@kurochama ok I found it, if you put all the components in one place then it would be a lot less confusing for those who don't know where to find it
Anyway, this is a great mod, thanks

@huudatno1 , start a map by using this mod on Singleplayer, then check your game folder in ".../Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/". You'll find "item drop bonus" folder there. The cfg file is inside that folder.

@kurochama sooo.... where do I find this cfg file? All I get from the mod are addoninfo.txt and a scripts folder which contains 2 .nut files inside

@huudatno1 , check the Change Notes on 26 Nov, 2023 @ 1:05am . I put a feature on the cfg file about this, so there's no need to change it via modifying ".nut" file.

@kurochama is there anyway to increase the timer from 10 to 15 ~ 20 seconds? Sometimes the item is dropped far away so 10 seconds is not enough to get it. I tried setting the "ItemDropDuration" in the .nut file from 1 to 2 but nothing changed.
(I'm not interested in stealing your mod, this is just for my personal use)

@kurochama you are the best thankssss

@PROYECTO&ALICE. , I added a new feature, "Allow Gnome To Spawn". You can try it.

Really? Great, I'll be looking forward to the modification so I can play.

@PROYECTO&ALICE. , isn't gnome usually what people need? It can give ammo & upgrades after killing a boss (tank or witch), so it's like a reward for hard work. Well, I can add a feature to enable/ disable gnome appearance later.

@kurochama yes gnome

@PROYECTO&ALICE. , what is Nomo? Is it gnome?

@kurochama Hi again, I really liked that you modified the files to enable and disable the aura when receiving the reward, do you think it is possible for you to modify the files to enable and disable the Nomo, I feel that it is a great advantage for my friends, this is the last favor I ask of you, if you can I would appreciate it with all my heart, but if you can't don't worry, I still appreciate you making that last change to the files that I requested last time.

I don't speak English so I'm using a translator

a cool feature for this: the bonus dropped weapon have custom ammo

@kurochama, Thank you very much! I'm sure that many of us will love this new modification in the files, I always use this mod in any of my games and if before for me it was a 10/10 now it's a 100/10, how I'm going to enjoy this improvement :)

@shaggy , there's a new feature, "Enable Glow", on the recent update. You can turn the silhouette off with this feature.

@shaggy , the feature to turn the silhouette on/ off is not available yet, but I can add that one later on the next update.

Hi, I love your mod, it's very cool. Please could you add a file where you can turn the green silhouette on or off? Since I'm familiar with it for a more realistic experience, I'd like to have the option to be able to turn it off in the files 🥺🙏

@Legatus General , set the value of on cfg folder to -1. That will disable it.

Love this mod but can I disable the text randomly asking me about Cruel Bots Mode?
Shits fucking annoying.

@Kurochama Thanks

@Gumbs , set the value to minus to disable it. For example: "CruelBotsMode -1".

Excuse me, you can add an option to remove the message of whether or not to activate aggressive bots with such keys

it's way better than the drop the treasure addon I were using, I really like this

@ahomelander , the notification can't be removed for now. Probably I'll add a feature to turn on/off the notification on the next update. As for the spawned items, they can't be changed for now

@Gato Gaming , that colored silhouette is to mark where the items are dropped. If it's removed, the dropped items will be harder to find when there are more special infected killed at once or when they're killed in the middle of horde.

One question, can that colored silhouette be removed when an infected person is killed?

Great mod, i have a question tho, how do i remove the 10s timer or change spawned items

@Pwnage Peanut , I think it's possible by adding a new feature. Probably can add it later when I have enough free time in real life to add more scripts

Is there any chance in the future we can change Tank drops?

For example, making them only drop first aid kits.

pretty goated

@Kaisy , I think this one can be disabled via cfg file, by setting "T3 Weapons Can Pick Ammo". & only m60 has lots of reserve ammo, while grenade launcher & chainsaw still have the default ammo/ fuel when refilling ammo/ fuel.

but can you make a version without T3 ammo buffed?

@Kaisy, "Item Drop Bonus" has value no. 2 that can increase drop chance when survivors keep killing zombies. As for manual drop chance settings, I only put tank because if if special infected's drop chance is added too, it can be too OP.

i only need item drop chance

@Marcus , normally it should be possible. But I didin't add it because it might break the game balance especially during horde/ panic event, as common infected would more likely drop items during panic event even if it's set to only 1% chance. It might still need more tests, along with what items would be dropped by common infected.

is there a way to make common infected drop items?

@Karien , I see. This mod only increases ammo count for chainsaw to default max (30) when picking a gascan with chainsaw fuel below 30, so, if you have another mod that increases chainsaw ammo count more than 30, the gascan won't refill it until the ammo goes down below 30.

I think I found out why, because it also touches ammo count for the guns, it conflicts with another script mod we use.

Yeah, it's on slot 2. Funny thing is, Cruel bots actually works when set to 0-1 but it just does what another mod basically does but stronger, in sense. Accidentally managed to toggle it on and off as well in gameplay.

@Karien , that could be the case. Btw, was the chainsaw slot on secondary slot during your play? Value no. 2 only works if chainsaw is on secondary slot (default slot). Before I uploaded, I tested it on map 2 of Dead Center where there are some gascans & chainsaw, & it worked. If you want to check whether it works or not, you can try to set "Cruel Bots Mode" to 0 or 1 first, & then press "TAB + E". If it shows a notification like "Cruel Bots mode is enabled/ disabled", then the mod should work as well as the chainsaw refuel with gascan. But if that notification doesn't show up, you can check console for errors (some red texts on console). Usually there's info on which part & what caused the errors.

Guess it might be a conflict with something else since a red picking up a red gascan didn't do anything, Does it refer to some specific file or line so I can figure out which script it conflicts with?

@Karien , I just updated "T3 Can Pick Ammo" with value no. 2. You can set the value to 2 now, & this should make chainsaw refill fuel to max simply by carrying a gascan.

@Karien , I'll try to update a new value no. 2 soon then. Unlike no. 1, no. 2 will refill chainsaw fuel simply by carrying a gascan. This should fix the problem with controller.

Yeah, it's on 1.

@Karien , what was the setting of "T3 Can Pick Ammo"? Was it set to 1? This one controls ability to refill fuel for chainsaw.

Strangely still doesn't work. I wonder what does it actually use since it might just be a conflict with another script/file? Since my partner just used M&K, she tested it as well and seems like nothing happened as well. The 'Cruel bots" thing did work though.

@Karien , I just updated this mod recently & added some scripts on gascan. You can give a try. I tested it on keyboard & it worked, but I still haven't tested on controller yet.

Yes, I have tried picking up the gascan while holding on to my chainsaw. Basically was the first thing I did but the fuel meter stayed the same unless the refill is very tiny and not a full refill. Tried multiple ways of picking to refill but in the end just gave up and swapped to another melee.

I'll try the cruel bots disable suggestion, will test later to see if that works.

@Karien , have you tried to pick gascan when you're still holding chainsaw? Normally the fuel should be refilled as long as the chainsaw fuel gauge is not full. I'll try to check the scripts soon when I'm on PC.

As for "Cruel Bots", try to set it to -1 to disable the feature along with the notifications.

Just wondering, is it possible to code in refill for controller for the chainsaw? It seems like anyone using a controller for it doesn't get a refill when picking up a gascan. Tried it earlier and it didn't do anything. Unless it only works if the chainsaw is fully empty and not nearly empty? Also, is there a way to turn off the Cruel bots prompt and toggle? I already have a bot script that basically does what it does and more, so it's just annoying to some people I play with.

As ive stated before, i could go onto countless campaigns not seeing a single gnome, i saw only one spawn somewhere usefull by my own eyes, and having "hidden features" seems like an odd way to enhance people's experience, as sometimes i play with random people i respecfully inform everyone that the server is modded and what it contains and how to use each feature, i dont think that hiding behind "you gotta know this to use it" is a good way of having usefull scripts such as these, about 0.1% people target the gnome to pick it up and use leftclick upon it, and combined with its insane rarity the feature never gets discovered, i need to urge people that some features i have installed are upon the server and they never use it simply because its not in the nature of vanilla L4D2, so to be clear, nothing is "a prank" even the flamethrowers i inform people right as they join that a grenade launcher "can be" a flamethrower, and people start picking it right away
