L4D2 Plugins

This repository holds the plugins sourced or developed for the Survival Buds community L4D2 survival servers, we aim to provide enhanced L4D2 survival game experience while respecting the original game design as much as possible.

You are welcome to use the original plugins on your server, the other plugins belongs to the respective authors and developers.

Original Plugins

Vote for Random Survival Map

Allow player to trigger a vote to change to a random map. The plugin is built on NativeVotes to allow player to vote using F1 and F2 keys (similar to vote-kick).

Requires NativeVotes to be installed (including the include files and installed as a plugin).

Command: !randommap

Break Stuff

Commands to break glasses and graves.

Commands: !breakglass, !breakgraves

Reset Survivor Health on Survival Round Starts

Reset all survivors health to 100 when a survival round starts

Adapted Plugins

Gas Config

Enable players to load presets of gas cans / propane tanks / ammo boxes locations created by admins.

Command: !gasmenu

Based on khan's GasConfig. Modified for latest SM compiler and fixed file permission issue. See // Modified tags.

Friendly Fire Report

Displays how much friendly fire damage you have dealt/received (!ff), and how much friendly fire has each survivor dealt (!ffe).

Commands: !ff, !ffe

Note: SM's built-in basetrigger plugin also uses "ff" as a command to allow player to check whether FF is enabled. To avoid conflict, edit plugins/basetriggger.sp, comment out the line RegConsoleCmd("ff", Command_FriendlyFire);, recompile the plugin and replace plugins/basetrigger.smx. The "ff" command will still work because the plugin also listens for "ff" using "OnClientSayCommand_Post".

Based on Gravity's Friendly Fire Report. Modified for latest SM compiler. See // Modified tags.

Slay bots

Kill all bots (non-human survivors).

Command: !slaybots

Based on ozzy's Slay bots. Modified for latest SM compiler. See // Modified tags.
