Optional Directors

Description
This Addon is not needed to play any map.
Adding a variety of different Director options to my maps.

How it functions & for map makers:
I use a input at the info_director by simply entering the file name (without the .nut) in the parameter and it works when the players have this addon installed. If the player doesn't, then the trigger/script gets ignored as if it never existed.

Meaning the standard director takes over, preserving the vanilla balance for those who want it.

File Names:
15z_6s
30z_5s
45z_4s
60z_3s
75z_2s
90z_1s
(Ending in .nut)

Put one of them as a input parameter at the info_director.

Or put them into a logic_case and use it as a randomizer, be it once or multiple times!

The Big Details/What It Does:

The (number)z_(number)s give a quick summary

> 15z means 15 common infected Limit
> 6s means 6 special infected Limit

They also increase the dominator limit by 1 (putting it at 3), meaning you can get 3 hunters, 3 smokers, 3 jockeys... etc.

And respawn timer (Slots) is cut down from 45 seconds to 20 seconds, but the initial spawn timer remains the same as vanilla to prevent a constant attack of special infected.

Obviously there is more and if you are interested, then be free to open the files yourself with VPKEdit or similiar!

Changes the amount of infected & special infected in my campaigns/maps.
"Randomly" between 15 Infected & 6 Special Infected to 90 Infected & 1 Special Infected.

I didn't want to force anyone to use it, if they prefer the vanilla balance.
Essentially, changes the pacing in an unpredictable way each run. I enjoy it, but it really isn't for everyone.
