Kept you waiting, huh? Here's another "beta flashlight beams" mod by yours truly. This time based on E3 variant seen in different presentations and gameplay footages of the time.
Pros: - Beams can light up some dim areas. - Unlike Early 2008 counterpart, won't obscure your view! - Longer flashlight beam that helps you see where exactly your teammates are aiming.
Cons: - Invisible in complete darkness due to $mod2x shader (pretty sure that's how it was in E3). - FP flashlight beam scaled back to being a simple texture (just how it is in retail). - Valve's beta.
Notes: - Intensity might differ depending on the campaign/map settings. - Works only in Local Server, because I have no idea how to force "r_flashlight_3rd_person_range" cvar otherwise (it will still work in non-local server but the beam itself will be as short as it was in original). - Could also work in L4D1.
You can get gamemodes.txt version (so the mod works for every client in the lobby at the cost of being less compatible with other mods that edit gamemodes.txt) here!

That's all I've got to say, have fun.
