Spitter type is L4D2 only.

Old plugin would spawn 1 for every 2 common infected when "random" was set to "1". Now I've updated to make it spawn 1 for every 1, so you can make it spawn only Mutant Zombies.

Left 4 Dhooks shouldn't be causing such a slowdown, it's probably quicker than the extension in some ways because it only detours and fires forwards when they're used, where the extension I assume always firing them (but I don't know for sure how extensions operate). All the natives shouldn't be causing an issue, they're basically static only consuming a tiny bit of memory. The rest of the plugin is very minimal not doing anything more than a simple plugin tracking events for players leaving/entering checkpoint areas. Sure using the natives and detours will be slower because of the overhead calling back into SM and DHooks compared to the extension, but to really lag the game seems strange.

Was is the Anomaly causing the slowdown and not Left 4 DHooks? That plugin might be slightly more taxing because of it using a 0.1 repeating timer, checking position and firing tracerays to move around, checking for nearby players etc (although those things are limited to fire every second or two not constantly).



Updated:

1.6 (18-Mar-2020)
    - Changed the random spawn selection method to use >= instead of > value.
    - Now you can specify "random" "1" in the config to make every common infected spawned a Mutant Zombie.
    - This also applies to each types individual "random" setting.

    - Added "uncommon" data config setting. This allows uncommon infected to also be Mutants. Default off.
    - Fixed "check" data config setting from never actually being read.

Note that Uncommon are from L4D2 only.

Thanks for this update Silvers it's great ... so now there is much more scope to configure the plugin

- Added "uncommon" data config setting. This allows uncommon infected to also be Mutants. Default off.

What do you mean uncommon infected ? Do you mean Specials boomers, hunters & smokers ?
Wow I hope this is the case this would be amazing!
If so, how do i turn this option on ?
I loaded the plugin but see no option in the l4d_mutants.cfg

or is it turned on via the other l4d_mutants.cfg in the data folder?

or can i switch it on via the source code ?

    - Fixed clients giving themselves damage instead of from the server. Thanks to "TiTz" for reporting.
    - Fixed "IsAllowedGameMode" from throwing errors when the "_tog" cvar was changed before MapStart.

I use it on 1.10 and it works. Need more info, can't help otherwise. Does it show as loaded in sm plugins list? Do any of the commands work, are you sure it's not working?

[strikeraot]
