I don't know how to check the survival timer. There is a "survival_at_30min" event in L4D2 that I can check for but L4D1 doesn't have that event and I want it to be a feature available for both games.

I will update the "Finale Types" setting to support normal Tanks.

(the limit must be defined in the vscript).

Too complicated.

Originally Posted by Tonblader you can add a new command like sm_forcemutanttank <number> ? Maybe... Sm_fmt <number> , more easy to remember. Ignore if "tank enabled" "0", to can forcespawn a mutant tank.

Why? There are already 2 commands...

README.md:

// Requires "z" (Root) flag.
sm_tank - Spawn a Mutant Tank.
sm_mt_tank - Spawn a Mutant Tank.

Valid inputs:

1. sm_tank <type 1*-500*> <amount: 1-32> <0: spawn on crosshair|1: spawn automatically> *The minimum and maximum values are determined by "Type Range". (The lowest value you can set is "1" and the highest value you can set is "500" though.)
2. sm_tank <type name*> <amount: 1-32> <0: spawn on crosshair|1: spawn automatically> *The plugin will attempt to match the name with any of the Mutant Tank types' names. (Partial names are acceptable. If more than 1 match is found, a random match is chosen. If 0 matches are found, the command cancels the request.)

The command has 4 functions.

If you are not a Tank:

1. When facing a non-Tank entity, a Mutant Tank will spawn with the chosen type.
2. When facing a Tank, it will switch to the chosen type.

If you are a Tank:

1. When holding down the +speed (default: LSHIFT) button, a Mutant Tank will spawn into the chosen type.
2. When not holding down the +speed button, you will transform into the chosen type.

It would be nice if for the moment, you can add this function and I can test it myself in l4d2, then can see if you can also develop it for l4d1 in another way.

Thanks i hope this works in separate ways so i can define how many tanks are normal and how many tanks are mutants.

I already have the vscript modified for me, with the silvers plugin ([L4D2 & CS:GO] VScript File Replacer), the only thing missing is that the mutant tank plugin must have a mutant tank spawn limit per wave.
Although I still don't understand how to modify the finales of: c1m4, c5m5, c6m3 and c13m4
In case of c5m5 and c13m4, these do not have a vscript equal to the other finales.

This mainly (in my case) is for the cooperative mode and I wanted to be able to appear tanks, even if the "Tank Enabled" options were at "0".
To see how they behave under certain circumstances, test its functionality, see if it can be used in combination with other plugins, etc.
Mainly, to be able to enter test/developer mode.
What I'm looking for is to be able to have this plugin activated and to be able to spawn mutant tanks at any time with commands, having the other spawn functions turned off.

I might add it in the next update.

EDIT: I figured out how to detect when the survival round starts. I will add a “Survival Delay” setting in the next update.

In the next update, you will be allowed to specify which waves have mutants.

The "Tank Enabled" setting must be "1" to test a Mutant Tank. It affects all abilities and features that a Mutant Tank has. If you want to just spawn a Mutant Tank for testing without affecting other spawn functions, just set "Spawn Enabled" to "0".

Example:

PHP Code:

"Mutant Tanks"
{
    "Tank #1"
    {
        "General"
        {
            "Tank Enabled"            "1" // always available
            "Spawn Enabled"            "0" // cannot spawn normally to fight survivors, must be spawned with "sm_tank"/"sm_mt_tank"
        }
    }
}

Is the value of the parameter in information.md the default value?

Yes, they are.

The concern I have with this is that in the vscript, they define the STAGES in different Values.
I mean while in some campaigns there are a total of 8 STAGES, in c1m4 or c6m3 there are like 31 STAGES.
This only in 2 final campaigns, all have their particularity of STAGES.
This complicates more to configure it.

What I can think of, as an alternative solution to the mutant tank plugin, is to use a different *.cfg for each map and gamemode.

Something like what i request in these 2 plugins:

Extended Map configs
[L4D & L4D2] Game Mode Config Loader 1.6

Those plugins' features are already part of Mutant Tanks' custom configs system. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do.

PHP Code:

"Mutant Tanks"
{
    "Plugin Settings"
    {
        "Custom"
        {
            // Enable Mutant Tanks custom configuration.
            // Note: This setting cannot be changed in custom config files.
            // --
            // 0/"disabled"/"false"/"off"/"no": OFF
            // 1/"enabled"/"true"/"on"/"yes": ON
            "Enable Custom Configs"            "0"

            // The type of custom config that Mutant Tanks creates.
            // Note: This setting cannot be changed in custom config files.
            // --
            // Add up numbers together for different results.
            // --
            // Minimum: 0
            // Maximum: 255
            // --
            // 0: OFF
            // 1: Difficulties
            // 2: Maps
            // 4: Game modes
            // 8: Days
            // 16: Player count
            // 32: Survivor count (Humans only)
            // 64: Infected count (Humans only)
            // 128: Finale stages
            "Create Config Types"            "0"

            // The type of custom config that Mutant Tanks executes.
            // Note: Custom config files that do not exist will not be executed.
            // Note: This setting cannot be changed in custom config files.
            // --
            // Add up numbers together for different results.
            // --
            // Minimum: 0
            // Maximum: 255
            // --
            // 0: OFF
            // 1: Difficulties
            // 2: Maps
            // 4: Game modes
            // 8: Days
            // 16: Player count
            // 32: Survivor count (Humans only)
            // 64: Infected count (Humans only)
            // 128: Finale stages
            "Execute Config Types"            "0"
        }
    }
} 


Most of the stages are for panic events and onslaughts. The Tank waves each correspond with events that are already hooked by MT. MT also offers custom configs for each finale stage which will allow you to set the value of "Spawn Limit" for each Tank wave, regardless of how many stages a finale map's Vscript has.

Sorry Crasher, I think I'm using an old file, is my bad, I should have followed the instructions over the README.
Thanks for replying! Sorry again, I'll do better next time!
