Finally, no more env_screenoverlay entity!👏👏👏

Compared to the old version, the images are no longer affected by color correction, and their size has also been greatly reduced.

Settings and information in "left4dead2\ems\lxc\hitmarker\"

Notes:

[olist] [*]If the sound is abnormal after change, type snd_restart in the console to resolve the issue.

[*]Add the following command to "Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/cfg/autoexec.cfg", you can ignore this if you don't need it. If you don't know how to do, please read this guide: Setting up an AutoExec by мяFunreal

When you want to check the markers, then setting hit_marker_debug to <1|2|3|4> to view each hit image.

setinfo hit_marker_debug 0;[/code]

After setting [b]hit_marker_cfg[/b], you can use custom settings when playing on supported servers. The host always load the settings from settings.txt file, you can add the [b]-prefer[/b] option to ignore this rule.
In singleplayer game, using chat command "[i]!hit get[/i]" to retrieve the current settings. The server will automatically read this variable, you can also manually update the settings using the chat command "[i]!hit set[/i]".
This is an example of the default settings:
[code]setinfo hit_marker_cfg 0;
hit_marker_cfg !sets[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1]!dur[1,1,1,1]!cd[0,0,0.3,0.5]!ci[3,3,3,3]!si[3,3,3,3]!surv[0,0,0,0]!snd["hitmarker/hit.mp3","hitmarker/hit_head.mp3","hitmarker/kill.mp3","hitmarker/headshot.mp3"];

[*]Now using hudlayout.res Conflict Resolver Base instead of itempickup.res. I don't delete itempickup.res at this stage, otherwise it would break a lot of things. [spoiler]Since this version use the itempickup.res to load images, it may conflict with other UI mods. Interneted has already explained this in Custom Crosshair Support, so I won't go into details again. >> Check existing patches <<[/spoiler] Please refer to the new solution for hudlayout.res conflicts.

[*]If you has missing texture, download fix texture missing and extract the "hitmarker" folder to the "Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\materials\" directory. Also, you can move the content pack to "addons" directory to fix it.

[*]Based on personal testing, it works in singleplayer and dedicated server, and multiplayer games(thanks tomaz for the testing). Only this mod needs to be installed on the dedicated server, for a local host server, all required items must be installed.

[*]Data is passed through name2, which is one of the only two console variables that can be modified from the server. This variable is only used in split-screen mode, so it should be fine, right?[spoiler]at least let me use setinfo![/spoiler] [/olist]

If you're curious about how the images work, take a look here.
