[Silvers]

(Screenshot uses l4d_dissolve_time 0.8)

About:

• I first attempted to create this plugin in 2010 and tried several times over the years. Finally it's done!
  
  A huge thanks to Lux and Visual77 who repeatedly tested various methods to fix the issues!
  
  If you simply want ragdolls to fade without the dissolve effects, use the plugin located here.

Thanks:

• Lux - Helped scripting, testing and adding support for LMC.
• Visual77 - Helped scripting, tons of testing and ideas.
• Dragokas - Helped testing.
• Everyone else who tested.
