Description
"100 FOLLOWERS SPECIAL MOD. Dear followers, i wanted to say thanks each and everyone of you. 100 followers is a little achievement for me, but it really means a lot. You, good people, encourage me to do more mods, and you believe in what i do, and you follow me on other of my mods and projects. Without you, everything would be pointless. Thank you for sticking with me :) . With that being said, i have a quite revelation for you, it's a mod from 2019 year believe it or not. It's D.A.R., my favorite character from my favorite game Killing Floor 2 in which i sunk 3k+ hours, beginning from 2015 during the Early Access stage. So, it was an honor for me making this mod for Left 4 Dead 2.

And yes, you heard it right. I kept this mod hidden in my workshop for 4 years. And reason is simple, it was so badly made, that i didn't even have an audacity to post it. Moreover, i didn't have much knowledge and modding skills back then. And i thought "I should leave this project for now, and start with something basic, that would get me started into modding scene, and be capable of my current skills and knowledge. And slowly but surely, getting close to my main goal - to port D.A.R. from Killing floor 2 to Left 4 Dead 2 someday." Finally, 4 years later, it's done. As a wise man once said - "Better late than never." But my goal is not fullfied yet. I want to port every possible non-RNG variants of D.A.R., replacing other survivors. So, there is a lot of work to do, so little time i have. But that's going to be another day. Thank you for sticking with me! So, lets get to the mod itself, shall we?"

This mod replaces Nick with D.A.R. in Classic Armor (Standard variant) from Killing Floor 2. Comes with 4096x2048 and 2048x2048 resolution textures, as well as custom emission map for endoskeleton and classic armor i made. I've also taken helmet glowing texture from this addon made by MARK2580 - https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1480248589

"MARK2580: I haven’t been creating player models for a long time. Perhaps someone will express a desire to port this model ... I do not."

Everything else was ported from Killing Floor 2 using UE Viewer by Gildor.

"This D.A.R., or Domestic Assistant Robot, is an upgraded version of the previous D.A.R. model and utilizes the latest in Horzine experimental robotics. Similar units are undergoing tests at various Horzine bases in the hopes of developing the D.A.R. for consumer and security markets, but this D.A.R. is special. This D.A.R. encountered Zeds while stationed at the Horzine Arctic Outpost 12, and its primary programming was overwritten by its Emergency Security Protocols, turning D.A.R. into a robotic killing machine. Unfortunately, D.A.R. shows little concern for human beings except Horzine employees, who it only hates only slightly less than humanity in general. Seeing a new market in military robots, D.A.R. has been transferred to Zed Containment Duty for field testing."

It consists of:
- Model itself;
- First person arms;
- Bill's animations;
- Custom proportions;
- Custom item placements;
- Emissive effect;
- Boomer bile texture;
- Reflections;
- VGUI icons.

The current variant of D.A.R. includes:
- Endoskeleton (Classic Grey);
- Classic Armor (Standard);
- Classic Helmet (Standard).

Known issue - be careful while using custom weapons and items, as some of them can mess up arms rig, and the model itself sometimes.
