Known Issues and Possible Solutions
This discussion thread is to help people deal with certain problems and answer a few questions. This mod works, but there are issues that stop the mod from working properly. I hope this thread helps people solve some of their issues they maybe having.

Solutions to some problems:
Problem:
The mod is not in my addons folder, even though I subscribed and downloaded your mod.
Solution:
When you subscribe to this and start L4D2 you may have to exit and restart L4D2. This is a Workshop issue not mine.

Problem:
You made me think my mouse was broken, I couldn't activate things and other things
Solution:
Don't worry nothing is broken, just simply switch/cycle back to full auto-mode, " O " key (Normal Cross-hairs). This is a limitation of the cfg coding, This is the only way to make this mod work (to my knowledge). It puts wait commands on the attack button so there can be fire rate delays for semi and burst.

Problem:
Your mod doesn't work. I press O and/or P and nothing happens.
Solution
Make sure the addon is in the addons menu option in L4D2 and is checked. If it is then go to your keyboard option in L4D2 and set it to default. Make sure the Developer Console is turned on. Then open you command console by pressing the tilde/grave key " ~ " / " ` ", and type.
exec autoexec.cfg
press enter you should get some confirmation with the credits and controls. At this point it should work. If it doesn't you may have a conflicting mod that edits the autoexec.cfg or something. This mod is suppose to activate on start, but sense Workshop doesn't activate its mod until you get to the main menu, it can cause issues. Once you do this step, you shouldn't have to repeat it. Again this is a Workshop issue with the way it downloads/installs/activates mods not mine.

Problems I can't fix:
-If a server sets sv_allow_wait_command to 0 (sv_allow_wait_command "0") it will make the mod not work. Nothing I can do about peoples chooses to do what they want about their server.

-When burst is active, sometimes it will go 2 or 4 round burst instead of 3 round burst. It depends on the guns fire rate. Nothing I can do about it as I can't apply this mod to specific guns, as much as I would love to (at least I don’t know how.).

-This mod does not work for the Scar (Burst weapon) or the Semi-auto weapons. It is a limitation of the game, not mine. The only way to get it to somewhat work is to possibly break compatibility with other mods, or add code that interrupts game play. (It's annoying and it doesn't even work most of the time.)

A most have mod for indeed, although it can be annoying that machine guns will return to fully automatic if you switch them out and back again and you have to set the firing mode back again. I hope this can be fixed in future patches.

@Have a Nice Day
I had to choose between allowing the fire mode to go back to normal every time you switch weapons or have them stay them same to everything you switch to, that means that when you switch to a medic or something like that it will still be in burst or semi auto fire. People complained about it breaking game play flow, because you weren't able to heal yourself or teammates when in burst or semi auto fire. So, I made it this way.
Thanks very much for this trouble shooting guide. I believe I will be enjoying this mod quite a bit. Cheers mate.

the autoexec file dont give me any information D:
Garfield_Gaming 13 Aug, 2014 @ 9:50pm 
It works for me but i only wrote exec autoexec into the console.
LoadedAK47  [developer] 14 Aug, 2014 @ 12:19am 
yeah the .cfg is only the full command to make sure that it activates. But, it isn't necessary typing exec autoexec should work.

This mod was certainly very fun to use and I've had the mod for about 2 years now. I always had the issue where the keys didn't work and randomly they would once. I didn't bother to check the pinned thread with the solutions to my problems until now, but I want to say that the mod is very useful. It's a great way to save ammo on expert mode, and it helps me satisfy my thirsts for triplet shots without using the scar.

I'm very happy to hear someone use this mod for that long. I'm glad you enjoy it too. Lol, yes it is satisfing to use burst without the scar.

Have you tried setting your keyboard key bindings to default?
