Customization / Configuration file
After your first playing with this add-on, in the folder Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/dynamic_light will appear settings.txt file, it includes these parameters by default:
Allow = true // Enable dynamic light: true or false Limit = 16 // Limit of dynamic lights GlowPipe = true GlowPipeProjectile = true PipeBlinkInterval = 0.25 PipeRadius = 160.0 PipeFuseRadius = 32.0 PipeProjectileRadius = 200.0 PipeProjectileFuseRadius = 16.0 PipeBlinkColor = "255 0 0" // RGB color, format: "R G B" PipeFuseColor = "128 28 0" PipeProjectileBlinkColor = "200 0 0" PipeProjectileFuseColor = "255 55 0" GlowMolotov = true GlowMolotovProjectile = true MolotovRadius = 200.0 MolotovProjectileRadius = 200.0 GlowInferno = true InfernoRadius = 250.0 FlameColor = "255 50 0" GlowSpit = true GlowSpitProjectile = true SpitRadius = 250.0 SpitProjectileRadius = 150.0 SpitColor = "0 192 0" GlowFirecrackerBlast = true FirecrackerBlastRadius = 250.0 FirecrackerBlastColor = "255 100 0" GlowBurningInfected = true BurningInfectedRadius = 150.0 GlowMuzzleFlash = true SemiAutomaticWeaponMinRadius = 100.0 // Random radius betweeen min and max when you fire your weapon SemiAutomaticWeaponMaxRadius = 255.0 AutomaticWeaponFlickerRadius = 65.0 // Short light to make the muzzle flash more realistic AutomaticWeaponMinRadius = 155.0 AutomaticWeaponMaxRadius = 255.0 MuzzleFlashColor = "250 150 30"

Remove configuration file to reset settings, the script will create a new one.
Also the script loads file after every round restart, or you can just use command !dl_reload

Known Issues
  • Dynamic light may not appear when you're holding molotov or pipe bomb. It's caused by custom survivor models that lack default attachment points, authors of such models may have removed or renamed attachments that are used by the addon.
  • The game is crashing. Mostly, it's caused by addons that burden your game, in this case, decrease the value of parameter Limit in the file ../Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/dynamic_light/settings.txt, it will set the limit of the dynamic lights that the addon shall use.

Hi this mod is awesome! Could you add a supplementary mod for the vomitjar to produce a green glow? There's a really nice green glowing vomitjar skin that would be perfect if you added a glow to it.

@Scout Oh what the fuck. So that's what was making my game lag to unplayability upon starting a game or moving through chapters. Thanks for the tip!

@Gadoga it’s already fixed, just go to video settings in options and turn paged pooling to low
