although it would have been nice if it was possible to modify the last man on earth mutation to spawn common infected on the maps dead air blood harvest and cold stream again

ok cool

@Cody | MusicLockerStudio Yeah, it's fine to create derivatives/modify/do whatever with this mod.
Cody | MusicLockerStudio 23 Jul @ 4:24pm

@Cody | MusicLockerStudio Information provided is too vague for me to help you out. I need more details:
How sure are you that you were playing on official dedicated server? Did you type 'status' in console and at least got Linux Dedicated along Valve's regular hostname: Valve Left4Dead 2 X Y Server (srcdsZ)?
Did you apply the advice from the description? Installed B2V last, checked whether mods other than B2V don't conflict with each other, restarted the game?
What mods were you using alongside this one? Link to collection would be ideal.
What map exactly were you playing on? Which chapter?

from what i remember when i joined a server in a l4d1 campaign the tank was invisible and i believe some things had errors

@Cody | MusicLockerStudio Could you elaborate?
Cody | MusicLockerStudio 22 Jul @ 10:16pm 
this glitches out like crazy in official servers
Damian 12 Jul @ 9:57am 
Ok. Thank you.

@Damian Bad news: "game_sounds_*.txt" scripts (one of which is responsible for the gun pitch randomness), don't work from inside normal, workshop add-ons.
Good news: GameMaps version of B2V isn't a normal, workshop add-on and is already taking care of that.
Damian 6 Jul @ 4:56pm 
Ok
L0qi  [author] 6 Jul @ 3:44pm 
@Damian I'll try to check it out this week.
Damian 6 Jul @ 2:10pm 
Is there a way you can make the pitch of the guns not varie when firing?

fuck the developers patching fun glitches what assholes

Thanks! That made game more pretty
Thanks for this, that TLS update can suck my ass. I always like old versions better in games.
L0qi  [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 4:38pm 
@i shit my pants Fixed the textures problem today, thanks for reporting.

As for removing the campaign, the best I could do with a workshop add-on is hide it from the menus. I see no point in doing that. Get the GameMaps version of b2v if you want TLS maps actually removed. I made them optional here.

this messes up the textures in the last stand with the barricade in the finale
and why doesn't this remove the last stand even tho its supposed to be before the last stand update
ᴍ ᴀ ʀ ᴋ ʏ [ITA] 3 Sep, 2024 @ 5:17am 
Would there be a way for the Special Infected burn textures to be removed too?
L0qi  [author] 12 Aug, 2024 @ 2:55pm 
@Dangerous-JILL- Sounds like an unrelated issue that's been already covered countless times both in guides and discussions. Look up "game too dark" in before mentioned sections.
Dangerous-JILL- 11 Aug, 2024 @ 7:19pm 
Thanks, now i'm having an issue, because when i install it, the l4d maps are very dark and can't see anything, any solution?
L0qi  [author] 11 Aug, 2024 @ 7:00pm 
@Dangerous-JILL- Workshop version of this add-on contains original models. They override TLS models that reside in the folder called "update", which override original models stored in the "left4dead2*" folders. In short: It works like your average workshop weapon model mod.

GameMaps version is an "update" folder replacement that doesn't contain TLS weapon models, to make the game use what's inside the "left4dead2*" folders, skipping the double override.
Dangerous-JILL- 11 Aug, 2024 @ 5:54pm 
Great, it worked. I have a question, this makes the game look like it was before TLS, but are the models of weapons included in the file or those models are still in l4d2 folder but not activated,so what this mod does is to activate those models? I'd like to know that

the hunting rifle is broken when you look up and down

i miss this version so much it made L4D2 more fun (TLS Wannabe team ruined this game for me)

finaly ,I can use my favorite lines '' oh excuse me ?! EXCUSE ME ?! and there's virgil '' again on all map
AcidAddict33 31 Mar, 2023 @ 10:04am 
I originally meant a separate mod that ONLY removes the added dialogue.
But now that I think about it, something like that would only work in single player since script modifications only work for servers.

I guess in order to fix the issue with other voice packs you would HAVE to replace the added lines for each mod, which is impossible for old mods since most are 12+ years old and will never be updated.
And people playing in other languages are screwed since the added lines were only recorded in English. Damn TLS was worse than I thought. Thank you anyways, you saved me a lot of time trying to find/create an impossible solution.
L0qi  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 3:04am 
@AcidAddict33 This mod already does that. Or are you talking about removing them client side? If so then no, it's not possible.
AcidAddict33 30 Mar, 2023 @ 11:39pm 
Do you think it would be possible to make a mod that removes the added dialogue lines from TLS update? It causes issues when playing in a different language or with voice packs.
poopyhead58 21 Feb, 2023 @ 5:35pm 
this is a good mod i like it
L0qi  [author] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
@JoekCM Of course. Those are mostly Valve's files anyway.
v✰zkj 15 Dec, 2022 @ 7:57pm 
Can you also remove Bill's smoke particles?
v✰zkj 14 Dec, 2022 @ 6:04am 
idk.
L0qi  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 2:21am 
@The fog is coming Why did you give Back 2 Vanilla priority when description asks you for complete opposite? It's meant to be overwritten by other mods in case of conflicts.
v✰zkj 13 Dec, 2022 @ 4:15pm 
And now every skin for nick doesn't work if back 2 vanilla has priority over the mod because of the vtf file.
v✰zkj 11 Dec, 2022 @ 9:51am 
Nick's hand shadow seems to be gone.

bro you cant delete the update

L0qi  [author] 24 Aug, 2022 @ 10:04am 
@δράκος TLS isn't a beta branch, you can't opt out. What else did you want me to say? The mod that reverts the changes made in the update is right before your eyes. If you want a better version of it, visit GameMaps. If you want pure pre-TLS experience, pirate 2.1.5.5. And if you want to completely remove TLS from the face of Earth, go sacrifice your firstborn to Gaben.
Soigneur-Tireur 75 24 Aug, 2022 @ 9:44am 
In my opinion I believe that you did not hear very well what I have just written from what I see... I said how to uninstall the update The last stand of Left 4 Dead 2! I didn't say to delete the game
! It's a scandal It's as if I said I want an Audi while the waiter gives me an Opel! It's not possible !
L0qi  [author] 24 Aug, 2022 @ 9:26am 
@δράκος Library > right click L4D2 > Manage > Uninstall > Uninstall

Alternatively you could go back in time and make sure the update never happens. Somewhow.
Soigneur-Tireur 75 24 Aug, 2022 @ 8:49am 
i had a question, how to delete the last stand update forever ?
L0qi  [author] 24 Aug, 2022 @ 8:45am 
@δράκος I didn't. I worked with game files, like you would with a normal mod. There was a lot of manual file comparing between TLS and pre-TLS game versions, which wasn't a big time sink until I got to the scripts.

Most of the things are just being replaced with old stuff, not deleted. You can't delete much using a workshop mod. New models are replaced with old models, new sounds are replaced with old sounds that are cut/extended/spliced, etc.

GameMaps version on the other hand, can and does remove some files that are not needed for the game to run without issues, like weapon models, which are already present in other directory. I used TLS update folder as a base and kept deleting, modifying and adding files until I got what is basically a smaller in size and devoid of unnecessary content update folder.

Unpack and dissect those mods to see how they're made for yourself. I won't be writing an essay about them here, but if you have more specific questions, feel free to ask.
Soigneur-Tireur 75 24 Aug, 2022 @ 3:22am 
I have a question, how did you find the game source code to make this mod? how did you uninstall this update? I want to know it on the field with all the details!
gaugezilla06 12 Aug, 2022 @ 7:13pm 
but it was fun and a cool detail
SHΛDOW 31 Jul, 2022 @ 7:44am 
They could at launch but it was changed, they were terrible using it anyway. (at least this makes more melee weapons to players use)
20Flames1 9 Jul, 2022 @ 8:52pm 
same
gaugezilla06 9 Jul, 2022 @ 8:19pm 
i also remeber that bots can use melee on old versions of the game
