Weapon Speed Boost (Vscript)

Description
Finally made this one. This mod is a twin brother of Weapon Damage Boost. While his twin brother can boost damage of each gun, this one can boost the fire rate & reload speed.

"Q: Does this one use weapon scripts like 'weapon_rifle.txt' to boost the fire rate & reload speed?"
"A: No. This use vscripts, & netprops more exactly. That's why the settings can be changed even during play. The prototype of this is available as one of features in 'Merciless Bots' mod."

To put it simply, with the cfg file of this mod, you can freely set the fire rate & reload speed of each gun. Even you can make awp & scout shoot as fast as military sniper, or even smgs.

Here are the features available in the "weapon speed boost main cfg.txt" file:
  1. Weapon Fire Rate Boost Mode: This controls which type of survivor can get the benefit of fire rate boost (bots only/ players only/ all)

  2. Weapon Reload Speed Boost Mode: This controls which type of survivors can get the reload speed boost

  3. weaponname_fire_rate: Each feature with each weapon name controls each weapon fire rate. The value is a multiplier, in which if you set the value to 3, the fire rate will be 3x of the default one.

  4. weaponname_reload_speed: Each feature with each weapon name controls each weapon reload speed. The value is a multiplier. For shotguns that have different reload mechanisms so they need auto script instead, it's a special case that has the capped reload speed to only 2, & the reload speed of shotguns is only actve when players hold "RELOAD" button

Bonus Feature: Chat Commands
  • check fire rate: Check the fire rate of current gun in hands.
  • check reload speed: Check the fire rate of current gun in hands.

So, feel free to change fire rate & reload speed as you like.

NOTES:
  • A video preview will be added later.
  • As the value on the features of each gun is a multiplier, even 0.1 or 0.2 increase of the value might have significant change. So, adjust the decimal numbers instead if you want to slightly increase the fire rate or reload speed.
  • Desert rifle has different effects on fire rate boost. As it has burst fire, instead of increasing the fire rate, it will consume more bullets on each burst fire (if normally it consumes 3 bullets per burst fire, if the value is set to 1.4, it becomes 5 bullets per burst fire)

PINNED: Bug Reports for Weapon Speed Boost

@Jakiy , for shotguns, the ammo clip can be more than usual because shotguns insert the ammo shell one by one & on faster reload speed, the shell insertion is also faster but the system still sees it as the normal reload speed. So that's why it won't stop when reaching 10/xx but there's extra ammo clip added. You can ignore it as it's just a minor bug that doesn't affect the total ammo.

Thanks. For the reload, 1.25 speed seems to be the best balanced. It's still a bit faster but not too fake looking. For the fire rate, for some reason the autoshotty showing 11/XX bullets as fully reload instead of 10/XX as on vanilla. What do?

@kurochama used to play cso with my friend back then just having Balrog-XI shotgun can pretty much help you in zombie scenario 😊 but now it no longer useful due to cso keep on releasing op weapon. Yea I see that you have the ak47 paladin gonna use it when I get to. Thanks for making all this good mods 😊

@Sieg Rem , yes, that's one of my favourite guns on CSO, & I used it very often on "Zombie Scenario", back then before some super & more powerful weapons came out. There's also "Ak47 Paladin" that you can find on my workshop.

@red_rider , you can go to "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems" & find "weapon speed boost" folder that contains the cfg file. Once you open the cfg file, scroll to the info, & you'll find some explanations about each feature along with how they work. & if the "weapon speed boost" folder doesn't show up, you can start a map on Singleplayer, & when all survivors spawn, the "weapon damage boost" folder is created along with the cfg file.

@shaverdanh , start Singleplayer in any campaign with this mod enabled. Once your character spawns, the cfg file will be generated in "ems" folder. Just change the value of each feature on the cfg file, save the cfg & then reload your gun to apply the changes.
