!h doesnt do anything

Hey, idk if you're still active with the mod or not but while running through the passing, chapter 2 was softlocked for me since doing !s did absolutely nothing, and this is what was being put in console after typing the command, might help debug or whatever. :P

There is a class-based mutation you can draw inspiration from for a multiplayer of this.

i like it but i dont get how to use the inventory plz somebody tell me how to use it
WallyveR 21 Jan, 2020 @ 2:28am 
please keep this active. This is awesome

rpgmenu is kinda bugged..sometimes it stuck
Alex_D #NoWar 8 May, 2019 @ 9:13am 
However, I must admit that panic events are teeth-grinding since you're all alone, cornered by Common Infected, puked on, and then a Spitter shows up...

Also some campaigns (Redemption) are assholish enough to force-spawn a Smoker.
Alex_D #NoWar 8 May, 2019 @ 9:10am 
- Weapons' clip size has been modified. (smaller than their original)

Funnily enough, it's the reserve ammo pool that is drastically reduced, making ammo reserve not big enough to refill the magazine in one reload. You will run around with a Desert Rifle with a sixty-round magazine and twenty rounds in reserve. It is still playable, as you receive almost as much ammo as you spend and you are never overburdened, making ammo conservation necessary.

How to use this mod?
Victorious the stylin red Dragon 10 Aug, 2018 @ 7:56am 
i thought it was easier XD. still like it. had to restart my round 10 times. possibly cause i choose sacrifice.
Victorious the stylin red Dragon 10 Aug, 2018 @ 7:22am 
i sure like this mutation. it is so cool :3 im all into randomness.
The Neighbor's Cat 10 Jul, 2018 @ 2:51am 
can you get higher than level 5? that would suck if not...
Quarante-Cinq 3 Jun, 2018 @ 9:48am 
good mutation BUT, i make a campaign and i met a Endless Wave of zombie and i can't make nothing, for the campaign, i need to take gascan and fill a generator, but with a endless wave, it is not possible to fill the generator
BlakSpectre_64 31 Dec, 2017 @ 5:46am 
this mutation is interesting, but, at least for me, i couldn't load my charcter's data manually

I gotta say, this has to be one of my favourite mutations. So damn fun. I do have some reccomendations, though.

1. Starting at 50 max health and getting more based on your level

2. Getting more reserve ammo based on level

3. Having more SI would be cool, although considering the only non-pinning ones are the Boomer and Spitter, modifications would be needed. Maybe when they pin you, it only does a bit of damage and then they get kicked off? Maybe some of them only appear on higher difficulties? CI damage might have to be turned on in that case, though.

4. A 2 player mode would be cool, along with a versus mode too. I don't know if you can reduce the lobby stuff to only 2, or on the versus have it be 4 and have the Infected be selected.

Also, I agree with Bubble; your English is fine. A bit weird at times, but still understandable.

Thanks :D
Bubbles 9 Jun, 2017 @ 12:19am 
your english is fine :)

Forgot to add, Maximum Reserve Ammo is way too low. If you make it 100-150/120-160 for AR's, shotguns about 30 slugs, Standard sniper for 60 bullets and Military for 90, should be more fair, dont you think? Since we already gather ammo slowly by killing, at least add meaning to it, if you're still updating this, that is.

Got a problem here.

"AN ERROR HAS OCCURED [the index 'tointeger' does not exist]"

Any way to fix that? Other than that, we need zombies drop lootable first aid kits and such for balance the issue of lack of permament healing items. Other than that, this mode is sweet.

No, it is singleplayer only.

does it work this friends?

Amber 8 Aug, 2016 @ 2:10pm 
@Otacon Generally,the only way to fix this sadly is to Exit out of Left 4 Dead 2,and then Re-enter it,and Disable it(Dont play on the mutation before hand,or you'll have the same results)and then play say Single-Player or Campaign,and your stats will continue as usuall! Or if you dont wanna Restart Left 4 Dead 2,just simply join a random server!
Augustus 9 Jan, 2016 @ 3:05pm 
Wouldn't mind higher levels than 5 though. Got to it before even finshing the campaign without focusing it.
poM  [author] 9 Jan, 2016 @ 2:56pm 
@Asriel the Aberrosexual
Nice :D
Augustus 9 Jan, 2016 @ 10:51am 
Was fun and didn't break. :)
Amber 24 Dec, 2015 @ 5:29pm 
AWESOME MUTATION! I love Left 4 Dead 2 and I also like Rpg elements,I thought that maybe after u level up all the way you cant get ANYMORE healthkits (even at level 1) you could make it so zombies can carry items like that? but yet very RARLEY! Also could u make a Multiplayer Version of this or a...well Versus version of this :D I was thinking also maybe more levels and if you do a Versus Version of this I think your stats should stay with you at ALL TIMES for your infected charecter,like maybe Level 2 increased health or damage Level 3 quicker Ability Recharge level 4 Increased attack range(ex Smokers tongue being able to reach further) level 5 could be say???? oh dear i had a hard time thinking the previous one up Level 5 could be Higher Infected Speed? and then if You add more levels then I guess it just gets higher from that point forward with whatever attributes you feel like adding,Like over max health etc Keep up the work :D
The Courier 1 Sep, 2015 @ 12:28pm 
okay, this mutation has me completely hooked. since ammo is really low, you're always concerned about it, and you really need to think about which weapons to bring, sure enough, if you find a chainsaw, and let it run out, you get one pistol, but wouldn't you rather have that katana so you have a weapon that doesn't run out, works fast, and kills many infected in one hit?

Seriously, I love it. AND the fact that you can earn pills, as well as having a small chance to heal.

But therein lies a small problem. Health, and first aid kits. Currently, the only way to gain another health kit, is to level up. And you can only level 4 times. So that makes 4 first aid kits.
it's essentially fine, but players need another way to also gain permanent health instead of first aid kits. Perhaps by killing special infected. Or temporary health added every time you kill so and so many zombies.

Just some ideas :D Love the mutation otherwise.
Otacon 17 Aug, 2015 @ 7:00pm 
I seem to have encountered a problem: After disabling the addon to play something else, I noticed that my ammo count is still the same limit as when the addon is enabled, and I cannot change it back. Would anyone happen to know how I could fix this?

Take it back. You would have to be a god to finish a campain on EASY. >.>
Scratch 9 Jun, 2014 @ 2:50pm 
VERY challenging mod, I love it!
Gilamex 12 May, 2014 @ 6:00am 
Seems kind of complicated. Would be nice if your attack power and HP/defense increase with each level up like a real rpg. :p
poM  [author] 15 Mar, 2014 @ 6:50pm 
@Dimon4ik: )
Deploying ammo pack (incendiary or explosive) is the opening chestbox.
I call it chestbox just to make it sounds like an rpg. :P

use !c in chat to get one.
диман4ик 15 Mar, 2014 @ 4:48am 
how open chestbox
Mr. SmallPenis 25 Feb, 2014 @ 4:38pm 
Yeah, i dont really like this, its hard and lonely...
Bacon 🥓 22 Jan, 2014 @ 4:12pm 
how do you even start this??
tubs 19 Jan, 2014 @ 12:45pm 
can you add in the rest of the specials?
q:{The-Best-Shadow-Man}:p 12 Jan, 2014 @ 7:13am 
when i finish a chapter its said to me press !s i press it and it dont work
BabyRabbi 29 Dec, 2013 @ 4:44pm 
maybe its just me, but no matter what map i play on the first level is fine, but level 2 NEVER WORKS. and every level after that doesnt work. i also find it a bit too hard, even on easy zombies still do a max of 20-25 damage per hit for me, but that just might be me sucking... but yeah this would be alot better if it worked for more than 1 level and if it was a teensy bit easier.:boomer:
TyrantLyzardKyng 25 Nov, 2013 @ 5:28pm 
any way you can add skills and more levels? I would love to be able to say gain small amount of health my investing points or modifying reload speed, etc.
poM  [author] 14 Nov, 2013 @ 10:27am 
@Chaoticracer
I think about it,too. I think I will let player to type a command to pick a class.
Then item they get from chests will depend on their class.

The problem is 'if player forgot to choose their class how can I assign a default class to them'? Since I find some triggers that fire game events are quite complex.

The best I can come up with is if they forgot to choose their class then let them play like that. :P
ChaoSquid (quickliem böi) 14 Nov, 2013 @ 10:12am 
How about the ability to pick your class, instead of having to find them?
poM  [author] 14 Nov, 2013 @ 10:06am 
@G-Dani
Thanks! Edited the descriptions.

@Mah Butt
Interesting idea, but there would be many diffcult things to do to make it multiplayer.
However, I think multiplayer is possible.

@Chaoticracer
Sadly, I spent most of my time on another mutation so new features might not come soon,
but I already thought about class system which you obtain different items from chests.
ChaoSquid (quickliem böi) 14 Nov, 2013 @ 9:43am 
Can you add Multiplayer, and more features soon? :D

Wisp 6 Oct, 2013 @ 2:09pm 
You should make a multiplayer version where you're invisible to eachother until you get 20 kills. Or just make it multiplayer and keep it the same. It'd be fun, though.
