strange. i unsubbed every other mod except for this one to see what would happen but the icons are still the l4d1 1911 icons instead of the p220/glock icons. not a big deal though since the .45 handguns script exists

@xhg420x:
This mod doesn't change the icons, but other script mods can. For whatever reason, Valve decided to put each weapon's icon reference in the script .txt files, so if you have this mod installed then you'll have the vanilla, default L4D2 pistol icons. Some weapon mods come with a script to change the icon to fit whatever weapon model is used.

The easiest way to check this is to launch L4D2 and check your in-game addons list, then see if my mod is conflicting (highlighted in red text) with any other mod.

why does this change my pistol icons to 1911's

Aww, thanks. I use your scripts whenever I'm not using my own personal ones, I feel they strike a good balance and give facelifts to underused weapons.

@Archmage Zhed:
There we go, fixed the issue. Turns out, reducing the Deploy delay to 0.01 was the issue. It's been reverted to 0.3 and I've credited you in the update notes. :)
Nemo 26 Aug, 2022 @ 3:21am 
Yeah, seems to be. When throwing a gascan with any other weapon, it's fine. When throwing with just a pistol, it shoots it with the same mouse click used to throw the can.

I even fired up GFCScape and edited a pistol script myself to see if this was this case and, yep, DeploySpeed being too fast is what seems to do it.

@Archmage Zhed:
Oh dear, I actually hadn't considered that. Is it a guarantee the moment the gascan is thrown? Or does it only happen when frantically spamming left click?

@76561199014715162:
That was the goal, so I'm glad to hear it. :)
Nemo 24 Aug, 2022 @ 7:31pm 
Just a heads up, it seems like the deploy speed is too fast, as I end up shooting gascans and the like when throwing them and having the pistols equipped, resulting in an inferno at one's feet.

Now the Pistols don't suck anymore, thanks!

@DrMarioProjectM:
Yep.

@Lankycide (SCP Book) In case you didnt hear me, this could enable me to shoot zombies like how Nick does in the opening cutscene.

OBOW sounds like OWO (i noticed that it's OBO now so it makes less sense), and i was making a joke about that

@Popcornegg:
I still have no idea what you mean. Are you pointing out a typo I've made somewhere? If so, where is it? It's not on this page.

@Lankycide (SCP Book)
I deeply regret commenting that and i'm going to delete that comment later, but "OWO, what's this?" should clear that up.

@DrMarioProjectM:
This mod worked for the Last Stand before, as far as I know. I just updated it because it was unbalanced.

@Popcornegg:
I'm not sure I understand the question.

@Eery Jan:
Thank you. :)
76561199014715162 13 Feb, 2022 @ 6:15am 
Was this updated to account for the Last Stand?
Eery Jan 20 Dec, 2018 @ 10:44pm 
The fire rate is so much closer to the dual pistols! I love this so much, I feel like I'm playing Halo 2 again for some reason now

@Piggymcool:
Hmm... I suppose a simple X is pretty ambiguous, isn't it? Sorry about that. It just means "unchanged". Like, I didn't change anything on those ones.

EDIT: So I changed all the X's to actually say "UNCHANGED" instead to make things a little clearer.
ParagonFlash 21 Nov, 2018 @ 8:28am 
Nice script just wondering what dose the X mean ?

I see... Well, that's what video games are for. To give us a break from the real world. :)

You know, it's easy to forget sometimes that every commenter, every author, every little profile picture in Steam is a person living their own life and going through their own struggles. It's obvious, but it just hit me now when you told me about your life. Every single one of us is alive, somewhere on Earth. We're all out there, and just happen to stuble across each other in these little places on the Internet.

That's deep. My eyes have been opened. Stay strong brother. Even though we've never met and probably will never meet, I wish you courage and strength, good fortune and happiness. And the same goes to all us random weirdos who love games. :)

Being a father of 1 year old(next 4 day) and also working is kinda hard but due to i own a shop and it the first floor of my house it not a problem and if it a trouble i could ask my mother to help.
For the mother she got an office job, so she usually not home even tho she the one that use the account the most out of 2.
Lankycide  [author] 22 Jul, 2018 @ 11:19pm 
@Aibadenshi:
Yeah, that all makes sense. I've made a list of all my own ideas and your recommendations. :D

And good luck with the overgrown baby. You have my well wishes. :)
Aibadenshi-Sensei 22 Jul, 2018 @ 7:25pm 
Semi-Shotguns i really don't know an alternative(due to game limitations) instead of making it realistic secondary or something like a cannon. I don't really got anything else :(

Rifle stats to SMGs is correct.
For Secondary SMG there are enough Automatic Glock for that so more less it a pistol either way.
For large drum mag. I'll said trade off between fire rate and damage i guess. Due to it a spam-able weapon.
Bolt action you can lower the fire rate of weapon like how you increase the fire rate(maybe). You can use one of the AWP skin for military to test that out.
I kinda agree with the double barrle one. As someone has to work and take care of an infant and overgrown baby(even when she got her own work) i know how that feel in a different way.
Lankycide  [author] 22 Jul, 2018 @ 12:41pm 
@Aibadenshi (Part 2):
Large drum mags for semi-auto shotguns are fully doable, I'd just have to balance them carefully. Large magazines and high fire rate, but lower damage to keep things fair.

Bolt-action for the Military Sniper? Is that even doable? Probably with the right skin mod. I'll do some research and see how it could be done.

Fast-shooting Military Sniper is very doable. I'd make it a scoped 5.56mm rifle.

And lastly, a pump-action version of a double-barrel. I don't know about this one... I really don't like the idea of having multiple versions of the same scripts, because it becomes a maintainence nightmare. If I want to change one thing for one of my mods, I have to edit a few more to the exact same change. I dont know if it'd be worth it just to use the same gun on a different slot.
Lankycide  [author] 22 Jul, 2018 @ 12:41pm 
@Aibadenshi (Part 1):
Well, congratulations. You've interested me. :) Next on my list are Gritty Realism semi-auto shotguns, but I like some of your suggestions.

Duel revolvers I can do, and I'm pretty sure I saw a skin mod that does that.

Rifle stats for SMGs... You mean 30-round magazines and slightly high damage with a tad slower fire rates? I could do that. Like Gritty Realism SMGs.

Secondary SMGs are interesting. I'd probably only do it for the two original SMGs, not the MP5, since the other two seem pistol-ish enough to fit into a secondary role. The downside would be that they'd likely no longer be able to gib zombies, since I'd have to give them the Pistol's ammo type for infinite ammo.
Aibadenshi-Sensei 22 Jul, 2018 @ 5:34am 
If i would ask, this is what in my mind right now.

Dual Revolver stats.
Rifle stats for SMGs
SMGs Secondary
Large Drum Mag (Both Auto-Shotguns)
High Damage Bolt Action (Military Sniper)
High Fire Rate Semi-Auto For (Military Sniper)
Due to you making Double Barrel i want to ask you last least make one for the pump shotgun but make it 1 and when shot it feel like it has fired 2 shot. And Maybe make one as a secondary too.

Reason
After playing with the default stats, i not really like them. Cause the gun in the game feel the same like basically clone of each other and it does. So i want a diverse set of weapon to choose and play with and not clone overshadow another weapon or too power. Probably why i like realism in gaming and other topic too much.
Lankycide  [author] 22 Jul, 2018 @ 1:50am 
@Aibadenshi:
Yeah, it has been a while. Interestingly, I'm currently, right at this very moment working on three separate double-barrel shotgun scripts, so I might just add yours into the to-do pile if it interests me enough.

So... Thusly I challenge you. Tell me what you want. Why does the world need the script you suggest? What are the specifics of what you're after? Interest me. Wow me. >:D
Aibadenshi-Sensei 21 Jul, 2018 @ 9:40pm 
Damm it been awhile since you last upload something
Also any change making the military sniper into AWM?
Can't find a script that feel like it due to most of what i found is too weak/strong too fast firing speed and having large magazine.
