(Host Only) [VScript] Custom Viewmodel Arms - for Custom Survivors

In 1 collection by ChapCanai
Custom Survivor Takeover Collection

Description
All credits go to the original sources:

I just renamed the files so that they can be used for custom survivors.

Mainly for Custom Survivor Takeover, and if you want to play as a custom survivor.
Without this, you will have invisible viewmodel arms. (smoker_claw or some shi, idk)

Arms Names:
  • "yusuke"
  • "sara"
  • "haruka"
  • "blake"
  • "mike"
  • "mary"
  • "pete"
  • "pilot"
  • "john"
  • "amanda"
  • "jeff"
  • "whitaker"
  • "gibbs"
  • "virgil"
  • "css"

Due to 32 materials limit in 1 mdl, this is the most I could squeeze in.

Other custom survivors who are not included would just have CSS arms as default

The vscript only matches the arms to the host's model, because I don't know a better way to do this.
Feel free to suggest if you know

There is also a settings.cfg file at \Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\custom_viewmodel_arms\
in case you want to reuse some arms for other custom survivors.
The settings "check_models" and "arms_names" are arrays parallel to each other.

This replaces all the weapon scripts, so may conflict with some weapon mods.
Guest players may see some visual glitches if they have other weapon scripts.

Probably need to restart the game to avoid ERROR.mdl

This hijacks the convar "mp_weapon_xm1014_price" to set the arms id

Credits:
  • Shadowysn, kouga, ChimiChamo - idea and guidance
  • Ellie - Model RNG vmt
  • and where the arms are from, of course
  • devlos & chatgpt - ParseSettings code
