L4D1 Common Infected Overhaul

Description
CHECK THE CHANGE NOTES REGULARLY TO SEE A LIST OF UPDATES

This is a project that aims to restore the colorization of the L4D1 common infected with the new L4D2 shader system.
In L4D1, the colorization was handled with the alpha channel, but now, a new shader system uses a different method, and since the old system was never implemented back, they don't have colorization, so white shirts will always be white, for example.
To fix this, I modified both the model and the texture's UV, and used the shader's features. This means that now there are 4 new dirt and blood variants for the same texture.
New bodygroups have also been added, to increase the variety even more. I made a couple of new ones, which increases the variation from 64 to 320, but now with the shader system, the posible combinations are 286.720! and just for the casual urban model!

Some of the features of the L4D2 shader system:
-Each texture has 4 different sets of blood and dirt patterns
-Colorization: Different skin tones and clothing colors
-Reflective eyes: The eyes of the infected reflect the light of your flashlight!

Currently, this mod overhauls all models and textures, aside from the patient body, and the casual and rural female bodies. While the mod is NOT abandoned, and is getting bug fixes, I don't have an ETA on any new models.

By default, these will only show up in L4D1 campaigns and campaigns that use the L4D1 population. If you want them to show up in more campaigns, you need population mods.
Recommended (AND NOT NECESSARY BY DEFAULT, ONLY IF YOU WANT L4D1 ZOMBIES IN CAMPAIGNS THAT DON'T USE THEM BY DEFAULT!!!):

READ THE FEATURES AND THE PROGRESS SECTION TO KNOW WHAT IS INCLUDED. NOT ALL THE TEXTURES USE THE SYSTEM YET. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON MAKING MORE, BUT I DON'T PROMISE I'LL DO ALL OF THEM

There is a way to disable mods being disabled in versus mode, but I think it only works if you host the server.

it's client side, so you can see it on every server (except versus, since it disables every mod)

does this play on official servers or its only local?

Maybe can make another version of this mod?Add the all variety cloth of this mod to common infected,compatible with other improved common infected mods?that will be perfect.:steamthumbsup:

Map from the first picture is from the old Tumtara were you could see all the combinations. I should update that picture one day, because that model has been updated and the colors look a lot better.

Regarding making the mod compatible, it's something out of my reach. The moment the model is recompiled, it causes a conflict with other mods that also affect that model. That's how the addon conflicts work.

why can't you make your mod compatible with other improved common infected mods?

It sounds like your mod got corrupted. You may want to try unsubscribing and resubscribing
