This is my 1st plugin, so be gentle.

Since there are a ton of people getting really good at L4D, I wanted to make it much more difficult and much more chaotic. My code is based off of Yossarian's Survive A Witch Plugin for Survival Mode . In fact, it's basically his code, without the function that wraps around the game mode required to be "Survival".

Requirements:
-MetaMod 1.7.1
-SourceMod 1.2.1

Notes:
-This plugin uses "z_spawn" to spawn the witch
*EDIT*
-This plugin will spawn a witch every time a tank is spawned
-The witch will/should spawn where the tank was spawned

Installation:
-Upload the plugin to: /addons/sourcemod/plugins

*EDIT*(7/18/2009) Updated plugin information

Wait, witch and tank? Ouch.

It's pretty funny actually. Sometimes, the witch spawns in a really awkward location, somewhere in the path of the survivors. If you want to see it in action, connect to my server: l4d.shadeofyellow.com

any chance spawning a 'disturbed' running witch instead, to attack randomly any survivor?

Update post description fields, and no do included a compiled version when it compiles on the forums.

I looked into it, but I don't quite know how to force a witch to start up in "disturbed" mode. Sorry.

I just use the CVARs on my server to force the witch and tank to spawn each map (cept last and first)

You do it manually? That detracts from the spontaneity of the game. I let the AI Director or the VS Infected Bot plugin handle the zombie spawning.

It works great for those servers that want the maps to be more challenging.

I have the UNREST mod on my server (l4d.shadeofyellow.com) and it spawns two tanks. When the two tanks spawn, at least 1 witch will spawn in a visible location. I still can't figure out how to make sure the witch spawns in a navigable area, but I'll be sure to update the plugin once I do.

How does this affect the "Second Finale Tank" plugin? Will two witches spawn, and are there any glitches in that?

There's a good chance the witch will spawn where the Second Finale Tank spawns. In a good majority of cases, this is what happens. However, due to the flaky nature of L4D and it's FakeClientCommand command, sometimes, the witch doesn't spawn at all.

I might change the code to force the tank's client to spawn the witch as opposed to the way it's doing it right now--by using a random fake client bot. It might actually be more reliable.
