Anyone else getting hunter arms spawning in, instead of the melee weapons? It used to work fine, but now when I spawn a Katana for example on the first map of the Parish - it puts hunter arms instead.

Knife is using strange animations O.o is it working like that in german edition?

**Silvers** · 03-27-2015 , 11:39 Re: [L4D2] Melee Weapon Spawner (1.1.1) [18-Aug-2013]

This plugin is still spawning the knife for me, when used in conjunction with my Knife Unlock plugin.

Would it be possible to integrate custom melee weapons?

EDIT: I was able to do it myself.

I'm getting Hunter arms for most of the melee weapons, including the stock ones. I got some of the custom ones to work though lol

EDIT: My bad. It only happens when the melee weapon is not available for the campaign.

Updated under Sourcemod 1.8.x.

This version includes 105 custom melee weapons that are in a pack which can be obtained here.

Details about the custom melee weapons can be read about here.

Bugs:

- If you spawn a melee weapon that isn't meant to spawn in a campaign, you will get Hunter arms instead.

Installation:

- Just place the l4d2_melee_spawn.smx file into your addons/sourcemod/plugins folder and you'll be good to go. No need for the extension linked in the original post above.

Hi Silvers, thanks for updating your plugin!

I noticed a bug. Sometimes it spawns the wrong melee after you save and reload the map, I'd say 10% of them.

It is too much work to save each spawn point for eachmap, I tried to edit the data.cfg and insert some new melees only changing position a little bit but it was hard to understand to do manually. Do you have saved on your file some saferoom's positions to share?
