Been using this mod for two years. It's the best. Do you know how to resolve conflicts with fonts?

Can I message you for help? I've tried multiple times following these steps but the names still show up. The file doesn't say CFG, it just says text document, even if I put .cfg at the end.

UPDATE: ok so ignore what i typed out below because i just found out that all you need to do is rename autoexec file to a cfg, rather then a document file. mb if i came off really rude, however you could've atleast put that in the tutorial, or better yet make a actual YT tutorial or somthin IDK

(still good mod nonetheless) :steamthumbsup: :steamthumbsup: :steamthumbsup:

ok i looked threw the tutorial again and i tried doing the steps again, and it did not work at all, it didn't crash my game or freeze it but now it does nothing. i legit tried every single step 1 TO 1 and nothing worked, either im doing something wrong or the mod doesn't work, because im looking threw the tutorial steps and it did nothing at all. i mind aswell just assume this mod/addon just doesnt work

also suggestion: can you please actually make a youtube tutorial idk what tf im doing pleae bro. :steamsad:

Mine crashes once I switch applications.

The only issue I have with this is that it also removes the names when you need to choose your character and in the outro. i wish this only removed names in game

survivor names in hud use the game's default look when using this mod with a custom font

Needs a bit of fiddling but worked out in the end

Ah crap, though as much, thanks a ton either way!:steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

@anzul clientscheme.res is located in Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\pak01_dir.vpk

voce precisa ativar uma configuração de video dentro do jogo pra funcionar
ex: se voce usa 2x msaa, ativa o 4x e depois volta pro 2x (não pode ser no lobby) dentro de uma partida, seja feliz ;D
anzul 19 Oct, 2022 @ 1:56pm 
i wana do what Supreme Leader said as well, make the survivor names smaller, where do i find the clientscheme.res you speak of? google is not helping me at all.
great mod either way :steamthumbsup:
Supreme Leader 11 Aug, 2022 @ 5:06am 
Awesome! Thanks a lot 'ᴋⲩ1‾!
Ky1  [author] 10 Aug, 2022 @ 12:48pm 
I won't make a guide but what you need to do is: Open clientscheme.res, use CTRL+F and search for "TargetID", now just play with "tall" and "wide" values as you please. If you have problems, add me and I will help you.
Supreme Leader 10 Aug, 2022 @ 11:14am 
Hi 'ᴋⲩ1‾, can you also guide me how to make the survivor's name size smaller?
This is already great btw, great work!
Sign inspector. 19 May, 2022 @ 4:34pm 
Yes i've been waiting for years.
Bit 17 May, 2022 @ 7:31am

That's what i thought.
I'm 100% sure players' usernames are tied to the server itself and that's why those can't be changed, furthermore, even if there was the slightest chance to change them, the feature would be so 'hardcoded' that it'd be next to impossible.
Congratulations again for the addon, it's well thought and helps me get rid of those pesky name tags that keep floating around, obstructing me from seeing items' halos scattered around the map.
Thanks for the help !

@Bit
It is possible only to change bot names, it won't work on multiplayer. As for the HUD thing, it's possible to remove the names from hud too, changing them for players is not possible.
Raiden 17 May, 2022 @ 1:56am 
Works pretty good. Even with 8 bots.
Freddy The Flamingo 16 May, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
Can't wait to try it out for this, that will be incredible to use.
Bit 16 May, 2022 @ 3:43pm 
Apologies if my question may sound confusing or out of place, but is it possible to display only default survivors' names in the HUD & scoreboard ( e.g. Nick, Rochelle, Coach, Ellis etc. ), instead of steam's players' usernames during online sessions ?
Also, kudos for a job well done !
GS Mod In Play 16 May, 2022 @ 10:38am 
I would love to find a mod that only removes the glow from survivors and keeps the names, a lot of people beg for something like this.
M3R 16 May, 2022 @ 10:35am 
Thank you for this, I like making my game really realistic (outside of playing realism) and was wondering how I could remove the bots names and such a couple days ago. Glad there is this an an up-to-date guide!
slwaq 16 May, 2022 @ 9:53am 
I fully support the view that people like Levi should be banned from the comment section.
Thanks for the mod btw.

My guy got DECIMATED, fuckin' ouch.

Ky1  [author] 16 May, 2022 @ 6:21am 
I hate people like you, you like to comment on things when you don't even read the description. There's a big FAQ section in the description, but why bother to read when you can come in here and write garbage in the comments like the entitled human being you are ? Explain to me, but slowly, how do you play survival without names ? In your opinion, people who don't want names in survival should just play another mode, realism. People like you should be banned from commenting on workshop items. Plus.. if you have anime on your profile, your opinion becomes irrelevant. Now, try to read my reply and feel the same smartness you felt when you commented. Bet you can't.
Levi 16 May, 2022 @ 5:22am 
You guys can go to the lobby make a realism mode and playing it. LOL this mode is a waste.
晓野 15 May, 2022 @ 9:23pm 
我的天啊,终于有人解决了如何隐藏头顶名字的世纪难题!!!太谢谢您了

每次我瞄准的时候,队友头顶的名字就会挡住我的准星,如果我换点位,那么特感就会被队友抢先一步击杀,这回视线彻底干净了。
Ky1  [author] 15 May, 2022 @ 10:55am 
Yes, there is, add me and I will explain in private.
LargeSolidSnake 15 May, 2022 @ 10:51am 
Do you know if there's a way to make the text smaller instead?
doggun 15 May, 2022 @ 9:37am 
love this since it can be real fucky whenever a huge ass nametag is blocking your aim
Ky1  [author] 15 May, 2022 @ 12:47am 
I am happy to hear, enjoy !
Karl's brother Gimli 14 May, 2022 @ 8:13pm 
"ask the developers who break the game with every update they make ^^"
Thankfully I'm not the only one noticing this shit.

Thanks a lot for this mod mate, I was going batshit insane having to change the names every time I changed skins lol you just made our games much more beautifull to look at
Freddy The Flamingo 14 May, 2022 @ 5:54pm 
This should be perfect that can be able to use it for any Screenshots.
Ky1  [author] 14 May, 2022 @ 9:48am 
Might copied it twice by mistake. I see no other reason. If not, it might get fixed after game restart.
sae 14 May, 2022 @ 9:03am 
Awesome job! I remember looking for this about a year ago and I couldn't find anything.

Works perfectly.

It showed up twice under my Add-Ons in game for some reason, even after deleting 2807931470 from /workshop/ - I just disabled one of them and it works fine.
