Scope on All Guns

Description
It's a very simple mod about a hidden feature on L4D2. I'm sure that almost all people ever wondered about something like "Why can't I have manual aim for weapons other than snipers here, like how other fps games can do?". This feature is actually available on the netprops, but probably for certain reasons, this wasn't implemented on guns other than snipers.

So, with this mod, you can manually aim your guns like how some other fps games do.

There are some custom mechanisms that are slightly different from those on snipers & sg552:
- 3 Zoom Modes: You can zoom 3 times (sg552 zoom, sniper zoom, & slightly farther than sniper zoom). This can be modified via cfg file in case if you want to make it less than 3 zoom modes or even just zoom once.
- Aim Resistance: Aim won't be cancelled when getting hit by zombie or taking damage during aiming.
- All Guns Can Aim: All guns except snipers & sg552 can aim. Even pistols can aim.
- Increased Accurasy When Aiming: This is actually default L4D2 when aiming. The accuracy gets closer to when using lasersight.
- Alternative Mechanisms for Aiming: There are two ways to aim:
1. Press AIM/ SCOPE button like how you use sniper scope.There's 1 second of cooldown on each zoom mode.
2. Hold TAB & then shoot. This is an alternative if the first method is bugged by unknown causes on certain custom campaigns. This has a slightly different zoom mechanism. 1st shot is sg552 zoom, then as player keeps shooting while holding TAB, the zoom gets slightly farther & farther. & shotguns only have 1x zoom on this alternative. Release TAB if you don't want to zoom in farther again.

Available Features in "scope on all guns.cfg.txt" file:
  1. Scope Zoom Mode: Mainly there are 5 zoom modes, with additional 4 modes with bonus features of "Temporary Laser Sight When Aiming". See the info in the cfg files for the details.
  2. Scope Zoom Cooldown: This feature allows players to set the scope cooldown on each use. The default is 1 second. The value can be in decimals, with 0.2 for the minimum value & no limit for the max value.

With this mod, you can start to experience what it feels like to aim a gun other than snipers & sg552. Have fun in doing more headshots with this manual aim feature.

Special Thanks:
- Doc903 = For the idea of value no. 5 of "Scope Zoom Mode".

@ TinyDix , that may require modifying the scripts related to "m_iFOV" netprops. I'm not familiar with some aim down sight plugin, so all I can say is, if you can connect the scripts for temporary laser sight with scripts from aim down sight, you can trigger temporary laser sight when in aim-down-sight state.

@ Kouga , actually I got the similar question lately on my "Merciless Bots" on gamemaps, & the reason why I didn't apply scope on items other than guns was because they're useless. For example, aiming with melee doesn't give any change other than zooming view, because melee accuracy is fixed. Grenades are also the same, as they also have fixed accuracy. If you're curious about where to change, you can try to search "weapon_melee" or "melee" on the vscript file, because I think melee is also one of items I excluded on this mod.

@kurochama, actually....how do i tweak this so it applies to other weapons and items, not just guns? would be sick

Is there a way to modify this mod to only include the temporary laser sight when aiming? I want to use this mod with the Aim Down Sight mod. Thanks!

perfect thank you!

@AL: the useless man , the cfg file is located in ".../Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/". Find a folder of this mod, & the cfg file is inside. For the question no.1, yes, if you host a local server.

1. if I edit it will the changes work for other players in co-op?
2. the cfg file, is it in the cfg folder or in the addons folder, or somewhere else?

@AL: the useless man , you can set it manually via the cfg file. All settings on the cfg file are applied on each chapter/ round, so if you set the scope to only zoom once on the cfg, then it will be applied that way anytime you play.
AL: the useless man 6 Jun @ 9:34pm 
can you make the default, scope in once. Instead of 5 times?
