    Left 4 Dead Zombie Havoc

    Description:

    This plugin will allow you to run an eight player Coop server. I know there are other plugins that do this, but I was not satisfied when I used them so I set out to create my own.

    Features:
    • Up to 8 player Coop campaigns
    • Automatically switches to new campaign at end of current campaign (Only works on the stock maps)
    • SuperTank based on number of survivors
    • Extra medkits spawned at each ammo pile
    • Harder zombies using sm_hardzombies
    • Auto Havoc: Automatically adjust difficulty based on survivor performance
    • Automatically spawn bots for human take over if needed
    Prerequisites:
    This plugin requires the use of the Left 4 Downtown Extension. This will only work on Coop games.

    Installation:
    Copy the l4d_zombie_havoc.smx file to the addons/sourcemod/plugins and the plugin.l4d_zombie_havoc.txt file to your addons/souremod/translations directorys on your server. Alternatively, you can just copy the addons folder to your server and it will put all files in the appropriate places. Restart the server and type sm plugins list and make sure Zombie Havoc is on the list.

    Configuration:

    You should add -maxplayers 8 to your servers command line. This will set the server to run at a max of 8 players. I also recommend setting the following CVAR's in your server.cfg:

    Code:
    sm_cvar sv_visiblemaxplayers                 -1
    sm_cvar l4d_maxplayers                        8
    sv_allow_lobby_connect_only                   0
    Zombie Havoc will create a config in the cfg/sourcemod directory on your server when it is first ran. There you can configure the plugin to your liking. The sm_l4d_zh_survivor_min_limit and sm_l4d_zh_survivor_max_limit CVAR's supersede any other survivor team limit, however you will still need the sm_cvar l4d_maxplayers, in your server.cfg set to the maximum amount you would like on your server. Since version 1.3.0, Zombie Havoc includes an option to automatically spawn bots for human take over if needed. What this means is if you have sm_l4d_zh_survivor_min_limit set to 4 and sm_l4d_zh_survivor_max_limit set to 8, you will only have four players until another player joins at which point it will add a bot for that human to take over if needed. This will continue until the sm_l4d_zh_survivor_max_limit is reached.

    Upgrading:
    Copy the l4d_zombie_havoc.smx file to the addons/Sourcemod/plugins and the plugin.l4d_zombie_havoc.txt file to your addons/souremod/translations directorys on your server overwriting the current files. Alternately, you can just copy the addons folder to your server and everything will be put in the appropriate place. Delete the autoexec config in the cfg/sourcemod directory so a new one is created. If you made any changes to the default values you will need to change them again. Doing this will ensure any new CVAR's have been added.

    ConVars:
    Zombie Havoc features its own custom map menu for admins. It is sorted based on campaign for simplicity. To change to the survivor team if you are stuck as a spectator, you can type the following command in the chat:

    Code:
    sm_jointeam
    If you want a greater difficulty you can manually add more zombies with the CVAR listed below. Only numbers 1-6 will be accepted as anything bigger than 6 will most likely cause your server to crash. Whatever number you enter is multiplied by 30 to get the total number of zombies. I recommend using 3 as anything higher than that seems to cause the server to lag.
    Code:
    sm_hardzombies 1-6
    Code:
    sm_addbot
    Changes the min survivor limit and spawns a survivor bot.

    CVAR's
    These are Zombie Havoc specific CVAR's that you can use to control how you want Zombie Havoc to be used.

    sm_l4d_zh_survivor_max_limit - This sets the maximum amount of survivors you would like and includes bots. This value will normally be the same as +maxplayers from servers your command line. This value cannot be less than 4.
    sm_l4d_zh_survivor_min_imit - This sets the minimum, or starting, amount of survivors. This value cannot be less than 4.
    sm_l4d_zh_automatic_spawning - Allows you to enable or disable automatic spawning of bots for human take over as described above.
    sm_l4d_zh_supertank - Automatically set the Tank's HP based on the number of survivors. The Tank's HP is capped at 65535.
    sm_l4d_zh_tank_hpmulti - This is the multipler used to calculate the Tank's HP if SuperTank is on. (1 + multiplier) * (# of survivors - 4)
    sm_l4d_zh_extra_aidkits - Spawns extra medkits at each ammo pile outside of the safe house that doesn't already have them.
    sm_l4d_zh_extra_aidkits_count - The number of medkits to spawn in extra medkits is turned on.
    sm_l4d_zh_kill_reservation - Enable or disable lobby reservation on the server. You must have the Left 4 Downtown Extension installed to use this.
    sm_l4d_zh_auto_havoc - Enable or disable the automatic handling of the difficulty based on the survivor's performance.
    sm_l4d_zh_auto_havoc_count - If Auto Havoc is turned on, how many losses until the difficulty is reset.

    Translations
    As of version 1.3.0, Zombie Havoc uses a SM translation file for all of its language variables. If you have translated Zombie Havoc to another language please make a post in this thread with the language you have translated it to and the file attached. I will then add it to Zombie Havoc for the next version and you will recieve credit.
