I know it's not too late to thank you for plain explanation. Another question is from your post.

PHP Code:

bind "q" "sm_cheat z_spawn <special> auto" //sourcemod said sm_cheat was unknown command. 


Could I spawn a tank anytime beyond survivor's field of view with AIS plugin?

Thanks for answer.

This "sm_cheat z_spawn <special> auto" command is part of the "New Custom Commands" Plugin and is nothing to do with the Auto Infected Spawner. I have a version here with 2 updated signatures.

Incidentally there are 2 versions of this command:
"sm_cheat z_spawn <special> auto" spawns specials out of sight of players, however its hard to tell if you spawned, the director or the AIS.
"sm_cheat z_spawn <special> area" spawns specials at your cursor, much more fun to use like spawning a boomer behind your friends back or right in there face.

I found there was a weird bug in current AIS plugin. (Sep 15th, 2014)

Currently newest version will stop spawning the special infected because of unknown reason. Suddenly no special infected spawns during current level, only common infected, witch and tank appear. Even if trying to unload plugin and refresh, disable "l4d2_ais_enabled" and enable again, this issue still can't solve. However it goes back to normal at next level.

Fortunately I keep older version of AIS which released by Munch on Dec 2th, 2013. This older version won't happen above issue but I didn't save *.sp for backup. His original post was modified and replaced with another "spawn 28 specials" newer version. I checked this and the file of first post. They are almost the same content except the version of first post removed warning message of startling witch.

Has anyone got the same issue?

Appreciate your help. I'll test normal version for a while and see whether above issue still exists.

[Munch]

I'm currently using 3 different versions of this plugin

l4d2_autoIS.sp Normal version and probably the version you didn't backup

The following 2 are based on Fuzzone's code. Unfortunately he's been inactive for nearly 2 years so didn't expand on his version. So I've been playing around with it, Hoping to replace his code with CVARS but dont expect it soon as I've got plenty of other commitments to sort out

These are easily modified for more than 8 players (just add an extra "case" for each additional player) read code at line 860 to understand what going on (easily understood) only downside is you need to compile for every change you make. Pretty much any CVAR can be added the only thing you need to know is the difference between CVAR'S that use whole numbers and those that are fractions.

example:
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("z_common_limit"), 50);
SetConVarFloat(FindConVar("z_wandering_densit y"), 0.01);

in other words:
SetConVarInt is whole numbers 2, 77, 1300 ect
SetConVarFloat is for fractions 1.3 2.750 35.5 ect


l4d2_Auto_Insanity.sp (Test this version on my No6 link below. Obviously you will need players joining leaving and dying to see the difference)
Modified version for 8 players. More players = More & harder everything.

l4d2_autoIS_SIonly.sp (Test this version on my No5 link below. Obviously you will need players joining leaving and dying to see the difference)
And the last one is a special Special Infected only version (essentially its versus with all 8 players on the survivors team. This with considerably more Specials will seriously test your reflexes) Again like the Auto Insanity version More players = More SI with decreasing spawn times. read code at line 860 to understand what going on.

Incidentaly the version's i use where compiled with sm1.62 havn't tried latest version so I hope these work.

Due to errors in logs as a result of removing a few unused cvarsI've upload this version which I was using up until a few hours ago

This version hasn't occurred the problem that special infected stop spawning, but it won't obey my config settings like l4d2_ais_time_min "25.0" and l4d2_ais_[special infected]_limit "1". Sometimes it seems to spawn 2 identical special infected simultaneously or in few seconds.

I have had same issue occasionally however i cant say for sure whether this plugin is the cause. Maybe its a conflict with another plugin.

I looked in the .sp file and it said this:

//never directly set hSpawnTimer, use this function for custom spawn times

Actually, I noticed that some convars seem to be either overlooked or overwritten by this plugin. The only solution seems to be to either fix it, which I unfortunately can't, or to edit the .sp file. I tried to stop the new specials from spawning by editing the files and it worked. I still need to change some values though.

How to add difficulty?
such as
case 1=Easy (z_difficulty Easy)
case 4=Normal (z_difficulty Normal)
case 8=Hard (z_difficulty Hard)

How to increase the tank can be the same as witch refresh time Want to increase the number of tanks
WitchLimit = -1;
WitchPeriod = 760.0;
