While my mod was never intended to handle more than one custom survivor. I too have recently taken notice of some unconventional vscript mods using more advance and flexible methods to identify non-standard survivor teams. Though I’ve been too preoccupied to rack my brain around it and actually workshop the idea. However, I do agree that a potential rework integrating the innovative framework (if suitable ) would be a massive boon ; not just for this mod but a standardized practice for all survivor mods going forward. As for whether I’ll eventually get off my lazy butt and do so one day… well that’s another question. Regardless, thanks for bringing the mod to my attention Shadowysn , your expertise is always appreciated.

A small group of people have started to use more than one entirely custom survivor via Custom Survivor Takeover.

But I do feel this mod can be reworked to use the more advanced option of storing info for every survivor individually instead of specific character models.

I can confirm this mod is still working just fine. Please be sure to check the 'Potentially Conflicting Mods' section of the workshop's description and ensure there are no incompatibilities with your installed addons (here's a handy link) . You should also verify if the mod's configuration file created in your [left4dead2\ems\revised_revival\config.cfg] indeed exists , and has the correct features enabled .

If you're still struggling to get the mod working and have the patience for it: I'm happy to personally lend a hand in helping you out. Simply send me a friend request and we'll privately troubleshoot the issue.

this mod didnt work right now only the chat notification work

Alrighty, thanks for the quick reply. I'm gonna see if adding a mod that interrupts healing and defibrillating, with no compatibility issues, exists.

No , the mod’s stagger mechanic exclusively applies only to revival attempts. Both healing and defibrillating have been left unaltered, so hits taken will not interrupt/reset either action. Hope this helps!

does this work with defibs too? does damage from say commons interrupt your defib?

I'm still going to mostly pass making in-depth explanation videos as they eat into time and effort and I'd rather just skimp out of making the video than burn-out and bury the script entirely just because the video can't be completed, speaking from a less content-creative mind.

Also, how the hell would I even start with an explanation video for something like VScript Survivor Manager.

This amount of love and care for any project, mod or not, is outstanding. Your description for this mod both in video form and on the workshop should also be the new standard for mods, scripts or not, as tthere are great modders with amazing ideas that unfortunately miss the mark on their explanations. Their burnout for repeat explanations for repeat questions is totally understandable but your patience to thoroughly explain your mod from start to finish cant be appreciated enough. Amazing craftsmanship with this man, really good stuff

This mod works great with that mod that decreases your max health by 10 for every time you go down, regardless if you use a medkit or not. Med kit's can't and shouldn't fix everything.

mate i have no idea what compelled you to go this extra with a mod, but i would like to thank you very very much for doing so. reading the code on this feels like i can actually follow along your thought process as well as gain a better understanding of vscript other than just slogging through the VDC for manuals that give me more questions than answers. seriously, you are probably my favorite modder for this alone. thank you

This is like a thesis or some shit.

might not use this due to a lot of reworks need a long-term learning, especially when you haven't considered the Idle Revive exploit (which when idle, reviving a teammate don't reset even how much CI hits)

but I dig your demo video, I binge to ts

Yo sry about that campaign game ending abruptly i tried fixing my games audio and crashed the game.

6 hours!

you are the coolest mod creator I have ever seen on l4d2 man. I have never seen anyone more passionate than you.

brother did a whole documentary demonstrating his mod

noice

*claims not a difficulty mod* *looks inside* difficulty mod.

This mod is one of the most noob friendly i've seen!

They sure can , that hasn't been tampered with in any way.

question, can bots revive me?

Sorry to disappoint but I'm afraid it’s just a closing goof , nothing more. Though you should know there is a Taking Explosion Damage from boomer addon already on the workshop, in case you weren't already aware.

Question, is the post-credit scene's Boomer explosion mod WIP teaser real or are you just bullshitting us, cuz i'm actually kinda interested...

Ah! I'll add a disclaimer immediately to the Workshop's Description (Relocated Sections) , thanks for the heads up . While I can't test this myself , I'm sure many Windows 11 users will appreciate your warning.

A heads up, you might want to add to either the description or the relocated description discussion that Windows 11 Notepad fucks up with ems files due to a NUL symbol at the end and instead tries to read and save it all as untranslatable chinese which does not work. Some people are unaware of this and may ask why it's in chinese.

Of course! Simply disable the 'enable_chat_notifications' setting in the mod's config.txt file. If you’re unsure, refer to the 'How do I enable/disable these features?' section in the above text description. If you need a visual demonstration, you can instead refer to the video's 'Configuring the Mod's Settings Tutorial' at 0:47:48 .

is there a way to remove the message every time you revive someone?

Damn this mod I need, I'm ready to kiss you for this mod.

da feature length film for da 1 if statement

the reason why a "grabbing the hand" isn´t posible is due to the position of the downed survivor and the helping survivor, imagine you reviving a survivor if you are on the head side, and since it can cause models clipping (more specifically the hands) and the mayority of l4d players mod to dead the game, it can also cause inacurate reviving animations, thats why valve chose the retail animations rather that the grabing the hand animations

it would be cool to make a mod where the revive time is significantly reduced as you're being revived with a brand new revive animation on the helper simply grabbing the downed teammates hand and then pulling them back up. Not sure why this hasn't been made yet but it should be a thing FOR REAL!

thank you so much! i am very excited to hear this <3
also
grobert_ it's in the description/video

Oh my, that would've been a really good idea! To have the mod read from a customizable text file, rather than hard coding them in like I did. Ahh, that was foolish of me... I'd have to rewrite that entire section of code from scratch again to facilitate such a feature too.

I can't promise when or if such an update will come to pass, but I absolutely agree with your suggestion; I only wish I thought of it myself sooner thank you!

I like this, but i want to add my own flavour text, in the mod left 4 bots (1 and 2) their flavour text is customizable with the EMS file
would you be willing to do the same?

also yes, i can edit the .nut, but i tried that and holy shit that is a lot of lines, when most of them are duplicates, LMAO

*i replace all survivors with ellises to break the mod*
This warning can't stop me 'cause I'm bored!

An INSANE amount of effort was clearly made here, unfortunately I believe that the vast majority of the casual audience will not bother installing this since most people don't like to install "nerf a mechanic" addons.

Maybe it would appeal more if the maximum threshold was 60 health or more?

the effort on the video showcase is beyond absurd, that must've taken weeks just on editing alone lol

as for the mod, i dig it, i think revived health depending on the remaining bleedout timer is cool, alongside the nice flavor text, i'm not a fan of getting staggered while reviving though, imo getting pummeled and losing health is punishment enough (i'd even go as far and saying that revivals should be never cancelable from just damage, like when a common hits a downed player), but the stagger is customizable anyway so it's all good! really nice work all around

mucho texto.

seems like alot of fun but i think itll be hard to convince my friends to use it like all of the other 'challenge' vscript mods

this motherfunker made a whole movie for the mod

This is the best creation since sliced bread

Seems to over compilate a simple and easy to understand mechanic for no real reason. Maybe as a mod for "pros" I can see this being used.

no entiendo tu vaina amiguito

This is so interesting.
I'm going to try it out.

Also, very nice edited video!

Due to steam's character limit I've posted my findings concerning your idea , over in the discussions page . Here is a helpful link , thanks for the input.

IMHO, this mechanics possibly make game unplayable. But I have an idea: script which allows to revive incapped teammates to those survivors only, who's carrying adrenaline (tribute to tomaz), or if incapped survivor himself has adrenaline in his inventory (then autorevive acts - tribute to Geebanger0). And reviving acts immediately (short revive duration). What do you think?

He lives in 2012, someone, can get me there as well?

No more team mechanics in the team based game please

unrelated but i recognize that ratchet and clank 2 music from a mile away. nice taste
