Update: 20 Aug, 2023 @ 2:35pm

Bug Fixes
  • Separated `cm_MaxSpecials > 6` into its own `if` statement. This fixes a bug where mutations such as `Hard Eight` would only spawn 6 special infected at once if the `MaxSpecials` variable was lower than 6.

Update: 20 Aug, 2023 @ 3:58am

Changes
  • Added an `or` operator in the `if` statement for `cm_MaxSpecials`. This should fix the issue where the spawn limits for each special infected would still be set to 1.

Update: 20 Aug, 2023 @ 3:40am

Additions
  • Implemented the ability for players to change the variables listed in the `settings.txt` file as well as modify or even add new command variables in the `convars.txt` file located in the `~/ems/sisync-comp/cfg/` directory.
Changes
  • Used "DirectorOptions.*" instead of "DirectorScript.GetDirectorOptions().*" to specify the variables to modify in-game. This limits each special infected to 1 in the `DirectorOptions` table as doing so with "DirectorScript.GetDirectorOptions().*" would've caused an index error.
  • Modified the `nb_saccade_speed` and `nb_saccade_time` command variables to make the special infected aim at the survivors more accurately.

Update: 16 Aug, 2023 @ 2:57pm

Changes
  • Modified the `tongue_dropping_to_ground_time` command variable to match the variable used in Versus mode.

Update: 15 Aug, 2023 @ 12:24am

Additions
  • Added a few functions to make the Charger take normal damage while charging.
  • Added some functions to deal damage to survivors while they're being pulled by the Smoker.

Update: 11 Aug, 2023 @ 7:01am

Changes
  • Updated thumbnail image to make it distinct from my other add-ons.

Update: 8 Aug, 2023 @ 2:20pm

Changes
  • Reworked the `surv_group_dist()` function to compare the highest and second-highest flow distance instead of averaging the flow distance of all survivors. This ensures the distance calculation between two players are consistent regardless of player count.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 6 Aug, 2023 @ 8:30pm

Additions
  • Added a function which forces the special infected to spawn near the survivor currently in the lead if they are a certain distance away from the other survivors. This encourages the survivors to stick together and avoid being separated from each other.
Bug Fixes
  • Reimplemented the try/catch statement and separated the `cm_MaxSpecials` and `MaxSpecials` variables into if/else statements. This fixes an issue where the special infected wouldn't be able to respawn after a set time had passed and improves the compatibility for mutations.

Update: 5 Aug, 2023 @ 3:32pm

Bug Fixes
  • Removed the `SpecialInfectedAssault` variable from the `DirectorOptions` table as it was causing the Smoker to not move.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 5 Aug, 2023 @ 5:02am

Changes
  • Added more command variables which were listed in `gamemodes.txt` underneath "versus" to make the special infected function more like how they behave in Versus mode.
  • Changed the `PreferedSpecialDirection` from `SPAWN_SPECIALS_IN_FRONT_OF_SURVIVORS` to `SPAWN_SPECIALS_ANYWHERE` which could allow the special infected to spawn in different directions other than simply in front of the survivors.
