Please note the name of the plugin has changed from Vicious Tank Spawns to Vicious Infected.

General

This plugin requires Sourcemod 1.5 or higher


Description

This plugin was originally created as Vicious Tank Spawns. It's purpose was to summon a panic event with the Tank and then to summon a Witch after the Tank died. It was slightly upgraded aftewards to include the Boomer and Spitter abilities of Bile Shower and Sticky Goo. Still, there was more that the rest could do so all infected have a special ability. You can edit several values in the plugin.L4D2.ViciousInfected.cfg in the CFG/Sourcemod folder.

Game Dependent Cvars

This game launches a Panic Event with the tank. If a Panic Event has been fired previously the plugin will not launch it's event. If the plugin launches the Panic Event then one that should start afterwards will not launch. There are internal Cvars in the game that control the delay between panic events, they are not part of the plugin and must be changed in your Server.cfg file:

• z_mega_mob_spawn_max_interval
• z_mega_mob_spawn_min_interval

Installation

• Download and copy L4D2 Vicious Infected.smx to Addons/Sourcemod/Plugins folder
• Download and copy L4D2_ViciousInfected.txt to Addons/Sourcemod/Gamedata
• Delete plugin.L4D2.ViciousInfected.cfg from the CFG/Sourcemod folder.

Known Issues

<*>Panic events may occur while a player is still loading and a Tank spawns

[dani1341]

Cool I will test it even if survivors can't survive it Because in my server 4 tanks spawn on same time

[GanjaStar]

great idea for the plugin. another awesome feature you could add, that I have always wanted is this:

CI spawning during the tank. on my server i have the tank set to never loose control, in order to prevent survivor camping out in easy spots. one proble with the infinite tank control is that the CI do not spawn while the tank is active.

Would it be possible that you made the CI spawn normally as they would without the tank being there? just a suggestion.. still a great mod and I am gonna install it.

[thejuice027]

can you add cvar to turn off notification?

[mikhdenis]

I have z_spawn problem,any people can use z_spawn command.
Sorry bad english.

[Skorpion1976]

@mortiegama: Great idea for plugin!

@z_spawn/director... --> You strip off the cheat flag from z_spawn AND director_force... commands, but do not give the cheat flag back after using it !

SetCommandFlags("z_spawn", flags3 & ~FCVAR_CHEAT);
SetCommandFlags("director_force_panic_event", flags4 &  ~FCVAR_CHEAT);

You must add this line after using the spawn/director stuff:

SetCommandFlags("z_spawn", flags3|FCVAR_CHEAT);

same for director...

[Mortiegama]

New version has been released!

@Ganja: Not entirely sure how I would code that one. I would look into pushing that in the plugin that you use to prevent the tank from loosing control.

@Thejuice: I added a notification CVar to the latest version.

@mikhdenis:
@Skorpion:

Skorpion, thanks for the tip on how to fix that. The "z_spawn" flag has been closed so that people can't use it as a cheat.

[Window_ Wind]

Something to add to your known issues, sorry to say. When this plug in is loaded and i do survival on my dedicated server the timer is reset every time a horde spawns with a tank. After removing this plugin it fixed the problem and i don't have any other survival plugins so i think this would be the cause.

[Skorpion1976]

I am not sure how panic events work in l4d2 but in l4d1 90 seconds had to pass before the game could start another panic event. So if >1 tanks spawn within 90 seconds only 1 panic event should start. Perkmod and Multi-tank plugins can spawn more than 1 tank...

thx for the new version. i don't like written announcments to clutter the screen

as for the tank not loosing control. that's not a plugin. its a simple cvar

But, yeah i understand if you can't or wish not to code it. not a biggy, was just a suggestion
