Attano / Equilibrium

#Equilibrium Equilibrium is a competitive configuration for Left 4 Dead 2 which was initiated as a major revolutionary step after Confogl Fresh. Its intention is to provide competitive yet challenging play, where play-facilitating mechanics which existed in Confogl Fresh(and still exist in Pro Mod) are no longer present. Thus there is a greater requirement to use better input and tactical thought in order to succeed in EQ, reinforcing the viewpoint that teams and players should be tested thoroughly in their skill and teamwork, and made to earn their points and victories in a truly 'competitive' sense.

####October 14, 2013

EQ #2 CUP - WEEK 2 FINAL RELEASE

• Added EQ Retro 2.0 config
• Left4Downtown2 updated with new stuff (v0.5.7)
• Brought back the manageable Addons Disabler. Casters can stream with HUDs once again. Added the corresponding plugin into the config (L4DT2 v0.5.7 is a dependency)
• Removed hunter deadstops once and for all (L4DT2 v0.5.7 is a dependency)
• Updated the Scoremod. Now it shows HB/DB separately. Plus added a new command: !mapinfo
• Restored the old Bot Pop Stop. The new one was causing issues.

####October 6, 2013

EQ #2 CUP - WEEK 1 FINAL RELEASE

• Updated all Customogl files
• Added a fix for the Warcelona Survivor death issue
• Removed static shotgun spread (has some critical issues atm)
• Updated the Tank slowdown modifier

####October 3, 2013

NOTE: Warcelona campaign issues fixes and Global Boss Coordinates Equalizer are still work in progress. Check later for updates. NOTE: 3v3 and 2v2 configs are still being worked on. Please do not install them, for now.

• Fixed identation issues in all files
• Added missing l4d2_spitter_manager
• Added static shotgun spread into the config, with its files and the updated Left4Downtown2 extension. It is NOT the same as the one in Jahze's repo, so update it! It is required for water slowdown and stagger fix plugins.

Shotgun type	Pellets	Damage	Scatter
Chrome	15	17	3.0
Pump*	17	15	3.5
Pump shotgun is less accurate than chrome

• Slowdown Control plugin has been revised. Now it's using EQ2.0's custom Left4Downtown2 extension as a dependency to handle water slowdown for the Survivors and the Tank. Confogl's own slowdown is turned off, since the new function is much less consuming on higher tickrates.
• Added a plugin to remove friendly charger staggers. No more ruined caps!
• Added a plugin to remove hunter deadstops. Ground hunters can still be shoved though.
• Improved the Tank Lottery algorithm. Now substitutes will be placed at the back of the tank lottery queue. This way, players that have joined the game earlier will remain 100% eligible for becoming a tank.
• All finales now have only two event tanks. Distance-based tanks, as well as those that accompany the rescue vehicles, will be blocked.
• Added an improved Bot Pop Stop plugin. It relies on the latest Left4Downtown2 extension. Instead of taking the pills away from bots, it blocks them from using them altogether.
• Revised, fixed and improved the EQ2 Scoremod system.

####September 13, 2013

Bringing stuff up to speed(main 4v4 cfg only - for now)

• Added the Drop Secondary plugin. Dead Survivors drop their melee weapons.
• Added the Tank Pain Fade plugin. Red screen fades for Tanks getting melee owned from behind.
• Added the Undo Survivor Friendly-Fire plugin. Removed a ton of unrelated stuff, still looks like a mess. But works.

• Replaced Scoremod with EQ2.0 Scoremod. Details on the forums.

Stripper
