Description
You want to change something in the game like increasing/decreasing the number of infected or you want to be able to crawl when you are incapped?
You want to increase the melee range and actually hit someone when you swing your axe or you want to jump high with lower gravity?

Modding system
This addon allows you to define different "variations" (mods) of the normal gameplay and switch to any of them whenever you want with a simple chat command.
It's like making your own mutations but without the need to know how to make mutations and, unlike the real mutations, it doesn't create it's own game mode, it mods the existing game modes. So you can mod the normal coop, survival, versus and the other base game modes and even the existing mutations.
All you have to do is create a text file with all the CVAR changes you want to make, then type:
!l4f settings mod yourmodname
Done. From now on, whenever you host a game, the mod will be automatically loaded.
You can switch to another mod whenever you want with the same command or you can go back to vanilla with:
!l4f settings mod none
The game CVARS you can change can be found HERE.

The addon also has its own "extra" CVARS you can add to your mod text file. These extra CVARS (you can find HERE) add new functionalities, like auto revive/respawn, buy system with money pickups, double jump, zombie drops, and lots more.

More details on how to make your L4F mods can be found HERE.
You can even try the sample mods i already made. You can find them HERE.
You can play them but you can also open the addon's .VPK file with GCFScape, see how they are made and modify them.


Bug fixes and QoL improvements
L4F also fixes a few game bugs and adds some "Quality of Life" improvements, like:
  • When you start reloading your weapon, the previous bullets aren't removed until the reload animation is finished. This means that if the reload is interrupted, you aren't left with 0 bullets in your weapon.
  • You don't automatically drop your M60 when it's empty.
  • Survivors who join/leave the game during the escape sequence of a campaign are no longer reported as DEAD in the credit screen. And more.


Admin commands
The addon comes with its own admin commands (kick, ban, spawn things, fun commands and many other commands you can find HERE).
But it's also 100% compatible with Admin System.

Left 4 Fun shares the same admins file with all my other addons, so a Left 4 Fun admin is also admin on Left 4 Bots and Left 4 Grief.


How to install
  1. Subscribe
  2. Subscribe to Left 4 Lib
  3. Done
For dedicated servers simply upload the .vpk files into the server's "Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/addons" directory.


How to add admins
This addon uses the "Left 4 Lib" centralized user system. Refer to the Left 4 Lib addon page to see how to add/remove admins/friends/griefers.


Addon settings
The list of L4F settings can be found HERE[gist.github.com].

You can change the settings by editing the file 'ems/left4fun/cfg/host_settings.txt' or directly ingame with the following commands:
  • Via chat: !l4f settings [setting] [value]
  • Via console: scripted_user_func l4f,settings,[setting],[value]


Compatibility
This addon is 100% compatible with my other addons Left 4 Bots and Left 4 Grief.
It should also be compatible with most of the addons of the workshop.


Useful links

More info can be found on the L4F GitHub Repository[github.com].

hi i manage to enable the zombiedrops....

but the problem is when i reached an hour in survival mode, its caused an overflowing and the game crashed ....

so i decided to minimize the drops by editing the "host_zombiedrops_def.txt"... but it wont make any difference even editing the txt file from "ems/left4fun/zombiedrops" it still in the default drops...

not working in 2025

That crash wasn't due to this mod. It crashed only on Vine Falls and most likely due to another mod.

I guess sv_disable_glow_ commands don't work when changed through L4F mods?
Ajiliffe 23 Sep, 2024 @ 3:02am 
which command disables incapped crawling? Or make the bots able to crawl (with your left 4 bots 2 addon), either that or that
