Super Tanks - Complete Guide
By ₦Ɇ₲₳₦ and 1 collaborators
  • The creator of this mod is Everice.
  • Mod page is Super Tanks
  • In this guide, detailed explanations of all features are included.
  • This mod is based on VSLib.
  • This mod works with custom campaigns but may cause crash or visual glitch if you use the mod with very detailed campaigns such as Chernobyl.
  • This mod only works in local host server and dedicated server.
  • Both Ultra Particles and Textures mods are optional but you will not see some tank effects without these. If you already sub'ed to every tempest's particles mods you don't need to sub to All in One Ultra Particles in requirement items.
  • It is not recommended to use this mod in custom maps such as; Tank Challenge, Tanks Playground.
    If you use the mod on the maps I gave as an example, it might cause the game to crash quickly, let alone the chaos that will occur. If you want to use the mod on maps with a lot of tanks, you can set a configuration that only allows common super tanks to be spawned in relevant sections to minimize the possibility of the game crashing.
  • This mod is an art of work for those who want to have a new and different experience in scenario-driven maps, whether official or custom.
  • This mod is constantly being updated. This guide will be kept up to date with the mod.

Configuration Files and Mod Settings (Part 1)
  • In order to create the location of these files on your computer, you need to start the game and create a session on local server once. Then the location where these files are will be as follows.
    Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Left 4 Dead 2 \ left4dead2 \ ems \ evericemod \ super_tanks
  • For old users of this mod: You can remove old super tanks folder (supertanks that is in ems folder as it's no longer use.
  • The settings have 10 seconds delay before load into the script to take effect. Which means, if you change any setting, it will take around 10 seconds before script applies the changes you made in setting files.
  • These settings can also be changed during the game. But these settings can only be changed in their specific files and cannot be changed in console.
  • The explanation of each of these settings can be found in this section of the guide.
  • The detailed descriptions for every super tank can be found in the other sections of the guide. But every single one of them was descripted with their default values. Which means, if you see numeric values such as; %70, 15, 15.2, or a sentence that defines a numeric existence, this means all of those values can be changed.
  • Recommended settings for 2 files were also added.
  • There are 4 classes of super tanks from the weakest to the strongest (Common - Variant - Overlord - Hidden)
  • A stronger class has priority over a weaker class while spawning one.

  • general_setting.txt
    • This file contains general settings.

  • tank_power_setting.txt
    • This file contains power settings of super tanks.
    • Every power has different settings inside their block '{ }'.
    • There are so many power settings in this file. But default settings are good to use. If you want to make any changes in specific settings the title of a setting is good enough to explain what it is used for.

  • custom_tanks (Folder)
    • This folder contains custom tank files.
    • You can add, remove and edit your custom tanks using these files.
    • You need to make sure the file size doesn't reach 12kb or the file will not load.
    • It is recommended to use another custom tank file if the size reaches 12kb. You can change the number of custom tank files by editing 'Number_Custom_Tank_File' value inside general_settings.txt.
    • This is how one of these files must be. Every tank block must be named differently. If you have 3 custom tanks, then the block names for all 3 tanks can be like this: Tank_001, Tank_002, Tank_003. It is not important how you name it. But you need to make sure there are no empty space characters between words such as 'Tank 1' or 'Tank 001'. And every custom tank must have the values below.

      #You can add your comments above here by starting a line with the sign '#' Tank_001 = { Tank_Name = Custom_Tank Enable = true Tank_Class = common Base_Health = 4000 Base_Damage = 100 Glow_Color = r255,g255,b255 Skin_Color = r255,g255,b255 Skin_Alpha = 255 Glow_Type = 3 Glow_Flashing = false Fire_Immune = false Variant_Fire_Immune = false Powers = Fire,Acid Difficulty_Appearance = 5 Finale_Only = false }

      • Powers: You can set which powers your custom super tanks will have. You need to be specific while making this. You can use those powers as many as you like using comma(,) to separate each power like in these examples below.

        • Powers: Acid,Swift,Fire (All powers will be based on 'Tank_Class'.)
        • Powers: Acid_Common,Swift_Variant,Fire_Overlord (All powers will be based on each power class that you specify after a power's name like in this example.)
        • Powers: Acid,Swift_Variant,Fire (Only 'Swift' power will be it's variant power. The other powers that you specify will be based on 'Tank_Class' if you don't specify a power class for those powers.)

Recommended Mod Settings
  • I personally think these are the best settings for veteran players who look forward for a challenge and the full super tanks experience.
  • These are my settings for each mod file.
  • Before you customize your settings, it is recommended to visit the first two sections of this guide to get a full information of how the mod works.

  • general_setting.txt
    #You can add your comments above here by starting a line with the sign '#' Disable_All_Powers = 0 Godmode = 0 Godmode_Bots = 0 Hidden_Tank_Chance = 1 Hidden_Tank_Enable = 1 Hidden_Tank_Health = 4000 Hidden_Tank_Health_Multiply = 0.0 Hidden_Tank_Limit = 1 Hidden_Tank_Variant_Chance = 30 No_Hidden_Tank_After_Restart_Times = 2 Overlord_Tank_Limit = 2 Tank_Health_Bar = 0 Tank_Rewards_Type = 0 Tank_Spawn_Notify = 2 Tank_Spawner = 0 Spawn_Custom_Tanks_Only = false Number_Custom_Tank_File = 1 Spawn_Both_Tanks = false Spawn_Mod_Tanks_Only = true

  • tank_setting.txt
    • Since there are so many tanks in this file, i'll only share a copy of one. I personally use same values for all tanks in this file.
    • Before you change these settings, there are a few very important things you should know. I never touched these settings: ''Base_Health'', ''Difficulty_Appearance'', ''Enable'', ''Finale_Only'', ''Fire_Immune'', ''Health_Multiply'', ''Overlord_Base_Health'', ''Variant_Fire_Immune''. These settings can be used as their default values. When you copy-paste, only take reference the other settings instead of these.
    • But be very careful. Some tanks don't have specific settings. For example, ''Death Tank'' does not have ''Base_Damage'' setting. Or ''Fire Tank'' does not have ''Fire_Immune'' setting. Before you copy-paste, make sure you don't make that mistake.
    • Another warning: Some tanks don't have their overlord versions yet. So their ''Overlord_Chance'' settings are set to 0. It is best to keep it 0 for those tanks to prevent bugs.
      #You can add your comments above here by starting a line with the sign '#' Base_Damage = 100 Base_Health = 4000 Difficulty_Appearance = 5 Enable = true Finale_Only = false Fire_Immune = false Health_Multiply = 0 Overlord_Chance = 5 Overlord_Base_Health = 4000 Variant_Chance = 30 Variant_Fire_Immune = false

  • tank_power_setting.txt
    • Power settings can be used as their default values. There is no need for a change. This is totally optional. But it is up to you. You can change every single value.

Custom Super Tank Suggestions
  • Here are some custom super tanks i configured myself.
  • You can use these custom super tanks as you wish. You can also edit their values as well.
  • Personally, i did not want these custom super tanks to glow in any color. So i disabled them. But you can change as you like.
  • I did not combine more than 3 powers for a single tank. Which means i wanted to create meaningful concept super tanks. But be really careful. These are already overpowered for so many players out there.
  • I might add new custom super tanks later under this section.

@Nerdgear , I feel like combining anything with Swift or Death makes them too op
But yeah, when you change some power settings, they can easily become nightmarish

Honestly, speaking Mach Rush isn't the worst one, but this one is an actual true nightmare for me.

Rhino Tank = Shield [Common] and Earthquake

He's based on Warframe's Rhino. The Shield acts like Iron Skin (He cannot take any damage until its depleted) and the Earthquake is basically his Stomp, but more spammy. This how I truly understand about enemies fighting him.

Nerdgear 19 Aug @ 1:12am
