Useful split-screen commands
Since Split-screen mode in Left 4 Dead 2 isn't officially supported, there are lots of key settings which aren't available immediately
Command | Description | |
---|---|---|
connect_splitscreen localhost 2 | Add the second player to the game | |
map <map-name> mutation# | Play the selected map with mutation number # | |
ss_splitmode [1/2] | Toggle horizontal and vertical screen split | |
setinfo "Max" | Change player 1 name | |
name2 "Tony" | Change player 2 name |
Creating your own CFG
A CFG is a file that contains a list of commands that when run will attempt to execute them all
Open up a text editor such as notepad and type in all the commands you want separating each with a ";" (remove the quotes). When done save the file as filename.cfg in <path-to-game>\left4dead2\cfg
. To run the cfg file, open the console during the game and type in "exec filename.cfg" (remove quotes).
Launch options
- View this Steam Support Article regarding launch options as well as the relevant Valve Developer wiki page for further information and a list of useful Source engine launch options.
