[L4D2] Level-Based RPG Plugin
With fully functioning save, load, and player preset (configuration) features, please be aware
that this plugin requires an active database, somewhere, to communicate with.

}Information about the Plugin
Players earn experience through killing zombies, helping teammates, completing events, etc., which
in turn levels them up.
Survivors have separate leveling for each weapon category:
- Pistols
- smg's
- shotguns
- assault rifles
- sniper rifles
- melee weapons.
On top of this, survivor max damage, total health, movement speed is based on their
Physical level, which earns experience for everything (essentially the cumulation of all other
survivor experiences).
Weapons in their respective categories deal more damage based on their level. The amount of
damage increase is configurable in the config file.
Special Ammo types' effectiveness' are increased based on the weapon they are attached to.
Only one type of special ammo can be attached to each weapon category at a time.
Infected have separate leveling for each infected class:
- Hunter
- Smoker
- Boomer
- Jockey
- Charger
- Spitter
- Tank
Their Infected level represents the cumulation of all of these experiences. As with the physical level, it
determines total health, maximum movement speed, and damage bonus.
In a similar fashion to survivor weapon levels dealing increased damage, Infected class levels unlock abilities
at 4 different intervals, namely the Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 levels of the Special Infected, again, fully
configurable in the config file. However, the level of each individual SI further modifies damage bonus, speed
bonus, and health bonus.
Outside of the Tier 2, 3, and 4 states, there are two abilities that are unlocked at set levels;
- Wall of Fire
- Spawn Anywhere
Wall of Fire Creates a river of flame culminating around the infected player when they die, essentially
a molotov is dropped on your corpse. This feature can be toggled on/off for each of the 7 SI classes when
the player has it unlocked, through the rpg player customization menu.
Spawn Anywhere Allows the Infected player to spawn, even in areas where survivors can visibly see
them. The tank cannot use this ability.
Furthermore, server owners can customize how special infected look, in relation to model colour for each of
the different tier classes. By default, tier colours are as follows:
Tier 2: Blue
Tier 3: Green
Tier 4: Red
When a special infected unlocks a new Tier level, a new ability exclusive to that class is unlocked.
However, on top of these class-specific abilities, teams can purchase numerous team upgrades that last until
the end of the current round, which also add global and class-specific abilities, as well as modify common
infected behaviour.
Miscellaneous Information
The amount of experience players earn for killing other players or bot players is dependent on the difference
in the level of the attacker and defender, in order to penalize players who are much higher than other players
in level than they would be if they attacked players closer to their level.
This feature can also be tweaked or disabled completely in the settings.
The Special Infected Bots Level Up...
And their data is saved to the database. However, this feature can also be disabled in the settings.
Dependency:
This plugin was originally built to require Mr. Zero's Left 4 Loading plugin. It is required, and included.
Version Information
Code:
Version 3.3
-Way too many bugs to list have been patched. Suffice to say, this version is extremely stable.
-Redesigned the experience system.
When the experience requirement is met, experience in that category resets.
Players will therefore see only the experience progress of their current level, which keeps everything clean.
-Added several new abilities and purchases for both the Survivors and the Infected teams.
And it's too many new features to list them (so you'll need to play through it.)
-Cleaned and organized the menus and representation.
Version 3.2
-Fixed a bug that was causing the Tank cooldown period to not kick in when all tanks were defeated.
-Tank selection is given to the player who purchased the Tank, and can only be purchased in Ghost mode.Orignal From: [L4D2] Level-Based RPG, Save/Load/Preset Features! (v.3.3)
