Back 2 Vanilla and conflicting mods
Most of the mods will probably conflict with Back 2 Vanilla.
Make sure B2V is on the bottom of the in-game add-ons list and don't worry about the red text.
Turn it temporarily off to check if other add-ons don't conflict with each other.

Or get B2V from GameMaps, so you don't have to worry about that.

Reloading fonts
1. Move B2V (2255875095.vpk) from "workshop" to "addons" folder
2. Unsubscribe from the add-on
3. Paste this into your autoexec:
mat_setvideomode X Y 1; mat_setvideomode X Y 0
X = desired screen width (e.g. 1920)
Y = desired screen height (e.g. 1080)
Swap 1 and 0 if you're playing in the windowed mode.

Hosting a local server
Developer console
Fix for "Server is enforcing consistency" error
Enabling add-ons on your local server

TLDR: Find addonconfig.cfg, change all values in it from 1 to 0, save, open the game, put sv_consistency 0 in the console, create a local server.

Additional tags: legacy removal remove reverse rollback older old version 2.1.5.5

although it would have been nice if it was possible to modify the last man on earth mutation to spawn common infected on the maps dead air blood harvest and cold stream again
Cody | MusicLockerStudio 24 Jul @ 2:21pm 
ok cool
L0qi  [author] 24 Jul @ 12:18am 
@Cody | MusicLockerStudio Yeah, it's fine to create derivatives/modify/do whatever with this mod.
Cody | MusicLockerStudio 23 Jul @ 4:24pm 
it dont matter anymore i didnt find any problems after testing it again after a while

btw was it ok that i used this addon for a series of 6 other addons i made

@Cody | MusicLockerStudio Information provided is too vague for me to help you out. I need more details:
How sure are you that you were playing on official dedicated server? Did you type 'status' in console and at least got Linux Dedicated along Valve's regular hostname: Valve Left4Dead 2 X Y Server (srcdsZ)?
Did you apply the advice from the description? Installed B2V last, checked whether mods other than B2V don't conflict with each other, restarted the game?
What mods were you using alongside this one? Link to collection would be ideal.
What map exactly were you playing on? Which chapter?
Cody | MusicLockerStudio 23 Jul @ 5:40am 
from what i remember when i joined a server in a l4d1 campaign the tank was invisible and i believe some things had errors
L0qi  [author] 23 Jul @ 2:11am 
@Cody | MusicLockerStudio Could you elaborate?
Cody | MusicLockerStudio 22 Jul @ 10:16pm 
this glitches out like crazy in official servers
Damian 12 Jul @ 9:57am 
Ok. Thank you.

@Damian Bad news: "game_sounds_*.txt" scripts (one of which is responsible for the gun pitch randomness), don't work from inside normal, workshop add-ons.
Good news: GameMaps version of B2V isn't a normal, workshop add-on and is already taking care of that.
