settings.cfg stuff
Where is the ems settings cfg?:
Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\custom_survivor_takeover\settings.cfg

profile_cfgs = ["yusuke.cfg", "sara.cfg", "haruka.cfg", "blake.cfg"],

shuffle = false
  • Randomly change the order of the profile_cfgs before takeover

auto_start_takeover = true
  • Change to custom models on every start of the map or not.

retry_auto_takeover_on_update = true
  • Keep retrying to takeover, because some custom maps just won't run OnFirstStart() for some reason
  • you can turn it off if you feel a bit of lag every second

bots_only = true
  • Whether can takeover players (false) or not (true).

Example settings:
{
profile_cfgs = ["whitaker.cfg", "smitty.cfg", "tala.cfg", "trevor_philips.cfg"]
shuffle = true
auto_start_takeover = true
retry_auto_takeover_on_update = true
bots_only = false
debug = false
}

To get the other custom survivors, need to add on these:

Oh yeah since this can only run 18 max lets say i need to remove one like Smitty which of the Char_nums numbers do I remove [-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, 8, -10]

(Old information, ignore this)

I think smitty is the 8th item in the arrays, so toggle the 8th one to false:

toggles = [true, true, true, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, true]

is this (-8) or this (8) cause there is two of them

Should be -8 because 8 is Mike

Not a problem removed some mods as workshop mods have a limit and vlalve has yetto update the gameto handle more I wish they do that.

Oh and the extra the survivors are great. funny it seems no speical infected show up and i wonder if that is because of the extra ones. the hordes are still big.

I recently put this on the description of VSSM:
(Warning: Special Infected and survivor players/bots share 18 slots. Add too many survivors and you can block special infected from spawning. This is hard-coded and unchangeable, requires a plugin[github.com] to increase the slots to 32 max.)

You have update instructions to install or a youtube version of how to do it? I tried to figure it out but I am a little stumb on what to install and where to put it.


once I figure it out do i just add to char_nums = [-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, 8, -10] -11 and so on? as of course there the 8 with the -8 version of that eight

L4DToolz requires installing Metamod Source[www.sourcemm.net] alongside it.
Here's a discussion I made for VSSM recently. (link)
