Description
Current Mod Version: v1_3 -- Read the Changelog / Update Notes here!
Replaces: P220 & Glock / Single & Dual Pistols

SOUNDS NOT INCLUDED -- I RECOMMEND USING THE FOLLOWING ADD-ON:
L4D1 Pistol Sounds

The following mod replaces the default P220 and Glock combo with a port of the original L4D1 pistols, with an added twist.

This mod aims to fix (or at best improve) the weird way in which the survivors normally hold the pistols while keeping the original animations intact, this is in essence just the L4D1 pistol animations with improved pistol-holding and sped up animations so that they are fully compatible in online lobbies when playing with people who don't have this mod regardless of whether you are the host or a client, that's about it.

To resume the list of changes, this is what this mod has:
  • HD worldmodels, remodeled from the viewmodel by yours truly.
  • Since the viewmodel has had its missing bits remodeled, this means that the hole in the back of the grip has also been properly patched up.
  • Animations have been sped-up to have the same timers as vanilla pistols.
  • Firing sound order has been fixed, not that you can hear the difference if you use the recommended sound add-on but if you were to take the L4D2 pistols or any other two-different pistol combination and put them in this animset then the pistol on the left would fire first, making the sound that plays the correct one.

I tested this mod with a handful of different Survivor mod combinations: vanilla, vanilla with arby26's FP hands, vanilla with Querentin's FP hands and a varied assortment of playermodels with all sorts of hand sizes (this of course includes the playermodels that I normally use) and the overall result was that this mod improved the pistol-holding with 95% of the combinations tested when compared to the original, the couple playermodels that didn't look good have hands that look a bit weird with just about any other weapon anyway. Hopefully this works with your Survivor combination.

If you wish to take any assets from this mod (animations, models) feel free to do so, you do not need to ask for permission, just please give me credit for it. This being said please don't make commissions out of this either, thank you. (If you do borrow content from this add-on I recommend you check this page every now and again, sometimes I come back and push an update if something bugs me post-release).

Please report any bugs you find!

Is there any chance of fixing the dual pistol reload sound? I think even the dual deploy sound doesnt play either, its the single one. I cant seem to fix it myself. I would love to add both the slide forward and back sounds instead of the deploy one...

its still my fav mod on this workshop! edited this cuz it was too long before

Was about to ask the same thing @dingus did, but glad I got an answer

I've done a little digging in both VPKs and it seems, for whatever reason, "Valve's Missing Content Fix Official" includes the pistol reference vtf & vmt files, as well as the world model files for the pistol -- no idea as to why. I'll drop the author a message to find out -- thanks for replying! Please keep on releasing these L4D1 weapon animations, they're all perfect!

I don't believe I've packed any files that would conflict with said add-on.

If you go into your game's addons menu and see that this mod is flagged as conflicting it's most definitely safe to ignore and to run with both mods enabled. This mod does not come packed with anything that replaces default assets (other than the pistol models themselves of course), especially ones like the ones that would be included in an add-on like that.

Is there any particular reason this mod collides with the "Valve's Missing Content Fix Official"? Been using this pistol mod ever since release and it's a shame to run into this issue! Cheers :)

combined with Rayne's pistol sound mod, these are by FAR the greatest L4D1 Colts on this entire workshop! Thanks so much for the effort!
