[L4D2] Balancer Spawn Infected

xZk · **Author**

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(*).

This plugin is inspired by [L4D, L4D2] Common Infected Regulator and [L4D2] Director Settings Loader

Notes:

Rant:

-put l4d2_balancer_spawn_infectedlimit.cfg in "/addons/sourcemod/data/" folder if this file is not autocreated.
-the configs "TankLimit" and "WitchLimit" only allows more tanks and witches to spawn simultaneously, it will not spawn these.
-if config key "base" is set to "-1" or is commented, all settings for your class will be disabled.
