[VScript] Weapon Timer Enforcer

Your weapon mods might be changing the duration of your draw and reload!

Deploys and reloads don't have a set duration, they take their server-sided animation's duration. So on local servers where the hoster uses animation mods.. well in short, it's bad news to players accustomed to the default durations. To that bad news earlier, I propose a solution: Subscribe to my script, because it will enforce the vanilla animation timers' durations on reloads and deploys. Layers? Who told you about that?

So how does it work? To start, there's a file named 'ems/orin/wte_data_default.txt', and inside it is data of the durations and animation sequence IDs for the relevant vanilla timers. That file is read when the script first runs, then cached. The default file can't and shouldn't be edited, instead create a copy of the default file as 'left4dead2/ems/orin/wte_data.txt' then edit your new file. Don't leave out the documentation inside.

I hope my script services you well, have a good one.

Warning!

This script relies on sequence order. In local servers, if your weapon mods act strange after installing my script (having strangely-timed deploys or reloads), then the sequence order is mismatched and you must customise your own 'left4dead2/ems/orin/wte_data.txt' file.

Launch the game with the "-dev" option to enable debug information on weapon sequences. You must also start a session using the "map" console command.
