A question though. sm_mutantsrefresh requires me to edit the l4d2_mutants.cfg, save it and exec the command.
But is it possible to have multiple l4d2_mutants.cfg in surcemod\data and exec them quickly in-game when needed? Like from admin menu, exec cfg.

Just imagine walking into the graveyard in the Parish and having most of the zombies as Ghosts. Or in the Carnival, the coaster - Teslas that can push you off a lane.
Could maybe do this but why not just add the map name and "types" options like the example in first post. That way different maps can have different types.

- I'll add the weapon drop at some point.
- Ghost zombies - I forgot to make them invincible to bullets, it was one of the ideas.
- Thief I talked about with some, I just thought of a possible thing with this. Might add.

Bruiser : when it hits u, u get the "hit by explosion animation" like being too close to a exploding barrel or charger slams into a wall very near to u. it is a little same to tesla but the bruiser makes u flinch, u cant do anything while being hit, creates valuable opportunites for SI.

Supersonic : moves very fast. 1.5 of normal spd?

Iceman : i forgot which mod i took the idea from, either yr tank mod or machine's tank mod. reduced movement spd when hit.

Darkness : took idea from ztar last boss mod, when hit HUD turns black.

Death crier : chance to trigger mob when hits u

Doomsayer : idea from panxiaohai meteor mod. when zombie die, trigger meteor (tank's rock) from the sky.
- Can't make zombies faster short of teleporting them (would look bad).
- I don't have a tank mod...
- HUD turns black - maybe.
- Death Crier - Maybe something the "mimic" type should do if added.

And then you want Zombies which drop/throw flares, carry flamethrowers and do what every other plugin out there does. No too long, too much.
