How to Implement RPG Perk Systems in L4D2

​

Survival Progression

RPG systems (such as Points Reloaded or PRPG) transform the standard L4D2 experience into a progression-based game. Players earn Experience Points (XP) for killing Special Infected and completing campaigns, which can then be spent on “Perks” like increased clip size, faster reload speeds, or unique health regeneration.

​

1. Installation

1. Select your desired RPG plugin (Points Reloaded is the most stable modern choice).
2. Upload the .smx file to /addons/sourcemod/plugins/.
3. Restart the server once to generate the configuration files.

​

2. Database Integration (Critical)

1. Create a MySQL Database in your GamePanel Database Tab.
2. Edit: /addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg
3. Add a block for your RPG plugin (e.g., named “prpg”):
   Copy

   "prpg"
   {
       "driver"    "mysql"
       "host"      "ENDPOINT_IP"
       "database"  "DATABASE_NAME"
       "user"      "USERNAME"
       "pass"      "PASSWORD"
   }
