Ok... So... Uh, solved
It's my fault for expecting Valve to not have fucking spaghetti code on a 10+ year old game and be consistent across different Operative Systems.

SO, I forgor to mention that I'm currently using Pop OS, based on Ubuntu 22.04, using the native Linux build for L4D2. It's basically flawless except for, aparently, ESPECIFICALLY the shaders are coded differently and nothing else (and the sprays, I can't use custom sprays on Linux).

Anywho, for me and the 3 other ppl using Linux for gaming, just throw the Linux build on the trash and use Proton (or Windows)

Reinstalled the mod, removed all launch options and autoexec.cfg to no difference, still investigating

All model shadows in N-pack are disabled, you shouldn't be seeing any squares, it's not normal. Make sure you have the full original modpack installed on a clean vanilla version of the game; no launch options, no configs, no bloat. First time hearing about this bug, hopefully it's not pc related.

Triple checked for mods colliding on my end, still investigating

For some reason this mod brakes the shadows of all entities, it turns it into squares instead of the actual entity shape. Im specifically using only the Nightmare base modpack and nothing else.

You came to me on your own initiative, you failed to perform basic troubleshooting, you made a false bug report and claimed my mod was to blame, and now you're calling me a prick for responding to you in a neutral manner.

or you know not be a prick? thanks all for not

triple checking should be the new standard

I literally did double check its why im reporting it anyways I reinstalled everything and its all fine now sorry for wasting your breath jesus christ

You didn't troubleshoot and find out what other mod is causing the issue, out of all the possible addons you picked this one for no reason without double checking. This mod has nothing to do with survivor bot AI.

I wasnt exactly making false reports I was partially asking if it was a thing that was recently added or maybe a possible issue on my end a friendly unfortunately nothing on my cvar or anywhere else exists try looking deeper seeing if something isnt working right rather then claiming im making a false report much appreciated

There isn't a single cvar in here that enables bot friendly fire, and it isn't advertised anywhere. Learn to install the modpack correctly with no conflicts before making false bug reports.

because all I have currently are the mod pack enabled there was a couple things in red but I fixed it on my end when I was playing the AI kept shooting me I was on single player I turned off this mod for a moment after seeing for a bit what the cause was and then the AI stopped friendly firing turning this back on they continued to do so again

mhm, and what made you assume my mod enables bot friendly fire exactly?

I have no clue if its intended or anything but for some reason with this mod the survivor AI's can damage me and due to how dumb they are in base game I rather not have to deal with them downing me I dont want to remove them either I just wanna be able to play explore the maps as they are for being dark the mod hard etc

I see, I'll try to do a reinstall in that case, thanks for the response

never once encountered these issues, something unrelated to npack is likely causing this.

Another thing related to the health "bug", there's also random moments where health gets restored to full upon getting hit and doesn't deplete until after a couple of more hits.

Not exactly sure if it's a bug on this addon or something else, but getting hit after using a medkit resets your health back to how it was prior to healing. Apologies if this was addressed somewhere.

you're absolutely right nick

I'm ready!

sometimes i take my laptop to the bathroom to play steam games on the toilet

@Yoru. okay so thankfully that's not a actual feature of this mod.

Was worried all of a sudden i somehow made a already Seizure inducing gameplay into a teeth pulling hell whole(no joke playing with your balance mods and collection led me to a near seizure lol)

I'll find a way to fix the stuff and continue to submit my friends and i through the torture of playing nightmare and its other collection.

Thank you For thy wisdom funny steam voice

awp has no reserve ammo, and autoshotguns have at least 32 spare shells. you somehow fucked up installing a simple addon, congratulations.

idk why the Auto shotguns got nerfed to just 10 rounds in their magazines. i assume its cuz Irl they only 10 rounds?

but why only 5 shells on reverse while weapons like the Awp get 40?

balls

Imagine if I answered the same question 1000 times every day

what's the gore/blood visual called? looks so goooood and cool

man i just opened my notifications, what the fuck is this.

I do like sticking fingers in me, how could you tell

"people who tried this" = "asking for a friend". dont hide that you like sticking fingers in ur ass yoru, we all love you for who you are.

just like doom 3

you can recharge it faster by sticking one finger in your ass, and the other in your mouth, swap your hands every second for exactly 10 seconds, and your flashlight should be fully charged again. It puts you at a massive tactical disadvantage, but people who tried this said the trick works.

Makes sense, for sure feels that way at least.

you can shine it for 5 seconds, and then must wait 900 seconds for it to partially recharge.

How long does it take for the flashlight to recharge?

you don't need ui to tell if someone is at death's door, they play a limping animation and walk really slowly ._.

In co-op it makes more sense u just ask ur friend how low he is.

Also i know its part less UI clutter thing, but could you add the health of the other survivors back to the UI? Its next to impossible to tell which AI survivor got low hp or about to die in single-player. Would be nice if it even was just rly small on the side or something,

Is it possible to make flashlight UI so we can tell how much battery we have?

Im having problems getting more than 2 people on once 3 join it starts to have problems

you can shine for 90 seconds, and then must wait 10 seconds for it to fully recharge.

how long does it take for the battery to drain and how long does it take to recharge?

Raw steak

imagine if we lived together, so i could assist you in any kinds of stuff

imagine going to uni instead of staying home and assisting me with stuff

ermmm, imagine having such broken fleshlight in 2038 with a battery like this smh smh
this mud should get 4k white square floodlight update, so i could clearly see my naked genshin impact anime mods plsplzlpslla!11!

The flashlight thing wouldn't be so bad if the nightmare mod pack didn't already make everything so dark, i really think it should be its own mod

Bro, fuck the haters on the flashlight mechanic. You have any idea how long I've waited for someone to code that? I've wanted that for dark playthroughs forever. The light running out of juice is so awesome for the experience.

the flashlight is peak y'all are mad weird thinking its ass
