Dawn of the Director (Versus Mutation)

Description
Take on the role of the AI director in this epic versus mutation! As Bill's ghost, spend points to spawn zombies & swarm your friends!


Note
- Only works on l4d1 maps (no mercy, blood harvest, etc)
- Requires at least 2 real players (best with 3 or 4)

Director Mechanics
- Bill will always become the director
- Press space to go into freelook once in spectate (may have to enable freelook in options)

- Hold the Use & Reload keys to spawn specials at your crosshair location
- Hold the Zoom/Scope button to issue a move command for the last special infected you spawned (moves to crosshair location)
- Hold the Walk key to spawn commons at your crosshair location

- When spawning zombies, you need to hold the keys down for a second (pressing them once doesn't work)

- Director starts with 15 points, 30 max
- Regenerate points every couple seconds (once survivors leave spawn)
- Zombies can only be spawned out of sight from the survivors

Chat Commands
- type these commands to bind a special infected to either the Use (e) or Reload key (r)

- !eboom OR !rboom
- !esmoke OR !rsmoke
- !ehunt OR !rhunt
- !espit OR !rspit
- !echarge OR !rcharge
- !ejock OR !rjock
- !ewitch OR !rwitch
- !etank OR !rtank

Zombie Costs
- commons 2 pts
- spitter 4 pts
- boomer 5 pts
- smoker 6 pts
- jockey 6 pts
- hunter 6 pts
- charger 8 pts
- witch 15 pts
- tank 30 pts

P.S
- Common do not de-spawn (so try to place them along the path)
- Rescue closets are disabled

All feedback is appreciated! Have fun!

Sounds awesome. This mod is extremely unique and creative, and its awesome that the creator reads suggestions. Good luck! Let me know if your able to make any progress because me and my friends play this mode ALL the time.

@Murk Really makes me happy to hear you're enjoying it! :heart: Not sure if you already found it but if you want a change of pace there is also a hidden alternate version here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2307041892

Thank you for the great suggestions! I think calling a horde is a great idea! I'd love to implement that as I try to recreate the game mode in versus! :popular::chainsaw:

The take control sounds like a great idea, nothing like being able to cause the chaos and jump in yourself! As of now that was one of the main things I was thinking when we were all playing. Also one big thing we wondered about was being able to spawn in a mob (A group of 15-25 commons), as of now the only effective way for a swarm is to spend points of commons to set up nearby, then get a boomer to vomit. I was thinking It would cost like 8 or 10 points. That really is the only thing I could think of, Other than that, this mod is an absolute blast.

Hey @Murk! Thanks for the workaround suggestion with the survivor swap, I actually didn't think about how annoying that was but I could probably easily fix it. :etgpilot:
I also love your suggestion about versus.:heart: I could design it so one infected player could be chosen as the director (or it changed like how tank changes), and maybe during spectate mode/ghost mode, could spawn zombies! Or even better, they could like, take control of an SI that they spawned? That'd be cool! :d2tidehunter: Lmk if you have other ideas! :vlambeerMimic:

Also, is there any chance you could create a "versus" mode version of this? So we could have players on both the infected, and survivor side? but also a human director? probably not possible but me and my buddy were discussing how cool it could be.

Survivor Swap: Experimental Version
I hunted for a mod that allows the use of this mod on L4D2 maps, and found this, it works.For anyone who wants to try this on lfd2 maps. Enjoy!

@The Charmer this is a fantastic idea Charmer! :health: For now, I'll try to explain in brief. What you need to each do is subscribe to the mod, start a local server (play w friends) and both join. Also a good idea is to both type sv_consistency 0 into the console in advance (helps with connecting issues). Its also crucial you pick a map that contains Bill (the survivor), as playing as Bill allows you to spawn the infected. As Bill, you can type commands, like !eboom and !rhunt to bind holding the E button to spawn boomers and the R button to spawn hunters at the location of your crosshair (must be hidden from sight). Each zombie spawned costs points and points recharge over time, you also can spend points on spawning commons by holding Shift or Walk. I really hope this helps and now that I explain it, it becomes even more evident that I really should have a video explaining this process :popular: lol

Im having an issue just trying to setup a server so a friend and I can play. Also if you could add more to the mod like a video demonstration or gameplay example so people know what they're downloading would help!

Thanks for the update Tuce! Love this mod, makes it alot easier to play Player-Director without lots of admin-menu stuff!
