Useful things thread - Surf314 - 12-08-2008
To start off:
Weapon Stats
Burst mode script:
alias +burst "+attack; wait 15; -attack"
alias -burst "-attack"
alias burstmode "bind mouse1 +burst"
alias automode "bind mouse1 +attack"
bind 1 "burstmode; slot1"
bind 2 "automode; slot2"
bind 3 "automode; slot3"
bind 4 "automode; slot4"
bind 5 "automode; slot5"
bind c "burstmode"
bind v "automode"

Also in the weapon stats the shotgun damage is per pellet. So they calculated out that if all 4 survivors hit a tank with 7 shots each point blank the tank dies.

usefull things:
not being an idiot, the crouch button is not that hard to use, if you cant shoot in burst fire you should be using the shotgun because your a tool.

LOL, I don't need it but someone made it and some might find it useful. Also I'd recommend people bind mouse4 or 5 to toggle_duck.
And pro-tip: in versus crouching, walking and standing still is supposed to remove your glow to infected. Some debate as to whether your flashlight needs to be on or off. Maybe some people can test it?

Burst mode?
There's another way than spamming mouse1?

Why do you need a script for burst fire?

I have no idea. Though my mouse does have a triple fire button already and I have no idea why it even has that.

i'd use this if i had an issue with ammo management.
luckily i store my extra bullets in my team mates
if i needed to think of a reason it'd be because an m16 has options for FA burst and single fire.
and i would use a single fire mod , because i do lurrv my headshots

Is burst mode more accurate?
Re: Useful things thread - Trace - 12-09-2008

Quote:Someone in this forum posted a method that, at least for me, works flawlessy and way better than the sv_search_key one.
Start L4D and open the console (or start it with the -console option);
Turn sv_cheats to 1.
Write ms_force_dedicated_server "server ip here" (without quotes).
Then just create the lobby as usual and you're good to go; since you change the sv_cheats var on your client only, when the game starts it will be to 0 as usual, so no problem with achievements and everything else.
I'll take the moment to thanks the one who posted it, unfortunately i can't remember the name or find the original thread. You know who you are .

This looks impressive. What does it do?

Binds your lobby to a specific server. You are supposed to be able to do it with sv_search_key but it is very buggy and only works sometimes. That's supposed to work 100% of the time.

Will it work with passworded servers?

dunno? you can try IP;password littlecart
Or we can remove the password since I think it's boot command includes -nomaster which takes it off the master server list.

I tried this earlier, but it didn't work. I think I did everything right, but I might not have. When I clicked the start game button, it searched for a minute and said, "No dedicated servers found."

Chooly posted it elsewhere but I think it deserves to be here
This adds a server browser button to the main menu.
