Anon Survivors

So, you and three other unfortunate immunes were lucky enough to break into a store full of motocross gear and ski helmets on your way to the mandatory hotel evac site. Although it might not help too much against a horde of mutated death balls.

Replaces all 8 survivors with perfectly generic and anonymous survivors.


Colors match their counterparts, so you don't have to re-learn your new friends when switching from a L4D2 campaign, to a L4D1.


This mod is intended for scenarios with no more than 4 'unique' survivors on a map at any given time. Having more than 4 will not break anything. However, survivors "sharing a color" will both reflect the DMG code simultaneously, even if the other(s) are in good health.

-------------------

For reference since this tends to be important on higher difficulties/online play, I modeled the survivors height and size directly parallel to Ellis' height and size, and used his skeleton. This is because Ellis has the most "generic" height in the game, he exactly matches the height of common infected (when their anims are playing) and even car doors, as well as other things. So watch your fire and be aware of your surroundings; your friends can actually get lost in the flurry of infected if things get bad.

The genericness of this mod will UNDOUBTEDLY make it more difficult to distinguish teammates and will cause hitreg issues online when projectiles are very close to the survivors. Do NOT use this mod then complain to me of this issue. This mod is best used for casual play and/or with friends. Keep this in mind, pay close attention to context clues, and ID your targets before shooting. Remember: the best models to use for flinch-speed gameplay are the vanilla survivors themselves.

-------------------

These models are suprisingly the first of their kind on a technical level: I finally after 6 years solved the issue of missing animations on some local hosted games and incorrect animations in singleplayer for Zoey, Ellis, Nick, and Coach after the animation swap was applied.

Animations are now consistent across both of the de-facto main types: Offline Singleplayer and Official Online Servers.

This involved embedding the right animations into the survivor models after declaring all bill sequences first. Some of the survivors did not have issues due to same-name sequences, so for them there was no need to embed animations.

Still, any missing or broken animations from this point onwards are attributed to any mods a local host/community server uses that modifies models or animations.
Be aware that this, for real now, is an actual unpatchable side effect simply due to the way local hosting works and the millions upon millions of custom survivor addons out there. But as long as you don't step outside Official Servers or Singleplayer games you have zero risk of encountering immersion breaking bugs. It also helps greatly if the local host or dedicated community server uses this addon in particular, obviously.

Take note if you use xDR; animations replacing "collapse to incap", reloading a shotgun, running with a fryingpan, or running with a shotgun will not work for some survivors. The animation fixes present in the models take priority over xDR. Anything else will work as normal though, so have fun. The survivors use Bill's animation set, so xDR mods affecting Bill will affect them appropriately.

Lastly, I am too lazy though to go back and put the fixes on my other mods, and im too lazy to share my discovery with the modding community.

This mod is the pinnacle of 6 years of growing solutions for custom playermodels. This mod utilizes:
- Size Proportion Trick
- Animswap Trick
- My own anim patch
- TLS Bones
- Pro water-transparency with Ellie's light DMG code (You can still see the PM's under water surfaces when boomed or bloody.)

And the more general stuff.
