About:

• Modify population.txt values by config instead of conflicting VPK files.
• Allows multiple populations.txt files that can be modified for specific maps.
• See the \addons\sourcemod\data\l4d_population_editor. cfg config to set map specific configs.

• The \scripts\population_default.txt file is a modified version of the games default population.txt (fixing percentages not adding up to 100).
• The \scripts\population2.txt file is an example config, listing all available common infected models.

• You can find more information on the Valve wiki: Left 4 Dead Infected Populations

I've been waiting for this for years.

Thanks Silvers

    - Ignores non-common infected spawn areas allowing Special Infected to spawn.

Not sure this was required, but ignores these sections and lets the game handle it now.


This plugin could be modified to control the type of Uncommon Infected spawning. But I'm not sure how best to approach this. Maybe an entry for each type in the data config, controlling their chance to spawn. That way you could control map specific values. If anyone has any ideas please reply.

I think it does and it should, you would have to add in the custom model names. Post them here and I can add them to the config at some point with a link to the Extended Common Infected mod.

Any idea what im doing wrong here?

Trying to get the tank to spawn inside the church on Death Toll and he simply won't get chosen.

This is the value I have now and he still doesn't spawn.

// random zombie type spawned at the church after the mini-finale
church
{
hunter 0
smoker 0
boomer 0
tank 100
}

The values before I had...

// random zombie type spawned at the church after the mini-finale
church
{
hunter 10
smoker 5
boomer 10
tank 75
}

In either scenario, he simply doesn't get chosen in the church.
