Swarm Mode

Description
Swarm Mode
Swarm is a new way to enjoy L4D with more variety and challenge! You can team up with your friends or compete against them in Coop, Versus, Survival, or Survival Versus. You can also test your skills in the "Hardcore" campaign mode, where you only get 3 chances to complete the campaign. Swarm adds new elements to the game, such as "new" special infected abilities, corruption cards that affect the environment and enemies, and player cards that give you perks and bonuses.

Chat Commands
Note that you can bind these commands in the console!
eg. bind x "say !ping"

!ping - Pings enemies and world
!cards - Displays card HUD
!shuffle - Shuffles current cards players can pick
!pick - Pick a player card [1-8]
!botpick - Pick a player card for all bots or a specific bot [name] [1-8]
!drop - Drop current in hand item
!lives - Shows all current players number of lives
Host Commands
!hardcore - Switches to Hardcore mode
!autohidehud - Toggles HUD behavior from hiding when survivors leave start (default) or waiting until all survivors have cards
!togglehud - Forces HUD off
Localization Commands
!english
!spanish
!russian

There are many bugs with localizations other than English. Some of these are due to the game and cannot be fixed to my knowledge.

Easy & Normal Difficulty
3 Incaps
0 Random Bosses
Normal Hordes

Advanced & Expert Difficulty
2 Incaps
1 Random Boss
Larger Hordes

Added command !togglehud for the host of the server. Will force the HUD off if it's bugged.

Okay, this is understandable, I wait for the next update. Thanks the mod btw.

I don't plan on adding onto the mod or making any major changes currently. If I were to make any changes it would likely be adding more cards in the future, or trying to fix the jank localization.

Regarding the HUD are you sure the entire team is using all of their card picks? I cannot replicate the issue myself, but I can look into adding a new chat command to force the HUD to hide.

Well this mod defintely better than the B4B. Maybe you add the classic speciel infecteds for the variaty?
Btw lot of times, the hud frezze on the screen. What did we do wrong?

The HUD should disappear automatically after the survivors leave the saferoom, *or* they all pick their cards. You can use the !autohidehud command to switch the functionality.

A common complaint in Back 4 Blood was that the infected variants didn't have enough visually distinguishing features, or that they were too subtle. Since this mod is intended as a parody of B4B we attempted to emulate the same issue, for better or worse. :)

Btw I love this mod, sometimes a little bit chaotic, but good. Can you make the different variants speciels a different color code? Bc we cannot recognise them perfectly.

Sometimes the card hud stay on the screen, can you make a command to for disapperance, pls?

Can now select which bot you give cards to with !botpick [name] [1-8]
failzz  [author] 3 Oct, 2024 @ 1:57pm 
I will attempt to update it this weekend with an option for that.
