Left 4 Dead 2 Split-Screen MainMenu Mod (Left 4 Dead 2)

Please Try NOT to use any other mainmenu or ingame menu addon with this addon. It may cause problems 
Here is the new Mainmenu we created for Left 4 Dead 2. We wanted to simplify split-screen so more people could play and also add a Developer Console button to the Mainmenu.

I know splitscreen survival is possible through the menu, and splitscreen add-on campaigns are possible through the console...what about splitscreen add-on survival maps? Only the default maps are listed under splitscreen survival in the menu, and when trying to start the map with the console "ss_map <map>" it starts to load but ultimately fails bc it tries to start a campaign game on a survival map and it crashes. I mean if you can launch a local splitscreen add-on campaign or a local splitscreen survival game, there HAS to be a way to get a survival game with an add-on map to work right? (we are trying to play the Helm's Deep survival map together if you're curious) I feel like it's one console command away but I can't find anything online to help me out. Perhaps there's a way I could add the custom map to the mod's menu with the other survival maps? I've tried starting it on a local server as I would to play alone and then using the command "connect_splitscreen localhost 2" as you would with an add-on campaign and it just takes me straight to the main menu. Second, and way less important, in the mod's workshop description they explain how to change player 2's name in the config file. So I edited "name2” in the cfg file but everytime I load up a split screen game player 2's name is back to "unnamed" and it's changed back in the cfg file too, any idea how to fix? Is there another file I need to edit other than 'Steam\SteamApps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\config.cfg'? Maybe a console command I can put in? It doesn't matter too much it would just be nice for my girlfriend to see her name by surprise after being "unnamed" forever lmao I appreciate any help or if someone more tech savvy could look into it and see if they can get it working and letting me know, thanks!

nevermind on part 2 I immediately figured out how to change the name open console type 'name2 <desired name>' enter I feel stupid for asking lmao

If you wanna know how to play on splitscreen with one controller and Keyboard+Mouse just follow this simple tutorial 1.Enter on C:\Games\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg then open the "360controller".cfg with your trusted text editor 2. Delete the "unbindall" line (Usually, the first or second line of the configuration text. 3. Then just go to the 60 line and where you read "+jlook" put "cmd2" it will end up on something like this <<cmd2 +jlook // enable joystick look>> 4. You're done with it, make sure that the controller you're using is on the second place of the controller pad, if not, then all of this will NOT fix the problem with aiming and else, (A pro tip: You can put the Xbox 360 controller onto second player while a loading screen, just disconnect and then connect again.)

Gread mod! Working well! If you had a problem with aiming with the second controller, go into: left4dead2\cfg\360controller.cfg In line 60 had cmd2 before the +jlook

Pros

-A Excellent, quickly and easy way to play two players in splitscreen this great game -All the modes can be played, Versus, Survival, Campaign -Splitscreen mode, horizontal / vertical

Cons

-CanÂ´t select characters

I have two Xbxo controllers and I can say: Is the Left 4 Dead 2 best mod ever, thank you so much SFKTeam - kaotik. Its so strange and sad that Valve donÂ´t add a Splitscreen mode for PC, with this mod i have so many hours of fun with my brother and friends, I beg you, plase make something that can play the campaigns addons in split screen, i want to play Kokiri Forest and DeathCraft in splitscreen and I canÂ´t, thank you so much for the mod, greetings from Uruguay.

Pros

-developer console button -fix audio cache button -no longer have to type in 50 million commands -support for changing splitscreen mode

Cons

-no addon campaign support -no character selection -missing easy difficulty

overall, this makes everything MUCH easier, but i still have to type in character changing commands for player 2, and i have to use console if I want to play custom campaigns. and I would also suggest having a option for changing player 2's name.

Pros

-Actually works -A 360 exclusive now on PC -Brings up the list of campaigns instantly -Useful buttons for new gamers who don't know them -Versus Support -Really needed a fix audio cache button -Automatically becomes bot after certain time afk -Split screen support for vertical/horizontal users -CFG with automatic configs for controllers -Support of many mods for split screen -Includes difficulty settings, but missing easy setting. -All modes now supported.

Cons

-Menu options for player 2? (-0.2) -No support for two keyboards (-0)

useful for new players who want to play with offline buddy's and i like the fact that the game runs smoother split screen than the 360 version. Some features are missing that might upset some players, but mostly player two. A custom name changer could fix that issue. Second player however is left without a lot of single player features. Hopefully more fixes for this mod will come to light.
