This mod is a WIP.

This mod allows you to implement your own custom weapon for L4D2 without overriding an existing weapon script.
Compiling requires thelpers.

Issues:

• Currently, in order to make the viewmodel and HUD icons fully functional for a client it REQUIRES them manually acquiring the "weapon_csbase_gun.txt" file, which can be done via a workshop mod or just downloading it directly. This is important to note because the client in L4D2 refuses to download anything from scripts/ when joining a server.
  This unfortunately does not seem to have any workaround that I'm able to find as of yet; without the client having the file:
  • their viewmodel will lack arms
  • they will have no weapon icon on their hud's loadout display
  • the model will occassionally bug out for a split second (tied to m_flTimeWeaponIdle being refreshed)
  • trying to reload while full causes viewmodel anim prediction errors until reload button is let go
• TODO:
  • Accuracy stats are not implemented.
  • Penetration and penetration stats are not implemented.
  • Special ammo (incendiary/explosive) is not implemented.
  • All client side impact effects (blood splatter on hitting player/infected, bullet impact + decal on hitting world/prop) are not implemented.
  • Possibly more things not implemented that I haven't thought about.
