i should clarify it's probably not noticeable unless you play under higher resolutions
i recently got a new 2k monitor, 1440p, so perhaps it pushes more quality
it will show you how limited the game and engine are
it's possible they didn't plan for this back in 2008/2009
it does seem to only be with oxxy's (yours) and certain maps
it's not always consistent, so perhaps it's a combination of things
it could also be caused by poorly optimized maps
it is only with these survivors and not others i use though
i guess i could just try oxxy's 2008, he claimed that was all 1K

Their VGUI won't be changed, I'm sorry but the original VGUI is awful. It's just an screenshot/model viewer image of them with a grey background. Splink's version may not be accurate but it has a hell of a lot more style. I AM NOT AIMING FOR ACCURACY.

And lastly, when will these new versions be released? About the same time GTA VI comes out (that's sarcasm) I don't want to give out a date and not live up to it, I have mod burnout and like always I will eventually become addicted to it again and that's when you'll get them. Making packs like these enhancing textures, optimising them, editing cg's and texture vtfs/vtms is an absolute chore to do. The only reward is the end prize.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk!

Addressing previous requests here:

I WILL remake this using Oxxy's latest releases, mostly because I've used the original survivors myself since they've been available to download.

Regarding texture optimisation this stuff isn't my forte. I think 230MB for 4 models and 4K textures without them being turned into crispy messes is good already. Compare the size of other 4K mods on the workshop, some are larger than mine with just a single texture. I can't do anything about L4D2 being old and 32bit, I just set a goal of making these guys look the best they can (opinion, I'm 100% sure others could do much better.)

The dynamic light stuff I will look into as the attachments had to be changed in their CG files because of Cuba's jiggles. They do HAVE them so not sure what I'd need to do.

i am sure many of us appreciate how nice it is having 2K or 4K
however, this contributes to reaching the limits of the engine or at least the game
left 4 dead 2 is still only a 32 bit application, which means a 3gb ram limit if even that
would you be willing to make an alternate version more optimized to prevent crashes?
might also benefit you as far as at least making sure you have the latest from Oxxy

Oh it's Jabal again

It's because dynamic light needs default attachment points.

"Dynamic light may not appear when you're holding molotov or pipe bomb. It's caused by custom survivor models that lack default attachment points, authors of such models may have removed or renamed attachments that are used by the addon."

Could this be fixed? Mod is perfect for me otherwise.

When I use this mod, Dynamic Light doesn't work at all, which is weird since it works when using Oxxy's 2007 survivors (haven't tried the other versions). I really love how these look so would love to be able to use it with dynamic light, anyone know a fix or the reason why this happens?

can you use the original vgui and use this https://valvearchive.com/archive/Left%204%20Dead/Left%204%20Dead/Renders/HUD_HLMV.png for the survivors portraits

No doubt I will end up eventually remaking this with the new survivors, although I'll probably do the 2008 pack with hoodie Louis for that one. No time estimate though.

Are you planning on doing the same thing to the new versions oxxy posted?

Any chance of an alternate version which is the original 2k?

No more R8 for us :(

I love the beta characters it's just that they gave Francis a glow up in the retail version compared to the beta

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

yeah ick in the big 25, you got a problem? huh? HUH?

'Ick' in the big '25

I mean it's good and all but that lightwarp gives me the ick, not dork unt dri'y enough

Just tried to do what you recommended and I couldn't quite do it correctly, as I mention earlier I'm kinda trash when it comes to that stuff, thank you for responding and trying to guide me though!! :)

The jiggle boned attachments are one of the features of the mod, I like them!

If you want the original attachment positions you could use oxxy's models and my textures/vmts if you unpack their vpk and mine and combine them.

The clipping isn't something I can fix unfortunately as I'm not knowledgeable enough to do that.

Also, I noticed some clipping on Zoey and Bill's pistol holsters when using l4d1 pistols, just a heads up

Hello, awesome mod!! I was wondering if it was possible for me to remove the jiggle-boned attachments in the workshop file that the mod provides, sorry if that's a dumb question as I'm not familiar with modding and what not.

somewhere out there are innocent people
who simply want nothing but a good mod
they don't care about accuracy or versions,
they just want it because it looks cool,
so that's what is provided

Most AI restored work goes completely crazy too and I wanted to still obtain the original feel just in a nicer coat of paint

@PeopleLikeStuff,

I'm not bothered about accuracy or looks, I just love the models themselves and want them to look as best as possible (to a limit). I feel like they truly fit into L4D2 (yes 2) now.

if i had to guess, maybe since "Oxxy" already had some high res from some where
further guessing, maybe they did originally have some before
so Holy Panda wanted to go... even... further beyond

No offense but why upscale them to 4k? They weren't particularly low res or anything

IMPROVED 4K UPDATE:

Enjoy! These look even better now!

There's a new update that'll be released later today. I've got my hands on topaz gigapixel AI and done the same, looks even crisper and much more accurate.

Already got the images enhanced just need to sort out and organize - Currently making nice pictures of my old doggo who passed

Keep up with the good work

ZOEY UPDATE:

Fixed broken alpha transparency on her necklace... Less BEYTAH accuracy more PWETTY

4K TEXTURE UPDATE RELEASED:

These came out really well... Hope you enjoy!

Got a special-ish update currently brewing for y'all, all mods will be updated including the separated ones so no worries

No.

>puro pfp.

You are an embarrassment to your family.

🥵🥵🥵

puro pfp... 🤤🤤🤤

@RedWithTheObviouslyLongUsername You're retarded, Theuaredead' wants nothing to do with the community, and if y'all actually stopped believing the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the community, and talked to him yourself. You'd know he's actually a nice guy, but none of you care about that. I find it hilarious that he still lives rent free in the heads of so many.

"I've asked Nerdie on discord if they'd want to upload my fixed version or if I could upload mine separate but not had a response from them yet. They're busy IRL atm"

Just search vanilla-esque on the workshop if you want the original in the meantime

The revolver mod that appears in the screenshots, please?

someone let theuaredead know so he can mald in this comment section

"EA3 2008 LIGHTWARP"

hey mate, got your comment!
happy to help support the beloved precious beta fixers and their fixes

Individual releases done and made into a collection!

Also I've added front-facing pictures for each survivor!

Right okay, well I didn't know it needed a plug-in cuz I saw a weapon textures mod that made it so the vomit overlay was on weapons but thank for telling me I guess I'll just wait for terror strike to come out also great mod :)

Gotcha, ty for your reply. Will be waiting on R8 nonetheless
