Additionally you can use the following commands to customize the weapon spawns:

l4f_weapontoconvert <weapon1>,<weapon2> (first given weapon will be converted to the second given one)
l4f_weapontoremove <weapon> (given weapon will not spawn)
l4f_defaultitem <item> (Survivors will spawn with the given item)

You can add multiple lines of the same command to customize all the weapons you want (one command on each line).

Example:

l4f_weapontoconvert weapon_first_aid_kit,weapon_pain_pills_spawn l4f_weapontoconvert weapon_smg,weapon_pumpshotgun_spawn l4f_weapontoremove weapon_pistol l4f_weapontoremove weapon_pistol_magnum l4f_defaultitem chainsaw

In the example above the first aid kits will be replaced by pain pills, smg by pump shotgun, pistols will not spawn at all and survivors will spawn with a chainsaw instead.

You can even convert the infected types with the command:

l4f_zombietoconvert <infected_type_id1>,<infected_type_id2> (first given infected type will be converted to the second one)

Example:

l4f_zombietoconvert 4,8 // spitter becomes a tank l4f_zombietoconvert 5,7 // jockey becomes a witch l4f_zombietoconvert 6,11 // charger becomes a witch bride

Here is the list of infected type IDs:

0 = Common 1 = Smoker 2 = Boomer 3 = Hunter 4 = Spitter 5 = Jockey 6 = Charger 7 = Witch 8 = Tank 11 = Witch Bride

With the following command you can change all the Director's options you want:

l4f_director.<director_option> <value> (a list of director options you can change can be found here)

Example:

l4f_director.AggressiveSpecials 0 l4f_director.cm_AggressiveSpecials 0 l4f_director.MaxSpecials 4 l4f_director.cm_MaxSpecials 4

With this command you can change the render settings of certain entities:

l4f_render.<render_variable>.<entity_type> <value>

render_variable can be "mode", "fx", "color".
entity_type can be "survivor", "common", "smoker", "boomer", "hunter", "spitter", "jockey", "charger", "tank", "witch".
Example:

l4f_render.mode.common 1 l4f_render.fx.common 9 l4f_render.color.common 255 255 255 50

For a better example of what you can do with this command, check the "l4f_ghosts" mod from the Left 4 Fun sample mods addon.

The following command can be used to remove certain item / item spawns from the map:

l4f_sanitize <type> (one type each line)

Example:

l4f_sanitize weapons l4f_sanitize weapon_spawns l4f_sanitize ammo

Here is the list of available types:

weapons (all the weapons) weapon_spawns (all the weapons) utils (pipe bomb, bile jar, molotov) util_spawns (pipe bomb, bile jar, molotov) meds (medkit, pain pills, adrenaline) med_spawns (medkit, defibrillator, pain pills, adrenaline) health_cabinets (yes, the health cabinets) upgrades (incendiary / explosive bullets) upgrade_spawns (incendiary / explosive bullets, laser sight) extras (gas can, oxygen tank, propane tank, fireworks crate) extra_spawns (gas can, oxygen tank, propane tank, fireworks crate) ammo (ammo pile) all (all of them)
