Very neat.

Gonna have a look.

[HarryPotter]

wow, more funs

[Edison1318]

You could also try to apply special infected's first person arms into the special infected model you apply on so it'll kinda match the playermodel well on versus or if spectator spectates SIs on first person.

[TrevorSoldier]

suggestion: add the charger jockey and spitter so they can randomize on custom maps that have custom models for those infected

[TrevorSoldier]

i have addons that patch over custom campaigns and they add custom models for the jockey charger and spitter

here are some examples

[Mr. Man]

Hey, not sure if this is related to your plugin but I am getting the following crash related to the boomette model from this crash report: https://crash.limetech.org/5aay6ngsqtbm

10/ - player: UTIL_SetModel: not precached: models/infected/limbs/exploded_boomette.mdl

Let me know.

[Toranks]

What is the difference or interaction between l4d2_random_si_model_charger_chance and l4d2_random_si_model_custom_chance. Same question to jockey and spitter which only has one variant.
For example, if I set l4d2_random_si_model_charger_chance to 50 and l4d2_random_si_model_custom_chance 50 on a map with custom Charger, what is the chance to obtain L4D2 original Charger and custom map Charger? 25-75% or 50%? If I set to 0 one of the two but not the other, what happens?

[Marttt]

The plugin checks first if is an unknown model (not vanilla) to roll the l4d2_random_si_model_custom_chance, then later rolls a check based on the SI class chance.

I recommend using the default configs for these SI.

I remember testing it in TrevorSoldier example and was working.

Jockey, Charger, and Spitter were added just to be ready to support future "new skins" if Valve or TLS team implements it someday.

So since there is no "additional model" for them, just set it to 100% and let the custom model chance roll.

Thanks, that info is enough to understand it. However, I have been using this plugin since you updated it to take advantage of the unique models of custom campaigns, localhost server, alone or online with friends, and work perfectly so far to all players, getting up to 4 different random models on the same map. It also works with Charger, Spitter and Jockey, but I wasn't getting the percentages right if I used something other than 100, so I'll keep using 100 and set the custom model value by changing the default 50 to whatever I want.
