{OBSOLETE} Server-side Bill's Cigarette Smoke script

As of 9/27/2020, an update has re-introduced Bill's cigarette smoke functionality into the game. (https://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=75935)
There is no longer a need for this.

NOTICE: dayum I have to keep copy-pasting this. This addon uses scripts. This will not work in Dedicated servers. Use local/listen servers, or singleplayer instead.

Yay another cigarette smoke fix... except it's a server-side version, for the people who host their own servers. (local servers, dedicated, etc.)

- Despite the conflict in the addons menu between another one of my script mods, there are no side-effects in-game as the only file that conflicts is literally the same between all my script mods.
- Most custom survivor model replacements should work with this mod, however there could be a few that may not.
- Minor bug: The smoke will wave in the first-person view of whoever's playing Bill, using the position of the third-person cigarette's attachment. However, if the user playing Bill isn't rather focused on the orange glow, it shouldn't affect much.

This is a simple script that restores Bill's cigarette smoke, not by model, but by server-side script instead. This allows the cigarette to get put out upon Bill dying.
This won't work if you're not the owner of the server, but everyone else will see the smoke if you are.
The addon has functionality on all gamemodes and maps, but for Versus it is automatically disabled by Valve.

To make it work in Versus on your local server, right-click on Left 4 Dead 2 in your steam library, select Properties, click on the Local Files tab, then click on the Browse Local Files... button.
Go to left4dead2/cfg/ and open addonconfig.cfg with a text editor or Notepad.
By now, it should be obvious what you need to do.

There's no fun little tips or anything for this. :|
