Pro Mod 5.0This update represents the end of an era for Pro Mod. As many of you know, I've been becoming less and less involved in the development of Pro Mod over the last year and a half. This has always been a passion project for me and it feels wrong to disgrace it with the quality of updates I have put out in the recent past. I take full blame for that, because ultimately it is my responsibility to make sure everything works before releasing. I've officially deprecated the 4.5 version of Pro Mod, and encourage any server admins who have it installed to remove it from their servers. I have included the working features from 4.5 and fixed the 4.4.2 bugs in this release.
I have 3 more "big" features that I want to include in the config before I walk away. I intend to contest Visor's claim that the charger chestbump fix will be the last "big" change the community will see. I will be releasing updates when I finish each of those changes, alongside some very minor changes as deemed necessary. Each of those updates will only contain 5-10 changes total. After those features are implemented and the config is stable, I will be officially stepping down. I will be including documentation I wrote on how to create and manage a config with one of the next updates in case someone wants to make a spin off config, or create something brand new. I will also be publishing every single piece of source code I have for this game to make sure nothing is "lost in time" like other plugins have been over the years.
Let me know if you run into any issues with this version, I've tested everything to the best of my ability but as L4D is a Valve game there is always the possibility something goes wrong! Also consider this one of your last opportunities to request new features / report bugs.
