settings.cfg
If you have loaded a map at least once with this add-on installed, settings.cfg and settings2.cfg files will be created into Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/interneted_skilldetect

settings.cfg
{ onEatTankRock = true onDeadstopHunter = true onInstaClearSpecial = true onCrownWitch = true onSpecialTriggerCarAlarm = true onChargerDeathCharge = true onSkeetTankRock = true onMeleeCrownWitch = true onCutSmokerTongue = true onSelfClearSmoker = true onSkeetHunter = true onShutdownBoomer = true onHunterHighPounce = true onMeleeSkeetHunter = true onLevelCharger = true onChargerDeathChargeByBowl = true }
You may change the values for each key inside the table as you like, make sure to put a boolean type like true or false, any other type will force the value to be true in the ems file.

true means that you have enabled that particular skill detect, vice versa for false.

Key
Description
onLevelCharger_minDamage
Minimum damage dealt to the leveled charger.
onInstaClearSpecial_maxTime
Maximum amount of time to clear a survivor from a special infected after being pinned.

The time resets when a charger starts pummeling and a smoker starts choking regardless if the choke has been canceled before or not.

In seconds.
onHunterHighPounce_minHeight
Minimum amount of height to be considered as a high-pounce.
onSkeetHunter_minDamage
Minimum amount of total damage being dealt to the skeeted hunter.

I can understand that skeeting a low hp hunter as the only damage done is kind of unfair.

NOTE: damage is only accumulated by hitting the hunter in the air.
onHunterHighPounce_minDamage
Minimum amount of pounce damage to be considered as a high-pounce.

I didn't know that the hunter will always deal at least 1 damage in versus. :V
onShutdownBoomer_maxTime
Maximum amount of time to kill the boomer without getting anyone biled, right after it spawns.

In seconds.
onDeadstopHunter_minHeight
Minimum amount of height to be considered as deadstopping the hunter.

Have more conditional settings in mind? Feel free to share it with me to see if I am interested in adding it.

Using it in PvP gamemodes
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"
