The plugin will try to balance the infected limit and interval spawn of the special infected, depending on the number of survivor players in the game.
This is accomplished by editing the Director Scripts through one of these 3 methods
Changing only the variables Base DirectorOptions table(*).
Changing the variables Script Scope Director Script(*).
Changing the variables Director Script by forward(*).
// 0: Edit only director, 1: Override director and vscripts, 2: Override forward director scripts(require left4dhooks)
// -
// Default: "0"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
// Maximum: "2.000000"
balancer_spawn_mode "0"
// 0: Check all players survivor, 1: Not check survivor bots, 2: Not check survivors dead, 3: Select all Not check modes
// -
// Default: "2"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
// Maximum: "3.000000"
balancer_spawn_check "2"
// Set survivor players base config

// -
// Default: "45.0"
// Minimum: "-1.000000"
balancer_spawn_interval_si_base "45.0"
// Set interval to decrease for each 1 player less than players base config, 0:Disable interval decrement
// -
// Default: "0.0"
balancer_spawn_interval_si_dec "0.0"
// Set interval to increase for each 1 player more than players base config, 0:Disable interval increment
// -
// Default: "-5.0"

Reason: v1.1
you must set that cvar to "2" (default value) balancer_spawn_check "2" 0 = checking any survivors
1 = checking only human survivors
2 = checking only alive survivors
3 = 1 and 2
i'm sorry for my bad explanation of cvars, I still have mediocre English :c

Edit: It seems like after the first campaign specials are no longer spawning ?
Can you give me more details about this, this happened,you mean what happens after the 1st map of each campaign?
Thanks for the reply, seems like when i start a campaign, the 2nd level sometimes spawns specials and sometimes no specials spawn at all, not sure if i have anything setup wrong.
seems like when i start a campaign, the 2nd level sometimes spawns specials and sometimes no specials spawn at all, not sure if i have anything setup wrong.
I'm not sure why that happens, but I think it's because some maps already have their own default spawn limits seated with their vscript file.
you'll try set this cvar: balancer_spawn_mode to "1" or "2"
I've tried to mess around with the "balancer_spawn_mode" cvar but still seems like specials are not spawning.
Its very strange sometimes a few would spawn then sometimes none at all
I do have 8 players in the game, but im guessing this plugin is for a 8 player coop, idk why its not working for me
Edit: I also did try to install Left4Hooks and set the cvar to 2 but still no specials
If it helps at all what does work for me is a plugin called "ABM" using the "abm_autohard" spawns specials just fine but i wanted it to spawn specials based on current alive survivors
Linear Mode
