Hey, How do you remove the Local Player Health Number as seen in the screenshots, been trying to for months now
Editor Beetle 23 Mar, 2024 @ 9:25pm 
"[...] there's a white translucent streak right in the middle of the screen that bobs obnoxiously when you move."

I should address this grievance: this streak I mentioned is a sprite standing in for the flashlight's beam cutting through the air. This is caused by the Additional Melee Slot add-on moving the melee weapon to slot 7, it makes the beam default to the center of the player and not follow the flashlight properly. It can be seen because your vision bobs.

There are two fixes: forgo the Additional Melee Slot, or use an add-on that disables the flashlight beam.

We've gone from a resin baton to an aircraft grade aluminum flashlight. I'd say that would be an improvement.

i cant believe this actually does some damage
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 22 Sep, 2021 @ 9:45pm 
No, unfortunately not.

I like your mods although waopon animation is good but file size is small

Tsym, Dude

Wish I remembered

Mod for those common infected plz
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 25 Jul, 2021 @ 8:20am 
No. No, no, no. A small one-handed object for an axe, no. Not even funny in third person.
Victor 25 Jul, 2021 @ 7:27am 
hope you can make axe version
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 23 Jul, 2021 @ 9:25am 
Oof, look at how many mods I have, and almost all of them should get an update.
Editor Beetle 23 Jul, 2021 @ 8:51am 
Not to be a bother, but will this update come soon?
Editor Beetle 17 Jul, 2021 @ 3:02pm 
No way, for real? Thanks, Alex! :D
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 17 Jul, 2021 @ 12:01pm 
Yeah, that's why I remove the smudge effect from my more recent melee mods. I shall update this one as well.
Editor Beetle 17 Jul, 2021 @ 10:10am 
I like this one... as a world prop. It doesn't make me any more inclined to use the nightstick, for the same reason as Tööttieläin's old school flashlight: after you swing it once, there's a white translucent streak right in the middle of the screen that bobs obnoxiously when you move.

能不能把这个改成平底锅? 谢谢...

The animations were designed this way. There is a script mod to flip (all) melee weapons around, but I'm not sure if this can be done to a single one.

Maybe I'll animate a huge-ass FormOptik XL myself one day. Ha ha. One day.

Right hand model please 😭
Clark 11 May, 2020 @ 3:23pm 
Where precisely? Link please!

They've been moved to Gamemaps.
Clark 8 May, 2020 @ 5:54pm 
HUD icon doesn't show
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 14 Aug, 2019 @ 12:21am 
I suppose. Then I'll probably have to make some fitting sounds, perhaps the same Diablo II ones.
Juliet Taylor Briar 13 Aug, 2019 @ 8:19pm 
Can i get this as a crowbar replacer? some maps dont allow the tonfa apparently and I really love the immersive flashlight gameplay
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 4 Aug, 2019 @ 1:56am 
@eatingcookie, sorry, but I'm afraid I'm very unlikely to ever touch the shield or knife.
eatingcookie 3 Aug, 2019 @ 4:05pm 
Could there be a riot shield replacement as the flashlight is in the left hand like the shield?
SarahTheWolf 18 Feb, 2019 @ 2:10am 
Right hand?
Corvet 9 Sep, 2018 @ 1:34am 
oh, i was under the assumption that weapons like that could be added to any map, not just custom exclusively

oops
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 9 Sep, 2018 @ 1:19am 
@Vector, and the key phrase being "custom map". It is possible to add your own melee weapons in your own custom maps. In addition to Helms Deep, Dark Blood and the Resident Evil campaigns are good examples.
Corvet 8 Sep, 2018 @ 6:36pm 
that kinda thing
Corvet 8 Sep, 2018 @ 6:36pm 
like how splinks incorporated unique weapons that don't replace anything in the helms deep reborn map
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 8 Sep, 2018 @ 12:22pm 
@Vector, and what in the name of the Emperor does this HERESY mean?
Corvet 8 Sep, 2018 @ 8:10am 
@Alex_D_Vasilkov
can you have this be an entirely new weapon edition if possible?
Killah Zillah 6 Sep, 2018 @ 1:06pm 
That's a good point. The Hotline Miami DLC's fire axe is the obvious choice for our L4D2 one, people've wanted a proper, modern, rubber gripped fire axe for ages. The Killing Floor 2 Pulverizer animations would look badass on it (love those animations so much).

As for the others... hm... maybe Sangres' Verdugo machete? It's a bit large, but it's the best looking machete out of the bunch. The Hockey Stick or Morning Star might make fine replacements for the Golf Club.

I dunno, just spitballing ideas!
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 6 Sep, 2018 @ 12:33pm 
@Killah Zillah, thinking of PD2 melee replacements, I think I should fill the gaps first. Right now we have two bats, hammer for the frying pan, and a tomahawk for the crowbar. Now that we have a tonfa replacement, there's still a fire axe, guitar, machete, katana, and a golf club to do.
Killah Zillah 6 Sep, 2018 @ 12:01pm 
Just tested it ingame, and I love it! The only constructive criticism I believe I can give is that the downward swing animation seems out of sync with the hit timing. Damage would occur after the maglite has already passed by. Other than that one detail (which you may not be able to fix and I'm honestly satisfied with it how it is), all the other animations are on point!


I hate to seem like the mouse that asked for a glass of milk with their cookie, but if you're still open to suggestions..

The frying pan has lots of mods, but very very few that replace it with something actually found in a kitchen, which often looks really weird.

Would you mind replacing the frying pan with the Psycho Knife from Payday 2? The frying pan gives me a headache, but there's so few *fitting* replacements for it.
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 6 Sep, 2018 @ 12:38am 
@not prepared, I sped them up to match the default Tonfa attack speed. The Nightstick is the fastest melee weapon in the game, but with pathetic range, making the hit detection issues the most notable with this weapon.
Killah Zillah 5 Sep, 2018 @ 11:09pm 
WOOO! Thanks, Alex! It even has cool animations, I'm so excited to use this!
Vergil 5 Sep, 2018 @ 4:51pm 
dont you think the Animations is too fast?
D ubge 4 Sep, 2018 @ 1:17pm 
nice
Alex_D #NoWar  [author] 4 Sep, 2018 @ 1:16pm 
Well, it's blood-resistant. Because I forgot to add the BloodyHands vmt thingy on it.
D ubge 4 Sep, 2018 @ 1:11pm 
Does it have an overlapping light with the default flashlight? How many infected can I hit before I have to solder the wire connecting the LED to the battery compartment?
