Item Drop Bonus

Useful "Side-Dish" Mods (Especially for Bots)

Description
As described on the title, it's just a simple mod that awards survivors with certain item drops when killing either special infected, witch or tank. Using this mod, you get certain chance from 10% to 100% of item drop depending of which zombies you kill.

Item Drop Chance:
  1. Special Infected (any type): 10% (additional 10% on headshot).
    a. Smoker: Hunting Rifle, Military Sniper, or Pills (only one of them).
    b. Boomer: Bile Bomb, or Pills (only one of them).
    c. Hunter: Rifle, Ak47, or Pills (only one of them).
    d. Spitter: Molotov, or Pills (only one of them).
    e. Jockey: Autoshotgun, Spas, or Pills (only one of them).
    f. Charger: Autoshotgun, Spas, Rifle, Ak47, Pipe Bomb, or Pills (only one of them).

  2. Tank: 100%.
    M60, Grenade Launcher, one random throwable, & random defib/ first aid (1 item each).
    NEW "Gnome Arms Dealer": Ammo piles with gnome skin. When pressing E, the gnome will give laser upgrade, fire ammo, ammo refill & "Black & White" status removal.

  3. Witch: 100%.
    Random Melee, & random defib/ first aid (1 item each. 2 items each on headshot if lucky).
    NEW "Gnome Arms Dealer": Ammo piles with gnome skin. When pressing E, the gnome will give laser upgrade, fire ammo, ammo refill & "Black & White" status removal.

With this mod, hopefully you can survive longer in survival mode, & some custom campaigns that lack supplies.

Bonus Features (can be turned on/off via cfg file):
  1. T3 Weapons Can Pick Ammo
    This feature allows chainsaw, m60 & grenade launcher to pick ammo. Reserve ammo for m60 is equal to smg (650). For chainsaw, just press E on a gascan & pick it, & chainsaw fuel will be refilled.

  2. M60 Drop Prevention System
    M60 no longer drops. There's a prevention system that immediately switches weapon to secondary when m60 is running of ammo clip.

  3. Cruel Bots Mode
    When enabled, bots shoot more aggressively than usual. Press TAB (Score button) + E (Use button) for toggle on/ off during play. This can also be configured via cfg file in "ems" folder.

  4. Tank Item Drop Chance
    This one is to enable tank's item drop chance, in case if you want to lower the drop chance below 100%.

  5. Enable Glow: It's enabled by default. Zombies that drop items will leave a glow to mark where the items are. Disabling this will remove the glow.

  6. Allow Gnome To Spawn: This controls whether the "Gnome Arms Dealer" will spawn or not when tank or witch is killed.

Enjoy your game.

Notes:
  • "Item Drop Bonus" has a toggle in the cfg file that allows you to turn off item drop feature, in case if you only want to use the bonus features about T3 weapons.

  • If you already use some aggressive bot mods, it's recommended to turn off "Cruel Bots Mode", as it probably won't affect much if bots are already aggresive on zombies.

  • If you want to disable "Cruel Bots" notification. set "CruelBotsMode" to -1.

@kurochama ok I found it, if you put all the components in one place then it would be a lot less confusing for those who don't know where to find it
Anyway, this is a great mod, thanks

@huudatno1 , start a map by using this mod on Singleplayer, then check your game folder in ".../Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/". You'll find "item drop bonus" folder there. The cfg file is inside that folder.

@kurochama sooo.... where do I find this cfg file? All I get from the mod are addoninfo.txt and a scripts folder which contains 2 .nut files inside
kurochama  [author] 24 May @ 10:28am 
@huudatno1 , check the Change Notes on 26 Nov, 2023 @ 1:05am . I put a feature on the cfg file about this, so there's no need to change it via modifying ".nut" file.

@kurochama is there anyway to increase the timer from 10 to 15 ~ 20 seconds? Sometimes the item is dropped far away so 10 seconds is not enough to get it. I tried setting the "ItemDropDuration" in the .nut file from 1 to 2 but nothing changed.
(I'm not interested in stealing your mod, this is just for my personal use)

@kurochama you are the best thankssss
kurochama  [author] 1 Feb @ 11:10pm 
@PROYECTO&ALICE. , I added a new feature, "Allow Gnome To Spawn". You can try it.
[Proyecto&Alice] 1 Feb @ 4:40pm 
Really? Great, I'll be looking forward to the modification so I can play.

@PROYECTO&ALICE. , isn't gnome usually what people need? It can give ammo & upgrades after killing a boss (tank or witch), so it's like a reward for hard work. Well, I can add a feature to enable/ disable gnome appearance later.

@kurochama yes gnome
