Understandable. This is still incredibly cool and useful for the more horror-themed corrections.

@Sayachii No, I'm just not interested enough to make it.

Is there a chance you'll make a version for the lasersights? (They appear for everyone else but the client's model, mostly a thirdpersonshoulder thing)

Works better in customs maps

@ 爱笑的佐巴扬 Looks like a problem with the source engine itself when a light entity hits a prop, since that problem occurs with the sourcemod flashlight mod too.

it would've been nice if it wasnt for the second flashlight following my first flashlight

NPC's flashlight Will make Object modeling emit light, I hope to fix it.

@Ptprost
Yes
I actually had that problem and it was driving me crazy, so I was testing my mods to see if any of them were causing that conflict (although I didn't have any conflicts with any others in my mod list), and it made me even weirder.
Then I read the comments, and a guy typed the same command you mentioned, and that problem was solved for me :)
Also, I got this LITE version, it's lighter and better suited my needs :)

@Колоссальный вет
Yeah, in testing survivor bots tended to only turn their flashlights on at the start of a level.
Setting "sb_flashlight" to 1 forces their flashlights to stay on, but I opted to not change that behavior. though valve probably didn't do that intentionally

@Ptprost
Is it normal for survivors not to turn on their lights? (Like the demo gift in the mod description) Because it's happening to me :/
Survivors turn their lights on, then turn them off, and stay like that for a few minutes or even longer, and with "luck" they turn them back on.

@SHiFT_DeL3TE The incap animation does actually support full rotation if you inspect the survivors in HLMV, but the game is hardcoded to limit it to a certain range. VScript wouldn't be able to solve it, since it needs to be changed clientside too. It'd require source code changes.

It's probably limited that way because the animation does look pretty awkward when aiming behind yourself, although there's a technical reason for it (the parameter for looking left to right ranges from -180 and 180, -180 and 180 both represent directly behind, so the animation should look identical in both cases)

holy shit being able to see other survivor flashlights. Maybe soon we will fix the incap 180 turn animation into survivors actually being able to look behind them when downed.

I used those commands because I suspect that the Source engine, being so old and limited, may not work properly with more particles/materials than allowed, so you have to remove or limit what is generated within the game.

By For example, you can see that the more zombies (or anything related to them), and even more so if they are hordes, somehow it starts to blink from less to more, this is "confirmed" with the "No infected" addon, from which no problem occurs at any time as there are no zombies or similar anywhere, but I repeat, this was my experience, I hope to give you an idea friend.

Hi, in my experience, the sb_flashlight command (changed from 0 to 1) helps prevent flashlights from "disappearing." However, regarding the other issues, I don't know what the solution would be, at least for now, that is, the flashlights that "flash." In my case, I tried the following commands (reducing the "default" number of each):

z_background_limit
cl_ragdoll_limit
z_common_limit

But they didn't give a definitive result (at first, it seemed to work 100%, but then, despite the low probability, the bug you mentioned in the addon description occurred after a certain number of games, and to resolve this, I had to restart L4D2).

When there are two flashlight textures merging, the transparent edges of the flashlight texture becomes opaque. Can you please fix this? Nonetheless, it's still a pretty decent addition. Just needs a few tweaks here and there.

@IAmLiveLevi I think creating a lot of flashlights could stop some of the flashing, but ultimately these bugs seem to be impossible to fix via vscript. I think someone would need to patch the DLL which has the code for rendering the projected textures to screen. (Which I don't know how to do)

Wouldve given me a seizure if I was prone but sick that i can see flashlights

update!!! update!!!! so much bug

@Ptprost any update with the bug fixes?

finally l4d2 left 4 dead 2 dynamic flashlights

@Alpha I tested with nicholas cage flashlight and it worked.

@JV17 Not that I know of.

@Kaleidø.vtf loaing

What the situation will be when I use custom flashlight pic (like high-light flashlight mod) ?

it says
printl(" loaing survivor flashights!");
did you mean loading?

Is there any command or code in the console to prevent the lights disappearing?

NICE! WORKS WITH DEDICATED SERVERS! (Of course you need to host one)

The dynamic light fallback was a good idea. Made the flickering less noticeable.

disagree

Flashes of bright LED brighter then mine from other survivors, horrible!

Been waiting so long for this. THANK YOU

flashlight vision is bug to low or medium detail

FINALLY.

only took 15 years

Finally!

@Solar It seems like most of the bugs are at the engine level, so I probably can't.

very buggy mod, do you plan on fixing the bugs?

THIS IS WHAT FLASHLIGHT MOD I'M LOOKING FOR!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

@bob the doggo It's fun, and I'm not nearly as bad as your spelling or punctuation (or lack of).

@Ptprost bruhhh my bad I didn't see that xd
Thank youuu kind person for this amazing mod

@Trixxite I actually already made a version that only uses dynamic lights, there's a link at the bottom of the description where it says "Lite Version"

@Ptprost I see! To me it seems that it's just the projected flashlight textures from your teammates which flicker constantly, but the dynamic light cast seems to work just fine. Idk how hard that would be to implement but would it be possible to work on a version without the projected flashlight textures but just the dynamic light? Otherwise, this is an amazing mod

Legendary Mod, its taken yrs for something like this to show up, now all we need is a mod to have the screamer and boomer and leaker in the same game, theres a leaker version but we also need screamer included

@RF True, but I wanted to keep the fact where if you perform certain actions your flashlight briefly moves away. Though I could probably detect if the cvar that attaches the flashlight to the player's camera is enabled to have an option for that.

@MrDanny You're right, but I won't be making that, because it was hard enough attaching a flashlight to the guns, which has more room for error than a laser, and it would also duplicate laser sights on all survivors' guns.

@Trixxite Unfortunately, that bug seems to be luck of the draw, and I don't know of any way I can fix it, and it *might* also depend on how well the game is running, but if it keeps happening you're probably better off not using this.

the flashlights flicker like hell on every map i play, someone found any fix for that yet?

Yes!! Finally!! Somebody made a Vscript version! Was the only thing I was missing from Sourcemod!

It's good but it crashes the game

idk if its the flashlight mod im using or mod compat, but the other flashlights flicker so much its distracting

YOUR CHANNEL NAME

how bad you should be to play whit sixteen bots

Cool idea.
By the way: "env_projectedtexture — This is the most expensive light entity in the engine, use sparingly. Newer hardware with a good CPU can handle it better".
