Technical Stuff (settings.cfg, etc)
Moved from the description page.

A settings.cfg file will be generated into Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/survivor_ragdolls
Settings available are:
Setting
Default
Description
transparentOnlyOnRealism
true
Whether to allow transparent defib bodies only for Realism. true to enable, false to disable
timeUntilTransparent
5.00
Time until transparency is applied to defib body. Use -1.0 to disable completely
noDefib
false
Remove the defib body completely
allowBurningCorpse
false
Allow fire damage like Molotovs or Incendiary Ammo to set the body on fire
ragdollForce
0.3
Set to -1 to ignore. The multiplier for force applied to ragdolls. Valve weakened this effect on SI and commons sadly, but survivor ragdolls are fully affected
The hidden console variable that ragdollForce controls is phys_ragdoll_force_magnitude

The addon has functionality on all gamemodes and maps, but for PvP gamemodes like Versus it is automatically disabled by Valve.
To make it work in Versus on your local server, right-click on Left 4 Dead 2 in your steam library, select Properties, click on the Installed Files tab, then click on the Browse... button.
Go to left4dead2/cfg/ and open addonconfig.cfg with a text editor or Notepad.
Finally, edit this line:
"versus" "1"
to
"versus" "0"

How to increase the survivor ragdoll limit (by MR. Santiago):
well you need to create a script/gamemodes addon and add these commands in gamemodes.txt file cvars in coop realism etc.:
cl_ragdoll_limit -1
cl_ragdoll_maxcount 110
cl_ragdoll_maxcount_survivor 4
sv_ragdoll_maxcount 110
sv_ragdoll_maxcount_survivor 4

With these, you can ensure that none of the survivor ragdolls will disappear even if you dont see them killed or after killing so many infected. The ragdoll will stay for the entire chapter

Can someone explain how to make the ragdolls not disappear like santiago did, but more detailed? I have no idea how to create addons or if I even can.
