It would be nice if you needed a medkit to revive yourself.
@Sr.Caveira Probably some hidden glitch, conflict with other mods, only God knows. Anyway, thank you so much for the support!

@East Laos Confederation - Victor I'm glad it worked. I really can't tell you why it doesn't work in your game... It works perfectly in mine, it's a mystery.
@Sr.Caveira, Hi. So I have changed the file self_revive_time.txt directly and it appeared to work. When I was incapacitated, I saw a message when I pressed the Ctrl button indicating how many seconds I have to wait to self revive.
The remaning question is why it does not work via CHAT COMMANDS.

@Arda I already have a similar mod: Death Check Toggle. It doesn't work for some people, but here it is working.

@Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark' Can you please make this useful in solo? (No other people, only 1 survivor in the game) I want my campain to not end when I get incapped. Disabling the auto game over when solo incapped might work and you can add a like 30-60 second time limit to kill the player if incapped too long if you want to too, for some balance.

@from my perspective Thank you anyway. I'll keep trying to figure out why this happens for some users.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 12 Aug @ 7:16pm 
@from my perspective I didn't write anything to manage it to work. Just opened a local server and it's working. No matter what I do, it never bugs, I've tried a lot of things, so it really is a MYSTERY.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 12 Aug @ 7:14pm 
@from my perspective Hmm... I see. This is very strange. I didn't make any dependencies on the Admin System, but if it works for you, that's fine. I tried a lot of things, even uninstalled L4D2 and so on, but my mod always worked.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 12 Aug @ 7:12pm 
@from my perspective I see. That's good. XD
because without its ADMIN SYSTEM folder every time I subscribed to the mod, if it loaded the sr_self_revive folder but inside, it was empty and restarted every time until I uninstalled and reinstalled left4dead2 and the same thing continued to happen, and will you tell me if you wrote the command in the chat? Well yes I did and nothing came out and I also tried it without any other mod. Well bro, I'll explain this, maybe it will help someone and they can enjoy this incredible work, which I always use in all my games.
but in my case I had to subscribe to the ADMIN SYSTEM mod so that its own Admin System folder would be created in the EMS folder, as well as SR_SELF_REVIVE, then it was no longer necessary to subscribe to the ADMIN SYSTEM because it already had its folder and then just when starting a game in solo mode or on a local server it would already load its text documents inside the SR_SELF_REVIVE folder and when I wrote the command in the chat the letters that indicate that the mod is working perfectly appeared,
@Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Oscuro':
Just to clarify, your mod works perfectly for me just as the description says :)
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 11 Aug @ 8:17am 
@East Laos Confederation - Victor I made a small update, see if it works now. Well, as I said before, it works perfectly for me. Some people experience errors, but I don't know why. I fixed some bugs I had.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 11 Aug @ 7:22am 
@East Laos Confederation - Victor I see. Does it work if you change it directly in the file? Have you tried it? It's strange because it works for me without any errors in the commands.
@Sr.Caveira, When I tried the mod, I did see the bots revive themselves without any help. I also did see the message "Hold the Ctrl button..." when I was down, so that means it did work. I just want to change the time, but so far I could not.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 11 Aug @ 6:15am 
@East Laos Confederation - Victor That`s weird. Does the mod even works for you?
@Sr.Caveira, no I did not see that message. What should I do? Unsub and sub and try again?
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 11 Aug @ 6:01am 
@East Laos Confederation - Victor When you type the command, do you see any message in the chat? Like "time has been changed to x" or something like that? If not, you must have some problem with the game or something.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 11 Aug @ 6:00am 
@Shaggy Done. I did exactly as you said and my mod continued working perfectly. I tried to make it bug on purpose in other ways too but without success, continued to work. I really don't understand why some people are facing problems.
Hello @Sr.Caveira, I did exactly what you said, but when I check the file in the "\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\sr_self_revive\self_revive_time.txt", it still shows "6". How???
@Sr.Caveira | Cráneo</> Oscuro':
Remember bro, do the same test, only this time don't subscribe to the mod admin system and delete its folder too.🤓
@Sr.Caveira | Cráneo</> Oscuro':
If I believe you should have tried it bro, but do this last thing I tell you and if it continues working normally for you, then I give up😅 but don't worry, the most important thing is that I already managed to get the mod working and I will be able to have fun in all my games :)
@Sr.Caveira | Cráneo</> Oscuro':
In the EMS folder is the sr_self_revive folder, and there's also the Admin System folder if you've ever subscribed to this mod. Don't subscribe to the Admin System mod, and if you already have, delete the Admin System folder and then give it a try.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 9 Aug @ 12:42pm 
@East Laos Confederation - Victor Hello man, I mean the chat. Where you write to your friends or players. Type: !self_revive_time 5
Hey man I am kinda new to the command stuff. When you say "Chat commands", do you mean the chat or the console? I am trying to change the Self Revive Time to 5 sec. Please help.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 8 Aug @ 9:31pm 
@shaggy It might sound like I'm lying, but I swear it's true. I removed it and it still worked, so I really don't know why it works for some and not for others.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 8 Aug @ 9:30pm 
@shaggy I tested it. I removed the ADMIN SYSTEM, restarted the game and then I joined a local server and my Self Revive were working properly. I don't know what happened to make it work out for you.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 8 Aug @ 7:55pm 
@shaggy Hi bro, thank you for the report. This is VERY strange, I'll test it and try to figure out why this is happening. Thank you very much! When I can check this out, I'll get back to you in the comments.
bro forget what i said before; i just discovered that the revive when incapacitated mod only works when i have the ADMIN SYSTEM mod installed if i remove it it stops working and yes i tried your mod alone without any other addons and then with the ADMIN SYSTEM and i was thinking it was my left 4 dead 2 that's why i reinstalled it
@Sr.Caveira HELLO AGAIN, I INSTALLED LEFT 4 DEAD 2 AND THEN I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR MOD AND THIS TIME I LOADED THE MOD SR_SELF_REVIVE AND INSIDE THE TEXT DOCUMENT SELF_REVIVE_METHOD AND SELF_REVIVE_TIME AND ANOTHER THING. THANKS FOR THE HELP IN THE COMMENTS. I ALREADY TAKEN A SCREENSHOT JUST IN CASE :)
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 5 Aug @ 7:38pm 
@LARRY If it doesn't work, I don't know how to help you right now, because it still works for me. Have you tried disabling all mods and seeing if it works? It could be a conflict, even if the game doesn't say there's a conflict.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 5 Aug @ 7:36pm 
@LARRY Hello bro, please, try this:

Create these files:

1. self_revive_method.txt
2. self_revive_time.txt

It should look like this:

\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\sr_self_revive\self_revive_method.txt
\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\sr_self_revive\self_revive_time.txt

Open the 1. file and write inside "manual" (without the quotes)

Open the 2. file and write "5" (without the quotes)

Create a local server and try out.

This will setup the mod settings and maybe works.

And thanks for the feedback, in the future I will make improvements to the mod when possible, I'm currently sick and can't. It's probably a bug I have to fix, but the manual fix should work.
I've commented before, and it actually worked for me and I loved it, but I'm someone who spends a couple of hours on the internet, and all the other mods load in the ems folder, but yours is the only one that loads empty. Any tips on how to fix this? I actually enjoyed using your mod when it worked for me in expert realistic mode. 😔
Hello, I'm from Peru and I hope the translator understands. To make sure the mod works, I subscribed to it and its add-on. Then I started my game in solo mode and then in public game on LOCAL SERVER and I wrote the commands in the chat and it didn't work for me, but the strange thing is this, when I went to the ems folder the mod folder is there but empty, I deleted it and resubscribed to the mod and again it loads the empty folder.

didnt work forme either, holding ctrl doesn't do anything but the bots can self revive
Rohan1211 10 Jul @ 11:38am 
BOOOO I HATE LOCAL SERVER'S!
Rettfer 6 Jul @ 9:07pm 
It didn't work for me. I read the old comments and tried self revive auto first, then manual and set time (in both chat and console) and still didn't work. I checked the config and saw no txt file created. I created txt files manually as the comments instructed and still didn't work even restarted the game. so I tried to set the manually created txt files to read only and still didn't work
Howlzt 24 Jun @ 11:06pm 
how do you turn off the self sevive hint?
Goosifer412 16 Jun @ 4:42pm 
now its just not working at all
Goosifer412 15 Jun @ 12:48pm 
seems to cause the game over to not happen, meaning I must manually restart the chapter
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 14 Jun @ 9:42am 
@inXsify Hmm, I see... Thank you for reporting! As soon as possible I'll check and test to fix, if it really is a bug. BTW, if you can, when the possible bug occurs, open the l4d2 console and see if there is any error related to Self Revive and send it here. (if you can, if not, that's fine)
inXsify 14 Jun @ 9:22am 
Not sure what it would be. I play with a variety of other mods on but i never had trouble with it in the past. Like I said I havent played in a few months. But recently, I tried to play as I had been, and its different. I easily had a couple hundred hours of gameplay with auto revive and I know for certain this bug didn't exist last year.
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 14 Jun @ 9:07am 
@inXsify Hello! This is strange, I've tried to bug the mod on purpose and it never bugs. Even when playing normally. I can't understand why this happens to some people. Is there something specific you do and so this bugs?
inXsify 14 Jun @ 8:38am 
This mod used to work very well for me, but recently the auto revive has become very inconsistent. I'm having an issue where it will randomly stop working. Not just for one player, but the whole team. I haven't played much since February, but back then this mod worked great for me.

@ĐuckĐẹpJaiPóĐòyQá
@JACK SPARROW

OK, thank you two. :) In the future I will create a command/configuration for anyone who wants to disable the message. At the moment I can't, I'm sick (bad health).
Hi, I love your mod, especially when I'm playing on expert, but regarding the letters, as many of us have become familiar with, for a more realistic experience, could you create a file to enable and disable the letters? that would be really cool :)
ĐuckĐẹpJaiPóĐòyQá 22 May @ 7:14pm 
Ofc but can u make it small text and less spamming in player face ? Like each 3 second to announce text once
Sr.Caveira | 頭蓋骨 </> Dark'  [author] 22 May @ 6:27pm 
@Sick Duck You can't. I put this text so that people can see it and know how to use it and escape.
