🔽This section describes how to install CFG automatically.

1. Subscribe this addon and <Vocalizer For TLTPV>.
   
2. Enter the game and wait for addon to check and load in the main menu.
   
3. Open a map(whatever) on the local server.
   
4. Wait for the CFG to finish writing, done!
   
   

• 🅾Each time you enter the game, you need to follow steps 2 ~ 4 above.
  
• 🅾Switch back to the desktop or leaving the game in the background while the CFG is being written will result in incomplete CFG writes and the function will not work properly.
  
  If the CFG write fails, it will show "Cbuf_AddText: buffer overflow" in the console:

  1. Enter "! cfg" or "! tpv" to reload CFG.
     
  2. Or you can exit to the main menu and reopen a map.
• 🈯For the above reasons, I recommend the second installation method.
  
• 🈯After the CFG is written and functions properly, you can play on the internet server (if it is the first time to use it, you also need to set the TLTPV keys).

🔽This section describes how to install CFG manually.

• 🅾The old version of CFG is no longer available, if you want to update CFG by method 2, you need to repeat the following steps.

🈯The picture shows the old version of the installation diagram, the installation process is the same.

1. Subscribe this addon and <Vocalizer For TLTPV>, enter the game and wait for the addon to check and load on the main menu.
   
   
2. Find and install Left 4 Dead 2 Authoring Tools (not Beta) in Steam Library (check Tools in the upper left corner), then go to the game folder Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Left 4 Dead 2 -> bin and find vpk.exe.
   
   
3. Go to the game folder Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Left 4 Dead 2 -> left4dead2 -> addons -> workshop.
   
   
4. Drag 2238464414.vpk from the workshop folder to vpk.exe and you will get a folder named 2238464414.
   
   Suppose I copy 2238464414.vpk to the desktop and then drag this 2238464414.vpk from the desktop to vpk.exe, then the resulting folder for 2238464414 is on the desktop.
   
   
5. Copy the file with the suffix 'CFG' from the 2238464414 folder to the Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Left 4 Dead 2 -> left4dead2 -> cfg folder.
   
   
6. Open the autoexec.cfg file and write the following:
   
   • 🅾If you do not have an autoexec.cfg file in your CFG folder, then you will need to create one manually.
   exec +3rdPersonMode;
   
   
7. Restart the game or type 'exec autoexec' in the console.

---

1. Before uninstalling, perform a "key initialization" in the game, then exit the game.
   
   
   
   
2. If you installed CFG via method 1, then unsubscribe; if you installed CFG via method 2, then you also need to remove or comment the following content in autoexec.cfg：

• Campaign / Non versus
  
• Local Game / Online Server that allows TPV

• Look into the "Installation & Uninstallation" section of <The Last Third Person View Guide>.

• You still need to subscribe to 👉Vocalizer For TLTPV . Look into the "Key Settings" and "Advanced Features" sections in <The Last Third Person View Guide>.

• If the parameters of the third-person perspective of L4D2 are not c_maxyaw 0, c_minyaw 0, c_maxpitch 0, c_minpitch 0, then there must be deviations and cannot be corrected.
  
• Find a distance you think is appropriate to shoot at the wall ( hunting rifle is best), then adjust the aim to the center of the bullet hole in the wall by press < Trajectory + > < Trajectory - > key.

• Before you play the versus online, use the button 'Default FP/Restore TP(默认第一人称/回到第三人称)' to return to the default first person perspective, you can play the versus online now.
  
  

• Use the "Function Key" button to switch person perspective instead of "Default FP/Restore TP(默认第一人称/回到第三人称)".

• If your view keep shaking, there are two possible scenarios:
  
  1. Installed third person mods with auto aiming, such as Aim and Shotgun sounds for Thirdperson Fix.
     
  2. The data of c_maxyaw and c_minyaw pair parameters and c_maxpitch and c_minpitch pair parameters are inconsistent (such as inconsistent signs and inconsistent decimal points) in your original third-person perspective.

• If you use the normal sniper closing method, the scope will automatically open again when the opening action is interrupted by any active or passive action such as jumping, changing ammunition, or shove away.
  
• If you feel this experience is not good, please use the switching item to turn off the scope.

• Sometimes the game will automatically return to first person view when the character is respawned, or when you enter the next chapter, then you just need to press < FUNC > or 'CTRL' to return to third person view without changing the settings you have set in the game.
  
  🈯If you are playing on a local game, the above situation has been fixed as much as possible.

• Known players will lose their HUD if they switch to third person view when character is controlled by a special infected in the first person view.
  
  💌Please let me know if you have a solution.

• Yes, this addon contains CFG files and scripts, saving and loading from customize scenarios requires scripting functionality.

• Yes, if you continue to choose to manually install CFG files. If you feel trouble, choose method one to automatically install CFG files. Because some imperfections in CFG still need to be repaired.

• Click here: <Shotgun Sound Fix>, local server only.
  
• Or use the collection: <Third Person View Shotgun Collection>

• Click here: <Flashlight Fix>

• The original way of saving parties via mouse macros or keyboard macros is no longer recommended, it is recommended to save the scenario in the local game according to the prompts.
  
• If the local script does not save and load, please check for script conflicts.
  
• If you only want to use TLTPV without the Vocalizer For TLTPV, then you can set up the keys and save your scenario, then turn off Vocalizer For TLTPV in the addon list and finally turn on the Vocalizer addon you were using.
  
• If the script shows that the save function is normal, and the custom scenario is not actually saved, because folder does not have the permission to write. Unread-only the 'tltpv' folder in Left 4 Dead 2 -> left4dead2 -> ems.

• You need to load the script in the single player game.

• Theoretically the GamePad can also be used, but the function of explicitly occupying the keys is ineffective and may affect the key settings of the GamePad or Steam Deck.
