+1

;o Not sure if want...

Sounds great in theory but needz to be tested.
+1 to test it and tweak it accordingly, though : D

Sounds like a good start. Props to phil for doing this and to surgical for his efforts, also(See: Fog spawning cvars, etc).

much <3 , crayons might actually play something like this.

I'll edit in more cvars as I find them or suggested. Testing fog spawning on our server after our server updates D:

fyi: z_fog_spawn 1

Won't bother reuploading the package for just one cvar until I've done a bit more testing.

Needs to be significant, and also points for incapping... Lots of points...

Only possible tweaks through cvars (and presumably the only possible at all, given the attempts at changing the L4D1 score system) are changing 2 things, tiebreak bonus amount, and survival bonus amount. The tiebreak bonus needs to be less than or equal to the survival bonus in order to maintain balance and stop exploiting through denying a tiebreak. Currently testing with increasing to 100 instead of 25, that way killing survivors as infected means you deny 100 points per kill. Continuing to play with these values however.

We looking for l4d2 scrims tomorrow as well (Sunday !) to test it out and stuff so hit us up on steam if you are bored.

Hey guys,

Nice work on the CFG. We tried it a bit on our server, seems to work good, except for the fact that we saw 3 (!!!) defibs on Dead Center 1. And still many many pipebombs/molotovs in The Parish 2. This defib things seems to hang over our heads like some kind of a curse to be honest.

UPDATE: We also found incendiary ammo on two separate maps in The Parish.

Very cool.

very nice config, thank you.

only one thing, these cvars are hidden in l4d1/2

sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_maxupdaterate 33
sv_client_cmdrate_difference 1
sv_client_predict 1
sv_client_min_interp_ratio -1
sv_client_max_interp_ratio -1

if you want to use them, you need to force them with sm_cvar.
this one i cannot find at all "sv_client_interpolate 1"
and maxupdaterate 33 is a little low, default is 60

L4D/2 is locked to 30.

tickrate is locked to 30, maxupdaterate is locked at 60 and maxcmdrate isnt locked at all but you cant go higher then 80 cause sv_client_cmdrate_differnce (the max difference between cmdrate and updaterate) is set to 20. with sm_cvar you can force maxupdaterate higher then 60

Server refreshes 30 times a second, tell me, how exactly you propose the server to send 60 packets of unique information per second when new information is only generated 30 times a second?

you can test it on any server, just set cl_updaterate to 60 and it works. with a higher updaterate you can set your interp lower, cause cl_interp_ratio/cl_updaterate = minimal cl_interp
