Hi all,

i did a serach on the forum but couldn't find anything useful...

i noticed that when u look for servers... there is something called fiiendlyfire_scale in the server settings... but when i tired to look for it in the host game menu... i dont' seem to be able to find these options even in sandbox configurations... any idea where i can find it?

it seems most of hte servers are set on 0... which is kinda boring... i enjoy team work with FF on... making it more exciting =D

thanks~

That is a bit of a disappointment at first, i was doing my best to avoid shooting friendlies (obviously a big part of co-op too), but occasionally i hit someone and nothing happens.
One part relieved, another part went wtf. A FF option would definitely be appreciated.

I think its better off, one thing i hated about l4d on expert was FF...imagine having FF on in a long game. Its wave 10/10, huge horde...1 bad 'nade toss that lands close to most teammates. Doesnt end well, bscly.

oh i managed to change the friendly fire scale thing...

but i got a new question...

when i set FriendlyFireScale=50.000000, it means 50 percent right? or am i supposed to do "00.5000000"

well thing is most players have 0 clue how to play KF there is like 2 options oh well the 1 one that few those that i do is running around in circles kiting all the spicimen.

works on almost all maps especially on KF-farm they really should add some kind of specimen that runs really fast so you cannot run outdoors.

and fix the hit/rate on the melee ones becuse you can dodge the hits to easy.

i think a FF with 25% is a good thing! It is not to high that everybody die with a few shots but it is high enough to watch what you shoot.

without FF off it is a "shooting around" without brain ;)

But both servers should exist!

Fast gameplay and Hack&Slay = FF off

watch your fire and think what you do = FF on


just my 2 cent

lol.. thx i eventually found out after i set it at 50...

i told someone to use a pistol to shoot at my foot.... i got KO-ed...

i figured... that must've been 5000% percent friendly fire... :p

FF is good, but this kind of things always happen:

the merchant closes, the game starts, and an asshole kills 2 friendlies and leaves, destroying the game for the rest

it's funny how i turned on FF 15% and i even put it on my server name... and the Message Of The Day... but ppl just close it...

then after they get FF-ed... they go omg there is FF? FF is stupid... it's not like we're plying L4D...

i fail to see how L4D is the only game that needs FF in the whole world... :rolleyes:

Mirrored Friendly Fire could work, but just plain FF is a horror.

Mirror'd friendly fire is even more annoying than no friendly fire. It always breaks immersion for me when it becomes apparent that shooting my team-mates has no effect - not that I'm trying to kill them, but it takes away the some of the tactical element of positioning. Although I can understand on a public server you might want mirroring to punish people you believe are deliberately attacking their team-mates, when you're playing with people you trust aren't going to be arseholes and try to TK, it would quickly get frustrating if you're the person who gets punished when someone else is foolish or unlucky enough to try and jump on your grenades or into your flamethrower or whatever.

Friendly fire for the win. Anything else is just eyes shut blast blast blast with no thought.

Am I the only one who just plays Hard or Suicidal to get my absurd level of challenge?

I'd rage pretty badly if FF was on in Hard or especially Suicidal. Nades are required just to clear a path forward, and its hard enough not nading yourself with the amount of specs that swarm.
