[L4D] Simple Mob Controller (1.4) - Page 2

How do I check the cvar for one I haven't set myself? Wht file will I find these cvar's listed by default?

TYPE IN CONSOLE z_mega_mob_size, and you will see its value. The same goes for other cvars. If cvar is protected you will need to use "sm_cvar cvar-name".

z_mega_mob_size = 50
z_mob_spawn_max_size = 30
z_mob_spawn_finale_size = 20

If I did your math correct in the first post, with the zombiestoadd cvar set to 2 with 4 survivors, that should only be a total of 58, but the hordes are MUCH larger than that.

Umm,i have no idea, i will test some finale missions with it, but honestly i didnt messed with finale. This plugin only dinamically changes 3 cvars based on survivors count, i have no idea how it can affect finale or anything else.

I appreciate it. Let me know if you would like me to test anything on my server. I'm more than happy to help out in any way I can.

If the finales are jacked up for you too, just disabling the plugin on the finales would be fine. If you have any info on how I can set the plugin differently for each level, please pass it along.

Ok i tested it with bots (will test with living players today in evening) and all seems to be fine. Mob sizes still usual (more than default sizes ofc). Also consider that:
1: l4d_mobcontrol_zombiestoadd value will change to value stated in plugin's config EVERY map change. So if you changed it to 2 from console on 4th map, you will still get default value of 8 (or whatever is in plugin's config) on 5th map.

2: I think you already know that to change some variables in-game you need to use sm_cvar "cvar-name" (including this plugin's cvars).
3: You cant count how much mobs you have on the screen during horde attack (at least unless you pause server). It can be somehow deceiving. When i saw a megamob with 60 zombies (z_mega_mob_size was 60) i thought "OMG how many zombies", then i set it to 100, and 60 zombies seemed totally harmless, compared to mob of 100 zombies.

How did your test with humans go?

Ok, i played along with 19 ppl yesterday and we managed to finish No Mercy campaign. I set mega_mob value to 20, and extra zombies to 4 per survivor (so it would be 60 at max), mob_max_size to 15 (55 would be max), and mob_min_size to 1 (41 max), considering there is 10 max survivors.

I didnt found anything unusual. Both teams were equally crappy though, so only few ppl from one team could get to helicopter, but tank also got inside (lolz) so noone escaped. I will add enable/disable cvar soon.

New version available with new fature. I cant test it right now, but i think it should work fine. I will remove old one, when i confirm that new one doesnt have any bugs.

Ok, found mistake in code. Fixed now.

Ok i was wrong, versus modifier still applies. Didnt noticed it applies after tank spawned though.

Found major mistake with enbale cvar. Will fix in an hour. FIXED

Edit: It does not appear to work.
