Hi, I got a problem,
I'm using a fork version of your plugin,

I do have this messages sometimes:
[TS] Smokers 0,Boomers 0, Hunters 0, Tanks 0, Spitters 0, Jockeys 0, Chargers 0
[TS] !binfectedfreeplayer and case 1 smoker, min dist 300
CreatePlayerBot: Unable to create bot Smoker Bot - CreateFakeClient() returned NULL.
Spawned an infected bot. Type = 1

I was in Dead Air with 15 players, there were not tanks spawned
I got this log messages:
[TS] Smokers 0,Boomers 0, Hunters 0, Tanks 0, Spitters 0, Jockeys 0, Chargers 0
CreatePlayerBot: Unable to create bot Boomer Bot - CreateFakeClient() returned NULL.
Spawned an infected bot. Type = 2
CreatePlayerBot: Unable to create bot Tank - CreateFakeClient() returned NULL.

Does it is because of my maxplayers settings?

As it says, "CreatePlayerBot: Unable to create bot Boomer Bot - CreateFakeClient() returned NULL."
check if console print error like this

Couldn't find a tank Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a jockey Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a spitter Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a spitter Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a jockey Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a smoker Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a jockey Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a smoker Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a spitter Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a jockey Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a hunter Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a hunter Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a spitter Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a charger Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a smoker Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a boomer Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a boomer Spawn position in 5 tries Couldn't find a smoker Spawn position in 5 tries

I can't do anything about the infected spawn pathfinding, only Valve can handle that.

Oh thank you, yep I was having those messages,
and I fixed those adding more spawn min and finale distance, which I don't really understand now how it's used,
I also noted that maybe it has something to do with the maxplayers because whenever there was 15 players there was an Infected spawning, but when the 16th player entered the game, there were no spawns of SI, I think is my l4dtoolz version,
Thanks again,

I got it, I discovered it using the log
It said also:
Zombie tried to spawn under displacement in nav area 22632, setpos 10025.0 -5633.1 -65.1

So, I have disabled the modifications on the cvars from bots, (I was using the l4d2_competitive_bots_survivor plugin)
and the meshes were fixed, so spawning was enabled for all!!

Thanks again!!

I want to publish my fork
I have added nice features,
SpawnTime in Waves, also for Finales, Multiply SI for Finales, and others

Well, after trying to make a better Infected Bots control with a lot of plugins
I just ended working on VScript
This is what I'm doing:

What do you mean stasis?

Basically, the "ghost mode" for the Tank, like in Versus mode when an AI Tank spawns and is waiting for a player to take control. In Co-op mode, Tanks automatically exit stasis mode as soon as they spawn on the map. Tanks usually only get "stuck" in stasis mode when the server has plugins that allow players to take over special infected in Co-op mode, like this one.

I'm pretty sure I have fixed the ghost tank bug in coop mode in my plugin
