It's a pity, but I value providing a wider range of performance to those who use my stuff more than to those who don't. My goal is to provide broad guarantees on rng features, so I will not be isolating rng to reduce its operating environment.
Pyromaniax 7 Jul @ 1:42pm 
I second the suggestion of making rng skins as separate, having a requirement for all your addons with that as mandatory even for non rng skin users is very upsetting

Question, does it work with the Rayman1103's "United We Stand" Mutation when subscribing all the local server support tools such as the hard-mode modules?
SP-Calamitas 29 May @ 6:11am

Ruless 28 May @ 7:40pm

dj_panderz 28 May @ 4:50pm

dj_panderz 28 May @ 4:49pm 
your infected cant be modded with admin system its a bug with admin system no infection mods only scrips for infected @Ruless
Ruless 27 May @ 2:28am

Marine 25 May @ 10:40am

NER88Gaming 23 May @ 2:12pm 
Does anyone know how to get rid of the "The Common Library is required to run the function."? and then it gives me this link to this but i don't use any mods that uses this at least i don't think.
TheTuncT 16 May @ 7:42am 


I've added this addon to the Tacticam Addon Collection. Check it out here: Tacticam


16 May @ 1:16am 
when can i disable player join and exit notification? this and admin system is overlapping
THE PUNISHER 15 May @ 10:23am 
@poppe idk if i right but i think this is cause ..

if you have this addons name "More Zombies and Extra Ammo" https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424527158

or addons that increased common infected

i think this addon cause you to see that bug. (not his Manacat addon) try to disable and restart the game.
poppe 14 May @ 11:37am 
When i enable this MOD it fucks up my realism mode, i can see team-mates through walls etc. Any suggestions?
Ice 13 May @ 4:55pm 
Minor bug to report for others to learn from or to know about or manacat if he doesnt already know. Having any script such as root>scripts>weapon_grenade_launcher.txt. Using any mod that adds stuff like this will not work if you have manacats library loaded first. No easy workaround at the moment.
NewTattoo505 11 May @ 3:21am 
@dj_panderz is it worth it now ? Are we just install it as usual or install this + follow @Ice instructions to make this mod working perfectly ?

Thanks
dj_panderz 10 May @ 8:18am 
this prob the first few lines of code that activates the mod / hook it to the game for local host so he just made one file that all the mods link to so he dont have to keep writing the same code over and over
dj_panderz 10 May @ 8:17am 
this is the file that makes all his mods work
@bizzle its what he said in the discript
bizzle 6 May @ 11:06am 
why does this message keep popping up? I don't know what mod im using that requires this
NewTattoo505 6 May @ 5:38am 
@Ice good info then, I will try it later

@MANACAT
I tried to reinstall the game and it worked again, thanks for the reply. (improved, Hard-Mode are invalid)
Ice 5 May @ 11:58pm 
mods that i confirmed working with my loads of libraries loading manacats at the top are
(give n take)
(legacy weapon manager)
(delay healing)
i have not tested any others but for people who are completely lost and want to try and fix it for themselves here is a mini "guide"
Ice 5 May @ 11:50pm 
An alternative way i wont be explaining is using gcfscape to put this addon directly into your custom folder so it always loads near the top of your addon list. This would probably fix mistakenly leaving the library enabled before quitting lfd2 and having it load up near the bottom breaking other mods again.

Thank you manacat for the wonderful mods ive been using your "give n take" for years now and love the stuff you come up with. Its been a great mod without having to install sourcemod just to be able to give someone else items
Ice 5 May @ 11:49pm 
For those of you having issues with other mods having libraries locate your addonslist.txt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2
Step 2: open with notepad and hit ctrl+f look for "213445426"
Step 3: Change the 1 to 0 and move to the very top of your addonlist make sure its 0 so it stays at the top
Step 4: Save the document make a backup if you need (sometimes lfd2 addons all enable themselves so its a good habit)
Step 5: Load lfd2 wait for all your addons to load manacats library should be at the top of your addons list enable it then all your other mods should be working although i havent tested it a lot since i havent been playing lfd2 a lot recently so im not sure what breaks although i did notice mods that didnt work, start working after doing this.

@圈圈x
you should let me know what are you using among my stuffs
圈圈x 5 May @ 4:40am 
这次更新后我相关的MOD都失效了,尝试过重新订阅也还是一样的问题,请问我怎么解决?
After this update, my related mods have become invalid, and I tried to re-subscribe and it is still the same problem, how can I solve it?
傲影 5 May @ 12:37am 
Don't mind them, my friend. You've done a great job already. No creator can guarantee their mod is perfect — it's a continuous process of refinement and improvement. I'm really grateful that you're still optimizing it even now. Even if it's just a script, I used to experience crashes when I played last year, but today, when I played again, the issue was gone. That proves it's indeed getting better and better. Some special situations may still occur, and trying to track down the cause must be extremely time-consuming and complicated. On top of that, you're under no obligation to maintain it. You've said it works perfectly fine for you, and in my eyes, everything you've done has been selfless. A mod from ten years ago still being improved today — honestly, I’ve never seen another author do that (at least, not that I know of). I support you, my friend, and I truly appreciate your efforts!:steamthumbsup:

valid crash out
I recommend you to possibly put a "if reporting a problem / bug / glitch, write it in details, also link a console command to it that's possibly related." in the description
MANACAT  [author] 4 May @ 1:22pm 
Do you think I should test and upload every possible crash possibility completely? I have over 20 stuffs already. How can I fix and test them all at once? How am I supposed to prove all these minor gamemodes by myself, like Tank Run, Survival, etc? How do I know what add-ons you use on what PC? Do you think it makes sense to imagine and prepare for every case? Are you saying I shouldn't do anything? Do you think my job is to be an L4D developer? No, I'm just a player like you. I have nothing to gain by doing this work. but I help you and you don't help me at all. Just throwing tantrums. I wish you'd just gone away.
MANACAT  [author] 4 May @ 1:21pm 
Don't you know "IT COULD BE" mean? Of course I uploaded it because it's playable enough when I tested. The fact is, none of you know exactly why you're getting crashed. You just say "It crashed, I don't know why". You don't even give a detailed report. Then I test it and it's fine for me. What do you want me to do? Even when the problem is caused by something that isn't mine, you come to me and complain.

Oh, I didn't know you were my boss. Are you paying me a salary? If you're not that and just going to throw tantrums, please just fick off, don't use my shit anything, unsub everything. I don't want to serve someone like you for free.
ebes 4 May @ 11:27am 
Why is this crashing? it could be because I haven't finished all my work yet.

I haven't finished all my work yet.

That's the thing, you can take more time and just, not release it yet
that's the thing
you shouldn't be expected to release something unfinished, we didn't expect that, you did that, and now some of us (yeah us cause I kinda contributed with that 1 shitty complain of a comment) are throwing tantrums because you released something that's unfinished and shouldn't be released yet
MANACAT  [author] 4 May @ 6:38am 
But I thought it was something I had to do someday. I'm just doing what I have to do. I thought If I did it later, make more confused it would be, so it's best to try to systematize it out now.

And about Tankrun, I haven't checked that yet. But I don't think it's urgent, so I'll check and fix it later. My top priorities are campaigns and realism.

Anyway you guys don't know how to be grateful, just complain easily. That's make me tire out. Are you surely my fans?
Have you ever thought about giving me even just one dollar to thank me for something? No, you didn't until now. even any penny.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for money now. just, JUST can't you at least tolerate some impatient comments? I'm sorry but it even feels kinda rude to me.
If you donated me something, maybe you deserve to complain about my slow work. but you weren't as you know. then, just wait or unsubscribe.
MANACAT  [author] 4 May @ 6:38am 
Why is this crashing? it could be because I haven't finished all my work yet. I'm currently preparing code fix for FF Reflector.
Also I don't even sure if my stuff is the problem. I still use my stuff almost and it doesn't crash almost for me. even now. Especially @AishanathaliA, you talking about totally nonsense, i played today and yesterday with my stuffs and I'm fine. if crashes every 2 mins, go find out something else reason.
Yesterday : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSqCD0aeJ7Q
Today : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u64xhMSSgA

Do you guys think there were no problems before I changed how to include common codes? No. The problems were constant. In fact, if you look at the old comments of my stuff, there have been continuous reports of issues. You guys just didn't know about them. Because you don't use almost of my stuff like I do. Most of you only use a few of the things I've made, so who knows what might happen when you use them all?
syahmi2002.sa 4 May @ 4:44am 
@ebes Uh yeah, the decision to make this addon a mandatory requirement for most of his scripts is good in theory, but in practice, it causes his affected script mods break the game.
ebes 4 May @ 2:25am 
seeing how most up-to-date comments are really discussing the shittiness of this mod, I think I might just uninstall everything I've got from you so far
AishanathaliA 4 May @ 2:18am 
Sorry to say this. After mod installed, game crashes every 2minutes long in anysituations like idling, exploring or combat
KnownForm 3 May @ 12:15pm 
Ever since i added this addon my game randomly crashes :(
Fr@nc0 ツツツツ 3 May @ 11:09am 
@MANACAT It worked for me for a while but then no tank would come out anymore just 1 rarely in tank run mode
syahmi2002.sa 3 May @ 3:39am 
@❤༺°GEO_MOD•༻❤ Good thing I'm not the only one experiencing the crashing issue. I honestly thought the issue comes from unoptimized weapon/survivor skin mods I installed for the last couple of weeks.
GEO ❤ 2 May @ 9:33am 
I came to the conclusion that for some reason this causes crashes in some random areas of custom maps or normal maps for some reason the crashes are due to command changes in some scripts fuck :c
GEO ❤ 1 May @ 7:33pm 
Why do we need this now? I'm not sure but what causes the game to crash?
初音米ク 30 Apr @ 12:20am 
Hey there!
I hope you're doing well. I noticed that when this mod is enabled in single-player or on a server, guns of the same type (picked up from different places) can't be stacked together anymore — unlike in the vanilla game.
This causes a problem where ammo can't be taken infinitely from the stacked weapons, which makes survival mode much harder.
Would it be possible to fix this or provide a workaround? Thanks for your great work!:rer_like:
29 Apr @ 10:25pm 
still cant turn off server message, its duplicate with admin system
inXsify 25 Apr @ 5:31pm 
this mod despawned all my enemies on some maps when i played tank run. havent tested all maps but c1m2 streets, coldstream lvl 2, and death toll lvl 2 are all bugged for me when i have this mod on.

@Interneted

Well that's odd...something conflicting that it shouldn't, thank you for the knowledge good sir, I'd be lost without you, my apologies for flooding this chat.
syahmi2002.sa 22 Apr @ 5:14pm 
It seems like the recent update you made to your addons like this one, [Improved] Extended Item Carrier Infected, [Improved] Headshot Feedback Effect and [Improved] Junk in Crates (these latter three are the ones I subscribed to) cause my game to crash at certain points during the playthrough. Unsubscribing them fixed the issue.

@λ Eiku λ
the console error is not related to this add-on.
this add-on is the culprit

I've been having a bug recently that Infected that drop items have a sort of failure where the items don't actually drop, instead they float and follow the common infecteds death animation path (even despite one not playing) and then disappearing, when this was having its bug where it acted like it wasn't installed that's when items dropped fine again, which leads me to believe my issue lies in this mod, another backup to my idea is that the items dropped fine when I disabled this mod for a moment, I wish you good luck on finding the issue and fixing it as I'm unsure how complicated these issues can be for you script dev's,

And if it helps here's the error message I seem to get every time this happens, in the next comment I post.
