(OUTDATED) Modified The Parish (2023-06-14)

new version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3096913683

Modified The Parish by removing its invisible walls, adding obstacles and adding various new events to enhance the Co-op server experience.

Full version of Modified The Parish for c5m1, c5m2, c5m3 and c5m4.
* Previously released add-ons will be archived and hidden on Workshop. You can still access these add-ons, which are set to non-public, via the relevant links.

——— Features

As part of The Parish, not as a normal three-party map (which means you won't find it in the map list).
Other players can play the modified map without downloading it or making the relevant changes, even if they know nothing about it.
The relevant matchmaking mechanics in the Left 4 Dead 2 lobby will also treat the modified map as an official campaign.

* Applies to Coop dedicated servers as well as local servers. Does not work on other people's servers unless the relevant server has been configured with the relevant profile.

-- Installation / Requirements
* Only works on local or dedicated servers where the add-on is installed with the relevant modifications.

1. Sourcemod, Metamod and Stripper

* Sourcemod, Metamod: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Installing_SourceMod
** Extract the files to the /left 4 dead 2/left4dead2/

* Stripper: https://github.com/Derpduck/L4D2-Comp-Stripper-Rework/wiki/Stripper:Source-Guide-%28Basics%29

* Sourcemod, Metamod and Stripper may conflict with Admin System (incompatible).
* Enabling Sourcemod, Metamod and Stripper requires the -insecure parameter to be included in the startup options. Enabling this parameter on the local host will prevent you from joining other VAC-enabled servers. You can always remove this parameter and restart the game to join those VAC-enabled servers.

2. Download the relevant Stripper configuration file (zip) from Google Drive @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LdxNgmLmmX5QT3kRGyWT1SyaV8x3UKYa/view and extract the two folders inside the zip to /Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ .
* The .vpk files inside the zip are for use on a dedicated server. If you are using a local server, please subscribe to the add-on on Workshop.

——— FAQ

* Q) Why is the route structure climbing to the roof instead of removing objects to build a completely new route structure?
* A) Because prop_static CANNOT be modified or removed with Stripper. If the map is modified using the map editor instead of the server plugin, compatibility with the default campaign cannot be achieved. In this case, other players will need to download the modified map to join the server.

* Q) It's too hard to this map.
* A) Install Gear Transfer[1] and Tougher Survivor Bots[2,3]. The map itself is not optimized for bot players, as such optimization would result in a relatively low difficulty map for (four) human players.
** Place the .smx file in /addons/sourcemod/plugins.

1. Gear Transfer: Allows items (molotov,pipebomb,vomitjar,defibrillator,first aid,explosive & incendiary rounds) to be transferred. bots can auto give/grab items. --- https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1294082
