QoL: Improved Mechanics

Description
This mod is a quality of life enhancer mod that improves gameplay and mechanics.

Features

- Removes deacceleration on strafes or when making abrupt turns
- Zombies hits no longer lock you in place by slowing you down drastically
- Reduces zombie movement speed from 250% to 150% so they're not unrealistic super sprinters (there speed is now equivalent to yours when you get into orange health)
- Removes movement speed penalty from weapons / unifies movement speed
- Reduces weapon bloom, which is a controversial mechanic that punishes players who are accurate by adding RNG weapon spread instead of just shooting where you're aiming (doesn't completely remove the mechanic due to how range works in this game it would make certain weapon classes obsolete)
- Adds more ammo to the reserve of certain guns, increases damage of sniper rifles to not make them useless

These changes make the game feel and play better however they do make it easier, so I'd recommend increasing the difficulty by +1 of what you usually play at

Disclaimer: This mod won't work unless you host the server locally or play in singleplayer

You cant edit encrypted files. But I am going to update this mod in the future with better changes as rn its a bit unbalanced

Probably typing into the void here but I tried editing the z_speed down to 80 and my game refused to start a campaign, freezing on the loading screen, is this a known issue when trying to edit workshop files? Never tried to before, but it seemed easy enough. I like my zombies slow like traditional zombie movies. I replaced all instances of z_speed 150 with z_speed 80.

How good are you at scripting? Because I had an idea for something, particularly regarding bullet impacts with infected.

Like, imagine if--depending on the weapons damage-- the bullets hitting the infected causes the "stagger" effect as if you were shoving the infected? I even had this main idea:

Pistols and Deagle could cause them to stagger back, but no chance of a knockdown(they don't fall to the ground like the Riot infected sometimes do.

Shotguns could be an 80%-90% knockdown effect(if the shot isn't fatal).

The Sniper Rifles could be 50% for a knockdown(since sniper rifles don't really transfer energy that well).

And the assault rifles could use a 50%-60% chance for a knockdown effect.

In general, hitting the infected with a shot could cause a basic shove animation to play, but the idea is the script controls which type of shove you get. The idea is just to make something that makes it feel like your actually shooting the common infected.

Two things that would make this mod ten times better:
- Remove the "zombie movement speed" cap (leave it just as vanilla) or allow players to modify the speed, because enemies are quite slow right now.
- Make it so that you can play Realism with this enabled, since choosing Realism with this enabled creates an odd bug where the server internally recognizes the game mode as "Realism" but all gameplay flags and checks remain the same as regular Expert.

Thanks!

Finally, now I would be able to solo L4D2 - C1M4 :lario:

does the zombie speed affect special infected?
Hybred  [author] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 3:34pm 
@Stella hey, I'll probably increase their movment a bit. 150 I think is identical to survivors speed at full health, I wanted them to be just as fast as you and no faster, but maybe I calculated it wrong. I'll look into it

@CVBlizzard sure I will look

Can you make it so that custom weapon can keep theyr custom Hud Icon? Kinda bugs me..

this QoL is almost perfect, just needs to increase the infected movement a bit, and increase the desert rifle mag to around 45 I think, because 30 isn't good enough imo
