get used in all gamemodes. It's ignored in versus, and probably in scavenge, survival, etc.

    Actually, I think it's only used in game modes where the "base" gamemode is coop. (base gamemode is determined by settings in gamemodes.txt)

    This plugin makes it so the difficulty calculation obey the z_difficulty cvar everywhere

    everywhere is a bit too far. It won't affect things that versus-specific convars exist for, such as SI melee damage. But hey, there are convars for these things.

    Hi, i'm from this thread :http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthr...=141561&page=2
    I tried your plugin 'cause i really want to change difficulty in versus game!
    I downloaded it, and placed it in the Sourcemod's Plugins' folder.
    I loaded a versus map, then i writed "l4d2_force_difficulty 1", then "z_difficulty impossible".
    The problem is that when a zombie hitted me, my health went to 98, (it should be 80).
    So this doesn't work... what i wrong?

    Do you have left4downtown2 installed and upated?

    Check your error logs (addons/sourcemod/logs) to see if it complains about forwards/etc not existing.

    Edit: Just tested this on my server and it definitely worked. Difficulty changing on the fly is fine.

    Do you know some other difficulty calculation function other than GetDifficulty? I think my statement is accurate.

    There is not a single difficulty 'calculation' function, hence your statement is blatantly wrong.

    Do you normally run with that many plug-in errors? It looks like difficulty override is the least of your problems.
